I've been watching for the last two days as everyone has flipped out and lost their minds.
Before i saw coots' comments, i was expecting something real spicy. Then i watched the video like….. that was it?? This is causing the big fuss?
These guys might have literally melted in the Lindros era
Honestly makes me proud of the org to hear they've never tried to push you to toe the line. I know you haven't bc when things were directionless, you said as much. It pisses me off that people think you're a team shill, but they're either new or delusional. We've picked up a lot of new fans that are Mich fans who root for his success even at the detriment of the team's success. I welcome them, but they should also realize (as you've said) tough love and hard lessons are how a player grows..
The way Jason's hypothetical goalie statement at the beginning was lowkey the same thing Dustin Wolf was being quoted out of context on over in Calgary earlier in the season. Anyways loved the Briere interview, love that he ALSO got too excited about them being good and then was dealt 200 swords to the heart over them losing to Calgary like the rest of us.
Oilers started even worse last yr
That cheating term I hear all the time on more than just our team. I don't understand its just a term.
I feel like most fans and commenters don’t know hockey…. Very egocentric expectations. Like I scratch my head at them. That mixed with toxic media creates these nothingburgers
Kevin Kurz is a team mouth piece.
McDave better put on a show on Wednesday night.
Well said Jason! The camera just happened to catch Couts shake his head there..a very minor and subtle reaction to that particular move by Couts because of Michs move laterally at the line…it's like naysayers know the room lol..that's hockey and this team will be stronger because of Couts..he's had his share of BS and I give him credit for calling out mm. Their great friends and teammates and Couts wants mm and the team to succeed just as much as the rest of us do. Awesome interview with Danny! Thank you for making the muddy water clear again Jason. God bless! 🙏👍.
Vladar is as good of a move by Danny as Zegras was in his short time so far as GM. Players WILL want to come to Philly again. Look out in 2-3 years. First class organization.
Emailer says he's tired of the "lunch pale and "work boots" mentality
The Florida Panthers are the definition of that😂😂😂
True jason, context matters. We can only hope that coots is a captain to everyone, not just the young guys. I just somehow doubt it….. but dont mind me.
I urge people to stop being so soft
I went searching for what Coots said and found nothing controversial. Are people flipping out about his post-game answer when they asked about Michkov and how the team was supporting him? That was nothing. "Cheat" isn't a disparaging term in this context. I'm baffled. Truly a case of trying to make something out of nothing.
lol anyone that has played no matter what level knows that players are constantly talking and chirping at their own teammates. It happens at your local ball hockey rink now imagine the professional level were you have some of the most competitive men on earth?
What would Jet Lutchenko be doing on the team if he wasn’t sent down? With the Coots and Forester injuries would he have been given more to do or would he be flip flop scratched with Abols?
I believe you have never been "told" what to talk about. I also sincerely wish you well with your "off ice" medical stuff. The one thing I would say that may be negative, is you have a very one sided take, along with most of the co-hosts, interviewees. By that I mean not fully one sided, but you are a "glass is 3/4 full" perspective. Thats understandable given positivity is great to promote, but I feel like a pessimist perspective on occasion would provide some more balance. Just my thoughts, staying "Glass 3/4 full" doesnt hurt anything, but maybe an occasion "heel" interview would be intriguing?
The questions you are answering in this video show why I don’t understand this fanbase. Im a Flyers fan in Georgia and was a Thrashers fan. I came from a fanbase that made one playoff appearance in 11 seasons and got swept in it. The pessimism of this fanbase to the point of pushing fake narratives just to have a complaint is mind boggling to me. I’m not saying this team is perfect but we can’t act like the sky is falling over small things or untrue narratives
I was sitting in my recliner and said “come on Michkov get in the zone first” you know why….. I played the game!!! Of course you’re gonna give the puck carrier an earful every time
Nice interview, wish you would’ve snuck in one last question : “ Danny, so what do you think about Porter Martone’s early NCAA season?”
