Sure I was just saying that three goals doesn't cut it but he is good at other things.

Here's to him heating up in the playoffs.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

You would think, but you would also think the coach would play a rookie when he flew his parents into town to watch him play...

An NHL coach isn't there for charity. His job is on the line. He's not going to play athletes based on whose family members are in the stands.

 

[FLYguy3911]

But he does play guys against their former teams and admitted so.

Not our coach so much. He seems to be impervious to job insecurity. That's a double negative, but so is he.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

3 in almost 30 playing with g. Some would get hung for that. Lol

He’s got 4 goals & 19 assists assists in his last 30 games. So 23 points in 30 games isn’t bad at all. Of course you’d like more goals but he was bound to cool off at some point there. He was shooting around 17% at some point this year.

You will defend him for anything.

Here's playing fine. I'm just saying playing with g you should have more goals that's all.

When it comes to Couts, I almost see any points he scores as icing on the cake, because when we finally get to the playoffs with our roster flush with some of this young talent, he is going to be our Guy Carbonneau, and because it's the playoffs, all of the things he does so well are going to be massively amplified. I just want him to keep chugging along and playing the way he always has, and just prepare himself to dominate in the playoffs when we are ready to go deep.

 

[Flyerfan4life]

everything about this game points to a win...

im even gonig to take the Flyers in the predictor..

but i suspect they will blow this game and lose, or get the dreaded Haktard single pointer...

 

[Jray42]

Is it bad I'm not confident we win this game? I think we eek it out, but I'm not writing this one off yet.

We seem to play down to bad teams too much

 

[Ghosts Beer]

You will defend him for anything.

You think an NHL head coach should make lineup decisions based on whose family members are in the crowd?
Come on, now.
I don't blindly defend Hakstol at all costs, and have criticized his decisions numerous times, but I will defend him from the ridiculousness of getting bashed because he didn't make a lineup decision based on a rookie's parents being in attendance.

 

[CapnZin]

I think I'd like to see them try Laughton at 3LW again.

Laughton needs to stay at C. His defensive game has rebounded significantly from his rookie year and so on.

NAK would be an obvious choice... but I forgot NAK is just a weird way to spell Lehtera or vet.

Funny enough our energy lines are our 1st and 2nd lines... they're also our scoring, defensively responsible, and checking lines. The bottom 6 is going to kill us in the playoffs.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

Since Feb. 1, Couturier has 18 points (4 goals) in 23 games and is +11.

Giroux has 27 points (12 goals) in 23 games and is +12.

Konecny has 18 points (8 goals) in 22 games and is +12.

Ghost has 20 points (3 goals) in 23 games and is +5.

Interestingly, Simmonds is -7 in his last 16 games; Laughton is -8 with 5 points in 23 games; and Raffl is -9 with 3 points in 23 games

Filppula only has 14 shots on goal in 23 games since Feb. 1.

 

[PHILOUDELPHIA]

So What team shows up the Feb flyers or March Flyers.

 

[onlylordsvsmorebp]

[PHILOUDELPHIA]

[TheKingPin]

Glad this one is in DET. Another winter storm coming to Philly.

 

[onlylordsvsmorebp]

Well What Kind should I get tomorrow?

Buffalo, Honey, BBQ,

YES.

 

[PHILOUDELPHIA]

YES.

You still didn't pick, your going to wind up making me get all 3 kinds and causing major wait times in the bathroom

i said yes to all three...i have never tasted one i didnt like but ill say buffalo. if i get more ill mix hot and sweet. like some buff and teriyaki.

 

[dats81]

Desperately need these points. Red hot Columbus is catching us in the standings!

 

[BackWithaVengeance]

Looking at the Blue Jackets and Devils schedule we stand a better chance against New Jersey I believe. Both are playing good/ great hockey but the Devils rest program is as tough as ours.

If the restive Panthers would stop winning ...

Brah, calm down. I was making a joke.

Good to know NHL coaches aren't making roster decisions based on who's parents are in the crowd.

 

[GapToothedWonder]

Also 5 out of these last 9 games are very winnable games. If the Flyers can take the 5 easy ones and 1 out of the 4 tougher games they are basically guarantes a PO spot. Their destiny is in their own hands against some very mediocre competition.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

There was this cheap grocery store close to my house in St. Louis. It was mostly a pile of ****, but they wanted to pretend they were a "superstore" like Walmart and everything else, so they had this buffet they stocked every day, an upgraded salad bar, basically, and you could grab wads of whatever and put them in styrofoam containers to take home. Most of that was a pile of **** too, but they always had these wings on there that were just amazeballs. The styro container I carried out of there was always heavier than it should have been, since I lived alone and my cats didn't eat wings lol but I couldn't help it - I just gorged myself on those beauts.
