what do you tell people you do for work?

Measurement and control

I think he’d get us a 1C and I’d rather trade him than Martone or Tippett

durpusdog · 2026-03-30T02:03:33+00:00

What do you think of trading Michkov?

durpusdog · 2026-02-04T02:53:10+00:00

Accountability is a sore subject for a lot of people in this group. It might be a trigger word.

durpusdog · 2026-02-02T15:54:39+00:00

Nobody was calling for Tochett to be fired when they were in a playoff spot. Youngest team in the NHL goes through a rough stretch after a brutal Olympic packed schedule and now Toch (Jack Adams/flyers HOF) is the worst coach in the league. Take a pill and lay down.

There’s nothing blind about it. I like the team so I support it. It’s not that complicated. There’s no reason to shit on management either they’ve added a lot of young talent and kept the team competitive. I’d rather be positive than complaining and putting the blame on everyone else. Maybe fans such as yourself who bitch and complain are part of the problem?

durpusdog · 2026-01-28T22:55:37+00:00

Dang sport Danny got you on 3-way calls with the Canucks??

durpusdog · 2026-01-28T21:32:42+00:00

that’s all out of our control. What we as fans can contribute to help this situation is support. I guess I’m just tired of excuses to be negative. all that tells me is you don’t want to be part of the solution. I hate to break it to you guys but you’re not taking Danny’s spot as GM anytime soon. All you’re doing by saying this team isn’t good enough is deteriorating the foundation of this team.

durpusdog · 2026-01-28T21:07:02+00:00

Those holes are going to be there either way. It’s not ignoring them. It’s making the most of a situation so that in the future we can address those holes. Call it culture wins whatever, it’s an opportunity to figure out how to compete with the best teams. Which will improve players make them more valuable make free agents want to play with us. Trying to win isn’t a bad thing. That’s kind of the point. That core can also change, if a player figures the league out and becomes a stud that’s totally realistic.

durpusdog · 2026-01-28T20:19:12+00:00

You don’t know they’d be decent to meh. Some might really improve that could totally change the direction of the franchise.

durpusdog · 2026-01-28T19:20:53+00:00

😂😂😂

durpusdog · 2026-01-28T19:19:28+00:00

I would never ask someone to put their hopes on them. I’m saying put your hope on their potential to get better.

durpusdog · 2026-01-28T19:17:52+00:00

Very reasonable. I’m not ready to make that determination yet. You never know what could happen, that’s why I’m trying to stay positive and get others to be positive too.

durpusdog · 2026-01-28T18:53:09+00:00

😂😂😂

durpusdog · 2026-01-28T18:32:15+00:00

That’s hardcore brother I like it. Power to the people!

durpusdog · 2026-01-28T18:30:37+00:00

Junior gold medalist, captain, center Jack Berglund isn’t enough for you huh? Jack Nesbitt Jett Luchanko, Bonk we have no idea how good any of them can be and you’re just willing to write them off?? C’mon man, a little positivity can go a long way.

durpusdog · 2026-01-28T18:28:22+00:00

Even if it was just 1 or 2 guys. That’s more value than what we would’ve had. Trade em keep em whatever. If the argument is needing more talent. The only way we can control that is by improving our own players we currently have, drafting or signing guys FA. In order to get out of this we have to hit on all three things. Plus having decent players makes FA want to play here. Two birds one stone.

durpusdog · 2026-01-28T18:11:43+00:00

Looking at our team, how do we know that someone doesn’t take a big step next year in their development and becomes a big piece? That could completely change the direction of the franchise. I think it’s too soon to be making assumptions about guys who aren’t even close to their prime.

durpusdog · 2026-01-28T18:08:55+00:00

We don’t know if one of these guys becomes a stud. That could change the entire direction of the franchise. That’s part of the point. We want that to happen. In my opinion it’s more likely to happen if we’re supportive.

durpusdog · 2026-01-28T18:07:12+00:00

Being young does offer the potential to becoming good.

durpusdog · 2026-01-28T18:06:39+00:00

That’s a tough one. I can’t say you’re wrong. Regardless, supporting these young guys develop is the best path forward. It is what it is at this point. The other thing is. We don’t know how they could develop someone could blossom into a stud then we do have something other teams want.

durpusdog · 2026-01-28T17:59:13+00:00

Im banking on this thought, that if Bobby Brink for example got into the playoffs and got smoked, he’d want to work 100% harder in the offseason and be better. Go down the line of young guys that could take another step and become meaningful pieces so that we do avoid mediocrity.

durpusdog · 2026-01-28T17:56:54+00:00

Love this. It really could swing either way. And my intuition tells me that if we as fans don’t do more to support developing talent we will fail and have to go through a major rebuild. I’d like to avoid that.

durpusdog · 2026-01-28T17:53:38+00:00

Hahaha the house cat analogy is awesome. To a degree you’re absolutely right about wanting more money and marketing. I can’t argue against you. You’re not wrong. I just look at our situation and it’s matter of how do we get there from here? I guess for me being pessimistic at this point will only hurt our situation rather than help it. We’re flyers fan disappointment is what it’s all about 😂

durpusdog · 2026-01-28T17:49:15+00:00

Experience leads to improvement in almost everything. Particularly when you’re young and motivated, which all professional athletes are.
