Yeah, didn't bother trying to figure out their injury situation for a reason.

You totally should bother.

It’s a fun little exercise to see if the Avs do or do not have depth which is the great mystery of our lifetime.

Would be a real shame if the team with no depth being without four top six forwards and two top four defensemen embarrassed the “not terrible” Flyers.

I did take a look-see at their forwards stats, and it was really funny to see that "Terrible Awful Miserable Newhook" is...not that bad actually

The last time Cale Makar was in town:

 

[deadhead]

Well, it does help to have McKinnon, Makar and Toews healthy, and a hot goaltender.

It's like the Pens where they could stick Sheary with Crosby and watch him score 20 goals, but the NHL finally figured it out and he could only garner a 4th when they traded him.

The last time Cale Makar was in town:

Fletcher passed on him.

 

[BiggE]

Still a better roster than ours. Just having MacKinnon and Makar puts them light years ahead of our shitshow

The fact Couturier and Atkinson are both on the ice for that is perfection.

Thank you for not mentioning the guy who was hanging on the net.

The last time Cale Makar was in town:

Was Dec 2021 before Clarke decided the Flyers secretly wanted him? Or was this game the cause of that.

Clarke’s podcast was released on 1/11/22. Do what you want with that information.

That game was also the night where it was declared that the Avs were an easy first round out. Luckily they went on to acquire Manson and they righted the ship.

 

[usahockey22flyers]

The tank will keep on rollin tonight

 

[Magua]

Fletcher passed on him.

Boy, have I got some stuff to show you about Chuck Fletcher's drafting.

Tangentially, if you think finishing 13th worst and drafting a player who busted because of brain issues is crippling, thoughts on finishing 13th worst and trading the 13th pick, two ~36th overall 2nds, and spending $25 million on one of the worst players in the league?

 

[tictactoe]

going to be a treat, like always.

 

[Rich Nixon]

One year anniversary of Vigneault getting fired!

Last Flyers game I went to (tickets were free) was the day after against these Avalanche. Frost and Giroux had some good chemistry on the first PP goal. Then they allowed 4 straight.

Good times!!!!!!!

First line center Nick Cates

I hope Makar gets a hatty

 

[Ironmanrulez]

This TV Crew is soooo cringe. They arent funny, they arent entertaining. They arent informing. They are not even beautiful!

Bottom of the league crew!

A shame i loved Hartnell to death! Hate him now!
