I submitted some articles to the Hockey Writers during the pandemic. What the hell else was I going to do... my job requires me to go places and film things...that wasn't happening. I didn't claim to be an insider or an analytics guru. My POV was that of a fan...I was told that they liked my samples and the humor I write with, but weren't looking for the everyman perspective. Which is precisely what Rob Couch's articles read like. He's probably an okay bloke. But never have I ever chuckled or learned something from his pieces so when I see the by-line I usually just pass. Not like there are sour grapes or anything That's actually pretty cool, @mojo1917, that you did that. To be clear: I have NOTHING against fan writers, or even ACTUAL journalists. But I DO revel in making fun of the obnoxious "I know everything, you DON'T" types, or the shameless self promoting types, who, when you actually get around to reading their "work", it is filled with self important stances, grammatical errors, obvious points, and poorly constructed paragraphs....all in the name of REAL news or scoops. (Yawn) At the end of the day, anyone who puts up something that really makes me think (whether I agree or not with their take), and has something that is easy on the eyes, is a GOOD writer. And that person doesn't need to have a degree in anything. Could just be a regular fan with a sharp eye for what is going on and knows how to convey that to the reader without being pompous. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Van Floatdyke -Coots - Konecny Cates - Hayes - Atkinson Ratcliffe - Frost - Tippett Deslaurier - Laughton - Brown MacEwen Provorov - DeAngelo Sanheim- Risto York - Braun Seeler Hart Sandstrom Sure certainly not going to beat much with it but it is the best cap wise and not to lose anyone off waivers. Fk me another year of Sanheim / Ristolagging… I’d rather see what Sanheim / Provorov can do. IIRC they played together last season but not often enough to judge the pairing. 2nd choice would be York / Provorov. Same deal, had some games together last year but not enough to learn anything. York isn’t a legit top-pair D-man and he may never become one but this is the year to find out. Ristolainen / DeAngelo can take the Dumb and Dumber slot.

Watching Risto receive a pass on his backhand? If you going to do that might as well put Risto and Braun together then... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm dreaming that JVR will be valuable in getting the Fletcherless Flyers to the cap floor when the new guy trades all the damaged 30 somethings for picks and prospects. I'm also dreaming that inflation goes back to zero and there is peace in the valley. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrittyForever Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Watching that Canada Slovakia blow out at the World Juniors. Tanking for Bedard is going to make some team really happy.

The only good thing about trading for Ellis I guess is that neither Nolan or Myers has done squat since being traded for him. Myers has 4 points and Patrick 7 since being shipped out. And Ellis has 5 and has played way less gamed. On a different note I do wonder if he will ever suit up again. As of now the Flyers still got duped...

GrittyForever Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Emil Andrea looked pretty good for team Sweden today at the WJC. Sweden plays pretty uninspired hockey but he was definitely one of the few who gave effort and made an impact. Potential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
