@Jah_feel_me @thechosenberg Order first then make the small talk while paying. If you made it to the front of the queue, there should be a reason you are there other than starting a conversation.
@WanderingBear86@charlieo_conn The big one will be longevity and health. Big guys in goal are gonna wear down eventually due to the nature of playing goalie. Ben Bishop was one of the best in the game until he got hurt, and then wasn't the same after.
@ry_wat@dsilver88 Because taking a cold goalie off the bench, hours after warmup, probably isn't going to give you the best chance to win.
I recall a game against the Thrashers in 2006 where Lehtonen got put in for the shootout over Hedberg. It was a rare shootout win for the Flyers.
@JeffPunnybone@GMurphPhils It's 3. With the D-Backs loss last night, our magic numbers fell to 3 to make it/4 to clinch the 4 seed.
So now the magic numbers are 2/3 respectively
@Marinedad67@MorningBruJandR@AndrewRaycroft@BJaffe I mean, Orr and Bourque are a pretty clear cut 1 & 2. But other than Esposito, who some may make as a toss up against Bergeron, I don't know who else would be in front of him. Easy Top 5 with Top 3 potential.
@StoolBaseball I've always liked the read that if you can't tell the story of a sport without a player, they belong in the Hall of Fame.
The story of baseball in the 2020s won't be able to be told without talking about Ohtani. He's pretty much already there.
@DigitalSamIAm@dsilver88 CBJ was wrecked by injuries this year. I expect them to bounce back. Unless Elvis has just entirely cratered, they'll probably be on the bubble
