Head, I understand the point you are trying to make, and on a night like this, it's fine to make that point, I guess. But I want to make a very important point to you. It is something I have tried several times to make you see, and I am going to try again.
When Andrew "Farm Fresh" MacDonald has an average game, or a decent game, or a slightly good game, this average or decent or slightly good performance does not create a wormhole through which you can crawl to rewrite history. Congratulations to the man for not causing another catastrophe - I am sure I speak for all of us when I say "thank f*** for that" - but he is what he is. If we whip him when he doesn't deserve it, he is sure to earn that whipping lickety-split. The next Farm Fresh Catastrophe is always only a heartbeat away. So forgive me if I don't drape his forehead with olive wreaths or throw a parade after seeing him not implode for once. I'm not going to go out of my way to crap on him today, but I'm also not going to blame anyone who, employing anything more than the shortest and most selective of memories, does.

Love the win, but that could have gone either way.
I thought Ghost had a very good game.
Hagg was very solid.
It's been discussed a lot, but it's really fun watching G play with his old jump.
The fourth line missed Leier. Without him, Laughts was trying to do too much and looked less effective than in other games this season.
The second line misses Weal. But that was nice play by Flip on Simmer's winner.
Patrick, who has looked good playing the wall, got schooled by some big boys today. That'll happen. If I'm Hak I'm upping his, and Konecny's, minutes.

Funny how you didn't apply that logic to the goal scored against the Flyers on Thursday.

Head, could you do me a favor, please? If I send you a ticket, would you please fly to Bangkok and punch me in the throat instead of ever mentioning Ghost ever again? Thanks, buddy.
do you teach creative writing? drama? ESL? some kinda clever stuff getting thrown in here with all your boring shade.

I'm just naturally melodramatic. And boring.
You do just fine...good mix of all sorts of things a healthy board needs.

Congrats, you've now surpassed jtown in the most ridiculous axe to grind section of this forum. Keep reaching, my friend.

I hate this team
Quiz...who is saying this to themselves after reading the Couts stat:
"I never said he wasn't a good 3rd line C that could shut guys down. That's what he's good at"

A true accomplishment.
Even my intentionally hyper-exaggerated Weal bashing isnt as biased and inaccurate. When I'm consciously trying to be...
But Ghost was not one of Hakstols adopted children and he spoke out against the coach, so he will be forever bashed, meanwhile the blessed ones are eternally innocent of any failures.

Honest to God, I didn't rub my eyes as much when I had pink eye as I do when he starts going on about the Ghost phantasm he thinks he sees deep inside his mushroom fugue. I'm definitely going to go blind if he carries on.

I wouldn't hate the idea of Matt Read on a line with Patrick and Konecny. They could use a good 5 on 5 player. Weise is a 0 and I think Lehtera is cooked.
This is some hard stuff to understand...and I did well in English class
Do you mean...someone is criticizing Ghost without due cause? And it causes you (poetic) grief?
If so, I agree, without poetry. Ghost is more than holding his own on defensive assignments, and making game breaker type choices on offense, and choosing his spots very very well.

What I mean is that deadhead is deadwrong about Ghost. Always has been, always will be.

.@s_ghost14 collected his 11th pt. His 8-game start is tied for best by a #Flyers Dman in franchise history (Mark Howe, 2-9-11, 1985-86).

So I just got home from a wedding that I was a groomsmen in. I am bommmbed. Flyers won!!

Late goal by Simmer tacked onto Andrew's reliability and the work put in and the little things done and Mr. Hakstol's astute coaching saw us across the line.

Nope not today.
do we lose this game last year? I am going to go out on a limb and say yes.
5-3 after this 8 game stretch. Ill take it.

Oh yeah, it's very possible. VdV would have sunk us singlehandedly, for starters, because he would have been out against McBabyJesus.
BackToTheBrierePatch
Nope not today.
finding ways to win a game where you obviously arent at your best is a sign that this is a good team. A playoff team? who knows. but this group is better than the team we iced last year.
