Hayes is about to pot a hat trick because he’s beautiful.

OH really? I just assumed it was a home and home b2b.

My bad.

You idiot.

Hoping Hagg sits and we see Friedman play.

Anyone know how long Gostisbehere will be out for?

 

[Rebels57]

Now, now, threatening to hold your breath until he plays Frost only makes AV more stubborn.

I’d like to see them dress Frost, but I don’t realistically see AV sitting any of his forwards to do so.

What I would like though, would be for them to see if they can package Laughton & Hagg for a veteran upgrade on D that is on an expiring contract. But I’m not betting on it.

THIS IS THE WAY.

Use Laughton to improve the D and replace with Frost.

I like more division games and the first 2 rounds being within the division. The hatred is soothing.

If it were up to me, the NHL would go into 21-22 with four 8 team divisions and the schedule would be:

6 vs division opponents 42 games
2 vs two other divisions 32 games
1 vs the remaining division 8 games

Playoffs would be 1-4 & 2-3 in the division with the winners playing the 2nd round for the division final

The final 4 would be seeded by points and play 1-4, 2-3 in the semis with the winners advancing to the SCF

And finally, here are Commissioner BiggE’s divisions

CAN/AM
Calgary, Edmonton, Minnesota, Winnipeg, Toronto, Buffalo, Ottawa, Montreal

ATLANTIC
Boston, NYR, NYI, Jersey, Philly, Pittsburgh, Washington, Carolina

CENTRAL
Florida, Tampa, Nashville, Dallas, St Louis, Columbus, Detroit, Chicago

PACIFIC
Seattle, Vancouver, San Jose, LA, Anaheim, Arizona, Vegas, Colorado

Gus mic'd up video for Flyers intrasquad scrimmage. Players said Wisdom was good. Cool Video.

Lets Go!!!!!!!!!!!

What kind of value you think Laughton has?

 

[Muddy Wilbury]

Interested to see how the mini series go around the league. Winning back to back game against the same team is not easy, but will be what determines a division winner.

The Sens have Winnipeg coming up for three in a row. They will be killing each other by that 3rd game

Great post.

Let's Go Flyers!

Strongest team we've had since 2010. Need to figure out whether Braun is the right guy next to Provorov. Would love for a Ghost resurgence, it sucks that he had a covid setback. Gus had some mishaps defensively but getting us 2 goals from the point early makes up for those that game. Hopefully he tightens up while still being able to provide some good shots on net from the point.

Farabee breaking out? Over/Under 50 points this year? I'm feeling the over if Giroux-Hayes-Farabee keeps clicking

Nothing to figure out, Braun is wrong. Braun and Hagg are always the wrong answers.

 

[tictactoe]

someone punch Letang in the face in the end of the game...

Edit: hell punch him in the face at the beginning too.

 

[Gert B Frobe]

The strategy against the Pens should always be to have someone antagonize Malkin. He becomes an ineffective idiot when angry. Same with Letang. With Crosby I suggest to be really nice to him. Help him up, call him buddy, tell him he's playing great, nice shot! ect...

What’s wrong with mid-game and between periods?

between periods is a felony. probably?

 

[deadhead]

Here's a heretical thought, maybe between Yeo and Gus, Hagg can be a solid 3rd pair D-man this year.
His problem isn't physical skills (average skater, good size, good offensive skills) but the mental part, chases hits, gets caught out of position, not good at outlet passes, etc.

Yeo seemed to have calmed him down last year, but the pairing with Braun was less than optimal.
Watching him with Gus (who he practiced with in Sweden), Hagg was getting rid of the puck quickly and I didn't see him wandering off as much. And Gus is a gambler who needs a conservative D-man to CYA for him.

Just something to watch the next few games.

I think Braun at this stage of career is a step slow. Don't think he is the answer. But good to have for depth. I like the element Gus brings to team. I'll sacrifice the defense for that offense. Sees the open ice very well and outlets to forwards were impressive. Defenseman are so hard to get.

My god he's annoying... though, that's pretty much me on the ice. Never shut up but never say anything of substance.
