We getting a "Thank You" video package for Pebbles?

We getting a "Thank You" video package for Pebbles?

Yep, 43 seconds of 1 goal scored on a goal mouth scramble, 1 fight, 2 scenes of PEB stretching to almost touch a puck in the Flyers' zone, and consoling VdV with a shinpad tap while a PP unit celebrates.

 

[PHILOUDELPHIA]

Great Tune MSE, For those who haven seen my NYC trip visit the Menu pages 52-56 see all photos.

The Food is Virgils BBQ and Yes I'm a Lefty

here is a taste

 

[deadhead]

Who put this schedule together.

Just when they get their legs back (compare the Boston game when they died in the 3rd period to this afternoon), they get 4 games in six days, alternating home and away games.

Gary did. He's an ***hole.

 

[Winston Wolf]

If he gets one, Hyka better get one as well!

Lots of tears were shed here during those times. That was the beginning of the end for Holmgren.

 

[onlylordsvsmorebp]

Gary

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

 

[OccasionalPoster]

Think Ghost breaks out of his 7 game pointless slump here.

 

[MorgantiDrinksBlood]

It’s unreal how Sanheim makes AMAC look serviceable in his role. Fire Hakstok.(Sanhems been freed).

 

[marcsson68]

It will be interesting to watch what happens when Oduya or Hägg return.
.
I really understood why Sanheim was sent down but based upon yesterday's game it appears that he has learned his lesson. Less prone to costly mistakes. If this continues and Sanheim doesn't stay in the lineup I will join the Hakstol critics.
.
And if Sanheim stays with MacDonald, will Hägg become No 7? Or will it be Manning?

 

[bennysflyers16]

Hagg will,be back in over Sanheim so fast your head will spin. There is nothing Sanheim can do to stay in the line up,,, Manning ain't going anywhere either

 

[kudymen]

Sanheim learned one lesson and that is to play the same he did earlier this season.

The costly mistakes bullshit has been refuted so many times it makes my head ache.

 

[Rebels57]

Our playoff odds actually went down by around 1% despite yesterdays win.

 

[boxcar65]

Hagg will,be back in over Sanheim so fast your head will spin. There is nothing Sanheim can do to stay in the line up,,, Manning ain't going anywhere either

I don’t know. Even though Manning is greatly appreciated, I could see a scenario where Sanheim goes back with Gudas and #23 becomes the 7. I think it depends on how Sanheim plays the next two weeks. If it is like yesterday, he will force the coaches to keep him in the lineup.

 

[kelmitchell]

If he gets one, Hyka better get one as well!

What about sbisa? Lmao

We will be awaiting you when the inevitable happens

 

[marcsson68]

The costly mistakes bull**** has been refuted so many times it makes my head ache.

Well, personal mistakes were the reason he went down to as much as -11 on a team that ranged from +5 to +18 or so. While his strengths were visible from time to time, so were his too common mistakes.

I don't want to redo the discussion. We'll just see what happens and if he has improved that much that he earns his spot in the lineup. I wish for it.

 

[Striiker]

It’s unreal how Sanheim makes AMAC look serviceable in his role. Fire Hakstok.(Sanhems been freed).

He isn't freed. He's just getting yard time before being thrown back into his cell.

I don’t know. Even though Manning is greatly appreciated, I could see a scenario where Sanheim goes back with Gudas and #23 becomes the 7. I think it depends on how Sanheim plays the next two weeks. If it is like yesterday, he will force the coaches to keep him in the lineup.

No chance.

This horrible coach just playing Manning 20+ minutes last game. He's not healthy scratching him.

 

[nevermore]

Would be nice if Couts gets going again. 2 points in his last 8 games, no goals in his last 11.

 

[TheKingPin]

Would be nice if Couts gets going again. 2 points in his last 8 games, no goals in his last 11.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he had an injury. He’s not driving the net or even shooting that much. There have also been some heavy hitters that he has had to check in the last stretch. That’s the great thing about Couts though, he doesn’t have to score to be very effective.

I can’t see Sanheim get sent down if he plays like yesterday or better. Even the quotes from Hak are encouraging. Same can now be said for Lindblom.

 

[Adam Warlock]

I think as soon as Oduya can go Sanheim will be out of the line up. When Hagg is back, he'll be sent back down.

We have seen this song and dance too many times to think otherwise. Hak loves his vets.

 

[TheKingPin]

I think as soon as Oduya can go Sanheim will be out of the line up. When Hagg is back, he'll be sent back down.

We have seen this song and dance too many times to think otherwise. Hak loves his vets.

What we have seen are that vets are hard to displace. You have to wait for an injury no matter what. But once up they have more a chance to stay. The only thing is the emergency call tag. That could just be a cap benifit or something they are using. Oduya showed he is too slow. I think he remain the 7th. It is hard to see them putting Hagg in the ahl. I could see manning coming out.

 

[FLYguy3911]

If there’s one thing that takes precedence over vets with Hak, it’s keeping the lineup in tack after good wins.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Who put this schedule together.

Just when they get their legs back (compare the Boston game when they died in the 3rd period to this afternoon), they get 4 games in six days, alternating home and away games.

You always claim they're too tired to play when the Hakshell is in full effect, and the real issue is that our bad players are playing too much.


If conditioning is this abysmal, you should be bashing Hakstol for them not being in shape. Get on that.
