What! He's a rich elite with multiple TVs. He's going to be guillotined after the revolution.

I'm the highly charismatic everyman who will be placed in charge after the revolution. I have only a few TVs.

We are opposites.
You’re child will murder you before you survive the revolution. You both have multiple tvs. It’s a wash.
It doesn’t help he chanted his name two or three times this year.

@Striiker you can go any time. TNT is showing "Rise of Skywalker" tomorrow, even though it's more like "Rise of Palpatine," amirite?
Oh sorry, I didn't even see I was up. SOMEBODY didn't tag me.

Pretty selfish of him to put his blood relatives over us, but whatever....

And yeah, those movies are shit.

Originals > Prequels >>>>>>> Sequels

There was a post from Jfresh with his thoughts on the state of all of the jerseys in the NHL and he ranked the Flyers #22, and some of us were saying they need a change not because they're bad but because they just...need a change. Metaphorically and physically

Yosh, I know - I responded to JFresh on Shitter. I didn't see the latest stuff where you guys did your own until a few minutes ago. I have been ignoring all the hockey threads all summer.

I wouldn’t even know what they could do to make a change. I feel like at this point it wouldn’t look good since they’ve had pretty much the same jersey for damn near 50 years.

Nah, S tier is the best of the best. At least to me. If I can't identify any that are a cut above the best, then nothing in S tier. Womp
Yeah, that’s basically what I mean. S-tier doesnt mean it’s perfect, just that there’s nothing ranked better than it.

Those are the ceiling, and then you can debate how high or low that ceiling is.

Think of it like this, if I were doing a tier list of broad street bullies, I’d have to put Clarke in S-tier.

Now obviously we all know he sucks and couldn’t tie a 2022 NHLers skates, but he was ahead of the other guys on the team who sucked more, so by default he’d be at the top.
That’s the beauty of it. We were all together at the same time. @Asnito is the only expansion that we have ever had and thanks to his “S”hit tier team, we probably won’t expand again.

Right but on the other hand, if we were doing a Flyers history tier list, Giroux is clearly ahead of all other guys (with Lindros), and belongs in S tier. Because it's clear that he's among the best of the best.

If I can't easily discern the best of the best, no one is the best of the best. And that belongs in A tier.

Dude, would Lindros be an A or S? Injuries and shenanigans included. He’s up there but is he “up there?”

Hmmmm… that’s a good point.

So something like Giroux and Lindros in S-tier, nobody in A-tier because nobody comes close, and then the next best in B-tier?

What I did was roughly break down the group into smaller groups. Caps jerseys are only going up against caps jerseys. Some will be better than others. There’s no mystery jersey that is outside the quackverse.

Okay, I don't have the time or patience right now to sort through all the potential pitfalls of taking a fictional trainer who may or may not be the intellectual property of someone's Team Waiter who was once cast in the unbroadcast pilot episode of the fanfiction version of their aunt's lifestory.

That leaves me with the real world, where many of my initial notions have already been claimed.

I am going to be like a boring hockey dino and live in a boring hockey world and select Gary Roberts as Team Trainer.

@CanadianFlyer88 , go do a push-up or something.
