GDT: #1: FLYERS vs. Blackhawks, Friday, Oct. 4, 2019, 2:00 pm ET [at Prague, Czech Republic]

Absolute joke of a lineup, a random generator could put together something better

Might be one of the worst constructions you could come up with heading into camp and that’s what they picked. Cool.

Wasn't Myers officially assigned to the Phantoms?
And if that is the case, how can he even practice with the Flyers as he would have to report to LHV. I'm confused.

 

[AdamParrot]

You already knew Myers wouldn't be in the lineup, right? He's not on the roster and there are 7 dmen who are.

And what? Here is still Morin. And these pairs, lines are awful.

 

[Adam Warlock]

Absolutely horrible line/pair construction.

From what I have seen of Hayes...it seems like he likes to have the puck. Not sure how thats gonna work on a line with two play makers who also like the puck. Also dont like our only goal scorer on the 3rd line.

The D pairs are just gross.

 

[KrazyKat]

Hey does anyone remember when I said both frost and Farabee both wouldn’t make the team. And you all sat there roasting me! Yeah I remember that

What's wrong with the top 6? They look good to me.

Hayes is liking protect puck himself. Voracek too. G needs puck to do great passes. Who is shooter? Speeder? Why are together?

Oskar-Couts-TK is only one line which I like.

Just because a player isn't on the Flyers roster doesn't mean they have to immediately relocate to the AHL team. Especially when they are 4,000 miles away.

I was mislead by good old Sam C.



That sounds like their demotion was immediate. And even if their destination was more than a bus ride away, it would still mean that they were legally considered Phantoms' players for the time being. As far as I know farm team players can't just join NHL practice at their own will for CBA reasons.

The first post is updated from last night to include lines and PP units.

 

[deadhead]

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!

I will be there with Giroux home jersey from 2011-12 season!!

GO FLYERS GO!

Which else chants do I should use?

"Hit 'em when they're up, hit 'em when they're down."

Morin practiced with the Flyers in 2018 after he got hurt in the AHL when he wasn't on the Flyers roster.

You have to be on the roster to play in a game. Practice is not a game, not a game, not a game....

Chicago is in a similar position with Dennis Gilbert who is in Europe. He was demoted to the AHL on Monday of this week but could play in this game.

But here is Striiker with his dog, only 4 years ago.......

When you think about the term "sent down", it's obviously not physical.

Allentown is north-west of Philadelphia.

When Tampa "sent down" Martel' after he cleared waivers, he flew from Tampa Bay to Syracuse.

Quick Strikes: Lightning place Danick Martel on waivers

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss

...so far

 

[FlyerNutter]

Braun on the top pair.

Only Girardi could have seen that coming.

 

[deadhead]

And Q or Trotz would have done things differently?

 

[bauer]

Terrible lineup. It should fail but will probably win just to spite all of us.

 

[Foggy14]

It's hockey season!!!

I'm planning to be super positive ... for at least one period.

 

[Rebels57]

I was excited for this season up until a few days ago. Now I'm kinda dreading it.

I know there's going to be more management/coaching-caused roster-based frustration than I ever thought possible and I have no faith it'll be corrected in a timely manner.

Same shit every year. I really wanted to be hype and enjoy the Flyers again. I should have known better. f***ing f***.

 

[AdamParrot]

Hart in net.

Great!

The D pairs are just gross.

Every single forward line. Every single D pair. All f***ed.
