Flyers love winning the last cup, especially when it confirms their pre-conceived notions

Therian is on fire lately.

Thinks you can only be a center if youre "big". Doesnt get the Michkov hype because hes "only a 7th overall... not like hes 1 or 2". Thinks Gauthier is better and thinks fans should too bc he was picked 5th, not 7th. Doesnt think you can improve your skating past 18 years old.

Woof.

Holy smokes, did he fall off the wagon?

Lol.

Sounds like he’s positioning himself to get a job with the organization again.

I know that sounds self-evident, but it’s actually worse if you think about what they specifically mean by that. Jones has said similar shit (specifically about Vegas’ defense).

I’ve said for a while that Vegas is the cap era Flyers in team building philosophy. That’s not an entirely negative statement. But of all the recent winners/contenders, it’s the team you least want to emulate for a bunch of reasons.

All their defensemen can make plays with the puck at an adequate or higher level. When was the last time the Flyers had that? The Flyers will certainly emulate them as far as the tape measure goes but it’s highly unlikely they match them in actual hockey ability.

Not the Blues?

I wish Torts was more involved in the "actually coaching NHL games" category.

Wait, what am I saying, no I don't!

The most hilarious part of the "we can build like the Knights" discourse is how the contrarians told us this team was better off trading assets for Fisto than it was putting them together for Eichel.

The hopeful part of me remembers how much Keith Jones was messing his jeans over Eichel throughout the cup final. He was literally giddy at points. Then the reality based part of me remembers how much he did the same thing over Risto for the past 2 years, plus whenever the Flyers played the Sabres before that.

Not the Blues?

Hmmm. I guess it’s a toss-up for different reasons. Both teams were playoff caliber rosters, but there’s not much in the way of sustainable processes. Vegas abused LTIR and spent like drunken sailors, and most of their core players are older. We also know they weren’t exactly a machine these playoffs. That it happened doesn’t mean it’s a blueprint.

The Blues were probably the gold standard of fringe contender, built on depth, for most of a decade. They finally broke through in a bipolar season, with some retooling, but they always seemed built for a lightning in a bottle run. Looking at them now — and they’re somewhat rebuilding — their best players are a 2nd rounder, a late 1st, and one of the best trades in recent history. I don’t see the Flyers doing that either.

So, what do they take away from Vegas’ — or any team’s — success? Vegas is supremely cavalier with their asset and cap management, but they also hunt for elite talent and go through good coaches like they’re going out of style. In some ways, I respect the risks they take to win in a sea of safety nets. But none of these things sound like the Flyers today.

I’m going to surmise their evaluation is as simple as: Vegas big, Vegas heavy, Vegas recent. It’s just confirmation bias. When a team you philosophically don’t admire wins or has success you get, “There’s more than one way to win.” When a team you want to emulate does it you get *wild gesticulating*.

I borderline want to start a new twitter account so I can bookmark that. Though I'm sure COC would just end up blocking me for not "finding the positive" right away anyways.

 

[Cody Webster]

That rebuild going just as planned!

It’s a joke of a streak because the Eagles lost. If they won he’d be celebrating ending the streak.

“I didn’t want to play with that anyway.”

 

[Striiker]

He can’t even be consistent within this single tweet.

“One thing that I will always be consistent about is that aside from players who are trying to earn a spot on the roster/starting lineup, preseason games are an overblown waste of everyone's time, in every sport”

Red contradicts blue. He’s saying it’s a waste of time… except for evaluating who deserves a roster spot (especially Frost if he makes a single mistake).

Idiot.

There are plenty of minions here and on social media who think like he does. Some things never change

Hey Jamey what will they be after the Flyers developmental team get their filthy mitts on them.

People didn't listen to us when we said Charlie fell off after he got the bag from The Athletic.

I’ll promise you one thing: when I inevitably become the Flyers social media manager or comms director, I won’t change one bit. Even if it gets me fired.

Charlie is just weak.
