I know hextall will be patient with this team and try to build it the right way but he has handed out some bad contracts so far....Gudas, Coots, Weiss, Schenn, Vorachek
- Williamc5468



The only contract in that group that might wind up as a bad contract is Weise.

Game isnt just plus minus..even more when you have two goalies that have been average at best this season..plus were Jake and G producing when they signed those deals..

Nevermind..its all terrible

- opeth_pa

Goalies haven't been great but our D isn't exactly the best either. Stolarz should've played more when he was up.

Lol at Desjardins having better gap control and stepping up at his own blueline better than AMac
- Mononoke



Lol You cant.comment on an Alumni game without taking a shot at MacDonald. Sad.

Simmonds, provorov, ghost, konecky, I like Vorachek too just overpaid. We have cap problems & the team is a bubble playoff team at best. Most teams up against the cap are cup contenders. It's frustrating right now.

The Flyers cap situation moving forward is not a problem.

We dont know yet if he is going to survive the hit you have out on him.
- MJL


he should be used to playing in the defensive zone, that's where he spend 70% of his shifts.

Have any stats to back that up? MacDonald played another solid game today, and was one of the Flyers best players in the game.

Show me a stat that says he spends 70% of his shifts in his own zone? That is the statement you made.

I also keep track of it with a timer. It is actually 66%. Calls into question your methodology.

Meet me at the Ritz-Carlton Moscow, and we can further discuss this.

I have a 5% margin of error due to bathroom breaks and walks to the fridge



I will after MJL attempts to defend McDonald's horrible on-ice shot attempt metrics.

I can't wait until he has a low on ice shooting % for a few months and Hakstol scratches him and tells him to play more reliable. (frank)er will learn to play safe and steady one way or another.

As is custom, he will first need to play 40 games with MacDonald before graduating to real partners.

Trial by fire, if he can succeed with AMac, he can succeed with anyone in the NHL.

Before they can become reliable in all 3-zones, their will must be broken.
