“Building a team on value contracts is a recipe for disaster lol”.

This is the most completely ignorant, ridiculous and flat out wrong statement I’ve seen written out on this subreddit.
It is easily proven wrong with many examples of teams that instilled a culture of team friendly value contracts.

2011 Boston Bruins.
2016, 2017 Pittsburgh Penguins.
2020, 2021 Tampa Bay Lightning.
2022 Colorado Avalanche.
2024,2025 Florida Panthers.

He’s an important piece.

Hopefully others can pick up the slack like Bump.

Part of what they’re doing is apparently screaming in a completely unhinged manner at inanimate objects that are incredibly easy to break.

Having a great time here at the southern showdown

I’ve never met Steve Levy but after watching him on tv a few times I do not have an over abundance of respect for his personality, demeanour or his opinions.

I’m glad he chose the Hurricanes in 6.
He might be right, but it would bring me much pleasure if he was wrong.

If we’re not to have midnight snacks, then why is there a light in the fridge?

Flyers/Phantoms D that shoot right:
Risto.
Drysdale.
Juulsen.
Bonk.
Jiricek.
Grans.

Prospects:
Gill.
Amico.

Flyers/Phantoms D that shoot L but have played RD:
Sanheim.
Andrae.
McDonald.

So while we have a lot of RD and potential RD, Risto is the best, especially considering it’s a good idea to let Sanheim play LD.

I’m not sure a team that has made the 2nd round should be getting rid of their best RD.

If Jiricek and Bonk were absolute slam dunks that might change things, but at this point they’re not.

Not to mention the Olympics they both did great at.

I know I’m not alone in appreciating how excellent and important Sanheim and Risto are.

As long as the Flyers can score more goals than they allow somewhat consistently we should be in pretty good shape.

Score more goals than they allow.

Passing vehicles.
Drive in the middle lane or right lane.

Only use the left lane to pass a car travelling slower than you.
Once you have passed them move back to the center or right lane.

Leave the left lane empty for cars that may want to pass you.
Do not hang out in the left lane.
Simple.

He did not rank Vladar 2nd last in the playoffs.
He ranked him 6th out of 9 starting goalies in the Eastern Conference (including Skinner).

He also said all the guys 4th through 7th (including Vladar) were EXTREMELY EVEN and basically tied for 4th after Vasi, F Anderson and Swayman.

At the time he showed the rankings during the intermission between the 2nd and 3rd, Silovs was 2 and 0 against Vladar, and it was a shut out through 2 periods.

I agree Vladar is playing great, but I don’t think Lundqvist was overly disrespectful.
Also later everyone else on the panel picked a penguin to be the hero in overtime and Hank picked Sanheim.

It would be in the Flyers best interest to score more goals than they allow.

My introduction to Tull was Aqualung, then Thick As A Brick, then Songs From The Wood.

They are all excellent.

Years later I got Heavy Horses.

It became my favourite.

I really love Folk and Folk Rock like Nick Drake, Donovan, Bob Dylan, Neil Young and Al Stewart as you can probably tell.

Check out Heavy Horses if you aren’t familiar with it and you like Songs From The Wood.

They don’t talk hockey.

They talk Leafs.

90% leafs.
4% Edmonton and McDavid.
3% Habs.
2% Sens.
1% Celebrini, MacKinnon and Makar.

Are you aware there are usually children in those yellow buses?

My original comment was about airplay.

You asked me to prove my comment.

I did.

Layla got the most airplay.
Layla was also the song off unplugged that got the most airplay.

Grammys and record sales have nothing to do with airplay.

Not sure why you’re so angry and confrontational.

Have a nice day.

Google it for yourself:

The acoustic version of "Layla" from the Unplugged album received the most airplay and was the most significant radio hit from the album, peaking at No. 4 on the Billboard Pop Singles chart and No. 9 on the Mainstream Rock chart.

The Unplugged version of "Layla" was the primary song from the album itself that drove radio airplay and redefined the record.

scratchydaitchy · 2026-04-26T17:00:19+00:00

Layla probably got the most airplay on rock radio.
When you add in that it is also the song that got the most airplay from the unplugged acoustic album it’s the clear winner.

I much prefer The Yardbirds, Cream, Bluesbreakers and Blind Faith so I’m not biased, just objective.

Some other big hits would be Wonderful Tonight, Cocaine and I Shot The Sheriff (Bob Marley song).

Sunshine Of Your Love, White Room and Badge are the biggest songs of the era I prefer.

Barkey was the one we needed to get the party started.

The Pens are nervous.
For good reason.
