Hey Jason, hope you’re feeling a little better today. Thanks for hanging in there and keeping the channel going. I’ve been watching the Flyers since the cup years, when I was 14. The last dozen years have been tough to watch, especially the last 3. Brutal. Michkov has been a breath of fresh air, and a few of the games recently have actually been fun to watch. I hope that the Flyers lose most of the rest of their games this year, hoping for a better draft pick. On the other hand, after bleeding orange and black for the past 50+ years, I just can’t root against them. So I’ll find joy with any remaining wins, and find solace with the losses, in that their draft pick might be a bit better. I hope Danny makes the most of the picks this year.
Keep fighting.
Getting tired of hearing the Tank argument tbh. Theres an aspect that I dont think is being considered with racking up these so-called "useless" wins, and thats confidence. I would rather the guys rack up wins now and go into the offseason with at least a little pep in their step and some enthusiasm for next season. Yes, even at the cost of picking a bit further back in the draft. To me that has a greater effect on the team as a whole rather than continue losing for the chance, not guarantee, chance of getting a higher spot in the line, and on top of that sending them into the off season feeling miserable and with no confidence in the team's ability to compete. Knowing the season these guys have had, they need that confidence boost. And with all the picks they have banked up for this draft, I suspect Danny's not too worried about their draft position.
Thanks for getting to all the questions! Fun ep, and always enjoy hearing your takes.
🤦♂️sporttrac hasn’t updated Oetter contract on their G FA list (& I have a goldfish memory). Damn Caps buying capfriendly site. It was great for FAs, contracts, and preventing my dumba$$ questions from waste others time.
Teets is losing weight. Godspeed through hell brother. Thanks for being here tonight. Love you
Daduh? The word is daytuh. Daduh is what Willow Ufgood's kids call him😛
Wasn’t Giroux drafted at 22nd overall? The tank argument is a joke honestly. How many times has Buffalo tanked and they’re still bottom feeders? And how many tanks did it take for Edmonton to finally get something together. It’s not about position as much as it is about scouting and development.
I was ready to shoot a puck through my phone! Love this and the whiteboard. Keep grinding Jason!
A lot of teams have faced that. Eagles had to bust through the Patriots to win and this time the Chiefs. The Flyers in the past I feel were always one player, one move away, from putting them over the edge. But they would sign players and bring up new talent. Why has this gotten so complicated?
How can people say Torts was too defensive ? The goal dif is horrible where else would you focus?
Vasilevskiy has an off-season regimen with a personal trainer in a gym where they work on his lower body strength and agility so he can make 60 starts plus playoffs. Fedotov would benefit from such a program besides saving his career.
Aside from the AHL call ups, who do you think is getting sent to the Phantoms to help them finish their year?
I think you need to do a crib tour during the summer you’re feeling a little better. See your guitars and memorabilia
The market for Allen will be too strong. There will be other teams in a Better situation
Torts collapsed defense directly affects the transition game. Walker was a big reason. Seeler and Zumula are terrible outlet passers
I love to hear how many fellow Calgarians are fellow flyers fans, and fans of the show!
Jason, I am here for all the goalie demonstrations! The insight that you provided was very informative and highlighted some of the intricacies of the position that I was not aware of but now understand. Well done 👏
I'm all in for the Michkov Calder.
We've just had so little to celebrate in recent years, it would be cool to get a nice accolade for our up and coming star.
Wouldn't be mad at a high pick, too
Prior to the cap era, the Flyers were well run and one of the better organizations in hockey.
Since the cap went in effect they have been one of the worst.
