Hey, hey, hey, what's that noise? We can buckle with the boys Hey, hey, hey, what's that noise? We can buckle with the boys Hey, hey, hey, what's that sound? Wacky's buying another round Hey, hey, hey, I'm getting around We're gonna ruin this fucking town Hey, hey, hey, oh my god We're taking shots We're getting popular Get sloshed out of the woods and these kids Hello, and welcome back to Noa Robot It's me, Noah, with me as always is Dan Say hello to the beautiful people of Dan Hi The trade did last night Will he or won't he go? Daly, Rosas and his Bristol line-in did not go

He, in fact, his day with the flyers Did not get, Danny did not get what he was asking for Apparently Quote, unquote Quote, unquote Brink though Brink Get straight to Minnesota for David Yurichek What an experience I was at that Phantom's game on a Saturday I was seeing the highlights and I'm like What the fuck? This guy's perfect for the flyers He scored an absolute laser from the point He fell down in open ice, which led directly to a goal against He cross-checked his own guy multiple times in his scrum along the wall And he moves like a newborn giraffe on skates He's like if Phil Myers fucked Sam Moran And their bastard child was out there trying to play hockey right now I have never loved a guy more in my life than David Yurichek attempting to play hockey

You know, I was watching him skating And it almost kind of reminded me a little bit like He said a little baby giraffe on state skates It did kind of remind me of Matthew Rampay Like he's not skating When people say like you're a bad skater And like these are professional hockey players Yeah, they may not all be figure skaters They may not all be super fast, but generally speaking they're fine And then every once in a while these people come along Where I'm like how the fuck are you playing professional hockey right now And Yurichek is one of them Holy shit, he's such a weirdly built cumbersome fellow God, what a guy And then he got... Like he said, he scores the power play game tying goal And that he doesn't play the next day Because he goes back to Iowa to get his stuff from his apartment Yeah, they were in Springfield for a game So they were on the road So we went from Springfield to Lehigh Valley for a day Played and then went back to

To go get a shit and then come back to Lehigh Valley So yeah I mean like respect to him for coming down for a game I feel like if you had back to back games, were they both home? Yep So like I'm sure that your apartment can wait one extra day my dude I mean you didn't have any clothes or anything, but... I don't know What a guy And then fucking DeMarco puts out this thing He's like, well this is gonna be the 27-28 opening night lineup And he had Yurichek as their top right-handed defenseman I went, if I saw... If that's the guy... So I put that tweet out on Twitter I was using all the things that he did in that game It got like some... Yeah, I know, I saw Some fucking weird... It got like a lot of weird traction to it And I was like, why? What the fuck? So I started writing these replies and it's all the people from Minnesota and Columbus that are like Yeah, that's pretty much what he is So I'm like, oh, so this is just... This kind of wild game by game... Prouist of this David Yurichek guy That's just what he is apparently

He's gonna fall down on one shift and look like a god the next shift And there's just nothing in between So I'm like, I don't know if this guy's the top player in the NHL or not But he's ours now, so... You know what? I mean, I don't hate to trade at all I mean, I wouldn't have minded David Yurichek fit overall in 2022 It feels kind of weird with people coming out and being like This is our replacement for Cutter Go Chase Yeah, okay, sure But... Yeah I hope that he does work it out out I mean, we know with the fencemen it can just take a couple extra years This is also his fourth season in third organization has been part of Yeah, hopefully like a little... Yeah, now Consistency will be able to... He's also a fucking giant, by the way How big is he? I want to say like six, five

So he's listed at... 64204 But like... When you're watching games live in particular You just always come across on TV and you can see the size difference between these guys And generally they're like 6263, they're like the same But every once in a while it's the really small guys and they're really fucking tall guys that stand out I'm like, I would not be surprised if he's taller than 64 That guy was a fucking giant out there Yeah, I thought he was 6'5 But like... I know that he's a big boy That's one of the first things I thought of when I thought of Your reaction to the trade was Dan's gonna like a big boy He's my new favorite, yeah He's so bad and so tall Which means I immediately love him That's why you picked Sam or Ann? Pretty much He's only 22 so I mean There's some hope here for the future I mean, not to say that like Jamie Driesdale's a world-class defense swim but like...

He is pretty goddamn bad in Anaheim and is now mediocre at best So he's come around He's definitely improved He's definitely shown massive improvement I mean like if he can keep that going then you know That'd be great if David Gerchick can get some of that as well Get all of her bonk on the right side I don't remember who it was Maybe it was Anthony DeMarco talking about that And like talking about bonk Yeah, it was Marco that put that on Yeah, instead of Western Conference executives said Like I'm like that's exciting And I was like Maybe I just don't know Pock but why... If any of them look like they could play hockey That'd be far more excited than I am right now It doesn't look awful but it's like... If they all pan out and hit their ceilings Yeah, that's kind of cool But... If Jamie drives down on David Gerchick Especially reach like 4 more 6th overall pick Defendsment potential I... Embank is a very serviceable

Like... 2nd, 3rd pairing defense And you know I'm perfectly happy with that My problem is I still don't really see a star And there's not really a star on the left side either No Anything new to Marco also pointed said today That if you trade away travel at the same time You're crippling the defense And not expecting to be in contention For at least 3 years I'm not expecting to be in contention Whether Sandheim's here or not That was kind of my... Like I'm not necessarily... What the hell? This is what is 11 season? 10th, 11 season? I'm not fucking... I think he's gonna be 30 at the end of the month Yeah Like... I'm not in the camp that we... Yeah, the end of the month Already I trade Travis Sandheim But like... I have no problem trading him I don't think he would cripple our defense 17-18 If Sandheim... Getting traded cripples your defense He got bigger fucking problems

Yeah What do you say? Let me see... I don't really see a star Sandheim is fine Like... He's come a long way from what he used to be But like... What are we doing here? I think the team Canada nod Like really... Has inflated some people Like... And again, not... I'm not saying Sandheim's a bad defenseman He's a very serviceable good defenseman Like he's a good... Two-three guy Like probably more a third parry... Not their parry... A third defenseman on a good team But like... I just don't see this world-class defenseman Who would cripple a defense by leaving He's not like... I like the idea that Sandheim's Think it's holding this fucking team together right now And you know what? For... It probably fucking is They go from missing the playoffs to missing the playoffs Oh no! Whatever we do I did reply to Anthony And I was like...

And I was saying like... I'm not advocating for or against trading Sandheim But... In the grand scheme of things Even with Sandheim Do we see a... A path... That leads to contending in the next three years Even for... Like... Getting past the second round Like... Our goal-tending situation Like... Yeah, damn lidar is looking pretty good for us this year Who knows? Who knows if he keeps it up next season? Um... I would sure hope he does But... Again... Sandheim has made the playoffs twice since... In his NHL career in my knowing 2018 and 2020 Woohoo! And here's the other thing It's just that... I know we've talked about it before It's like... Whenever we get... I think it was after the Christian Diverag contract Where we were both saying... Yeah, the Christian Diverag contract isn't awful

But it's not good And the stack... The Cateria contract And the Sandheim contract And the Kinechni contract And the Tippet contract And it's just like... And you can't get rid of any of them Because they all... I mean, except... I don't think Tippet has a full no-move clause He's got a ten-tea-no-trade list Or something that kicks in this summer And so like... We've just got all these long-term contracts That are just not... They're not bad, but they're not good Yeah... They're not good play... And the thing is that the mediocre players usually... I mean, Kinechni is a good player Tippet's... Like... Better than I mean... Like, you know, he has those good games But it feels like it's not nearly enough for... Like, especially when you have guys like Porter Marton coming up And you have Denver Barkey

Out's bump is looking good all... Like... He's already scored his first goal Like... You have those guys You have... I mean, sure, we got rid of Brink But again... You're bringing up Porter Marton Probably... At next season, at the late of the week Potentially, huh? And then... If... I mean, Trevor Zegress It seems like he is really gonna stay Most likely on the wing Like... You don't... And someone mentioned like Oh, well then the... Again, we seem to just have really shitty skaters Except for... I wouldn't tip it. It seems like Owen Tippet is like The one person on this team where everyone's like Yeah, he can skate Because... I saw someone say It may have been Anthony DeMarco again It feels like he's been all over my timeline recently But someone said that If you take away Owen Tippet We have like one of the worst skating wingcores And it's like... And yet we sit here in Circle of Jerk Danny Breer

For all that he's done Even though he's assembled such a mediocre team That's the thing. It's like the... The Circle Jerkum But then there's like If we get rid of Travis San I mean, tire... Oh, tire than goes to shit We get rid of Owen Tippet And our entire wingcore Where he's the... What the fourth best winger? At best, huh? Like... Because if we're gonna count Zegris on the wing Then Zegris, Mitch Cobb, Kineckney At the very least they're gonna be over him And my turn shows up that's another one I would force her over him Force her and... Yeah, you know, someone like I was bumping long run Maybe better than him too Like... DeMarco is looking good too Like, come on If our fifth... If our fourth or fifth best winger on the team Is gonna make our wingcore absolutely shit Then why the fuck did we draft all these fucking wingers? Yeah...

Yeah, I was on the Philadelphia Sports Table podcast last week And, you know, we talked about this redundant season You know, go back to this old term in a bubble You know, player by player They're not all bad Most of them are fine And some of them are even good But the mix The chemistry The construction of this roster is so poor That you're just leading them to no success And fuck, if you put a legitimate one C here Which we'll talk about in a minute Cause that's kind of my biggest takeaway from the trade deadline But if you put a top center here And they found chemistry with Mitch Cobb and Kineckney You're fucking golden right there You don't need eight other wingers here to be mediocre You got your thing Like, this is such a poorly constructed roster That they're all just dudes and everyone's here for fucking ever Like, I... The idea that you can subtract anybody And you would even notice they're gone To me is like mind blowing If Tippet wasn't here If Tippet played for the fucking Calgary Flames

And we had to trade for him How many people want him? Fucking nobody Because he's just a fucking dude That nobody cares about It's just we overvalue our own players Because that's what we do around here I saw I had a little back and forth with Brandon Somerman Because I saw I said, why would our... Like, Tippet is our fourth or fifth best winger I really don't have many problems Smaller than getting rid of it And he came back and was like, well, without Tippet Then our wing goers and all the grit Our wing goers, if we're looking at it in a couple years Matt Baimichka, Porto Martone, Travis Kineckne, Trevor Zegris, Tyson Forster At the time, Bobby Brink was here, Denver, Barkey, Alex Bump And Porto Martone That's nine! That's nine fucking wingers there And it's like... That's more than you can have on your roster And those are all guys that are supposed to be like

Third line or better Because then like... You have a guy like Nikita Grubankin Who is a perfect fourth line winger Who can definitely... He feels almost like a raffle type of player Who is best in that... Especially on the fourth line can move up to the third line How can move up and down the line up where you see fit But is primarily that bottom six winger And we have more than enough bottom six winger And we have more than enough bottom six centers With Noah K. Chonkatarriak-Grijan-Devorak Like... Luke Glenn Denning Probably gonna get a long-term contract this summer The other thing called Grunstrom Has looked like a perfectly fine fourth line winger as well Like... So... And those are eleven If we're gonna add those two guys down there So I really just don't...

The reason why we need to keep Owen Tippett There's no... We gotta keep the young guys But then we can't get rid of the old guys And if we fucking keep drafting only fucking wingers Then where the fuck is anyone gonna go? What happens with this group when like Forster and Marton are here? Dude Barkey and Bump just... A tough shit back to the AHL for you for the rest of the time Are we the same Barkey Bump? They're gone because Owen Tippett needs to get his ice time Yeah This is not the guy I'm sacrificing the future for At this point for the flyer Exactly! Get value for him If there is value like every... Like all those flyers fans who say we can't get rid of him say Then get rid of him Maybe you get that value at center And again, our gold tending Yes, we have Eagles have ragging But like, it seems like he's in the dog house at Scott Just like how Mitch Cobb was at certain points

Yeah Like, you know, that guy better be good Because your gold tending... Carson Bjarnison That is fucking terrible One of the worst gold tenders I've ever seen Carson Bjarnison This guy can't hang Cole is like... Cole is off Cole is off is wildly hot and cold There are some games where he looks great Other times when he allows three goals on three shots He's done that at least twice this season If not more You never know what you're getting with the Cole is off And Bjarnison is just flat out bad So you better fucking hope and pray that it's a wrecking the guy Because they don't have anybody else Because we haven't drafted a goal in the past two years The past two drafts You couldn't draft one goalie We had... God, they have a how many second round picks We went into the draft with fucking three first rounders Like five second rounders Try to them for... We tried two of those picks away Sure, we only had two first rounders and four second rounders You couldn't use one of those six picks on the... Not Ravensburg in or Medvedev or the other fucking Russian guy

No! Ravensburg in... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I... I totally got that they... That they're... Putting their trust in Egor's Everagon But... Maybe let's not put all of our eggs and just... Historically that hasn't worked out With these Russian goalies Look at fucking Detroit Who has trade Augustine Who is now leaving the NCAA Because he just played his senior year At like once he... Once Michigan State is out He's in Detroit And you know who else is in the Detroit system? Sebastian Kosen Yeah! Oh my God, Sanders A Who picked Joshua Ravensburg Who else do they have? You're up That's true You're up Huh Like... Philip Gustafson And uh... Jesper Wallstead in Minnesota Wallstead in Minnesota?

Like... Look at Nashville Who went from... Oh They fucking picked Peck Arena Had him for a long time And then They picked UC Soros And then he... They've had him for a while And they were gonna do the same thing With... Ascare of before trading in a way Why the fuck aren't we doing something like that? Oh no, you have two elite gold tending prospects What will you ever do Trade one of them for a king's ransom? Like I got a draft more wingers Man Ha ha ha A lot of the decisions just baffled me Yeah And it's like... And you know what else? I've mentioned it a couple times Dating per year He must know why Ron Hextall was Ultimately what the final straw is With Hextall Sure, there was a lot of things before And like... Not that great contract To bad contracts

His draft picks Not really panning out As highly as we all thought they would And you know Just the waiting And the... Having to sign JVR Cause you have to sign someone at some point And then But all that was stacking up But the final thing Was because he wouldn't fire his coach Yeah The coach was so obviously bad for the team And That's fucking rich talk at year Like honestly I don't know... I don't know if I would say that Dave Hextall was worse than Rick Talkin Like Hextall just was a bad coach He just wasn't good at it Rick Talkin is quite literally Going to fucking crusade level Jordan Against Matt Baymichkov Yeah Why? I don't know me

Probably because he's Russian Because for whatever reason Like... And Vancouver They had all those good Russian prospects Right? And then Rick Talkin came along And now they're all fucking gone Within a year Like It's like Rick Talkin saw the Russian 5 from the 90s And was like Oh fuck, they're scary Yeah Like this guy Whatever the fuck it is But something... I mean he's so... When your general manager has to come out And apologize that the comments That your coach made about your franchise star player Like I don't think Talkin's getting fired If I was a betting man I still wouldn't put money on it But I don't think it's zero anymore Especially if they spiral out of control In these last 20 games And things get real bad on the ice They may have no choice but to fire him

But like historically the fires don't do shit like this They don't admit that they're wrong very often At least not recently Like the idea that they're going to fire him Yeah, shocks, we made a mistake We're going to try somebody else So yeah, I think the Hextall comparison is fair We're heading to like 2018 Where it's like hey This guy sucks in your team sucks You have to do something And the answer is We're not going to do anything And then in November when they inevitably fail Then the whole ship's going down Which at this point I really don't care anymore Fire him off for all I care Like honestly I have said this There are two guys in this organization Who need to stay and that is Oh He's mapping Mitch call And put him our tone I Had oh From Marton in my head And then I was about this And I was like no wait, Matt Bay And then I'm like Oh, win mapping Mitch called and put him our tone Those are the two most important people in this Pretty much No However, Zegris is also very important You know Travis Kineckney as well Like I know that he

It's not quite like how it was say Five years ago Or like back and I guess eight years ago Back in 2018 When Travis Kineckney was still A pretty new player He's fine Like you know Here's the thing We're going back a bit to that Oh and tip of thing with like With Brandon Somerman Like saying that Like you won't have that amazing win Court like we will Because having just a top four Wingers of Some combination of Trevor Zegris Matt Bay Mitch called Porter Bartone Travis Kineckney Tyson Forester Assuming that Zegris stays a Winger Like it doesn't convert to center But then Then you have those four Wingers And that's a pretty fucking good Like four Wingers for your top two lines Then you have a guy like I don't know you can just

Have whoever Fucking Denver Barkey and Alex bump On the third line And then have Fucking Nikita What is the way Like fuck Who the fuck Center for this team Why are we focusing on the Winger anyway That's the problem We have it set We actually need to Subtract That's Your fucking Wingers And save your center Depth who's playing Center for this team next year Nobody Who the fuck Like And you just got to hope And pray that maybe We get someone Because I think the 2027 draft I know that Landon DuPon Is like the Highline Yeah He's a guy against the Flyers What a guy Imagine if we got him He's a center Yeah, fucking may as well Yeah, fucking may as well But like

I'm pretty sure that the 2027 draft is like Pretty top-loaded With centers Which means you know That we're going to finish 16th Yeah, we're not going to Like Not miss out on one of those Elite top ones That's a fucking year From now We start to suffer a whole Another goddamn year Like Again All because Like I also have I Honestly do not know why We had to Extend Christian Devorak back in January Like It's not the Deadline and he wasn't gone And then they sign them You know, whatever Like I couldn't fucking care But you don't even Entertain the possibility Of course In the next two months Your team Could employ What you didn't Immediately did And

Like He would have fetched This of another First round pick Sure, it's probably Not super high But again, You have two First round picks And maybe you can do something I don't know Probably not Unless if a guy Like Port Martona Matt Bay Mitch called Because then he's Going to go out and find That center that he needs To have But isn't good enough To be on the Fucking team yet Yeah That's the other thing We talk about But we have guys Like Jack Barthog Jack Nesby Jack Luchanko Jack Berglund Who will all be great Agelers in the near future And we And like even the Organization doesn't treat Them like they're He's highly Toweded Like center prospects Who are going to come in To save the center The center position In Philadelphia Even the Beats I think was Kevin Kerr is Like someone was Saying why don't we Like Oh, we need three first round Pick materials It's like

Chet Luchanko Jack Nesby And And like 2026 First overall Pit Or Toronto's 2027 First overall pick First round pick And he was like Like you think That those guys Are with first round picks They were just picked In the first round The past two drafts I would sure hope so Or are you admitting That the guys that they Pinned That Brear has no idea what he's doing In the first half In the first round Are not first round values I mean, they're probably not They are Because they The media The media who is at war With the fans Because Danny here can do no wrong Are admitting to us The fans That the first half That are 13th overall And 12th overall picks Aren't first Over our first round pick Value Yeah One in less than a year Out in less than two years Out It's one of the things That I've noticed with Dvorak and Robert Thomas as well

Which the argument is Well, they need a Dvorai Because they need an NHL caliber center On the roster Because they want to compete Okay, if you want to compete If you want to compete And you need centers That sounds like Well, we can't trade for Thomas Because insert bullshit reason here And I'm like So why is it so fucking critical The Christian Dvorak is here Under contract for the rest of fucking time At 30 years old But you can't add 26 year old Robert Thomas is the fucking Putting up 80 points of season Why? Where is the logic here? Are you rebuilding or are you competing? That is like The question that I asked all the time And this fucking trade dead like Proved that they still don't know what they're doing Because they kept risk to line in Because they want to make the playoffs Even though they're not going to make the fucking playoffs But we can't... You want to rebuild But they can't And it's like it's the Brear thing And we talked about this on the publisher on Friday Like this wasn't a Fletcher deadline Where they didn't do anything Brear did his new thing Because he's been doing it at every veil of opportunity Which is Hey, I did something So people can't get too mad at me But it's not nearly enough to make a fucking difference

Yep And like That's where we are Now they keep moving Bristol into the summer My guess is we don't... He doesn't get moved until next year's trade deadline Even if he's fucking healthy at that point Which has not been in his favor lately He's not going to get moved in the summer If nobody wants him to pay the price Going into the playoffs Nobody's going to pay the price And fucking July for the guy That's not how there's work So he's here forever Which means they hamper Bunk in your check Who's not going to play in the NHL anytime soon Because they didn't trade their fucking Accessive defenseman that they have And then you got this setter depth here Which is complete and utter shit Kate's Cateria and Dvorak under contract For at least four more years Cateria and Dvorak More so I think they both got five left I think they both got five left Like... What are you fucking doing here? Are we just going to bring him back 45-year-old Luke Glenn Denning to a lifetime contract too So we can play 4C in what a face off Who's playing center for this team? What the fuck is going on here? How did they just fucking this up To such a royal level When it comes to basic roster construction

Of not having one center That's capable of playing fucking top six minutes On like any kind of winning team What happened? Here's my thing is like... I'm going to press this with like I have no problem with the Trevor's Eager's trade But I will say I am and was at the time I was upset that it was not Christian That it was Ryan Hane You're having a good night Who went over to Anaheim Because I was thinking back We could have traded something as valuable as Honestly, I would have given up another second round pick I would have traded away one of our first to Anaheim for that Like... I would have done something like that Because you know what? The reason Christian DeVorek is here is because We traded Ryan Paling to get Trevor Zegris Who isn't even playing center for us If the fire-talkit would Zegris go to center

Or is he just on the wing perpetually now? Honestly, I don't know I... I don't really know if he... It's a depend on who he's talking with Benjamin again I mean Rick talkit is just talking about how We're trying Mitch come out on the right side Even though he's... Like it's a brand new adventure Like five years now Ten years of his life Like... Back when Mitch Cobb and Bidard were making the headlines in 2020 Like five, six years ago Mitch Cobb was playing the right side Here's the left shot right wing Yes Because everyone was saying he was the exact opposite of Ovi Who was the right-handed left-winger And so like... And we had seen a few times before Where Mitch Cobb had been put on that left side

And he and me every time He didn't play as well And so... Rick talking Has to put him over there And then he's like Oh well Bobby's gone And you know like... We're gonna try him out at that And you know... It's like... You had to wait for Bobby Brink Just fucking... You need to put your franchise right-winger on the right wing Of course Like, here's the thing Is he gonna do that with Porta Marton? I am, Marton's gonna be playing on the fourth line in two weeks when he shows up Are we gonna be seeing Porta Marton fourth line left wing? Because... We need to see what he can do Well, Marton's Canadian So maybe he'll have an opportunity to... It's a good idea He's not European Yep I honestly don't know why Rick talked it Literally doesn't just sit there and stare right into the camera Whenever a mish-calf question is asked anymore Because... That is infinitely better than any of the times words come out of his mouth

Yeah Because it's always vindictive Yep And what is mish-calf said? Nothing Not a fucking word And he's only done that one interview and they came back from you and Greg This is the problem player The bad guy The bad guy He's so bad, you know I could not give less of a shit if he came into training camp Eating two full Nothing but cakes He is more than Now you can do this fucking franchise Then Rick talked it ever has been or ever will be Yeah, you know, like I don't know why Danny Breyer is so okay with having a coach who's just perpetually at war with our franchise player and Again, we've all pointed out this isn't anything new. He has been going at

European especially Russian players. It's like the cold war hasn't fucking ended for this dude He's living back in 1985 with Bobby Clarke who is fucking fear campaigns about Russia Treating like it's the real time we beat the Russian senseless. Yeah, that's Bobby. I heard that 40 years later he's sitting here going like good. Yeah Russian The Russian they're gonna be made That's not her needs to get down there and tell them that they're not getting every fucking Russian and European player like shit The just because I was surprised if Rick talk it heard the story about it's later going down there and telling them they won't get paid If they don't go back out and thinks every Russian just wants the they just want money. They don't want to play hockey It's got to be something right There's got to be did Pavel Buray like Slash tires one night or something in the parking lot and was he jumped by the Russian five and Detroit like did I miss something like one of the old heads like

Frank didn't like me here. Yeah, what are we missing? Gunner He quite literally is it it feels like if someone said The sovy you can just gonna drop a bomb get under a desk and Rick talk it would hide under his fucking desk I really don't know what the fuck is problem is like I saw Alex Bum took a penalty. That's the end of his career It's been nice knowing you bum 159 left in the first four periods of hockey. That's the end. He'll be back in the age. I'll buy tomorrow It was fun Walt last and rest easy brother. We'll see you in the fall We had to watch now Oh god Oh my god You know, it's bad enough that we had to sit through that shit We had to sit through the fucking pliers. We also have to watch your fucking government too God If you're a fire's fan in in the United States, you're just

Management is just the fucking laughing stock of that free pick But we don't have to watch Nick Deloria anymore Hey, there's a curl on a hurricane now Honestly, I couldn't have given two shits if you stayed here for a conditional seventh round pick Which is still the funniest thing I've ever heard what's the condition? Oh if he breathes on the ice I assume that's what it is in all honesty. I don't know if anybody's put it out yet I've been able to find it, but I assume it's like he has to play a single game for the convertor something Whoo Let's see it didn't any prior kind of just said future considerations And those your considerations are oh posity it does have it. It's been updated pick transfers if hurricanes When at least two playoff rounds in 2026 and Deloria plays 50% of the playoff games What Not right to start again

Good everything's going to shit. I told you it's the end of bum's career Yep, Todd gets gonna take him out back and show This is what you do when you when you give a power play goal in the last minute. Oh god We never saw him again. Thank God the kipperist aligning you can get turned inside out on that shoe The defensive solver that he is I think I really just need to keep watching games because I don't know if I've watched them win a game and I think I don't think I've seen them win a game since maybe the homo Every game I watch is to loss Okay Oh 15th goal the season. Did you know that Joel Fairby's leading the Calgary flames and goals with 15 goals? I thought I saw somebody tweet about that you know cutter grotesque and pays for like 40 Yeah I can't wait for the real story to come out on that I can't wait I really do think that he it was just a mixture of Danny Breyer not wanting to sign him cutter being a bit childish but also

smart in the same time and Like at the very least cutter. It seems like he was at least a bit childish with the whole I don't think he may have handled it well But I do think it was sparked by the fact that they did not the flyers and Danny Breyer for whatever reason Did not give him his ELC at the end of that season and he took his ball and went home I still think that's what happened. Yes, it was probably not the best look for goji, but at the same time You didn't give him what he wanted. So fuck you Just like honestly at this point. I think I'm more On his side than like I think most people are just funny because the threats that guy was getting for a long time Like I was like so upset because I was like he was so childish and all that and you know It's died down a lot and you know I'm more just mad that He's fucking lighting it up over an anaheim And we're watching Fucking people cry Imagine if cutter go chase still here maybe now

I don't know who the fuck Because I know that people a lot of people are saying that James Hagen's might end up more on the wing than the center as well Um, but like I got imagine if let's say cutter go chase still on the team last year and we're still picking sixth overall Like You probably take it again. What am I saying? We probably take James Hagen's Imagine a secret stated center goji was on one wing and Mitch cove was on the other. What a fucking top line That would be oh my god, that would be fuck no We can't have that See Mitch cove's on his fucking off wing zeegers isn't playing center at all and goddamn cutter goji's an anaheim Woohoo, I love it here Fuck Yeah And without Travis and I'm this will just come crumble into the ground apparently And we're all still hoping that this what 21

One year old goalie in russia I don't want to subring it I think Because he was 2023 so if your checks 22 then Savage and should be 21 he'll be 21 in august So are our hopes for in that are basically entirely on a 21 year old In russia right now Played uh 12 games in the cage all this year 16 in the VHL and I think he played pretty well in the cage else still then like 19 Say percentage five seven zero record 263 goals against I assume that's fine by cage all standards Cuz it always seemed like he was doing really well That's all he kept hearing about and then like he went down and then based on all these other, you know Hype trains like colasov and fetatov and ursson over the years I'm not exactly like I hope ziver against the answer

I hope this guy comes in it looks like fucking prime You know heading there going quiz, but uh based on the way that this Ursson's gonna be different guys trust me Call us how's gonna be different guys trust me fetatov's gonna be different I don't care what he does in russia. I only care what he's doing here So the hype train eight. I hope he's great But man the idea that you're putting all of your eggs in the basket of this one guy based on how poorly Doing these international goals. He's goalie's has worked lately Call him the fucking skeptical that he's going to be a franchise changing guy And what the fuck do you do if he doesn't show up then what Yeah, if he makes it to north maybe he shows up and he shit then what Then what do you do? I Really that is my biggest thing. I honestly have because these past two drafts It's not like they haven't had good goal tending prospects either like last time you had one goal tending prospects Yeah, and we couldn't pick one they didn't get one of them nope Like again, it's not saying that I don't know if dandy beer thought like Oh, if we draft another goalie then Zevragan's gonna

Zevragan and the Russians are gonna think that oh, we're not trusting Zevragan It's like no, we're just being fucking resourceful and and trying to Better cast out a bigger net. So hopefully when we do get another but brosky We don't fucking trade him away because we're gonna sign ilia was going to a nine year 51 million dollar contract He's still got one year on that buyout by the way, we just looked that up on off of that 2027 Oh my god, you know what? I'm gonna miss it. I'm gonna miss it Can we have him on the books for the rest of the time? He's probably better than Samerson, right Even today at 50 or whatever he is he's got to be I don't even know if he's 50. He can't be that much worse You know, you know, brosgan was only 45 be 46 in June I mean

What was his stance the last dream was here Got 1213 or nine hundred save percentage 279 goals against Urson has a 344 goals against an 859 save percentage whoof holy fuck I Was Steve Mason was still here. God so do I You know what I was talking to the friend and she wasn't really like as into the flyers back when back in 2018 I mean and we were talking about 2018 19 and our eight goalies that year I was brought back to our our lovely tandem of Brian Elliott and Michael Noyworth who were the the glass brothers When one was back the other one went out And they ran him back for the 1819 season and they were both hurt during the preseason boom

And then one of them come back One then I think one of them came back real quick and so then we let cow picker go in the Elliott came back And then he went out again and think we got I think we had lion then plug you had Alex lion Mike McKenna Carter Hart Anthony stole ours You had Elliott nob it here. Yep, Talbot is there So I don't know Elliott Noyworth hard McKenna pickered Talbot stole ours lion lion Yeah Look at that Look at that we remember our you we remember our any show we remember our trauma. Yeah I remember I think it was I want to say it was either St. Louis or the Nordiques I'm pretty sure it was the Nordiques Nordics Before now had a blue I had blue and I had red in my head and I was like it's either the 90s

Uh blues or like the late 80s mid early 90s Nordiques and yeah Because I think Mike leute leute leute leute leute You don't realize how dirty your television screen is until a nice white she device shows up there and I can't tell that's a pocket hurt god damn shit Yeah The shit on the ice with the flyers versus the shit on whatever it is on the somebody's screen right now Man who remembers on that please dog shit on the fire Now the flyers are shit all over the ice in general. Yeah Oh, that was just a recap. I thought the flyers just went down for it not Not yet You know, we're on pace to lose nine nothing Not good

Which is a typical flyers rangers game takes me back to the uh to the covid year god Except we we score to go that game You'd be like nine to two or something. I thought it was nine one I'm sure there are multiple nine gold games that against them Gather nine one or nine three. I don't think it was an odd number. I'm pretty sure The Bruins we I think the Bruins we just like seven two in the in the outdoor game Oh Man and that season was fucking lit if you didn't pay attention to the flyers At least those were like fun though There's like the morbid curiosity of how much of the flyers gonna lose by tonight. This just sucks Honestly, that was one of the most fun times I've had as a flyers But season long it kind of sucks, but I was kind of like you know what? I kind of want to see how this goes Like my curiosity

I don't even want to turn the fucking TV on and watch the TV The other reason it's on right now is because we're doing the show and I want to commentate on it But like I don't even like turning the flyers games on anymore back then I was like I got to see how much they lose by tonight It was a momentary I got to see how shit the art I don't even get that anymore. I just get to watch a rick-talk and fucking everything up Yeah, you get this and then when mit's cop does something good. He's like oh fuck right on camera God Again, I don't know why Danny beer if he's not gonna fire him I don't know why Danny beer it doesn't go to rick-talking be like just shut the fuck up. Tell them you're mute Like we get a fake bandage put it on your put it on your neck and say you lost your voice You were mauled by a dog who gives a fuck? They're not gonna be all the chat and hip-hop and shit. They can't check hospital record Just don't just don't say another negative. It's like he can't help himself, but shit on mit's calm

Like all the time Tortorola occasionally said nice things about people But I mean here's the thing tortorola never shit on met they either They mainly save it for Morgan Frost. Yeah, the toilet seat Well, at least publicly he didn't shit talk Matt Bay Cuz like you're not supposed to Yeah, you know Talking just can't can't help them so like they either Brear needs to either fight if they know They're gonna go into the summer and not do anything you got a fire talking or if you're keeping talking You got to go in and change this roster drastically and give him like a fighting chance and something else to talk about besides So shitty talking is it's gotta be one of the great because we have a whole bunch of tray clauses Yeah Bro, it's fucking insane. I don't know if they run this team back with no big changes and talk it's still here Like you're just asking to get fired at that point. There's begging Comcast to come down and fucking fires dumbass and he deserves it

That's it's the you know, Dave Hacstor on Hacstor thing all over again It's the deadline failures of Chuck Fletcher all over again kicking the can down the road and still not making those changes when you get to the next Checkpoint. Oh, we're gonna we're gonna keep we're gonna hold wrist-to-line because it's important We'll move him in the summer and the summer's gonna come around and wrist-line is not gonna get moved because fucking of course. He's not gonna get moved It's next year's deadline at the earliest now, and we've just told that he's gonna move since March three years And four fucking years Of us saying wrist-to-line is gonna get moved I'm sorry. We took two years off of that because no one was gonna trade for that contract after we signed him Yeah, and then he was fucking hurt to all hell All right, and then he got hurt and then he came back and then he got hurt He comes back and he looks good and I was like oh wrist-to-line is gonna get a good a good package at the deadline And then he gets hurt and this year he doesn't

And we don't trade him Of course not And you know what russ is the one guy in the media brush joys the only guy in the media who is like What the fuck are we doing Either we're trying to make the playoffs, which is really fucking stupid because they don't want to stand a snowball chance and fucking super-how About make about doing anything in the playoffs if we fucking make it there somehow At like what is the fucking point like why are we trying to win games when that doesn't do anything for us We're not gonna go far in the playoffs where we'll probably lose in three games some way somehow first time since the fucking like forties or whatever So it really is just I don't know what they're doing the direction that they're going There there are clear directions that Danny Breyer can go But will he go down them? I have no fucking clue. Nope based on recent history the answer is no

Just over and over again they they preach about like sometimes they might they don't ever preach about a rebuild But they it's all about like building something new and then the second you get an ounce of success. It's like Abandoned that shit And then go all in and then lose That's the thing they go all in and then they're fucking lose It's like when you're playing NHL and you're doing the season sims for franchise narrow And you you're like doing all right and then you get to the trade deadline and then all the science is like And you're like What the fuck That's what the flyers do every time there's a good Lick of success. Yep And we've seen it all the time you know we were building something and then we see start to see now Listen the closest thing we've had to an actual rebuild was when Ron Hextall was here pretty much What he actually drafted a guy who was seen as a future cornerstone of the defense and I have been provarov

Uh a guy seen as a top line center and no on Patrick A top line right a top line winger and drivers connect me a franchise goalie in Carter Hart And you know what it took a few years and then they did that great shit in 2019-20 like that was what a rebuild is supposed to fucking feel like you start to see the pieces fall in order And then you see them come to fruition And then we saw that and of course it it got completely fucked up And then you know we we go into we have an entirely shit season in 2020-20-21 And honestly that would have been the perfect time to start rebuilding we had a shit season We had Carter Hart who was still young No knowledge about anything that he had ever done in his personal life that would ever make us hate him at that point Like Ivan provarov was looking we're still looking like a good future

Defensive and maybe not necessarily a true number one like we at all thought but like still looking like a very solid guy He was gonna eat minutes and go out and leave his heart on the fucking ice Sure no one Patrick hadn't panned out Strongatoria at that point it looked like you know fucking sulking It just felt like that was the perfect time to release try and Have like two seasons Or so you you just shit for like two seasons when you have the upcoming 20-22 draft with At the time shamed right as you're as like the projected the first overall pick At the very least you get there and you know you have a chill you have a choice between stopkovsky and Simon Nemech at the first overall pick Maybe you do get Simon Nemech and you pair him with Ivan provarov and they do fucking amazing And then maybe you're still shit in 20-22-23 and you end up with Maybe you don't get that they Mitch call but you get Conor Bedard

Leo Carlson Guy like that you imagine if Ron hexal sold Jorou and Vorichek and Kateri when they were all at their peaks and you know 15 and 16 when all they were here and you properly rebuilt under him the first time Probably want to want to cut by now with all that talent and they Rebuild under him and they didn't rebuild under Fletcher And they didn't rebuild under Brear and it's like when it comes to them being competitive You get the team to a certain point and then they can't push it any further and then they get to team to certain point And then Fletcher gonna push they for get to the team to a certain point and Brear Compushing for it and it's like now we're back to where we fucking started with this pure stagnation bullshit And something that's got to give We have to break the cycle and you know here's the thing you either have to get better or you have to get worse Yeah, no and here's the thing It's a hell of a lot easier to get worse Then it is to get better now Of course you're gonna have guys like snap a mitch called getting better Hopefully

Hopefully Travis Connect me is gonna still be playing at like a At the very least a 70 point player Yeah, that's the other thing Like he's been in the league What 11 years now 10 or 11 years. Yeah, whatever it is Like Honestly for him. How long does he want to do this? Listen to contact right where he is he better fucking want to do it a long time He apparently does he's gonna be here for like Is he gonna do it on a high level for a long time probably not Probably got another two or three years out of that before it's completely worthless Just like There There were so many times to get off the freeway yeah And just you find a different route. Yeah probably that it just Stug with it and kept going forward and now here we are again just Our power play still absolutely shit We're gonna need to fire your GM and bring in a fourth guy

Who hopefully will it'll pick a direction finally But I mean everyone's under contract forever even with the cap going up It's not gonna be easy to move any of these guys I'm fucking tired of you like all of the cat coming up his contract is gonna be more like that. I don't give a fuck It's partially true. It's the target and the fucking sucks. The money doesn't matter anymore That's still money on the books. That's a contract that's taking up space. No On the books That's a contract that's taping that's taking up space in the lineup You have sure I get it that maybe in a few years Oh and tip its contract isn't gonna look that as bad as it does now and honestly yet Oh and tip it doesn't have a bad contract. It's just not a good one. Yeah, which is consistent with most of the players in the team That's what we're saying in a bubble. They're all fine. They're all perfectly fine at least Put this group together and it's it's a disaster and so like I just

I don't know really what you do when you don't you can't move anyone because they all have trade clauses Like the only guys who have value have trade clauses or are your young guys like Matt. They Mitchell You're not gonna trade What do you want to do you can't we can't trade the good guys because they're good, but we can't And you can't trade the people you should be trading because nobody wants them. Yeah, you're not gonna get anything If you're just trading a bad player like what the fuck's the point of trading away Like oh, yeah, we forgot about Brea's other trade where you traded away Massimo Rizzo and Alexi Gendron for two guys who I've never heard of before Yeah Gendron and Rizzo for Jack Edwards or Something like that and the other guy The Bruins former announcer it could be for all I know It's a Danny Brear trade fucking anything is possible Oh my god, it wasn't it from Boston or I don't even know. I don't fucking know

Massimo Rizzo and Gendron for Brett Harrison and Jackson Edward who's close Where are they from where they're playing Providence Bruns Also, it it it was between us and Boston was maybe it was Jack Edwards Jackson Edward you that's a new person now No, actually, I don't think I've ever heard of Brett Harrison or Jackson Edward before that train So who knows You know what else like seeing Chris Pronger on Twitter and the things that he says specifically about the flyers It it almost Makes you wonder when you go back to the fact that we know that pronger was a guy the flyers looked at for like President of hockey ops I wonder if Maybe a reason why they didn't maybe a reason why it didn't happen was because Chris Pronger knew that we needed to tear shit down yeah build it up and

um They didn't want to do that I don't know maybe because I know pronger were saying stuff like that beforehand too Not necessarily about the flyers, but just about like building a team in general He's talked about and he's also talked a lot about how he was How they Hartford Whalers didn't pick him Like they picked him second overall and he was supposed to be their franchise defenseman And then they traded him to St. Louis like they picked The i don't know bruh for saying like coach or whatever over their star player and it's like Yeah, you don't want to pick a guy like your coach or your cheat you you want to focus on the star player yeah And that's fucking matvay Mitch call Give it a few years when they drive this guy out of town and they don't fire target and Matvay Mitchkov is playing with the fucking islanders or something And that's just the end of the absolutely just like

lighting the lamp against the flyers And here's the fucking thing we could be in second the last place in the eastern conference with A bad week and everyone else just wins a couple games and that's true Like literally Besides New York It's everyone below us is at like 65 points two wins below us Flyers have 69 points The Rangers the only team that's out of it with 56 but devils have 66 Capitals of 69 may play for 65 panthers or 65 senators are 71 So yes the entire eastern conference is within a few points of each other right now I Don't know what the fuck the point is to Like I just want to see this team succeed We may never see it again in our lifetimes

At this fucking rate If I could go back until 10-year-old Noah that this is the best you might ever see in your life I have thought about that going back and tell you know The sophomore in high school down the flyer fan in 2012 just be like hey, just stop watching now What are you talking about Dan?
