Post-Game Talk: #35: FLYERS 3 at Rangers 2 (SO), Sunday, Dec. 23, 2018, 7:00 pm ET

I love collecting cards and I'm increeeeeedibly wary of buying any box that costs over $100 in general. Especially $500+ per box stuff like The Cup, which is where the patch autograph card on the bottom left comes from

Exactly. It's really not even worth busting wax anymore unless you don't care what you get out of it.

I buy singles when I want something now, even new. I miss opening, but I'm not flushing thousands away for a few minutes of fun.

 

[wankstifier]

Damn, so smooth

 

[TheKingPin]

Nothing changes when you fire Jeff. The players need to be moved. It is their fault. Give Jeff an all-star roster

Later that month

Roller coaster Dave. It’s amazing he was brought in as a defense first coach. How embarrassing for him. Well at least he made millions off of it.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

I didn't get to see this one, but with the extended Colby hate, I can only assume he pointed out a Sanheim mistake.

 

[Outlaw Samurai]

What kind of name is "Boo Nieves"? That's ridiculous. Rangers are ridiculous.

Yes they are. Fitting he's on a dog shit team like the Rags.

@Captain Dave Poulin

I like that you're cooking (dumping) up (out) some Colby the turd gifs as only you can

My Christmas wish though, Santa Dave, is a Farmer-less Flyers team. So please concoct some AMac-get-the-f***-out gifs to bring an end to his permanent skid mark on our beloved Flyers.

Nothing too dark, just him devoured by demons or launched into the sun or drilled into the earth's fiery core..etc

Not just defense-first, but as a developer of NHL talent who constantly went to vaunted NHL future prospects like Valterri Filpulla, Chris Vandevlde, Pierre-Edouard Bellemare, Brandon Manning and Andrew MacDonald.

This guy was Chip Kelly Hockey Version. Came in with an expectation for one thing and then did exactly the opposite of what got him hired.

 

[Prongo]

That was my biggest issue with Hakstol. Schenn told the blues media he would get demoted and then promoted and not a single word would be said to him by the coach. For a guy who deals primarily with college kids, he didn’t know how to talk to young players? I get they are professionals but he should be able to talk to them still.

You can’t defend him or his coaching habits anymore. That ship has sailed and should be forgotten about. Bye bye Mr Hakstol. Forever.

 

[Outlaw Samurai]

Fantastic ! Lol

 

[Alex K]

Just watched the game. Here's three thoughts:
1) F***ing separate Provy and TS, that was painful to watch!
2) Send Couturier back to the 3rd line and move up Patrick.
3) G is life! He's the hero we don't deserve, but the one we need right now!

The guy was a moron despite whatever the anti-hive mind wanted you to believe.

For a guy who is a college coach, he's clueless on how to develop players.

 

[Rebels57]

Well, that win was certainly massive.

Yup just horrible. It’s kind of insane he made it as long as he did.

Gotta put blame on Hextall. He acquired and/or re-signed all of those guys except AMac.

 

[Mike1167]

Not having Steve Mason in goal anymore has really helped in shootouts.

 

[GKJ]

Hextall got them to fill some gaps. Hakstol is the one who saw them as core contributors.

I always said that some of Hakstol’s personnel decisions baffled me. But are you saying Hextall didn’t acquire Filppula to play as a 2C? Sign PEB & VV to play on the 4th line & kill penalties (which is how they were used)?

No he just sucks. I think the only thing he could say that the board would agree with is a MAC sucks

Moves are always going to be a gamble. He might have had the old change of scenery benefit. He had a promising start to his career, and while TB fans had completely turned on him by the very end, we all knew Streit was less than worthless anyway.

Were there some rumors about favors and scratching backs with TB around that time? I forget but it rings a bell.

I like him in that he’s the very rare analyst who will point out mistakes.

Someone wants Jack Hughes.

 

[DancingPanther]

Colby is @Magua's daddy

 

[kudymen]

I would like to appeal to Colby's authority, he has played 3 games in the NHL and I have none


Edit - just to make sure, I am NOT saying anyone on here is doing that..

 

[Magua]

Colby is @Magua's daddy

That makes Colby your granddaddy, bb.
