If you're gonna lie about his health tests, you have to at least make it vaguely plausible. The White House is claiming Trump is the same height and weight as DK Metcalf LOL

Another Leafs whipping boy gets run out of town, and immediately finds playoffs success in another city. You love to see it.

Some deeply misguided soul decided to make an enhanced edition of the thoroughly mediocre Jaws game for NES, so obviously I needed to play it immediately.

This is one of the most lopsided expected goal charts I've ever seen.

[Marc Naples @SuperScrub47]

Looked like a bad interference call to me. York didn't skate through crease, and Andersen noticeably jerked his right skate out to initiate contact and flop. Announcers missed it on replay.

Immediately leads to backbreaking goal for CAR...

Missing the puck drop of the first Flyers playoff game in 5 years to watch the last 2 minutes of garbage time of a 6-1 game in Dallas is a very off-putting way to begin NHL playoff coverage this year. 🫤

[Marc Naples @SuperScrub47]

The Flyers are on a nice run, but the playoffs remain very unlikely. Basically there are 6 teams for 2 spots;

-BOS +1 pt headstart
-NYI
-DET -1 at start
-OTT -2
-PHI -5
-WSH -6

Possible, but not likely the Flyers finish such a race in top 2.

You like NHL ’94?

Their early sports titles were a little clunky for my taste. But when ’94 came out, I think they really came into their own—both technically and artistically. The whole game has a crisp, clear gameplay feel, and a whole new sheen that gives matches a big boost.

What do you think of my new profile pic? @nhl94dotcom

@charlieo_conn It has happened several times this year I see Emil Andrae on the ice and for a split-second think he’s Darroll Powe.

@avappleyard @NHLFlyers 3rd pair defensive liability who’s on the top PP? I’d take that tbh

[Marc Naples @SuperScrub47]

I’m not really informed on what’s been going on with Jiricek the last 2 years, but as someone who wanted him over Gauthier at the 2022 draft, I think acquiring him is exciting. Still some big potential upside there, I hope

[Marc Naples @SuperScrub47]

@avappleyard I've long thought NHL standings should not read W-L-OTL, but W-L(loser points)

Under system 1 the Flyers are 22-12-8 with 619 win pct.

System 2 is much more accurate--22-20(8) for a win pct of 524.

CBJ is literally last place in the east right now but a '500' team

[Marc Naples @SuperScrub47]

@moist_fencewood @dsilver88 Agreed, I have no complaints his drafting. It's the trades and the way he quickly burned and wasted all that cap space Hextall patiently accrued.

Not only did the team get worse, but they had one of the highest cap hits in the league and were saddled with bad contracts after

@Super70sSports Gilad from 'Bodies in Motion' got more airtime on ESPN than Michael Jordan ever did.

@JonHaidt This is literally a Black Mirror episode.

[Marc Naples @SuperScrub47]

Also see, "I will end the Ukraine war on day 1", and "trade wars are good and easy to win."

Almost like he's a grossly ignorant narcissist whose ego is out of touch with reality.

Flyers stat of the day: Jamie Drysdale leads the team with a Corsi of 53.9%.

He is the only Flyer with a Corsi on the right side of 50% (the Flyers are dead last in NHL in shots/game).
