come on if we lose a few more games and teams win we get get into the top 5

The most likely and feasible avenue to acquire a #1 center is to draft one.
- MJL

Joe Pavelski 7th round draft pick
G 26
A 35

Claude Giroux 1st round draft pick
G 13
A 35

Giroux with/without AMac this season:

with: 52.69 CF/60, 47.8% CF%
without: 65.18 CF/60, 54.3% CF%

The without statline would be objectively top 20 amongst NHL forwards... 65+ CF/60 is elite, like top 10 in NHL elite.



FLYERS have a number one center

Pavelski is on the wing thus I cannot entertain your comparison!

QED.

3 long years...

That's what he gets for wearing pink pants.

Cracks me up. The player culpable there is Gostisbehere. Excellent example of why his ice time has been cut, and he was scratched multiple games. Covered nobody and was a spectator on the play! If you want to criticize MacDonald, could you at least post a play where he is at fault? He was left to try and cover two guys around the net because his defense partner hung him out to dry.

You're right he was in perfect position to be mesmerized by the puck.

Exactly, that's all that Gostisbehere did was watch the puck, until he had an epiphany way late to say "hey, I better get down there at the net"!

Exactly. Have no idea what ghost was thinking there

He will go the way of Berube and Stevens. 3 of the last 4 head coaches had nothing to speak of in terms of an NHL resume. It's shocking Stevens or Berube haven't been hired as an NHL head coach since being fired isn't it?

Only a matter of time good sir.

It's coming, with every mistake he makes even if Hextall is foolishly loyal to Varisty.

As for the next guy, laughable if it's Gordon.

Hak is staying on until the end of time is he?

Every coach is fired. Optimism.

Manning's hurt?

Well yeah, eventually but I assumed your comment suggested in the near future.
