Confirmed with Link: Flyers sign JR Avon to a three-year, entry-level contract (Sep. 22, 2021)

[DAVIDE1333]

Hey.....my mother, brother and sister-in-law worked for Avon in Newark, DE until they closed it down. Real nice place to work...worked there one summer as a part timer. The packers were friends of my mother, and would tease the crap out of me. I did have a crush on one lady.......I did get the nerve to ask her out in a stammering way, but she laughed and said, "you are too young and way too inexperienced for me"......I blushed like hell.......and my mother chastised me ........psychologically damaged my ego......;-))

I have enough Skin So Soft to last the rest of my life.....

I think there is a masterbation joke there somewhere.

Does he hustle perfumes, soaps and cosmetics on the side?

There used to be several 70s Avon commercials, that were mostly themed as so:



Some fans repurposed it as a then running gag (some found it funny then, now … not so much). It went like this:

Ding dong!
- Who’s calling?
- Avon!
- Avon who?
- Avon Cournoyer.

Man that 03 draft was great. So much talent came out of that one

Amazing year.

And the bottom of the draft had guys like Pavelski (7th round), Byfuglien (8th), Moulson (9th), and Halak (9th) .

He’s Steve Larmer’s stepson. If he can play like Larmer, the Flyers have a find.

Wholedraft classes of hyphenated kids should be showing up pretty quick.

You joke, but he's a heir to the Avon fortune........

AV will be happy to know this.... lifetime access to essential oils for his massages with Therrien....

Wait, this might be better than that football coach with the foot fetish!!!!!!

Lol. The name Avon has nothing to do with the founding members of the company. It is just a trademark they made up.

Steve Larmer was one of my faves....until he went to the Rangers.

The Heiress last I heard was having some prenup issues or something impacting the estate. Forget the founder's last name but yeah it wasn't Avon. I remember a Mary Kay saleswoman that came to our house and sold my mom stuff. She was smokin....but unlike Macleish I knew better not to ask her out at 13...

Scored a lot of goals with Larmer off of JR passes in NHL 94

How are you not rolling the Crazy 8s out there in NHL94??? Even with Rod the Bod on the bench (or second line if you do line changes which honestly no one ever did and if you said you played with line changes you are a liar). Tomy Soderstrom was a brick wall making up for the shit defense with Gary Galley and Dimitri Yuskevich.

JR was unstoppable in that game...

The Flyers aren't bad but my top 2 teams are actually the Canucks because of Bure and the Jets because of Selanne/Zhamnov/Housley.

When I was a kid it was always Flyers vs. Flames against my older brother, who I would be beating and then he would kick my ass (physically) to ensure he'd win.

It's not a popular opinion, but I think NHL 95 was a much better game. It was the first one where the players actually carried their sticks around normally when skating without the puck.

At the time I remember 95 blowing me away (I was 9 going on 10 years old) and enjoying it a lot more than 94. But through the lens of nostalgia there is just something about 94.

The official ranking is as follows:

1. 94
2. 98
3. 95
4. Everything else.
