You cannot remove the veteran brilliance and poise that is the Manning/Gudas pair from the lineup. For if you did, empires would crumble, angels would lament and the fragile mind of Dave Hakstol would implode.

Thanks for the disclaimer. I should add one for my posts as I've gotten caught with this recently. I'm leaning towards declaring that all my posts should be considered sarcasm unless otherwise stated haha.

I guess I should just be happy hagg is getting in. He deserves it as I thought he was a solid contributor this year. Man, this series desperately needs a healthy morin to provide some jam on the back end.

I'm really looking forward to some dead weight leaving this offseason, which will open spots for some young players on d and the bottom 6.

#1 thing I want to see tonight is a team giving it their all and playing smart hockey. No bull poop penalties, no rolling over, no complete disarray. Give us 100% effort and finish this game with everything on the table. If they do that we can wake up tomorrow getting ready for game 6 or at least ending the season with worthy effort. So far it’s been very disappointing. Pens are on another level. The flyers are also on a another level so far. One that is below what they are capabale of, win or lose.

J Cole new album today.

Kanye announces LP drops on June 1 then a week later a collab album with Cudi drops. They call themselves Kids See Ghosts.

DAMN. wins the Pulitzer Prize for music.

Good omens?

Probably not, 6-2 loss incoming.

I hope this is 25% of the rosters last game as a Flyer. That is pretty sad.

Good luck Hextall.

At least we'll get to see tonight if scratching a younger player for a month helps development.

The good news: Started work on my new cd last night, got down the basic guitar tracks and lead vocal tracks on 4 songs.

The bad news: Well, we still have to play the (frank)ing Penguins tonight.

Of course, the Bruins beat the Leafs without Bergeron. If I didn't hate the Leafs as much, if not more, than I hate Boston, I'd be even more pissed off about it.

Honestly, if Hextall isn't going to fire Hakstol, I hope he sends him a big (frank) you by not re-signing Manning and trading Gudas. Dear Lord, let me see this D for 18-19:

Provorov-Hagg
Sanheim-AMac
Morin-Ghost

Ghost can move up to the top pair on 4 on 4 situations and when you are looking to generate more offense and Morin can pair with AMac for the PK. And, if Hak wants a RH shot so badly, Myers can replace AMac by mid season!

I have to believe that this is the plan and that 2 years from now these pairs will be old news.

My problem is that I feel like, except for Morin's injury, 5 of those 6 should ALREADY be playing. And if Morin was healthy it would be all 6.

Hockey is hockey. Sure the level and speed are faster, but in the end its the same game.

As I said, punishing a player for his youth even if he is playing better than the vet is counterproductive.

it is interesting or scary throughout the playoff drive and now playoffs the one defensive pairing that wasnt touched-Gudas/Manning.

Interesting summer coming up indeed.

Exactly. At this point, Provorov and Ghost are veterans and you'd still have AMac at the start of 18-19 too. Hagg and Sanheim both will have a season of NHL hockey under their belts, and even Morin, while still a rookie, will at least have played 3 pro seasons. There is no reason or need to bring back Manning, or to not explore trading Gudas in the offseason.

Torts is a douchey guy, but I do admit to loving it when he publicly lays out Larry Brooks.

Larry Brooks is a garbage writer and deserves everyone's scorn.
