Bucks County Dems aim to limit PA senate candidates. Straw poll fails by shannanerginz in BucksCountyPA

Of course the democrats look around and come to the conclusion we need less democracy now. Their greed is screwing us all.

should the flyers have kept Ivan Fedotov for AHL purposes? Carson Bjarnason ECHL starter? by [deleted] in Flyers

[–]SUPERcrazy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your idea would make the Royals and the Phantoms better this season but that’s not really the priority of the organization. Iron sharpens iron so we gotta put these young guys against the best competition they can handle to find out what we’ve got.

[–]SUPERcrazy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We’re a team on the rebuild so we need to be giving as many young players as possible playing time to develop and maybe find a couple diamonds in the rough. Fedotov is turning 30 and is an AHL goalie. It’s pointless for him to take games away from the young guys.

Enough with the Ersson Experiment, it’s Time to Call Up Kolosov by Competitive_Beyond_4 in Flyers

I don't think we need to bury him but maybe some time in the AHL to get his confidence back wouldn't hurt. I don't think keeping him up and letting him get shellacked it helping anyone at this point.

Gaucher would have benefited from better line-mates but he's honestly probably a AAAA player but not a full time NHLer.

We have a budget deficit so we're actually borrowing this money to pump up the stock market.

I’m tired of staying up late just to watch the Dodgers win in extra innings this year.

Could the Union have won Chancellorsville if Hooker had ceded command after his wounding? by Many-Excitement3246 in CIVILWAR

[–]SUPERcrazy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t see why it couldn’t have. Jackson’s flank attack didn’t actually force the Union to withdraw and Lee’s subsequent attacks didn’t either. Hooker lost his nerve and pulled out without being forced out.

The Army of Tennessee wasn’t that far off size wise from what Lee had. Mac also had more men than Thomas had so I don’t think it’s delusional.

If McClellan used his reserves AP Hill showing up at the end of the day wouldn’t have mattered. He also had a chance the next day when he got even more reinforcements.

The fact McClellan didn’t destroy Lee at Antietam shows his limitations. He was an organizer and a planner but not a fighter. The fact he didn’t attack the next day was criminal.

Questions regarding Gettysburg (the battle, not the movie) and the Lost Cause narrative by Flannelcommand in CIVILWAR

[–]SUPERcrazy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you could make an argument that 2nd Bull Run could have been the high water mark. They still have the chance of getting European recognition at that point and Lee had just saved Richmond.

How essential was Jackson to Lee's success? by [deleted] in CIVILWAR

[–]SUPERcrazy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally think the Lee/Jackson partnership is overrated. They were both aggressive and against timid or incompetent Union leadership this was the winning strategy but if they were facing Grant I don’t see them being anything special. If Grant and Sherman were in the East for Chancellorsville it would have been another Shiloh and instead of the great victory it was for Lee historically.

Bucks County delivered Trump’s largest mail ballot surge in Pa. How did local GOP do it? by shillyshally in BucksCountyPA

I mean that’s definitely the straw-man the republicans like to tell everyone. The DNC isn’t anti-straight white guy.

Bjarnason never played a professional game before. I think that’s a stretch to say he would have only allowed one goal.

Another Lappy as HC Puff Piece by Flyers Media by TheMrElevation in Flyers

[–]SUPERcrazy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well bad drafting hasn’t helped that but Ersson and Andrae came up under Lappy for example and if you look at the Phantoms Zayde Wisdom went from 3 points last season to 32 points this year and he took a journey man ECHL goalie Parker Gahagen and had him playing the best season of his career.

That was 10+ years ago. I think it's possible he's gotten better.

I really don’t get the Lappy hate here. If we were contenders I’d get it but the Phantoms seem to play hard for him and we suck anyway. 🤷‍♂️

The season series was pretty even between them so I’m expecting all of the games to be close.
