Just a reminder to everyone that the Caps just recently signed Tom Wilson to a to 7x6.5 contract extension that kicks in next season

There is no better team in history than October Flyers

I want to see how the Flyers look entering December before making any longer term judgements. I'm not entirely convinced this isn't solely the short term effects from being bag skated for 3 weeks

Slightly related, for some reason the WFC really started cracking down hard on bag size a couple of years ago. A couple of seasons ago (Alain Vignaeult's final game of all things) my wife got turned away bringing a small purse she had brought to games prior without any issue. We couldn't recall any recent scaremongering event that would've triggered it

Prime Drink Wiki posted:

Gordon Ramsay reviewed the drink on Heart radio, describing it as "like swallowing perfume", and giving it 0/10.

Prime Energy has been banned in New Zealand. The drink has also been banned in schools in many countries, including some in Australia, Canada, South Africa, the United Kingdom and the United States.

On July 9, 2023, Senator Chuck Schumer urged the US Food and Drug Administration to investigate Prime due to its high caffeine content, and that it uses unclear marketing that targets young people which leads to their parents purchasing a "cauldron of caffeine" for them.

Are the artists who paint the helmets employees of the league or at least of the team? You can tape your own stick but you can't really paint your own helmet. Could just stick a cancer ribbon decal on it I guess.
Independent contractors. I personally know a guy who has done chrome wire finishes for some Flyers goalies in recent years

Lots of people will say Kris Knoblauch lands in Edmonton because of Connor McDavid. But what is clear is #Oilers CEO Jeff Jackson has a big belief in Knoblauch.

As agent, many of Jackson’s clients played for Knoblauch: McDavid, Connor Brown, Alex DeBrincat, Taylor and Darren Raddysh, Travis Dermott and Ben Harpur.

Lindros didn't sign with Quebec because he didn't like the owner partly because during a pre-draft meeting he insulted Eric's mom in French while she was present, not knowing that she also spoke French. And he was clear about his feelings pre-draft

I know there were hints along the way (dodging development camp was a bit of a red flag) but it's kinda shocking in this day and age this all stayed quiet for so long. He was being quietly shopped for months.

I think the Flyers handled this about as well as they could have. I don't know what else they were supposed to do.

From what I've read the crux of the matter was Cutter wanted to play for the Flyers this year but Briere wanted to let him cook a little longer and it all fell apart to the point where Cutter was leaving the Flyers' messages on read.

shyduck
Oct 3, 2003


Fine he didn't wanna play here, whatever, it's done. But what I fail to understand is why he ghosted the team and refused to meet with Jones and Briere when they traveled to Sweden with that intent. It was handled poorly, and I'm sure the Flyers could've done things differently too.

I also genuinely think the "he was a Penguins fan growing up" thing is a factor.
IMO that's a pretty chickenshit reason to not play for a team that drafted you. You're no longer a fan, you're a professional. Sign later on as a free agent like everyone else does

ASF is known locally to stir a lot of poo poo and it's about time he got hammered. The website he works for now, Crossing Broad, is kinda like a Philly-centric proto-Barstool

I'm sure it was cathartic for Torts. But, like, he's been doing this head coach thing for a long time now. Does he not understand that it was exactly what the "reporter" wanted?
Maybe, but I don't think that's the case here. I think ASF flew too close to the sun. He does a podcast with Chris Therien and they had members of the front office on it fairly recently, they're not an unknown quantity. But now they're at risk of blowing that up, not in a good way.

And ASF has been a Flyers beat reporter for like 20 years, he's not an unknown in the Flyers extended universe. But he's pivoted to the sensationist side in recent years
