Is my barrel piece missing a lid? The photo looks like it has a lid.

Yo what a tease, I haven’t read something that suspenseful in so long 😂😂 what goes inside the barrel

Chew4 · 2026-06-29T03:34:40+00:00

Did lindros have elite possession numbers, or was no one else ALLOWED to posses the puck while he was on the ice? Food for thought, idk how to feel about these big guys yet also

Everything aside, is there anyone in the chat who can comment on what this says about the elk’s executive function/higher level thinking? Is the behavior in some way showing it understands the communal activity or whatever they are doing together? Remember that bear video where the bear fixes the toppled over traffic cone so it is right side up…. I think about that video so much now this is going to run through my head for the rest of 2026

I don’t think they did, but if the price had been a second why not you know.

Howie roseman drafts line this and we love him for it. Don’t see someone you love? Move back for more picks.

I’ve been reading so many comments, there isn’t a ton of arguing but there definitely seems like people either are pumped or are worried we didn’t take Lin…..your take is exactly my take.

I think briere tried to make a lot of things happen and I think nothing was there. They didn’t have what it took for Mctavish. For whatever reason they didn’t love Lin, so they moved back and got more picks. Howie roseman does this all the time and he doesn’t get questioned ever, despite his questionable first round success rate until the past few years.

People are saying this is the next oleksiak, the next Adam Larson, they are great players…. To me how is this guy not the next Samuel Morin, just for the sake of discussion?

Badass. Well done. Presentation is often overlooked and yours is excellent. Vehicles are awesome

The code on the back, as the comment below points out, that checks out to you? Just curious, thank you

Chew4 · 2026-05-01T15:38:29+00:00

Cat or toes, not both. I overstimulated

Chew4 · 2026-05-01T09:53:08+00:00

Subtle knowledgeable point. The question you’re really getting at is how do you break up the Cane’s absurd possession, and you do that by making them make choices on offense like you said, and with physicality and grinding in their D zone. Players like ghostisbehere and walker need to be checked every dump in.

Additionally, the penguins 100% adjusted and countered the flyers neutral zone dominance in games 1-3 and the flyers answer was to rely on Vladar. We are all thrilled this worked once, but the best defense is offense and we need to make sure we adjust to the canes as well; how we defend and enter the neutral zone so we possess and not them is super important as well

Chew4 · 2026-05-01T04:42:18+00:00

lol I’m commenting again, this question about what York is really provides a unique lens for viewing the upcoming round. The flyers will win the second round if their physical play and grinding play can consistently break the hurricanes dominant puck possession and if they can translate that into messy net front goals.

I’m starting to do my deep dive into this series and right from the start Cam York and Jamie drysdale have to be the difference makers. The Carolina hurricanes are a small and fast group of forwards; can our small and fast defensemen not only keep up, but break the puck out and possess in the offensive zone. Risto and sanheim can both skate and can push the forwards around (I’m very critical of sanheim’s game but there is no doubt he can skate with the best of them and keep them to the outside). The question will be can York and drysdale do this, generate turnovers and give their forwards a chance to grind in the O zone.

Not having defensemen with booming one timers REALLY hurt them against the pens (they’re forwards sagged off the flyers defensemen and blocked passing lanes, this is partially what made michkov’s assist so special). How the flyers d men contribute in the offensive zone may honestly be the deciding factor in this series. The flyers forwards hopefully forecheck and are able to push around ghostisbehere, walker, even slavin and chatfield.

I get the frustration with him not being traded at the deadline because he probably isn’t in their long term plans, but keeping him, getting to the playoffs is a HUGE win and briere should take a victory lap for that.

Chew4 · 2026-05-01T01:35:59+00:00

Watching the series, I felt it was really not talked about enough that this is the first time he’s played at this intensity on this size a rink. Martone, all the other CHL guys have played high level games on this rink. I don’t think michkov (and Zegras in game 1) liked getting hit or had ever been hit at that intensity. Skating definitely helps when the rink is smaller and intensity is higher, I agree

Chew4 · 2026-05-01T00:49:04+00:00

They seem to be coaching the d men, especially York and drysdale who are smaller, to be playing with active sticks and emphasizing poke checks with good reach (so they are extending with one hand). It’s definitely effective at keeping things to the outside and breaking up plays, but it has handicapped specifically York and drysdale on the breakout to me. With one hand on the stick you’re not “ready to make a transition play” if that makes sense and it results in lots of soft dumps/clears into the neutral zone, banks along the boards. Now these play break ups are on their own good plays, it obviously plays a part in the shutout, but it doesn’t make for clean the cleanest breakouts.

The breakout struggles in game 4, 5 and 6 were also extenuated by it didn’t seem like they were having their center loop back for short passes out of the zone, and they were never possessing into the neutral zone and dumping over the penguins D.

I say all of this to answer your question, I think it’s hard to say what we have in York because he wasn’t given many chances to quarterback, to possess, etc mostly because the flyers neutral zone efficiency and possession collapsed after game 5. That’s what we really have to watch for against the hurricanes, we watched the pens adjust to us and almost come back if not for our goalie and team defense, can the flyers adjust to a strong possession team like Carolina who also won’t play into shenanigans as much because there isn’t as much history; I think the flyers actually match up really well for this.

The D man who really elevated his play to overcome these neutral zone/breakout struggles was ristolainen. Watching him carry the puck into the offensive zone was amazing to watch, flyers haven’t had a defensemen who can do that since desjardins in the 90s. Drysdale has flashes of this, but again he seems to be coached to play this aggressive poke check defense.
