Thank you.

Hak is th one who didn't play him. Why would Hextall resign a player the coach wasn't playing.

Thank you. Please don't come again.

Doesn't change that it was Hextall's call. Things can change from one year to the next.

Spin baby spin.

We see Hak got the most out of Gagner, the same way he is getting the most out of this current roster.

You're right, it's Hakstol's fault. It couldn't possibly be the players fault.

It was, I apologize. Flyers pepper Bobrovsky tonight, he's pulled in the 2nd.
- MJL




They will ATTEMPT to pepper him, but most shots will be wide or blocked. Let's all be honest here...

Yes, it was Hakstol's fault that Gagner didn't produce well enough last season, and that he wasn't re-signed by the Flyers. On another note, I'm pissed about this snow storm coming. I blame Hakstol.

I just don't understand how Gagner is the 3C...he isn't good enough defensively. Columbus must be awful
- YuenglingJagr


We needed to have that slot open for PEB to try out for at the beginning of the year.

Don't worry.

Grabner is having a solid season so we can go after him in FA and then when he doesn't produce again we can complain about Hakstol not using him like the Ranges did.

If either or both of Gagner and Hartnell score goals and Bob gets a shutout, coming here tomorrow will be like watching the world burn.

Bill,

Do you have a sense about which of the Flyers college prospects may turn pro at the end of the year or which Europeans may come over?

- FlyerFan16


Pretty sure Lindblom comes over and has a good shot at the NHL next season. Possibly Vorobyov with Phantoms. Friedman may also turn pro and play for the Phantoms.

Hextall is in charge of acquisitions, so snowstorms are on him

Hakstol? The players on the roster is the GM's call, not the coaches.



Edit: Leight.

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.


and bigger sample

Giroux with/without AMac since 14-15
with: 55.67 CF/60, 48.5% CF, 1.67 GF/60, 40.4% GF%
without: 63.2 CF/60, 53.6% CF, 2.20 GF/60, 50.5% GF%


Yeh, Provorov has seen 60% of his TOI with AMac:

With: 51.51 CF/60, 47.2 CF%
Without: 58.94 CF/60, 52.8 CF%

Hextall acquires the snow, but Hakstol is in charge of how and when to deploy it.

I agree. That was the first of 7 things I've tried.
Pretty sure it's an issue on their side.
