My theory is that he moved to the Flyers subreddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/Flyers/) and is this person - https://www.reddit.com/user/upcan845/

The comments are eerily similar.

I don't think it's MJL. That guy is critical of Hexy. MJL is a Hexy devotee.

Kerr one of the most over looked underrated players in the NHL 674 pts in 656 games, not too mention 370 goals. Malkin just got his 500th goal in 1100 games

It's my opinion that if Cam Neely is in the HOF, Kerr should be in.

They’re at minimum each other’s spirit nominal. The way you see Hello pursue MJL, you can tell that love story hasn’t written its ending yet.

The goods

Jay O'Brien was drafted 19th-overall by the Philadelphia Flyers in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft.
Currently, he is 25 years old. He didn't make it to the NHL, whatever, quite a few first rounders never do.
O'Brien has never even played PROFESSIONAL HOCKEY yet. O'Brien was drafted out of high school, spent a year in the NCAA, went back to the BCHL (junior hockey in British Columbia), and then finished his final three years in the NCAA, graduating in 2023.
O'Brien signed a contract with the Toronto Marlies (AHL) in 2023-24, but due to injury, missed the entire season and did not suit up in a game.
Now, for the 2024-25 season, O'Brien is under contract with the Savannah Ghost Pirates (ECHL) — but has still yet to play a game.
Crazy stuff, and might be the oldest first-round pick to never play any professional hockey in their career.

What is interesting is that while it was an off the board and in hindsight a terrible pick, even now looking at the draft there is no one drafted after him where you can say, "oh, that guy should have absolutely been picked ahead of him." I am speaking mainly from a stats perspective. K'Andre Miller, Sandin, and a few others, but no slam dunks.

Not defending the pick in any way, it was just a weak draft overall.

The Farabee pick turned out to be a great pick at 14. For his draft class, 6th in points, 4th in goals, 8th in assists. Not bad for a 14th pick.

He probably got banned at the same time HIM got banned. HIM is banned until January.

Yes. I expect so. What I do note is that I don’t have to sift through pages and pages of the same arguments which devolve into personal attacks and insults flying back and forth in order to find some hockey discussion. It’s saving me time.

I would bet MM said something the tyrant didn’t like is my guess. Be curious as well to know what.

Regardless. It would have to be something clearly insubordinate, otherwise, have a thick skin ffs. I suspect he’s just super competitive and was mad at a lack of ice time or something. I want him to keep that competitive edge tbh.

Gendron from the phantoms might not ever be an NHL regular but he is having a nice start so far this season in Lehigh Valley. Five goals in six games.
- bird_dog_pa

I watched the game last night and he looked more of an NHL player than Richard, ND and not much of a drop from Cates, Poehling. Also I'd much rather watch his skating than SL and Hathaway's "grit"

If the Flyers are going to pull this off, they are going to need someone out of nowhere to hit.

LOL


14th overall pick. 3rd among D in points for his draft class behind Seider(6) and Byram(4). 19th overall in points.

I still wish they picked Caulfield. But he has been a solid pick so far.
