@conez2415 @JackFritzWIP Ah yes being 4-2 in last 6 overrides being .500 team all season

We know they will win a fair bit in postseason solely due to starting pitching

But lack of hitting is what has caused their demise every season and now this year its the worst its ever been

No hitting = Nowhere

[Jeff Singletary @JeffSi5000]

@Just_Clinton @brfootball Thiagos transfer wasnt this year?

[Jeff Singletary @JeffSi5000]

@ryanwhitney6 @wakeupbarstool @BizNasty2point0 @stoolpresidente Thinking Anaheim was very good and a cup pic over them when they had a -15 goal differential during season was insane

VGK has top 3 lineup in league, built for playoffs, only hole was goalie

- Flyers fan who hates Gauthier and put money on VGK to win cup when Cassidy got fired

[Jeff Singletary @JeffSi5000]

@AemiliusCs @MikeBartner Yeah for smaller hockey nations its very legit and a HUGE achievement

Norway didnt have any NHLers and they just beat a Canadien team that had Crosby, Celebrini, Scheifele, Thomas, Vilardi, O'Reilly, Tavares, Holloway etc.

Awesome achievement

[Jeff Singletary @JeffSi5000]

@Darth2G @MikeBartner You had a top 9 of Celebrini, Crosby, Scheifele, Thomas (all PPG+ star top liners) Vilardi, O'Reilly, Tavares, Holloway, Martone/Cozens.

Losing to Norway with zero NHLers lmao

[Jeff Singletary @JeffSi5000]

@billsmafia88818 @MikeBartner You still had a bunch of stars

Norway didnt have a single NHLer and CAN had Celebrini, Crosby, Scheifele, Thomas, Vilardi, O'Reilly, Tavares, Holloway, Martone, Cozens

All of those guys are good top 6 NHLers and half are PPG+ star top liners

[Jeff Singletary @JeffSi5000]

@billsmafia88818 @imGriffM @MikeBartner Norway didnt have a single NHL player on their roster

CAN had Celebrini, Crosby, Scheifele, Thomas, O'Reilly, Tavares, Vilardi, Holloway, Martone, Cozens ...

@BroCenter1 @DovySimuMMA Ilia has tree trunk legs. You have the opposite.

@BleedOrangeBla1 @TheLibertyYell @BeeTEE15 Who said quitting?

The person was claiming it was wrong to say he didnt meet expectations this season.

He 10000000% fell short of preseason expectations for this past year

Ice time or not, which was largely due to his flaws, his season fell way short

[Jeff Singletary @JeffSi5000]

@TheLibertyYell @BeeTEE15 I was saying he was expected by everybody to at least score 70+ pt rate (TKs rate) coming into season so 51 pts was unequivocally below expectations

Claiming he didnt underperform expectations 4 this past season is crazy

Many were thinking PPG and he hit 50 w/ many issues

[Jeff Singletary @JeffSi5000]

@TheLibertyYell @BeeTEE15 TK was still significantly above Michkov in scoring per TOI

Theres a reason Michkov had so little ice time

He came in out of shape and is such a liability off the puck that he became unplayable in the playoffs

Overall season was definitely below expectations

[Jeff Singletary @JeffSi5000]

@R0Y_D0NK @spittinchiclets Having just two 70+ pt seasons and sub 800 pts would rightfully make most people think hes not a HoFer

Right now he has the Hart and no other boxes

He would need the conn smythe + 900+ pts 2 have a chance and it would take many tries

Hes had 1 yr where he was a top 10 forward.

[Jeff Singletary @JeffSi5000]

@Iwan75133178 @arielhelwani Im sure some are claiming its incorrect to do it but many are just pointing to that as one of many reasons it was a terrible stoppage

Bell rings, Verhoven is 100% fine, then Usyk throws extra after bell shots that dont even land clean and THEN the ref steps in

Just brutal

[Jeff Singletary @JeffSi5000]

@brendolittt @MikeBartner Yeah Byfield was definitely higher regarded than Patrick

Hes overrating Patrick a lot b/c he was viewed as 1st pick before his draft year but his stock fell a lot by during draft yr and was only a projected 2C that would go 3-5th in most drafts

[Jeff Singletary @JeffSi5000]

@MikeBartner I think u r overrating Patrick here

By the time the draft came his stock had fallen a good amount and was only a projected 2C

I remember seeing rankings comparing him vs other recent top picks and was below all of them

A guy like Svechnikov was a better prospect at the draft

[Jeff Singletary @JeffSi5000]

@sbellman523 @MikeBartner If anything hes high

He was definitely not as hyped as any of the 6 guys ahead of him

Its not about how good they are now.

[Jeff Singletary @JeffSi5000]

@mumpquant @MikeBartner Because its a list based on how they were rated as prospects at the draft ...

Has nothing to do with how they have been in NHL

[Jeff Singletary @JeffSi5000]

@gary70789225 @MikeBartner Try reading it again. Its just how they were rated as prospects coming into NHL ...

[Jeff Singletary @JeffSi5000]

@rickeysticks80 @FlyersNation Richards was a 4th liner who had to get bought out after getting caught with pills at the border just a few yrs after the trade

It was definitely smart to trade him. He became a negative asset in like 2 yrs and we got great return.

Flyers were no longer a contender w/o Pronger
