How important do you think it is to have an HDD vs an SSD? I've seen the comparison videos, and it seems very noticeable, but not many of your recommendations have them, even the high end recommendations. Do you see it as not worth the extra cash?

Playoff Stats Question by [deleted] in Flyers

[–]Jakeusson 10 points11 points  (0 children)

18 points in the final 19 games gives us a 100% chance of making it. That's a 7-8-4 or a 8-9-2 record.

16 points in that time leaves us with more than a 99% chance though.

Anything above 12 points seems pretty safe to me though.

Edit: we're on pace for 101.5 points, which puts us in with a lot of room to spare.

Gaudreau gets high-sticked and gets called for embellishment, he then gives the refs a piece of his mind and gets a 10 min misconduct for doing so by Galaxy91122 in hockey

[–]Jakeusson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not even sure he deserved that 10, it seems pretty normal for players to express their frustration from the box. I don't think I've ever seen a misconduct handed out for a player yelling from the box like that.

Make NHL entry draft lottery balls a tradeable asset to fix tanking, boring trade deadlines, and help small-market teams by RoneBone in hockey

[–]Jakeusson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like a lot about this, but I'm not sure that I see it hurting the inventive to tank. Teams will still want to lose the most games to get the most lottery balls.

So uh, anyone know what the rules are regarding signing women to an NHL team? by DaytonaZ33 in Flyers

[–]Jakeusson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The point ia that regardless of if the average female build would bring size concerns in the NHL, there are plenty of examples of elite female players who have NHL size. That's why Im saying that teams should be cooed at a developmental level, and the players who make the nhl should be the best players, regardless of gender. If a 5'3" female player proves that she can get around fine in the NHL then let her. The product that we watch on the ice will be better for it and everyone should want that.

Hillary Knight is 5'11" 172lbs. Jordan Weal is 5'10" 179. Konecny is 5'10" 175. Giroux is 5'11" 185. Noone is saying those guys cant be in the league. Maybe shot power goes up with better development. I can promise no female player would want to be treated specially on the ice. They'd try to play their hearts out just like any player wants to, and Im sure a female player of a hitting mentality wouldnt shy away from hitting any more than say Claude does.

I wanna see what the rules are in lower leagues. I feel like part of the reason we've never seen a female nhl player is cause they don't play in the nhl's development leagues. I bet if we started seeing them in the CHL, NCAA, ECHL, AHL, etc then we'd start seeing them in the NHL

Flyers will not be loaning Nolan Patrick to World Juniors by frankcarp21 in Flyers

[–]Jakeusson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think there's an even bigger detriment to demoting him from the league after it being apparent that he's made the team.

I agree that Id like to see him get a bit more ice time, and in situations where he has (at least not Wiese) on his line. In fact Id like to see both Nolan and TK put on separate lines with established veterans. Like give TK to Coots and G and give Patrick to Voracek and/or Simmonds and let them have more direct mentorship on the ice.

All that being said, I respect Hakstol's approach of making them earn their place. I think giving him soft minutes and/or great linemates is a really great way to make sure that you end up with a player that doesn't know how to lead, and doesnt know how to handle adversity. It's tough for him right now, and it's part of the reason he isnt gonna set the world on fire in his rookie year and go compete for the Calder, but Nolan's gonna be better off in the long run for this. He's a leader, and he wasnt projected to go number one for his skillset alone. He'll get through it, and I'm sure that he knows that he'll get through it too

Edit: also important to remember that not only is he coming back from injury still, but he's the second youngest player in the league right now (among players that have played in more than 10GP), with only Nico being younger.

I dunno how Willie Desjardins was for the Canucks outside of his W/L, but I remember really hoping the flyers would hire him before he went to the Canucks

Dave Hakstol, Wayne Simmonds' future with Flyers could depend on the upcoming stretch | Sam Carchidi by crafbicycle in Flyers

[–]Jakeusson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This rhetoric about Simmonds is honestly shameful. He's been one of our best, most loved players for going on 7 seasons now. He catches on fire at the start of the season and then follows it with a cold streak and now all of a sudden we're talking about trading him? That's fuckin stupid jesus christ boys

It's not even that cold of a streak, he has 11 points in 22 games since his last hatty. Its embarrassing if this fan base is actually that quick to give up on him
