This is a distinction that has been completely lost in the open source world. The freedom is in the information NOT the product.
There's nothing incongruous about paying for an open source product, we've just been mooching off the commons for a long time.
Honestly the theory that Chuck found the Holmgren's notes to Hextall about how to secretly sabotage the team as GM and thought they were for him would explain so much about Pennsylvania hockey over the last few years....
And I want to give a special shout out to @StephaliciousD for all her hard work keeping at all going the last two years for ALL of the SB Nation sites. Your effort was always noticed and appreciated.
I've been looking for the words to express what happened today at Vox and @BroadStHockey in particular that hasn't already been said. It's just a huge gaping hole where there used to be something very important, not just to Flyers fans but all hockey fans.
Sucks to see what has happened with @BroadStHockey today...
has been a cornerstone of @NHLFlyers hockey in a number of ways for as long as I remember. So many great writers+content creators, and everyone at its core is very talented and great people to boot. #Flyers#NHL
The team at BSH is directly responsible for me falling in love with hockey all over again. It was a pretty bleak decade but y'all made it a fun ride whether it was on Twitter or on the site.
Interested in the Fediverse? Still wanna talk #Flyers? I'm trying to get the conversation going on https://t.co/sjdfc4gonM if you're Philly affiliated and want to join in! You can find me at @[email protected]
Breaking my Twitter silence: I'm going to start unfollowing people here if I follow you in the Fediverse. My goal has been to leave here entirely but there's still a good bit of sports talk that only happens "on here." My new goal is to just be a passive Twitter consumer.
@J_Fahringer fair. But that's also why I say Lurie, he may not be Comcast but he's a billionaire who actually cares about his teams winning championships. That's the combo I would rather see than a dispassionate check writer. The Flyers need someone in ownership to be pissed off.
@AngryBeerDude@charlieo_conn JVR generally grades out pretty well by possession stats. He's above 54% Corsi and the team has scored more goals with him on the ice than they've given up. I don't have the truly fancy stats individual stats unfortunately but these are here:

24) World Cup. It is *the* defining event. We used to have watch parties for the traffic charts. The amount of traffic your site gets in one week is mind-blowing. It's in huge bursts. It tests *every* system you have to its limits. If one breaks, hope it doesn't cascade. It will.
