Patrick had a bad turnover that lead to the second Flames goal. TK made the same dumb play he's been benched before for. And Weise was out, I know he returned to the bench but he wasn't going to be used. Easier to shorten the bench? I'm not going to slam him for it this game.

Hak was riding a 10 game losing streak and he made the safer play. It's now to the point where even if he makes the play any of the coaches the crowd wants him fired for he's getting bashed.

I'm not bashing. The timing makes sense with Weise off the bench. The problem is, you have a three goal lead. You're taking the young guys out of game. I get Hakstol feeling the heat with a 10 game winless streak. The problem I have, you have a lot of hockey left in the season. How is he gonna do this? The kids have been benched in the third a lot in recent games.

skillset, physical ability, age, eye test is a pretty good start

Interesting. He has his skillset and physical ability before he came to NA. Age doesn't factor in there. Eye test said he was better off in the AHL to start.

I am sure the 6 preseason games you watched of him was the perfect measuring stick

Did he get in 6? That's shocking.

I remember him scoring that tip in goal early then never dressing again.

The NHL action I saw him in is the same NHL action everyone else saw him in, including the GM.

Everything is personal with you!

How he played in the NHL, albeit in lesser pre season action is far more relevant than how he played in two other leagues. I did not state that Linblom isn't NHL ready. I stated that he was better off starting in the AHL. From what I saw, I believe Lindblom could play in a depth checking role in the NHL now but again, keeping with my consistent focus on the future and what is best for the players development, I agreed with Hextall and the Flyers that the best place for him to start was to go the AHL and work on his offensive game. I don't know how he is progressing but I expect that at some point he will get promoted.

I can't tell if this beef is real. I don't think it is, but it's spicy.
