mfitz804 Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 I’ve posted on several platforms that this complaint is not very well written. They missed the biggest point, which is that Adidas markets them as “official game jerseys”, which they certainly are not. Instead, they focus on the use of the word “authentic”, without describing that the term has been used in the hobby for decades. Instead they provide a dictionary definition that says, amount other things “not counterfeit”. Adidas can hang their hat on that as the jerseys are certainly not counterfeit. Not saying that makes them lose, but it leaves out the best argument they had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Flyers are atrocious. It's like watching the Phantoms. They are such a train wreck. No goalie. Horrible defense. Few forwards pulling their weight. They look a long way off from returning to respectability. They still have the same Teflon GM even after canning AV, who always seems to leave his teams worse off. They have to hope Farabee bounces back next year. He had the look of a 30-goal scorer. Getting Bobby Brinkn will help. He led the NCAA in scoring. Former 2nd round pick. Plus Cam York can help the back end. They need to change the system and do an overhaul. And obviously have to have Hart stay healthy and consistent. It's problematic when you keep traffic cones like Risto. Provorov should be better by now. They look like they'll have last place all to themselves next year. Just as long as they don't get Bedard.

They aren't that bad compared to those teams. But need to stabilize defense and goalie. Devils are now 12-16-2 in their last 30 GP, and have scored 105 goals and allowed 112...and that's with (putting it nicely) deficient coaching and goaltending most nights...not to mention that they've scored 3+ goals 20 times in those 30 games. They've even managed to go 3-3-1 without Hughes as of a late. Yeah none of these numbers are great, but it feels like this is absolute bottom-end for what this team (in its current state) is capable of. Yeah, even though plenty of fans are pissed about this season (how could they not be?), they're not nearly as bad as some REAL bottom-feeders. This isn't the Flyers getting completely destroyed most nights. All this being said, it's one thing to have weaknesses, it's quite another to address them. We know what Fitz needs to do...now we need to see him actually do it. Edited April 19, 2022 by Colorado Rockies 1976 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil Dan 56 Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 McDavid will at least get a few this year. Eichel probably not. I think Zacha has 5 (assuming he played all of the Tampa series) and Blackwood has zero. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I get your point. Mercer’s had a typical rookie season…showing promise at some points, looking shakier (or not doing much) at other times…he wasn’t even a lock to make the team initially. I don’t see it as pulling or not pulling his weight mostly because we don’t know what his true baseline is yet. I do like that it appears he’s going to be the only Devil to play in all 82 games this year. The more experience a kid like him is getting, the better.

I am wondering if he is just getting worn down/tired. I fully expect him to come out the gate like a bat out of hell next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impressive feat in itself. The most games he’s ever played in a given season before this was 68 one year in the Q. An 82 game season for a 20 year old rookie against the best players in the world has to be pretty tough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that’s a lot for a rookie. I don’t know why people are getting on him. It’s fairly normal for a rookie to hit a wall. I think Bratt had that problem for a few years before he finally hit that next level this season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was discussion of the Flyers’ forwards not pulling their weight. I mentioned he isn’t pulling his weight at the moment. The “rookie wall” and 82 games are potential reasons he’s not.
