Roster Moves: 2019/20 Roster Thread XXVII (Braun, Gostisbehere Surgery Out 3 Weeks; Friedman and Kase recalled)

Yeah dawg I never make jokes.

So you using hyperbole is ok because it's a joke but for others it's not?

Just want to make sure I understand the ground rules.

I can think of someone who says that, quite frequently tbh.

Of course teamates matter, but Ghost is having a terrible year. Is it all usage?

I already posted, with little research and advanced stat checking i fully admit, but based on some quick reading Keith Yandle still managed to pop up 47 points from the bottom pair and 2nd PP unit under AV

I doubt anyone has accused Yandle of being a true top pair dman, yet somehow our very own "top pair" Ghost is being sunk by AV?

I think there's a little more to the situation than Ghost is being f***ed over by AV imo

Ghost ISN'T having a horrible year. He isn't getting points. There IS a difference.

2016/16 is the only year Yandle had 47 points, so I assume that is the year you are talking about. Now look deeper into that year:

Yandle LED the NYR in ES TOI.
Yandle tied for 4th in ES TOI/game at 17:18. The 3 above played 17:28, 17:48, 17:49. That is the epitome of rolling all 3 pairings seeing how that had 5 Dmen play within 17:18-17:49 a game. That's a 1 shift difference. So does 1 more shift make him go from a 3rd pairing guy to a top pairing guy?

No idea who his most common linemates were, but that would be an interesting fact to see.

Yandle played BY FAR the most minutes on the PP that year....a year where he had 22 PP points. So those 47 points were propped up by the PP points. At ES, he tied Kevin Klein for top spot with 25. McDonough had 24.

So what Yandle was that year, was the Dman who had the most PP TOI, the most ES TOI, and most total TOI. Is that Ghost this year? Or last year? No.

The situations are not comparable at all.

For emphasis

Ghost ISN'T having a horrible year. He isn't getting points. There IS a difference.

What? We've entered the Copacetic Goofin' Around Time section of today's Me 'n Striiker Argument Hour, the actual back-and-forth is over.

 

[Striiker]

If I remember correctly, Striiker went on a 2-week hunger strike when Lidstrom was inducted to the HOF before Ghost was, and who can forget this classic quote from him:



As for the third point...I mean is that a hyperbole? I feel like that's not an entirely inaccurate characterization.

The key giveaway that you're remembering incorrectly is that the only thing less likely than Striiker voluntarily passing up a meal is Striiker buying a Robert Hagg jersey.

Striiker is more of a "get caught committing arson" kind of guy than a "hunger strike" kind of guy.

 

[bennysflyers16]

Striiker I'm gonna @ you


@Striiker



I presume, of course, this is over your bizarre and unhealthy obsession with nickels.

This was the Theme for Saturday Nights Main Event too

[Rich Nixon]

Hopefully this isn't a "back in three weeks for one week, then out for the season" scenario.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

 

[freakydallas13]

Stizzle meltdown incoming.

 

[flyersnorth]

Did you by chance forget to post the follow-up tweet that said Frost was also called up???

Because right now, I only see one of two scenarios happening -

Laughton and Raffl as 3/4C....

Or G goes back to C for a spell.

Not a fan of either.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Hopefully this isn't a "back in three weeks for one week, then out for the season" scenario.

Well the good news is that this is the Flyers and their training staff so they'll probably just soak him in an ice filled bath tub and oh shit who am I kidding this is the Flyers there isn't good news to be had

 

[FlyguyOX]

I thought Friedman played well last night, all things considered, even playing very well at times.

 

[Tripod]

The only positive, is that we have a 8 day break during that 3 weeks.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Yeah dawg I never make jokes.

 

[Striiker]

Three weeks from now or three weeks from the surgery...?

NOT FROST?????????????????????????????????????????

 

[FlyguyOX]

He was outchanced, but they weren't quality chances for the most part:

 

[landsbergfan]

Three weeks from now or three weeks from the surgery...?


NOT FROST?????????????????????????????????????????

Three weeks after funeral services are arranged

 

[Striiker]

Three weeks after funeral services are arranged

 

[landsbergfan]

Damn...that was his last chance at the NHL

...until his next one

 

[landsbergfan]

Can we get a script made to auto-like any baby yoda content?

 

[Beef Invictus]

NOT FROST?????????????????????????????????????????

It's important our possession oriented playmaker learn that possession, controlled entry, and actual playmaking must take a back set to flinging the puck around aimlessly.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Doesn’t say Morgan Frost...

[FlyerNutter]
