Hak stole $10M from the Flyers, he couldn’t find something a little better than Oliver Garden?

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

I got u fam

Also, it was Olive Garden

I will tell you boys this. As unbelievably marrow-deep as Hakstok's fundamental stupidity is, he would NEVER have invited a pack of professional sportswriters out to eat if he had ever spent any time around any of them at all beforehand. We are talking about literally the biggest food slobs on the face of the Earth. If no one at that table lost a finger to sportswriter teeth, it is a miracle.

Hey, that Olive Garden is downright fancy eating in North Dakota. They even have non-beet items.

Seriously, Carchidi is so happy because it's a free meal and a step up from what he normally gums down.

I suspect Timmy was behind this meeting of the minds rather than Hak. Had to be a high-class Italian restaurant with plenty of Barolo on hand ... and bottomless breadsticks.

 

[FLYguy3911]

I don't think he's careless with his pinches...just useless with them

This aged well.

One day, after newspapers have finally heaved their final death throes, there will be zoos where people can watch sportswriters attack a buffet. It's incomparably disgusting.

I doubt Frost or Farabee suddenly made a quantum jump the last two weeks.

It's a timing issue, ideally Patrick is healthy, Laughton is the 4C and the kids stay in LHV until January or so. With Patrick out, the decisions become tougher.

At some point Farabee, Frost and Rubtsov should all be up this year, which is going to make the roster a tad bit crowded (Mr Stewart, I hope you brought your seat cushion with you).

But we're talking an undersized center with no pro experience, a 19 year old who's physically underdeveloped, and a oft injured center with a total of 35 games of pro experience.

It's not like any of these three are uber-talents who can just outskate their mistakes.
All three are the kind of players who will improve with experience.

So...this was said 1 week ago, and 2 days before Farabee was recalled.

Can you just say you were wrong? Or will you double down?

Of course not.

 

[Striiker]

Just further proof that it was a mistake to send those kids down.

They hit a couple posts and Myers had a bad game... so? It was still clear as day that they were the best possible options.

Nah man, those couple of games in Lehigh really got 'em ready for the NHL.

Funny how it’s just like with TK it went from “he’s a 4th liner who has shown nothing and should be in the AHL” to “Hakstol developed him into a top 6 forward” in a matter of days.

 

[Flyer lurker]

While I am one of the more pro Hagg guys on here, isn't it fair with a back to back that we can sit Hagg one game and see what Morin is?

Same Sanheim as a top 4. His 17 games of watching from the box and 13 games in the AHL really turned him around.

Maybe we should loan Stewart to the Marlies, and hell magically come back somewhat useful.

I worked with sportswriters all my life and I can attest to the truthfulness of this post.

We’re gonna wreck this league if Myers and Frost get here soon.

amen. Lindblom coots tk
JVR G voracek
Farabee Hayes Laughton
Patrick Vorobyev Raffl
Twar Frost Bunny

Stewie sporting cool 34 cf%. Just for comparisons sake Torgo had 45 lol.

Well the Marlies part might be tough but otherwise I’m down.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

Farabee's 3 goals and 4 points in 4 AHL games after going pointless in 4 NHL preseason games probably did absolutely nothing for his confidence, and the Flyers would have gone undefeated if he were up from game 1, even though the Phantoms went 2-2 in his 4 games.

 

[deadhead]

I think AV didn't want Farabee to debut on the road trip, in BTG, he tells Farabee to work hard and he'll be back quickly. Guess he meant what he said?
And they probably wanted a look at Bunnaman and Twarynski in game action, Fletcher told us players would be up and down from LHV, partially based on matchups.

Frost may be more a matter of defensive responsibilities, see the "Scheme thread" for an explanation.

Myers was given the #6 job and blew it, it was never about talent but attitude and focus. Some day we'll get the details, probably an interview with Myers in a couple years where he explains how he screwed up and learned from his mistakes.
