Just remember that, win or lose, positive or negative, Jake 100%, absolutely, defintely, without a doubt subjects himself to every single post game thread on here.
Are you honestly asking this?
Of course it's fine to criticize any player. Or want to trade a guy if the trade makes sense. I have been on the "trade Simmonds" train for a few year despite not having many passengers.
It's when people LIE. It's when people ONLY go after the players who are usually the best.
There is a reason JXC got a reputation after years of saying Giroux is a bad leader.
There is a reason Jtown got a reputation after year of saying Couts is only a #3C.
etc...
And please note, they BOTH have valid opinions on other things. But when you say dumb **** over and over, for years on end, expect others to bash you and not give you as long a leash.
Saying you would trade Ghost for Nylander if you think WN would help the team more, is fine
Saying you would trade Ghost for Nylander because Ghost has the most giveaways every game and +/- proves it, is not.
see the difference?
Excellent point.Also these reputations would likely go away if the person would just bite the bullet and admit they were wrong.
Where to start.This was Hakstol/Hextall hockey, gritty, fast paced, defensively responsible with forewards backchecking.
Sorry most of you don't like it.
Flyers absolutely dominated a hot team, and a hot goalie. If Lundqvist wasn't on his game it would have been 7-0 or worse.

Why does Weise play? Maybe because he was the best Flyer on the ice this afternoon?
He's playing like the guy Hextall thought he signed two years ago. Aggressive on the forecheck, gets back on defense and crashes the net.
Yes, Provorov and Hagg struggled, but it's Provorov pulling down Hagg, not the other way around right now.
Ghost had 3 bad turnovers, otherwise he was fine.
Sanheim actually had more 5x5 TOI than Hagg.
Folin isn't pretty, but he's consistently effective.
Goul played 6 minutes, he was there for "protection," some of the Rangers were looking for trouble.
Lindblom has been struggling, but I have no argument for anyone who thinks Simmonds gets too many ES minutes.
This is the way the Hakstol offense is supposed to work, get it down low, look for the pass in the slot, if it's not there, get it out to the point and crash the net, set screens and look for rebounds.
I say it time after time.Where to start.
If this was Haktall/Hextall hockey, how come we rarely play like this?
Weise was not the best player, but played well. But we all know it's not sustainable. But he has 100% been better this year vs years past.
Provy/Hagg Provy has made more mistakes so far this year than all of last year it seems. I noticed you forgot to mention Haggs bad pinch that led to a 2-1 against us. Honest mistake I am sure.
Sanheim SHOULD play more than Hagg. Nice to see Hak doing what he should have been doing all along. Even if it's for just 1 game.
Goule...he didn't add squat.
Now to this: "This is the way the Hakstol offense is supposed to work, get it down low, look for the pass in the slot, if it's not there, get it out to the point and crash the net, set screens and look for rebounds"
Hmmm....weird that our 4 goals were all scored off the rush.
Hold up...Where to start.

It's his opinion, so it can't be wrong....oh wait.Hold up...
You didn't think Weise - who accomplished nothing - was better than G, Couts, or TK? The guys who won this game and had 3 points each?
That's odd...
Yup, Weise isn't a problem at all right now.It's his opinion, so it can't be wrong....oh wait.
But I do give Weise for having a good game. If he played like that every game ON A LOWER LINE, he would not get crapped on. This year he is at least getting chances and seems faster. Must be eating lots of oats and carrots!
But ultimately, he is not better than G, JVR or Lindblom at LW. Or Laughton for that matter but I will take Laughton at C to have Lehtera removed. I just get confused when I see that Weise had more ES icetime than Konecny. But that's on Hak, not Weise.
You should be safe, both because I am stuck in East But****k Egypt, and also because I would never touch beet juice.
Was gone this afternoon heard we won so came on here to read the last few pages just to see how people summed up the game . it's nice to see everybody getting along so well .lol yikes
50% of me wants to meet you. 50% of me doesn’t want to meet you...
Wtf are you doing in Egypt? What’s next? Siberia?
Not actual Egypt - East But****k Egypt, ~50 miles outside St. Louis.
you enjoying the cold?Not actual Egypt - East But****k Egypt, ~50 miles outside St. Louis.
you enjoying the cold?
lol...overalls. People still wear those???????????It's so ****ing sweet. My dad was trying to tell me how cold it gets out here and I was going on about like "I want it to just hammer us and nail us so hard, I want us to just get drilled as hard as possible ..." Let's just say my dad is not a huge fan of accidental meteorological homoeroticism (not that there's anything wrong with that).
It will be even better once I have some money and can go buy some new winter clothes. I bought a coat the other day and a Flyers toque, but otherwise I am using clothes I found in a box, and they are all at least eight or nine years old and pretty tattered. Oh, I also used my Amazon gift cards to buy some Timberland boots and they just came today. I'm drawing the ****ing line at ****ing overalls, though - I had to say in no uncertain terms that I didn't want any for Christmas. You know those ****ers cost like $70 and up? ****ing farmers, man.
Him and Read, if I remember correctly?People forget Weise was a top 2 forward on the team two seasons ago.
This is what post game talk should look like.This was Hakstol/Hextall hockey, gritty, fast paced, defensively responsible with forewards backchecking.
