I listened to 3 songs for 30 seconds, and they all sounded the same.

Nailed it. Every. Single. Song. Imagine THAT being your favorite band?

I wonder which song he used for dynamic, gamebreaking Tippett.

Charlie might as well be speaking Greek to me when he starts rambling about these indie bands.

The National suck too. Match made in heaven.

I listened to their one album when I was in high school and they had big hype and there were two songs on it I liked and I don't remember them now, so that's my review of that band.

I do know that years later they played at a venue in Pittsburgh I interned at and I was not there for the sound check, but apparently the lead singer was real hammered and pissed and threw a bottle at the huge light board that was part of their stage setup and broke a section of it. And I remember thinking that band was not nearly cool enough to be hammered and angry and throwing shit at 3PM.

Birdy's cover of Terrible Love is way better than the original

What band? I tried scrolling through his crap and saw only like two artists I've heard of and I'm in my mid 40's. It looks like a mix of emo and indie artists, a soundtrack for for the pretentious.

EDIT: Oh I thought The National was a website, not a band.

The National are okay. Kinda bland and never stuck with me. I feel like they peaked in the early to mid 2010s?

Just added "emo" to my list of muted words on twitter.

Might as well set the bar for a 2D as someone of the best in this league and anything less, they aren't good enough. Charlie really loves his bad hot takes.

If you read this thread it looks like Charles is on the verge of an anti-stat rant.

Does Charlie know that you still can’t buy the Flyers blouses?

FIFY

 

[Striiker]

Oh, so suddenly Charlie is bothered by incompetence and doesn't feel obligated to find silver linings?

That's interesting.

Charlie’s standards for a Cup caliber defense are maybe too high. How do you pair that with a belief in the Flyers (defense) being good enough with this express 3 year rebuild? No clue! Just focus on Gauthier being a stylistic dead ringer for Draisaitl.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Didn't the analytics guys dump on Charlie for putting Manson on his Norris ballot too one year?

This is the same guy that definitively declared Risto a better play driver than Ghost based on one partial season and zero context.

Charlie’s approach to development has always been what I would consider outside of reasonable. Not long after he started writing there, I had a perfectly polite discussion with him in the comments of one of his articles where he argued that Gostisbehere being a good NHL a player by definition meant that his development was handled properly and the org was maximizing their defensive assets to a reasonable degree. Basically, that you can always do better, but what they did worked and that was the end of any reasonable complaints.

There’s no hard right or wrong, but I think he’s more of a results > process guy than he might say he is. Call it the Manson Corollary. It somewhat explains the Draisaitl comp too.
