Like how you cherry pick what posts to respond to. I asked what does it suggest spending up to the cap every year and having a roster void of high end talent? Wiese and Manning playing in Overtime? Wiese on the second unit PP? How do you explain this?
- PLindbergh31


Weise on 2 PP was the plan before he fell flat on his face and got a long time in the press box. Maybe they put him back there to see if the time in the Cote Suite helped him?

Ghost and MDZ weren't in that game that went to OT so D rotation in OT? After Provorov it's a crap shoot other than no way in hell do we want to see Schultz out there.

Since it's not the 80s or 90s toughness-fighting doesnt matter as much anymore but that is something he brings.

Maybe I just dont want to think of moving Simmonds because to me he is a Flyer in the classic mold.

- opeth_pa



And I get that. I understand he is a favorite of a lot of fans.

I just don't really get attached to players. Maybe I am weird. I like certain players but I feel all of them are mercenaries these days.

We all feel better knowing that we're going to sign Tavares next year

Ghost and MDZ were healthy scratches for inferior players in Schultz and Manning. There is your problem.

MDZ is hurt. Not the coaches problem.

And Ghost being scratched is a dead horse now.

That 2nd goal was a classic case of jake experiencing the ups and downs of development in this league

Maybe he'll soon learn to get the puck and throw it into the boards

I didn't know that. Can't keep track of Hakstol's wheel of defense he spins.

It's been mentioned he has a LBI a few times on here and during games.

Jake has had some hideous turnovers that lead to breakaways this season. But dear god he or G gets scratched and this place would really go to the poopter.

I don't think Ghost signs a 3-5 year deal for cheap. I would imagine his side will push for a 1 or 2 year deal coming off of this season
- nastyflyergirl


They will push but Hextall will probably pay him a bit more per season to stay longer. Same type of Deal Simmonds and Couturier. So rather than a 1 mill for 2 years maybe 1.75 - 2 mill for 5 years

He's trying to create something, anything Bc whenever he gives it to g it ends up right back in his lap. I don't fault the guy for it but if konecny made the same play do you think the coach would turn a blind eye?

It isnt a coach problem. No matter who is coaching a team guys like Giroux and Voracek are never benched. Big money players are usually above expectations. I kind of feel like while Konecny and Ghost were the ones scratched that his comments were directed to Giroux. If that was indeed a threat to bench Giroux, he has to go through with it at this point.

When you're not still whining about Holmgren, you're whining about Hextall being totally different to Holmgren.
- Feanor



I was going to post in jest, "hey how does Holmgren look now to you?"

Honestly, the world is ending, the Flyers are void of talent, blah blah balh. Some are in their glory when the Flyers are struggling. Then their rhetoric and narrative fits for the moment.

Good strategy, I'd much rather hear the sweet sound of your constant female doging and whining on the broadcast.

That made me laugh, thanks. All he had to do with give the puck to MacDonald who was wide open.

At least I'd know how many goals the Flyers have scored in the last 22 games...every 5 minutes.
