The expansion team won before we did.
The recent expansion drafts have heavily favored the new squads. Vegas and Seattle were good from day one and are both still good. It's ridiculous. Everyone in the Nhl is jealous of this, not just us.

Oh yeah I can't wait for the massive letdown.

(5) Cutter
(2) Patrick
(7) Provorov
(11) Morin

Fucking disgraceful. They've ruined hockey in this city.
So, you went and found four of our 1st round picks over the last dozen years that are no longer with us, for very different reasons too. Gauthier just decided out of nowhere that he didn't want to play in Philly. Nothing anyone can do about that. We have Drysdale and a good 2nd round pick in his place. I would say that injuries derailed the careers of Morin and Patrick. Nobody can predict that either. Provorov was pretty decent for us for a lot of years, but now we've turned him into Sean Walker, a prospect, a backup goalie and what will probably be a nice 2nd round pick. That trade is likely a win for us, ultimately, especially considering how well Walker has played and Provy has been bad in Columbus.

Again, both of those 2nd round picks will be early on in the 2nd round too.

All of that said...

News flash: Every fucking team in the Nhl has a list like this. There are always more misses than hits in the draft. It's a fucking gamble, always.

Yeah like I said then. They should have folded Ed's team when he died and given us a new one. We'd have better hockey in the city.

No, that's not what I did. He said top ten so I included every single top 10 pick of the last decade and also gave you one pick from 11. That's all of them.

You aren't living in reality. Take a look at reality, buddy.

They have fucked every single pick. Same reason different reason they fucked up every single one. Come on.

Crazy to me how much these kids are already being treated like they're guilty, just the slant of any article regarding this issue is always towards guilty. I think Canada Hockey should be on trial as well.

I just hope they get a fair trial. We as Flyers fans will just have to wait and see how it plays out. Since we got cap relief we know he is gone from our team for the year at the very least.

I just hope if he's not guilty he comes back and gets an extension plus have the organization shows him they have his back. Otherwise it could fuck with his head confidence wise.

The real problem is that justice moves so slowly. They could be looking at a trial sometime next year. If these guys don't play for that year, how good will they be when they are allowed to play. I don't know if they would be allowed to play in some other league just to keep up their skills, but this can be career killing.

All these kids are already fucked. Part of their natural confidence comes from being untouchable.

I am not sure what Torts said or did after the 1st period but it worked. TK was the only guy, besides Ersson, who showed up in the 1st period.

We already know the team can win when they try hard, but Briere, Jones and Tortorella all said that once the other teams try hard too we'll lose.

They just needed a period to get back to normal. They were rested and looked very good on defense after the first 20. Need that time to gage the pace of the game.

How nice of a pass from Farabee to TK and how nice of a finish by TK on our first goal. It was a thing of beauty.

Well if we can't sign him we will be heavily rewarded for him.
