Thursday Morning Fly By: Is It Possible to Say "Harvard" Without Sounding Snooty?
by Geoff Detweiler on Jul 21, 2011 6:00 AM EDT
in Morning Fly By
Email
PrintToday's open discussion thread, complete with your daily dose of Philadelphia Flyers news and notes...
- A look at Petr Placek and his desire to go to college. Sorry, Harvard is more than a college: [Philadelphia Flyers]
- While calling it "The Bobby Clarke Curse" makes me twitch, the substance of the Curse makes me cringe: [Flyers Goal Scored By...]
- Were you looking for a reason to get excited about Sean Couturier? Were you looking for a reason to laugh at the Winnipeg Jets? How about looking for another reason to call the Flyers "lucky" on draft day? Look no further: [Arctic Ice Hockey]
- Where's my birthday wish, jerk?
- And now, the "Then and Now" we've all been waiting for, and some of us (who, me?) have been opening calling for... Bruno St. Jacques! [Flyers Faithful]
- Jeff Carter and James Wisniewski were introduced in Columbus yesterday: [Puck Daddy] [NHL.com]
- Should the Flyers add a mascot? I know the immediate reaction is "NO!" but, if Eagles fans can have one, surely the Flyers can too: [Broad Street Buzz]
- Travis explains why Chris Osgood is not a Hall of Fame goalie. Yes, this should be obvious, but it's not, so Travis makes it clearer for you: [SBNation.com]
- Yesterday was also the anniversary of the NHL rejecting the Ilya Kovalchuk contract: [Puck Daddy]
- Lastly, a thorough breakdown of the Mike Richards and Jeff Carter deals, including how Jakub Voracek and Wayne Simmonds were used last year. ToddtheFox is the one who pointed us to this site, and I must say, I am quite glad he did: [Driving Play]
- Happy Birthday Travis!

No more....
…..Richards and Carter stories, please.
It’s like adding salt to an open wound. :(
My teams are the Flyers, Phillies and the Steelers. Deal with it.
Speaking of...
Thanks a lot Select-A-Seat! Now I'm in 122!

Ugh, I forgot about that renewal letter last year.
The Flyers are 2011 Atlantic Division Champs, the Phillies just keep winning pennant after pennant. Great time to be a fan of those two teams on Broad Street.
Maybe we could hold a contest to guess how next year’s letter would read. I think with the creative minds floating about this place we could have some pretty hilarious entries.

Need some advice on this
Alright so yesterday at about 12 pm, I ordered a external hard drive off of amazon for 68.75. I have Amazon Prime, and I literally found it on my door step this morning at 8 am. The only problem is, today I found it on sale for 59.99 with free shipping (might be 3-5 business days however). The question I have is, would it be worth it to email amazon and see if I could get them to add 9 dollars to my account. They’ll probably say no, but is it worth the shot

Why does that bother you? Let’s face it, if you are still going up to 18 year old girls, your main objective isn’t to get to know them on a personal level nor is it to get their thoughts on Teddy Roosevelt’s Presidency.
I HAVE to be mad because you keep saying, "why you heff to be mad?" in every other post.
originally, it was because they were naive and not jaded. Everything to them was kittens and rainbows. Now, you say one little remark about just wanting to watch the game by yourself and have me time, and it’s all of a sudden “you’re a different person”

I wish I had known that the other side of the state has an inferiority complex when it comes to Philadelphia, but it’s something I found out for myself. I think the best feeling I ever had was a regular season game we were watching together, and the Pens were playing the Canes, and the Canes proceeded to tie it, then win it in the last 2 minutes of the 3rd period. She was not happy that day, and stormed off into her room. I laughed my ass off

If she wants to work on something or sit and read a book, I’m supposed to leave her alone ("Are you bored? Why don’t you go [insert random chore]? I’m trying to read.), but if I want to do anything by myself it’s talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, or I have to stop because she’s thought of more chores for me to do…
Lightning strikes once, Hextall strikes twice!
That was the problem. She never wanted her alone time (which I guess is something I’m guilty of. When we started off I bugged her every day, but after awhile became entirely dependant on me to be her friend, her best friend, and so on and so forth). it got to the point where she’d talk about her favorite show, “Pretty Little Liars” and I’d just listen, because she had no one else who cared, and didn’t think of her an an object

Hey, I like Don. But I’ve never crossed (or cross-checked) him, so I’ve never seen his nasty side personally.
Do you see what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps?
In person I tend not to have much of a nasty side if you cross me. If you cross a friend, I’m pretty damn mean.

To answer the question of the title of the Fly By today…. “no, it’s not possible.” Also, I would so go watch Petr if I was still going to be in MA in the fall but yeah… that’s not happening. Maybe if I’m home for Christmas I will go to a Harvard game and scout him out.
My kid’s going to Emerson in the Fall. Though I’d have to twist his arm to get him to go see Petr play. He’s not as Flyer’d up as he should be. Darn kids.

PENN STATE
Fun facts for you to tell when you visit Happy Valley on Nov. 12:
Q: If they are the Nittany Lions, why do they play in Beaver Stadium?
A: It’s named after James Beaver, former Pennsylvania governor.
Q: Why do Penn State players wear black shoes?
A: Reportedly, coach Joe Paterno believes it makes his players look slower, which is not true. Bowl games do.
Q: How is the health of the 84-year-old Paterno?
A: His ears still hurt a little from The Big Bang.
Mascot
I think the Flyers already have a bunch of mascots… ex-players that were the Broad Street Bullies. Sure, they don’t dance around or wear fluffy outfits, but you can almost always bump into one of the old bullies walking around the rink (Kelly, Dornhoeffer, Schultz, etc.)
good read on Placek
it’s possible to say it without sounding snooty if you don’t go there.
i must say though, college and university is more about finding the “perfect place” for a single individual. the Ivy League may have a great reputation, but in terms of the awe thrown in its general direction when people mention those schools, it’s incredibly overrated, especially since great schools can be found quite literally everywhere.
You wanna tell me that to mah face?!

So, Zherdev. Quite an interesting article.
Based on my limited viewing of the Flyers last year, I thought he looked pretty good out there. Combine it with the #fancystats, and I have to think the team is/was aware what he does on the ice.
Conclusion: he must be horrible, really horrible, in some way that we can’t observe. In practice, in the room, or maybe he just had a real bad relationship with Lavy?
It’s the only thing that I can think of to make sense of the fact that the team doesn’t want him back. And, in fact, will pay J. Jagr more money to replace him, which is probably only a minor upgrade.
Yes, no?
Patron saint of quality footwear.
I think this is completely believable. I hate going down the road of speculating about things that we can’t observe, but I think you’re right that they have to be aware of the impact he had when on the ice. Maybe there were certain on-ice things they were asking him to do that he wasn’t, and the part we can’t observe is what they were asking of him. Or maybe it was something completely off-ice. But yeah, it’s hard to believe that they just never noticed that he was playing better than Dan Carcillo.

It’s too bad there are no more movie rental places in business anymore—I used to work at one years ago and they were throwing those out all the time. I probably have 20-plus posters from my short time there, as well as scoring a few cutouts for friends.
I find the best deals on Amazon. Got a Beatles poster for $10 there.
What kind of plane is it? Oh, it's a big pretty white plane with red stripes, curtains in the windows and wheels and it looks like a big ol' Tylenol.
yeah, up at school they’d sell for 10, and I thought that was high. Maybe I’ll drive down to Drexel and buy their posters

So Ryan Bright and Cam Charron have written near-identical articles saying Zherdev produced but isn’t getting offers and it must be because of some kind of personality or perception issue.
Bright’s concludes that Zherdev is unemployed because “in an organization where players and management are considered family, Zherdev […] was a distant cousin with no blood relation” and that “it’s not just about embracing hockey on the ice, but off it.”
Charron’s concludes that GMs should “rest the perception about his intangible value, rest the perception about European players not playing hard enough, and just sign the best available unrestricted free agent who scores goals.”
Which article do you subscribe to? This seems like a litmus test of a lot of things about a person’s approach to hockey, and maybe even life.

and Kate Smith.
now there’s a nice couple for you. Team could generate revenue with a sitcom. They’re married and Coates doesn’t know Kate is dead and nobody tells him. She just sits there in the chair and he goes on and on like he always does and she doesn’t listen to him just like everyone else.
They have a house full of children. Schultz, Hoyda, Cochrane, Dave Brown, Behn Wilson. Ken Linseman sniffs glues and sets the garage on fire. Richards is the sullen moody kid who wears black but he disappeared this summer and nobody can find him.
Snider is the landlord with the shiny suits.

That Couturier vs Scheifele plot on Arctic Ice Hockey is pretty fascinating, btw.
Lightning strikes once, Hextall strikes twice!
I agree. I have a ton of questions about it. First, I suspect that NHL equivalency isn’t linear. I think there are some players that probably translate better than others. Also, it seems as though there are a ton more checking line players from the OHL and WHL, wouldn’t that drive down the NHL equivalency average of those leagues? If that’s the case, you’d be looking at the best of the Q against the best of the W and O carrying their checking lines. That changes things, to me.
Make no mistake, if the Caps were at 7 I’d have wanted Couturier over Scheifele, so I’m not challenging that conclusion at all. I’m just curious as to what is behind the numbers.
Obviously, this is all speculation.
Holy Crap, there were only 5 comments on this yesterday, I need to go read the comment section now.
(The graph was pretty but didn’t mean a lot to me, I’d much rather read how people interpret the data and extrapolate what it means.)
My son was born in Ottawa (Go Senators!) to a Father (Go Flyers!) and a Mother (Go Canucks!) who's families root for two different hockey teams (Go Habs!)(Go Bruins!) Little Maxwell is going to have such a confusing life.
It’s pretty simple: it says that players who score more points at younger ages in juniors tend to have more NHL games played by the time they’re 26.
The average player with ~1.7 ppg at 18.25 years old (like Couturier) will have something like 160-200 games played by the time he turns 26. The average player with ~1.1 ppg at 18 years old (like Scheifele) will have something like 80-120 games played by that time. So we should expect Couturier to be better, sooner, than Scheifele based on their age and production.
Why are we interested in what they do by the age of 26, rather than over their career? At somewhere around 26 years old, they will reach UFA and will then be paid something near the market rate. In the part of their career in which they are on an ELC or RFA deal, the restricted market means they are underpaid and provide extra value to the team, so that’s the part of the career where you get the biggest benefit from drafting well.
Just curious because I’m just getting my feet et in all these graphs and stuff for the flyers but does couturier have to necessarily be better than scheifele because he’s expected to play more games or could couturier just be more consistent at what he’s called to do at the nhl level?

He doesn’t necessarily have to be anything. He might never make the NHL — population statistics tell us about roughly what we should expect on average from someone with his background, but obviously there are some people above that average and some below it.
And games played doesn’t exactly equate with skill, but think about comparisons — Danny Syvret just turned 26 and has 59 career games played, so if he gets a deal this year, he’ll be right in that 80-120 games bucket. Guys who only get 80-120 games by the end of their 26-year-old season usually aren’t very good. Sure, there are guys who get 200+ games by that age who also aren’t that great, but the average skill level is higher.
Eric, remind me, what are the metrics for cost/savings/value? GVT?
I remember baseball did something like Value over replacement. We have that for hockey now as well, yes?

Is it bad that I still go over to PPP and read all of FLYERROB’s comments? It’s better than any book I have.

Oh, by the way, for all you soccer fans...
Last night, I went to go get my laundry out of the dryer. The laundry room where I’m staying had been out of commission for a week while they redid the flooring, so there were a lot of others in there.
Some students from Venezuela are staying in the same building while they’re here for a program. A bunch of them were in the laundry room too. They had changed the TV in there to a soccer game and were watching it while their stuff was cleaned. It was kind of amusing watching them cheer or groan every time something happened.

Also, in case you (or more likely others, since the numbers seem to be rapidly rising here) can’t tell, I don’t mean actually F any of you, just more so I mean I’m deeply burned.

Oh, Don, I know you’re a sarcastic curmudgeon most, if not all of the time, but you really don’t mean any harm.

Yeah, but I realized how many new people are here and thought it best to explain that my F you’s were to people who know me better. With all the new posters I’m trying to police myself a bit better.

I am a new poster and I think its kind of a shame that this world has come to the point where you do have to throw out that disclaimer out there because of all the glass feelings we have in this world

That must have been Copa America 2011 they were watching. Venezuela were in a semi final match against Paraguay. The match was still scoreless and went to penalties after 120 minutes. Paraguay advanced to the finals and will face Uruguay for the Copa America Championship on July 24.
Paraguay have not won a match in this cup. They are playing for the Cup championship. It’s odd.

including how Jakub Voracek and Wayne Simmonds were used last year.
Hey, you guys can ask us, you know!
I think that Corsi score is largely about him being younger than most wingers who take on the toughs + Handzus losing a step + Poni not being able to drive the play like Frolov.
In the 09-10 season, Simmonds had more opportunities to play in the top six, and the third line was more functional.
