Grundstrom I think should be the odd man out. Glendening and Coots have been playing hard and playing their part and both are centers. Grundstrom would probably benefit from a few days off

@charlieo_conn Not a single mention of the academic benefits? Yikes. Not sure this kid is mature enough for the NHL

Porter Martone said thinking back, going to college for one season at Michigan St. was "the best decision I ever made." He said it really helped him develop his identity as a player, emphasize his netfront work & playing below the hashmarks. Also improving his pace.

Division 1 NCAA strength and conditioning resources are a big reason why I think you’re going to see a lot more guys go the NCAA route in their D+1 seasons. NIL money helps too

I’m the biggest Sam Ersson hater you’ll find. And they wouldn’t be in this mess if he wasn’t dreadful in January. But he’s been fantastic since the Olympic break. He’s as much a part of this surge as anyone else

Zegras baby!

@charlieo_conn HR bullshit!

What I have heard, though, is that the Flyers are motivated to get him in games ASAP. There are just some things that will need to get done first -- Martone will have to get settled, paperwork will have to be finalized, he'll have to be officially cleared by Flyers doctors.

I love when something is inevitably going to happen and local bloggers chime in like “my sources are confirming” like bro your sources are the same 5 national guys that literally everyone else also follows. Then when it does happen they act like they’re fucking Bob McKenzie

PATHETIC

Don’t fucking do this

Owen Tippett is so damn good off the rush

Dudes are having fun out there. No quit, no packing it in.

Of course it’s gonna move quickly. Like do you want to go be a millionaire or do you want to write that paper that’s due Monday morning????

"Keep an eye on Porter Martone, this one could move very quickly" - Elliotte Friedman 👀 #LetsGoFlyers

Atta boy Tipp!! That line is on fire

Martone could be in Detroit by the 3rd period if he leaves now

@DevonS93 Oh trust me, I see it too. He’d have 40 goals a year if he stopped over-passing all the damn time. Every odd man rush I swear he does it

@michaelkinky It’s not eye test bias or anything it’s just the reality

I watch tk pass it to the wrong team every game

@DevonS93 I wish they counted “hits/checks that create a change in puck possession” as a stat separate from hits/giveaways/takeaways.

@michaelkinky I understand that turnovers as a counting stat really just show puck possession But getting checked along the boards and losing the puck counts as a t/o which is probably the mass majority of those But tk’s are hilarious. It’s once a game. Usually followed by getting a point

@DevonS93 I mean he definitely does sometimes, but he’s also near point-per-game so the positive still weighs heavier. In general he needs to pass less and shoot more, go with what he’s better at

@michaelkinky Not all turnovers are the same Tk is literally bone headedly passing to the wrong team lol

@Fujipredator @Anth_Chatburn Wait till people see who leads the league in giveaways

A lot of people run their mouth on here but don’t bring the facts to back up their claims (why I like your posts @Anth_Chatburn). So here are some for the people that call TK a “turnover machine) Giveaways Per Point 24-25 Flyers (minimum 100 minutes) 1) Farabee - 2.56 (Across Flyers and Flames) 2) Frost - 1.78 (Across Flyers and Flames) 3) Coots - 1.73 4) Brink - 1.41 5) Poehling - 1.38 6) Tippett - 1.34 7) Michkov - 1.3 8) Hathaway - 1.28 9) TK - 1.26 10) Foerster - .95 11) Cates - .86 25-26 Flyers (minimum 100 minutes) 1) Hathaway - 10 2) Grebenkin - 2.5 3) Michkov - 2.02 4) Coots - 1.93 5) Barkey - 1.83 6) Tippett - 1.77 7) Grundstrom - 1.58 8) TK - 1.53 9) Abols - 1.4 10) Brink - 1.33 (Across Flyers and Wild) 11) Bump - 1.33 12) Dvorak - 1.29 13) Zegras - 1.19 14) Foerster - .84 15) Cates - .82 Points Leaders McDavid - 1.02 MacKinnon - 1.25 Kucherov - .88 Draisaitl - 1.09 Celebrini - 1.29 Pastrnak - 1.31 Around TK’s point production Barzal - 1.29 Forsberg - 1.43 Jack Hughes - 1.61 Marner - 1.37 Eichel - 1.44 Kaprizov - 1.27 So yeah you can just look at total giveaways and say “oh look how many he has” but not take in to account that scorers will turn it over more because they have the puck more. And based on the flyers he’s nowhere near the worst at the rate per points scored. Let’s just stop trying to tear TK down every step of the way because you wanted him traded. It’s just childish. He’s a great player for us and let’s just appreciate it.
