2019-20 Roster Thread XV: The thread with no name

[Qyburn]

Ain’t that the sad, sorry truth.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Also it’s a Saturday night in early September and we’re arguing in a hockey chat room.

Pretty much says it all

HC and I are here trying not to think about the backdoor Texas A&M cover. This is an upgrade on my mood 15 Minutes ago.

 

[Striiker]

HFB Flyers Civil War. Striiker is our Spider-man.

I don't know if this was meant as a compliment but I'm sure as shit taking it as one!

Current Spidey is great.

 

[Qyburn]

Current Spidey

I''m not sure how to ask this but.

Do you.... *ahem*

Do you actually still read comic books

 

[Qyburn]

maybe ummmmm uhhhhhh

a little developmental ummmmmmm that uhhhh

we hadn't. *gulp*

previously. um. prior til now. that is

 

[Jettany]

We're all guilty... together... as a big stupid family of idiots who all care too much about this damn team.

PS. that's my first "like" in 3+ months. lol

Yes indeed!

 

[Magua]

It’s a Tuesday morning in late January. You’re drunk.

 

[Jettany]

Yup but as of one hour ago, I'm free.

How do I get to like things? I use to be able to but 6 months ago that stopped.

Avoid making anyone want to *get* you.

There is no simple formula for this.

 

[bauer]

Do you see the hypocrisy here?

only people i see getting outraged are the ones who need to constantly complain about Braun, Fletcher, etc.

If you're going to try to use this to invalidate concerns/pessimism about the move then you also have to use it to invalidate praise/optimism.

how about we listen to the ones who have seen him play hundreds of games over those who haven't? sound good?

You missed my point.

Again, if you're saying that not seeing the results of these actions means people shouldn't be "negative" about them then you also can't be "positive" about them. If the unknown should stop people from having opinions, then it works both ways. You have to be consistent.

I agree that people should be optimistic about this season, but you were the one that said that having opinions about the moves before we see the result is wrong.

when did i ever say this? i'm just saying i don't get the constant negativity this early. never that an opinion is "wrong". you can say whatever you want. even if it makes no sense.

and as i said, no Hak is not an unknown. it is a major positive.

 

[bauer]

Nothing sums up the reasoning behind my current mindset regarding the team better than this. Its a ****ing huge deal for me lol.

same. can't wait for a season where i don't have to see that dumbass behind the bench every game.

 

[bauer]

I don't know if this was meant as a compliment but I'm sure as **** taking it as one!

Current Spidey is great.

it made sense cause you're probably the closest to his age.

 

[Striiker]

Again, this is being hypocritical, inaccurate, and accomplishes nothing but making conversations impossible.

There's no "outrage", there's no "constant negativity", or any of these other exaggerations. People dislike specific moves. That's all. The only reason it keeps getting talked about is because people keep trying to say that these concerns are invalid or make exaggerations like you are right here, which just starts the argument over again.

We have people in this fanbase who have watched Giroux play hundreds of games and still think he's a declining PP specialist and a bad captain.

Watching a lot of games doesn't guarantee anything.

when did i ever say this? i'm just saying i don't get the constant negativity this early. never that an opinion is "wrong". you can say whatever you want. even if it makes no sense.

You said people shouldn't complain about the moves because we haven't seen them play yet.

Right here:

there's no real reason why anyone should be complaining right now. we haven't played a game yet, not even in pre-season. we don't even know what the lines will be yet. .

 

[Flyerfan4life]

can the godam season just start already...

 

[BiggE]

It’s a Tuesday morning in late January. You’re drunk.

Hmmm, possible. Unlikely, but possible.

Right here:

 

[Striiker]

Nope. We’re gonna fight.

Meet me in the TGIFridays parking lot in 1 hour.

 

[bauer]

Meet me in the TGIFridays parking lot in 1 hour.

i'll be there.

 

[Starat327]

There wasn't a point at which Dave Hakstol was demonstrably the worst coach in the league. Nor was he ever a good coach and moving on was definitely the right call.

Do we have to go so overboard? Or doesn't that count as being negative since he's not a Flyer anymore?

As Magua said, Have no opinion, Jojo. Its safer. Be the sheep.
