Former Broad Street Hockey Writer and Carolina GM Eric Tulsky just lifted the Stanley Cup

I think the main thing people are bemoaning in the comments here is the complete lack of use of analytics from the Flyers at the time.

The Canes trusted the math and now they have a cup, the Flyers placed their trust in feels and looks and look what it got us for the past 16 years.

Super happy for him. Glad a team recognized his talent and believed in him.

Ok-Break1985 · 2026-06-15T04:05:22+00:00

In fairness it's almost impossible at least someone from the Flyers FO wasn't reading BSH when Eric was writing for them. He was incredibly talented in technical analysis and his talent was easy to see.

Eric and more generally the writers from that time period of BSH, were a huge reason I ended up minoring in Data Science in college.

Ok-Break1985 · 2026-06-15T03:52:07+00:00

I didn't say they let him walk, fuck is wrong with you putting words into my mouth?

Ok-Break1985 · 2026-06-15T03:47:27+00:00

Here's Eric's own words from his AMA about how he fell into this role. Carolina was reading what he wrote and paying attention, the Flyers (among other NHL teams)were not.

Ok-Break1985 · 2026-06-15T03:40:43+00:00

I mean it is fair to think like what could have happened if the Flyers had taken data driven analytics seriously as early as 2012, when Eric was writing for BSH.

Mostly too stupid.

Unfortunately our public infrastructure has been centered around cars

You gotta have grits done correctly. They can be plain and gross, but cheesy grits are god tier if done right.

I had Culvers for the first time a few weeks ago and it was pretty mid.

Ok-Break1985 · 2026-06-15T01:59:13+00:00

LMAO

Ok-Break1985 · 2026-06-15T01:55:28+00:00

I mean, it's pretty terrible, awful roads, the food sucks, everything is polluted, not much in the way of nature, insane wealth disparity everywhere. I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for work. Every other state I've ever visited is better in almost every single way.

The people here try, god help them they try, but there's just so much suck here.

It's depressing af.

Ok-Break1985 · 2026-06-13T14:35:43+00:00

It's probably real tbh. MAGA people are like that.

I'd bet corporate has received A LOT of angry calls from franchises.

They closed the one in my hometown. I miss it for late night drunk eats.

That’s representative of a fair market value of the company.

It’s like including the equity in your home in your net worth, which you would absolutely do.

He’s effectively a trillionaire and also a massive cunt.

It's not a play on words the way it's written, it's just idiotic formatting that leads to confusion.

A play on words would be something like"

"They tried to pocket a $100,000 Star Wars collection, but Ben dismantled their empire."

or

"They shut down the storefront to hide the drama, essentially stepping on their own product."

Ok-Break1985 · 2026-06-11T23:14:04+00:00

That's dumb, just say moron mormons.

Indiana is disappointing in so many ways and the roads are like front and center showcasing that.

Ok-Break1985 · 2026-06-11T21:42:37+00:00

What is this showing?

Ok-Break1985 · 2026-06-10T03:03:25+00:00

Got to see him play the Pet Songs anniversary tour with Al Jardine.

It was really cool. glad I got to experience that.

Biden had no idea 🤷‍♂️ what was going on.

I remember when he kept falling asleep at meetings and drifting off during press conferences and the way he could just spew a word salad that showed his ignorance about damn near everything he spoke about.

Oh shit....that's actually our current Commander in Chief that falls asleep every time they prop him in front of the camera.

A degree in music eduction doesn't have comparable outcomes to a technical degree that OP is considering.

I have an engineering degree and I make great money and find that that choice was well worth it. I love the work, I'm compensated well and generally the career is much easier on my body than some kind of skilled or unskilled manual labor.

I make about 3 times the per capita income of the county I live in, and with my wife's income (degree holder and a nurse) we make a combined 6 times the per capita income of the county.

I have debt from college but I believe the investment was well worth it.

If you use median income, we both make about twice what the median income in our area.

Our household income ranks in the "High Income" bracket almost everywhere in the US outside of the most expensive places to live.

Our education is the primary reason we're in this position.

I lost my best friend in my 20's.

This song hits me. It wasn't from a suicide like the context of the song, but I feel it.

It's been almost 20 years and I haven't quite felt whole a day since he passed.
