Photoshop is easy if you're just messing around with GIFS and stuff. it's the high end rendering that makes me want to blow my brains out.

Nope. Sanheim needs to be aware of who is on the ice there and keep his head up. He got worked on that play by a gritty fourth liner. If he wants to be a top 4D he needs to handle the physicality better.

Nice to have hockey (kind of) back.

He turned at the last split second. That’s on Sanheim and your completely right. Have a better plan than turtling and getting steamrolled

The two best places to visit at Christmas time are the Rockefeller Center and the Coffin.

Pass went behind him and he was turning to retrieve the puck. It was Folin who put him in a vulnerable spot.

I wanna see if you guys agree or disagree. Keep in mind, I’m aware it’s preseason and the coaching staff should be free to Experiment.

On the top Power Play, the umbrella being used I believe was T.J. Brennen at the top in Ghost’s spot. Patrick on the right half wall in Voracek’s spot. Konecny in Giroux’s spot.

Even before the Sanheim injury, do you not want the defenseman in the line up with the most offensive potential in Ghost’s spot? That being Sanheim in this game. Also, in the case of Konecny and Patrick. Didn’t Konecny play some right half wall time on the PP last season (maybe it was Weal) and wouldn’t Patrick be the most threatening in G’s spot? I’m basically asking why Hakstol wouldn’t switch the two forwards.

Am I off base?

Folin trying to ensure a spot for himself?

Sanheim to me has his head down and saw Martin bearing down on them even before the pass was sent over. Curious what the timetable to return is.

Too bad he was the worst pro level Flyer on the ice today. It was painful to watch him directly cause both PK goals, take countless bad shots, and fail to make a single pass it felt like. AKA deja vu. But that’s a top 4 depth chart guy and potential Ghost partner right there. (frank) yeah.

Myers was a monster though. Points to Rubtsov, Vorobyev, Twarynski too for better showings than others.

Hagg should not be in the top 4, maybe even top 6

Provorov-Ghost
Sanheim-Gudas
MacDonald-Myers

That's probably the best starting 6. I'd even consider Folin above Hagg. At least he's an acceptably below average puck mover who can make the odd pass and shows some semblance of puck poise. It's truly impressive in this day and age how poor a passer Hagg is, and he was like this in the AHL too. He takes an eon to make a read and get the puck off his stick, and when he does, it's wildly inaccurate and half the time goes for an icing. Everything is just slow with him. And in the o-zone, he has no poise and shoots it on net the second he touches it; players in front or not, distance be damned. He kills possessions in the offensive zone, and it's hard for him to get in the offensive zone to begin with. This coaching staff's infatuation with him is aggravating. Sooner he's out of the top 6 the better.

How did he even make to the NHL if that is an accurate description of Haag as a player? Why does Hextall keep him on the roster?
