I'm looking less and less dumb for saying 2nd round is possible
It feels like to me that with Porter and Michkov, that the Flyers reminds me of the middle 2000's when they had Richards and Carter for their top prospects. There seems to be a lot of excitement.
Hi Jason. I’m glad to hear that your treatments are close to being finished. Stay with it and stay positive. You got this beat. Do you know what happened with the stream of the scrimmage on Sunday afternoon? The video was terrible; the single camera angle was horrendous and it was severely out of focus (or at least appeared to be) 99% of the time. Oh and the complete loss of video for most of the second period, and loss of audio for about 5 seconds several times. Comcast is a 266 BILLION DOLLAR company, and a huge provider of internet. Did you hear any of the dirt on what happened today? Sorry, just asking because I know no one else that could know….
Flohockey and Cam Robinson both had Jack Nesbitt as a huge reach. Some of us have stopped drinking the Flyers Koolaid along time ago. It's good we have become skeptical it holds this franchise accountable. It's been 50 years. So let's be realistic.
Theres video of Flyers scouts banging the table for Morin back in the day. For appeal to authority to work, competency must be present. Over the past 15 years, are the Flyers club a + in scouting/drafting? If so, why are we picking top 10? Not everyone who disliked the reach at 12 is just some dumb dumb who watches media (which is media driven btw). Some people do their own deep dives, or find people that do. Steve Kournianos does a ton of work and supply's his method. I can like the player but understand it was terrible value as well. There's also something to be said that people can criticize a pick/reach like nesbitt or Luchanko and like other picks.there is room for nuance.
Jason, glad to see your treatments are nearing the end, all the best brother! Regarding picks like Nesbitt and Luchanko, people should appreciate that the Flyers aren’t just making chalk picks, anyone can do that. It is about taking chances and looking for talent that the scouts have identified. If both of these picks hit then the scouts did their job, they know should know better than the public and other so called draft experts. Trust in the process but be critical at the right times, not at the inception when these players are drafted.
Craig Button…..😂 Professional wrong person.
College hockey isn't for everyone. People seem to glass over the fact that they play way, way less games than Junior. If a players development requires playing and working on his game, college is a #2 choice. Most schools have the actual 'school' element 🙂 Junior players who are a bit older can focus almost exclusively on hockey.
FINALLY a podcaster that states the Nesbitt draft pick correct!!! Ever since draft night every time I heard someone say "We gave up TWO first-round picks for Nesbitt" it drove me absolutely nuts as this major MISNOMER unfairly & incorrectly put more pressure on the kid bc like you said we ONLY gave up the 31st pick to move up to #12 since if available at #22 they woulda drafted him there anyway … A true example of when TWO first round picks were given up for a player is that draft day trade for picks #15 & #16 for Noah Dobson…
So in short, asset-wise Noah Dobson cost the Habs two first-rounders whereas Nesbitt just cost the Flyers the 31st pick and NOT 2 first-rounders so to speak!!! But this misnomer is. so dangerous bc it just puts unfair pressure on the kid although I believe he will be better than 3-4 centermen of the 8 drafted b4 him!!!
Can we get Bill a better stream set up? Good lord. Never works, ring notifications going off left and right in most videos. Looks like he just took and nap and started streaming.
