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

Patrick playing with confidence looks great. Sucks we are off for 10 days now.

Couts on a 71 point pace with little help from the PP or depending on Giroux.

Hart has 12 starts, I believe he has been a top 3 star in 6 of those. Can someone confirm?

 

[Ghosts Beer]

Of note, Ghost only played 13:47, by far the least of the D.

They're learning.

Waive Torgo
Send down Varone
Trade Raffl

Call up kids for new look fast 4th line

Yep Bunnaman with NAK and Big T.

BTW Lyon stopped 49 of 51 shots. And Stopped 3 shots in SO for the Phantoms win.
Bunny scored again.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

So basically Hart saved their ass again?

Yes.

 

[BernieParent]

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.

Thanks, Cap. Let's just say we have the truth cornered between us and ...

This was a night where Ghost deserved little ice time.

MacDonald deserved 0 and all of it should have gone to Myers, but Ghost was poop too. That one rushed shot when he had all the space in the world to do anything but take a terrible shot was more Hoggy/MacDonaldy than anything Hogg or MacDonald did. That clawed at my soul. I expect far better from him; that kind of nonsense coming from him is worse when a gimp like MacD does it because he is capable of far more.

 

[BernieParent]

The good news, as well, is it seems that Simmonds is now worth the entire Nashville / Toronto / Boston farm system and all the 1sts of the 2019 draft.

 

[Embiid]

Fletch needs to sell Simmonds now and get a decent return …...this is his chance. Will flip if he resigns him.

He will trade him.

Carter Hart's intelligence, maturity, and innate leadership skills for a 20 year old are off the charts. I can't recall the Flyers having another rookie that age who impresses like he does in interviews.

Think Lindros was like that. He had been used to giving interviews since he was like 14, which helped.

Lindros was kind of monotone though in his interviews. I think I'm..I mean Carter is leaps and bounds better

Someone is trusting a new process now, I see.

 

[baudib1]

Fact:
Patrick and Hart playing well is more important to the future of this team than an 18% chance at Jack Hughes.

Carter Hart has "aroused" my curiosity in it at least …..

Or written another way, the 82% chance we don't get him.

There haven't been too many rookies at that age in the spotlight which in itself is a boost to characteristics of Hart. Dave Poulin had captaincy written all over him from day one though he was older and more experienced. Brian Boucher was older than 20 when he came on board but had the reputation for being mature at that point in time.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

Nah. Lindros mumbled and didn't show any personality in interviews. Always looked uncomfortable and like he wanted the interview to end. Hart looks like he's having fun in interviews.

But....adding the 'Huguenot" would be epic. Maybe they keep winning along with the other bottom dwellers and we retain a decent chance of still getting him.

This team has 11th overall pick written all over it.

Yeah, Hart physically looks like a little kid, yet speaks like a seasoned veteran (aside from his almost effervescent enthusiasm). Poulin was 24 or 25 and had spent 4 years at Notre Dame and a year playing professionally in Sweden before his rookie season.

 

[Foggy14]

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

I'm haunted by the thought of giving up on Ghost and getting a reasonable, but not great, return and seeing him with a club, with a really good coaching staff, that lets him lead the rush and releases him from the prison he's been in on the very, very far left corner of our under-achieving power play.

I'm worried that we'd feel like fools for letting him go before we had a real coach at the helm who might know how to use the skills we've all seen.

Boucher was a very mature interviewee indeed at a young age. Why now he is a good TV personality.

Well......it will be somewhat palatable if Hart and Patrick take off like rockets development wise.
