Once upon a time, wasn't Jeff Zatkoff a guy we all wrung our hands over because he didn't sign here?

Coots sucks.

Drafted wrong guy (again!).

Ghost was told to be a stay at home defenseman. Or else.

Or Duchene and Tavares.

Patrick's skating needs more work but I still think his overall skill set and IQ will make him the better player in the long run. Patrick's deft backhand sauce set up resulting in the Sanheim bomb was a prime example of what we have to look forward to.

You've accepted the reality that Sanheim makes the team?
- fls13



I don't think me accepting it has anything to do with it. I think he's making a very strong case and it has everything to do with his play on the ice obviously.

I believe that his injuries played a major role in his slow first half. But he also did have this quote, when asked about why his game was looking better:

"I decided to go out and have fun, make plays. I don't care if I get yelled at."

That's open for interpretation, but it sounds to me like Hakstol was trying to rein him in a bit and Ghost decided to push back and do what he needs to do.

Do you think the player won out over the coach? I think there are different kinds of risky plays. Creativity within the team structure is never going to be frowned upon by a coach. Poor decision making, unnecessary risk taking along with a breakdown in the fundamentals of playing the position will draw the ire of a coach.

I have one question. At what point between when Gostisbehere came up in the 15/16 season and made a ton of plays and racked up points and really was a huge factor in the Flyers making the playoffs and the 16/17 season did Hakstol all of a sudden decide he didn't want Gostisbehere to play his game?

He's got a great shot. He made Lundqvist look like a statue.

If he doesn't make the team out of camp, I'm going to be extremely disappointed.

I am very happy they put Sanheim in the NHL readiness microwave so he could be not ready last week but then ready this week.

It's like you're pulling stuff out of the air and making up your own narrative with zero evidence just to disagree because you "THINK" that's what happened.
