GDT: #4: FLYERS at Flames, Tuesday, Oct. 15, 2019, 9:00 pm ET

Watch Talbot stone us

inevitable

 

[Tripod]

I get that every team gets a week off during the season, and since the season is about 30-some weeks long, somebody gets the week off right at the beginning.

But for the Rags, that’s ridiculous.

Honestly, with all the technology at their disposal, is this honestly the best they can come up with??

Really, no team should get a week off in October...or March/April. Too early is a waste. Too late and it's a possible advantage for the playoffs.

Member when Hak strolled into the crowd to collect some pre-game kudos? That was in Calgary.

That was the game Konecny, Patrick, and Sanheim were stapled to the bench in the 3rd period with a 3 goal league because bozo was "fighting" for his job.

There will never, ever, ever come a time when we should feel obligated to stop b***hing about that bastard.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

I don’t think Talbot is stoning anybody, unless he becomes a pot dealer, which he may need to pursue soon based on his recent play. At least he’s not far from British Columbia.

Pokémon Tournament Finals were in Calgary in 1980?

 

[Ghosts Beer]

LMFAO. The hatred of Hakstol runs so deep that he gets blasted for the classy move of greeting the team’s fans on a road trip. Not a healthy obsession. He’s gone. Move on.

 

[Flyotes]

Nah we have 29 back to backs to make up for it.

The thing about back to backs is they are super easy to win. No one is gassed or anything.

 

[macleish1974]

Could be. Plus he wiped out in the boards in the Devils game. That’s gotta hurt.

Honestly, he looked good in the preseason with Hayes and JVR/Oskar. But then, Lausanne happened and AV took out his Ninja line blender...

What is up with the bass clef......trombonist, bassoonist, double bass......just curious.....

 

[flyersnorth]

It's amazing how teams play games the day after some concerts with the pyro that some bands use. I'm specifically thinking of TSO.

I always enjoy the time lapse videos of changeovers from ice to basketball court, concert floor, etc. When I worked for the Sens, It was pretty neat to watch them while we rehearsed.

Multi instrumentalist, but I started on bass and it’s always been my favourite.

NHL schedule: Bye weeks for 2019-20 season

It looks like all the bye weeks are in January, so for the Rags, it just ended up as a scheduling quirk to have all this time off at the beginning.

Yeah but that is where common sense needs to step in and make a change.

To play 2 games....then 6 days off...then play 1 game...then 4 days off...is just crazy. To have that happen to start a season is just stupid.

Hak was out kissing some babies not far removed from getting big “Fire Hakstol” chants at the WFC nights before.

They don't call it the World's Most Famous Arena for nothing.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Welinski was waived today. He could be sent to the AHL if he clears.

Well he did coach our team like the captain of the Titanic with 4 years of endlessly smashing us into an iceberg.

I don’t think analogizing the Flyers’ rosters under Hakstol to the Titanic is apt.

We had enough top end talent to have some success, despite his considerable coaching deficiencies.

Looking at his tenure as a whole and considering his: system, ice times, player usage and development. His inability to make in game adjustments, bland and uninspiring persona, bizarre obsession with scrubs..etc...

I stand by my analogizing. It was a disaster and nightmare for us fans.

In case it’s not obvious GB, figuratively not literally..no one is suggesting he caused death on a massive scale.

In case it’s not obvious, OS, the Titanic was supposed to be the biggest, most indestructible ship ever built. A far cry from the rosters Hakstol “captained.”

Stewart signed?

[Hollywood Cannon]

Just wanted to remind everyone that no game will be occurring tonight again.

I now understand the point you were making. Fair enough, the talent wasn’t Titanic level. He still coached like he was aiming at the ice burgs though
