@percsmoker @TheMugNHL Exactly. Nobody in Philadelphia talks to Elliot Friedman.

@TheMugNHL Love Elliotte but this is speculation and feelings. “I don’t know if anything’s going on but it looks like it might be”-ass

Elliotte Friedman on the Matvei Michkov/Flyers rumours: “It’s very obvious to me that there is a problem.” “I think he’s way too young to give up on, unless there’s something going on that’s so bad that I don’t know about.”

@TheMugNHL What does Elliot Friedman know about the Flyers? He hasn’t been seen in Philadelphia in almost 20 years.

@CatholicPods @Simon111xyz You are totally wrong on that whole day of obligation is not the Sabbath stop making stuff up

@Simon111xyz Yes but we are also supposed to refrain from labor

Catholic companies should seriously consider their obligation to give their employees days off on Holy Days of Obligation. Even, e.g., Magnificat doesn't do this. We aren't just supposed to go to Mass on HDOs, but to refrain from work (where possible, of course).

@CatholicPods A holy day of obligation is not a sabbath there is no restraint of work that day

@WildcatOil @CraigSMorgan What does the NHL season have to do with it? Phoenix doesn’t even have a team anymore.. I’m sure you’re mistaken and I’ll check back in November

@achs_fred @CraigSMorgan Might not be daily in the summer, but still a few each week and during the NHL season there's a daily flight.

This was to be expected with John Chayka’s hiring and I don’t think anything is coming of Shane‘s interview with Vancouver, but I do think he’d still like to do some work for an NHL team while spending more time in Arizona.

@PatsyDiabetes @chris_prieve This has to be a parody account. You can’t be this insane.

@chris_prieve Im a nurse. Its my job to protect YOU

This is outrageous.. Not a single person on my flight is masked up while we’re in the middle of a double pandemic (Covid + Hantavirus). I politely informed the flight attendant that this is a super spreader event. She just shrugged and walked away. I've already filed a formal complaint with the FAA and CDC. This is reckless and cannot stand. Masks save lives, the science is settled on that.

@wanderingscottw @wyshynski @thepwhlofficial Too much money at stake in that

Whoa: Tonight’s Game 5 of the @thepwhlofficial Walter Cup Playoffs between Minnesota and Montréal at Place Bell has been postponed due to "player safety concerns related to illness."

@CraigSMorgan He ought to work to bring an NHL team back to Phoenix

@WildcatOil @CraigSMorgan There are no direct flights from Edmonton to Phoenix. No options are any good

@CraigSMorgan Huh.....the Edmonton to Phoenix flight options are pretty good. I don't know that Stan Bowman is going anywhere this summer. But would be interesting to see if he went home.

@FCarbone9 @ColellaJohn @JeffKerrPHL In MLB they do not Judge strength of schedule wins are wins

@achs_fred @ColellaJohn @JeffKerrPHL Tbh it was more of a knee jerk reaction referencing the short amount of time he has been manager. But I could have a similar reaction to the A’s being in first place. It’s May. Marlins and Giants were under his watch as well. None of those four are powerhouses.

The #Phillies offense — since Don Mattingly became manager. BA — .275 (1st in #MLB) HR — 19 (1st) SLG —.470 (1st) Runs — 68 (2nd) OPS — .794 (3rd)

@Mrstanleycup Yes, I remember those Zaberized drinks

Remember Zaberers? #wildwood

@PierreVLeBrun Let him go to work on bringing Hockey back to Phoenix

Shane Doan and the Leafs have parted ways. His deal was expiring June 30. Sounds like a mutual decision. Doan was brought in by former Leafs GM Brad Treliving. Doan recently interviewed in Vancouver. We’ll see where Doan ends up but he’s now a free agent.

@FCarbone9 @ColellaJohn @JeffKerrPHL Well, if you’re putting down the A’s and they are in first place that’s not an informed post

@achs_fred @ColellaJohn @JeffKerrPHL I don’t feel I made an ignorant post. Am I wrong?

@ColellaJohn @FCarbone9 @JeffKerrPHL Ignorance is no excuse is it?

@FCarbone9 @JeffKerrPHL @achs_fred The first place A's?

@GuhleSzn @frank_seravalli Nonsense didn’t u watch the games

@frank_seravalli They were handed a gift in the first round and then were embarassed in the 2nd round.

It didn't end the way they envisioned, but this Flyers group will be remembered for putting hockey back on the map in Philadelphia. Massive step forward.

@nextphlmayor Nope

Dear Philadelphia, It is clear that Chris Rabb would be bad for Philadelphia and Pennsylvania. Rabb has been in Harrisburg for over a decade and has little to show… Philadelphia needs a proven leader in Washington D.C. Vote Sharif Street on May 19th!

@StewMama71 @MCCCANM You do not dump fuel in MD 80

@MCCCANM I vividly recall in 1994, as a brand new flight attendant based in Houston...losing an engine right after take-off on a MD-80. A loud noise, a dip down on the right side, then leveled, then a go-around, dump fuel, and land.

An honest question I got a few times on this post was along the lines of: “What if they hit the person & lost the engine after they couldn’t stop on the runway anymore? Could they still fly?” The answer is a reassuring YES. To be certified by the FAA (& Europe), a jet must demonstrate that it can lose an engine right at or after the speed it can no longer stop on the runway. We call this speed “V1”, or sometimes “Decision Speed”. Once past V1, the option to abort (also called reject) the takeoff – and stop on the remaining runway – is gone. You might still choose to abort, but only for drastic reasons. Like, say, a wing falls off & there is zero chance it will fly. If you do, you are going off the end of the runway on what’s called a “Runway Excursion”, which is a fun way of saying we’re going into the dirt at high speed. That’s a very bad thing for airplanes. It’s safer to take the jet into the air on the remaining engine in this scenario. The jets must have the performance to be able to do so. You can’t start a takeoff with just one engine…it will run out of runway before it has enough speed to fly. In theory, I suppose you could do that on a really, really long runway though. But you can lose an engine at an already high speed & still takeoff. We make calculations for this on every single flight, to ensure it can be done. In fact, in the summer months we sometimes have to delay or even cancel flights because the heat makes the air thinner at the surface, reducing the single engine performance to the point that we can’t guarantee the jet will clear terrain on a single engine. It could do it on both engines, but we don’t gamble & must assume the worst when planning for every takeoff. Yes, every single one. This is the situation we spend the most time briefing as we get ready to push back from the gate. In some circumstances, a special route must be flown. The normal departure route works fine on two engines, but with just one you would hit terrain. This route is built by a company the airline contracts with; it can be relatively simple, like “at 2 miles from the runway, turn left to heading 340°”, or it can be very complex & require a lot of precise navigation. We build this route into the computer so we’re ready to fly it if the worst happens. Not all airports have one…places like Kansas City don’t really need it, you’ll be fine just flying runway heading, there is no terrain. But places like DEN, LAS & PHX definitely need it. Losing an engine after V1 is obviously not fun. The thrust becomes asymmetric, trying to push the nose away from the running engine. You have to use the rudder to counteract this. The climb rate becomes painfully slow, but it will still climb (not in every weather condition…as I said, if we run the numbers & find it won’t climb enough, we’ll delay or cancel the flight). Keeping the nose pointed at just the right angle becomes pretty labor intensive…deviate just a bit & airspeed bleeds off, which is bad because we’re demanding maximum performance near stall speeds. Or the airspeed increases, which means you aren’t climbing anymore & may not clear terrain. Some very precise flying is required. Still, that needle can be threaded, and this scenario is something we practice every time we go back for simulator training (varies, but about every 9 months). As I said, it’s also something we brief & set the computers up for, on every single flight. Religiously. The autopilot can eventually be engaged to help alleviate the workload, but not until you get the jet on a good path. Once stable & away from danger, we’ll probably drone around for a bit to get checklists done. There’s a lot of them & it takes time. Then we’ll come back & land. That part isn’t actually very difficult… …unless you have to go around. Then it’s kind of the same thing all over again, but this time you are starting before the runway even begins & you have extra speed & altitude. I’m out of space. Hope that helps!

@saulhellman @NHLFlyers @PhlySprtsReprts 1973 Sir

@NHLFlyers @PhlySprtsReprts It reminded me of 1972 when we went toe to toe with Montreal before losing. We all knew what was coming and we won the Cup the next year.
