Did Risto ever even demish some poor sap and stick up for his teammates at all last season?
I love that the numbers are wrong but those who like Risto think hes a shutdown/stay at home defenseman when hes not. Hes a big guy with average skill and low hockey iq who roams and hits people.
Also...is there any actual evidence tbat RD/LD pair is that important?

No, he hardly does anything other than put himself out of position by chasing weak little bumps. He maybe had one or two "big" hits all season but they're so forgettable nothing comes to mind.
And yeah, with stupid, lazy people like ASF and DiMarco, everything is about cliches and stereotypes. They're not willing to educate themselves and learn about the sport they're paid to cover, so they act like things like advanced stats are the enemy. Or if you're DiMarco, you use them wrong in an attempt to prove a point but if anyone ever mentions them to you then you shriek about how they're only a tool and don't prove anything.
As for RD/LD, the best pair we've had in the last decade was two LD's together, so no, it's nowhere near as important as hockey dinosaurs want us to believe.

DiMarco just said you need vets to fill out your 4th line bc you dont draft 4th liners.
A. Thats largely what the flyers draft
B. Not all 4th liners are undrafted so clearly someone does

And good teams have 3rd liners on the 4th line. The Flyers have AHL players on theirs.

I did a few years ago before Twitter banned me and he sent me a DM asking why I came after him lol

Brian said DiMarco blocks everyone who criticizes him, so there's really no point in calling him out.
He's happy in his echo chamber of idiots like ASF, Myrtetus, and DanTheFlyeraFan.

Looking back at this and it’s even funnier because the flyers never did anything

Hextall did keep the leaks shut down coming out of the Flyers organization when he was there. Compared to Fletcher who has a loose ship we’re more accustomed to with the Flyers organization. So there’s more breadcrumbs out there from legitimate national sources that you can piggyback off of. Fletcher also essentially telegraphs every move he makes during his availability so it’s not exactly hard to predict what he’s going to do eitherz

That’s more evidence to me as to where the leaks came from. It wasn’t that the leakers we’re not there, they just couldn’t get the information.

Now look up what those think of Ristolainen.

Raw point totals if they played on comparable teams too.
But as usual, that braindead **** blindly uses stats he doesn’t understand, just so long as they fit his narrative.

Pacioretty is better. It’s not in question. The question is if the difference is a 2023 top 10 1st? No, no it’s not. One contract people were gobsmacked was dumped for nothing.

I think Pacorietty is a noticeably better player than JvR. But I laugh because he’ll use Micah’s data for that but that same data paints Ristolainen (who that guy defends to no end) as a sub-replacement player.

Exactly.
I don't care about the conclusion, I just have no patience for assholes who uses dishonest tactics.
Brian tweeted the Risto data at him but the "rising star" won't acknowledge it.

Translation. Hey, he’s terrible at hockey but he sucks ass while expending a lot of energy.

I’m convinced most Flyers fans don’t even like hockey. They’re just too dumb to figure out how to get PPV UFC and boxing.
Problem is the Flyers are managed by dumb goons who have the same mentality.

This dude was an absolute Prick to me when I was 10-12 yrs old. I'd go down to the locker rooms after the games (Hershey Bears, old arena) looking for broken sticks and leftover rolls of tape. He'd go out of his way to be an a-hole.

Didn't they let Settlemyer go just a couple of seasons ago as well? Did we ever get the story on that?
