Post-Game Talk: #48: FLYERS 5 at Canadiens 2, Saturday, Jan. 19, 2019, 7:00 pm ET

[Magua]

Playoff push is on. We’re buyers now, baby.

 

[trostol]

wonder if Ghost is falling out of favor with the organization

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

The arena house band should have been the first star tonight.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Cap'n, you know I love you like a brother ... even though I have very little knowledge about who you are beyond representing yourself as a talking cat that is both a cartoon and imaginary in that cartoon.

But I cannot agree with you here and remain true to myself. The silent 'e' is a modifier of the previous vowel. I would put forward my premise that it would convert the sound of a single 'i' or of a million in sequence. Much like we can capture the exuberant announcement of a Latino soccer PBP guy as: GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL.

That being said, I don't think either Strunk or White have my back on this.

I understand your assertion, Bern, and obviously respect your grasp of the editing side of this and would agree with you in a different setting. But here on social media, we have to flex the "rules" linguistically so that people "hear" what they see. If posted as "fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiire," the "e" can't support the long "i" long enough to carry your "sight" into "hearing" it as a long "i" - when you see it written like that, you either hear "fur," as if it were a string of short "i"'s, or Alabama "fire," i.e. "far"

It's one of these situations where you sacrifice the grammatical legitimacy in order to "make music" with words, as it were. Just my opinion, obviously, but I do feel strongly about it. I mean, not an "angry" strongly or anything, just a "convinced" strongly, as it were.

 

[wankstifier]

Was Gostisbehere hurt?

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

They were better than Nickelback.

 

[Magua]

Trade him and Jake for Puljujarvi.

 

[TCTC]

wonder if Ghost is falling out of favor with the organization

Hopefully not. But if there's one defenseman they may consider trading in a big trade, it's probably him.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

So basically Hart saved their ass again?

100%

 

[hatcher]

wonder if Ghost is falling out of favor with the organization

Should. Don't need him with a trade coming and better for the role he plays.

 

[wankstifier]

I believe that this team can go 30-3

 

[baudib1]

There was a stretch in the first period where the defensive pairs were totally jumbled up and Ghost wasn't on the ice for a long time. There was Provorov - Hagg, Sanheim - Gudas and then like Provorov - MacDonald. Maybe Ghost had an issue or maybe he got benched for a while. He ended up with two assists and provided a screen on one of the goals.

 

[bennysflyers16]

Waive Torgo
Send down Varone
Trade Raffl

Call up kids for new look fast 4th line

 

[Danko]

You missed the Rat's Patootie Day we held in 2007 on HF. It was extensive. We had a variety of promotional material ranging from frisbees to T-shirts. Even Ken Linseman got involved. This is sarcasm.

 

[baudib1]

Waive Torgo
Send down Varone
Trade Raffl

Call up kids for new look fast 4th line

Yes. I want all the kids. Right. Now.

Twarynski*-Bunnaman(Vorobyev)-Bailey on 4th line
Myers, Morin and Friedman on D

Can be replaced by any of Rubtsov, Vorobyev, NAK, Kase when they get healthy.

 

[Bruckuss]

So amidst the Hart show, saw a random photo on FB with a friend of mine sitting next to Ms. Frost at a local OHL game. It reminded me that as well as Hart, TK and NP have played as of late - we still have MORE top end talent to come! Future is bright my friends

 

[wuf]

We can't look past that first period. I'm glad Hart is rising to the occasion, but we need to be there for our goalie. We also need to bury those pucks. This game could have been more like 7-2 if pucks weren't bouncing so much. Amac is still out there, please get his ass off the ice.

 

[baudib1]

I was thinking there's never been a time when the Flyers had so many near-NHL prospects at a time when they could afford to have them all make mistakes and fail.

Except for those times in 1984-85-86 when they did that and went to the SCF and led the league in points and stuff like that.

 

[Beef Invictus]

So basically Hart saved their ass again?

He saved the entire ass.

 

[SaSaShi]

Thank you.

Hmmmmm.... so I think that he will not be rookie next season. Bad. :-(

Who really cares if he’s a rookie or not. What people need to realize is the flyers may have FINALLY found their all star caliber goaltender for the next decade or so. He could end up being the BEST player for the team going forward. Just think about that for a second the flyers BEST player could be their GOALIE.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

They were better than Nickelback.

Their rendition of Born To Be Wild had me going from 0 to 60 in no time.

Way different time. Those kids had the it factor and most of this teams kids dont

It’s not like Ghost has no value but Myers is ready. If Fletcher wants to go big in the trade department, Ghost would bring a good return. If Fletcher is going to make smaller moves, then Hagg could be gone.

 

[baudib1]

Way different time. Those kids had OT and most of this teams kids donr.

OT?

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Missed the game, but it looked like a good road win tonight. 2 more for Patrick. Ho hum another well played win for Hart
