Imagine being a young guy on the team sitting in the press box or the AHL watching Yandle out there every night stink it up with no consequences to his standing because of the dumb streak.
Not to mention Sanheim sitting on the bench watching Yandle get all that PP time. Even if he was effective on the PP, it was absurd to keep sending him out here once the season was lost in December. Everyone knew he wouldn't be back next season.

Given both his roles in the Flyers alumni and as a writer/hired gun for the team, he is watching his life’s work become more outdated the more the Flyers descend into irrelevance. There’s adult-age young people who have never seen the Flyers be ‘the Flyers.’ In 10 years, very few people will give two shits about any of them, their identity will be what all this is now and not the 70’s and 80’s, or even the Lindros years of chaos. And that’s not to say anyone shouldn’t, but you tell me how many people under 30 have any kind of emotional attachment to the glory years of the Pittsburgh Pirates or New York Knicks.

He’s such a spineless little bitch



They’re in the running. It’s not good & they're one of the worst in the league. I really don’t see the reason for splitting hairs here.

Someone ate their Wheaties today.







Bottom 5 teams too?


I like how Bill’s arguing with a guy who’s named his anonymous account after a local strip club. :laugh:

Excuse me, it's the local strip club's buffet he's paying homage to!

He’s literally incapable of posting anything other than braindead hockey takes and “reports” that are just vague bullshit that anyone could come up with.



“They’re talking about a new contract. Whether they sign one or not will depend on if they decide to or not”


There is a podcast with him, and Myrtetus. I’m guilty for listening to an episode.

He says nothing of substance. Ever. It’s just ass kissing, or vague statements any of us could make based on readily available info. How he’s managed to somehow become known as an insider or whatever it beyond me.

Well played I guess.

Myrtetus has the worst job of them all. He’s gotta actively sell that things actually aren’t so bad. Maybe Artem Anisimov can become 22 again.

If have more sympathy if he actively didn’t mock those who want a rebuild, and have this holier than thou attitude.

f*** him. Eat up.

Oh no I agree with that. But he has one of the toughest jobs out there. He’s gotta keep convincing everyone that he is right and everyone else is wrong despite all the evidence to the contrary.

Yeah, he gets zero sympathy because he’s as smug as he is ignorant. He tries and fails to mock anyone who calls out management, especially if you use that spooky black magic witchcraft… analytics.

Look at this embarrassing trash

I get your point, this this conveniently leads to a drum I’ve been beating for a while now.

The Flyers analytics department is garbage. I don’t believe for a second that they are on some island trying to steer these guys into smart decisions. They are playing the political country club game like every other department. Ian Anderson + that staff are either stupid, unable to effectively communicate their concerns, or more than likely not wanting to rock the boat.

Bill always used to preach sports being a "what have you done for me lately" business when I read his stuff on Hockeybuzz. Maybe we should ask what have the Flyers done for us lately?

Those 11 cup rings have translated to failed season after failed season with the exception of a 2 month hot streak, and lately it's been even worse.

But we know he'd deflect and tell us all about how leadership is trying really hard to improve the roster.
