GDT: #50: FLYERS at Rangers, Tuesday, Jan. 29, 2019, 7:30 pm ET

[Rebels57]

Should be a fun one. I wonder if Hart plays again tonight.

They announced that Stolie was starting before last nights game.

 

[Garbage Goal]

Today officially marks the lowest point in my whole life so I’ll be pulling out liquor for a team that’s equally depressing for me.

 

[deadhead]

They need to play Stolarz, and maybe even give Lyon a look-see in March, just to know what they have going into June.

Well, that's the spirit.

Good luck to you

Sorry to hear youre going through a tough time. Hang in there dude.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Hey guys, quick question, will this game be simulcast on the local comcast network and blacked out on NBCSN?

I am a cord cutter living in the KOP area who has NBCSN but not the local sports networks.

Gord Miller and Pierre McGuire call the game on NBCSN. In the Philly area that is the primary option to watch the game.

 

[bennysflyers16]

Win today, only 10 back

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Stolarz and Georgiev are the expected starting goalies. The first post has been updated.

Elaborate.

 

[klutch]

Gross Rangers lineup. Shattenkirk is a 3rd pair guy even on that team??

 

[Fight4yourRight]

We'd be miles ahead of these bums if not for Hakstol and co. willfully sabotaging, and aided by our circus in goal, early this season.

Another backup!

I just threw up a little in my mouth.

I just threw up a little in my mouth.

I can visualize it now.

 

[Magua]

I just know Hakstol would've played Hart today. Bless his heart.

The night is significantly brighter before the dawn. Its darkest when the sun is furthest from the horizon.

With that said, @Garbage Goal : I went through my rock bottom real recently, and i'm willing to wager you're a better man than I. Keep pushing, you'll get better. Kick major ass, Mr Garbage

 

[Garbage Goal]

Elaborate.

You can just skip to the first and last paragraphs if you don't want to read it all.

Following a three year long struggle with suicidal tendencies, major depression, and attention deficit from 18 to 22 I worked very hard for a very long time to get back into life. Got a BS in Psychology with a 3.98 GPA and magna cum laude honors whilst working full-time, and sometimes full-time and part-time, in very labor intensive and straining as well as low-paying fields. Rose up to management during that time, albeit still low paying. Had the ultimate goal of helping people with mental illness due to it having so much meaning to me and being told how good I am at it by many people, both professionals and sufferers.

The rest of the whole story, as this is as much cumulative as anything else, would take up essentially a whole chapter of a legit novel so I'll just summarize it despite it leaving out the true insanity and impact of it all. Within the last 14~ months I have been screwed over by my one and only friend of ten years, an uncle, and a landlord (as well as some bad luck, such as having like six flat tires in the span of 6 months for example) which, altogether, caused me to lose upwards of 20 grand, have to move back to my home state, and drop out of my first semester of grad school. Since then, which was back in June when I moved, I've had two jobs. First job was working in a lockdown facility with a 96 percent employee turnover rate dealing with developmental disabilities and behavioral disorders. High stress job, but what ultimately decided me leaving was two injuries in the three months I was there with the latter one being a concussion.

Then I got hired on at an Amazon facility under a staffing agency for peak season. Posted production that was about 200 percent to plan and consistently within the top 25 percent of performers. Also offered process improvement redesign and rate aggregation ideas freely. My first month there I had a sinus infection for an entire month and this is coming off of my concussion, then I was rear-ended on the way to work and suffered car damage and whiplash, and then I had appendicitis three weeks ago. I had to have my appendix removed. Doctor's orders are two weeks off work and four to six of light duty. Submitted the paperwork and just got an e-mail saying I was released from assignment out of nowhere. Mind you I was assured this wouldn't happen by everyone, I am not getting paid for this time missed as it was a temp-to-hire position technically, and I have an ER bill coming my way now. Also, you need 320 work hours accrued to convert to a full-time Amazon associate, which would cover my absence. I reached 320 hours, but I crossed over the threshold literally on the day they were doing new hire orientation so I missed conversion by one f***ing day.

I know that is already long, but trust me that's the short version. I'm skipping over a lot of bad luck and a lot of personal betrayals in the last ~14 months. In the last ~14 months I've been screwed over by my landlady, best friend of 10 years, an uncle, moved states twice, lost about 20 grand, and had to drop out of grad school. In the last three months I've had a concussion, a month long sinus infection, a rear ending and whiplash, appendicitis, and two different jobs. So now I'm unemployed, recovering from appendicitis, and suffering another financial setback. You cannot fabricate my life, honestly. I was also looking into doing charity work and getting back into grad school as soon as I converted over to an Amazon associate. Guess not though.

 

[Curufinwe]

Hopefully another good dman doesn't get nicked in warm ups or we'll be down to 5 guys with two of them being MacDonald and Folin.

Stay strong my dude. You will bounce back on your feet. I believe in you!

What are the odds that Stolarz gets the shutout, Hart deserves?

Western society focuses far too much on work. Try to make it something you simply have to go and do for 8 hours and get out. I’m a nurse and any kind of caregiver job is such high risk for burnout. It’s a field that I truly wouldn’t recommend, and I’d suggest to get out of yours.

Rough patches happen, but they don’t last forever, even if it sometimes feels like it. Thanks for sharing, and make sure you get outside as often as you can. Helps.

Ghost out again and STILL no Myers.

This is why signing Folin was bad.

It helps to just imagine a day, sometime in the near future, where McDonald and Weise are being led off by a couple of Flyers staff onto a spaceship platform. The two players are wearing matching and equally silly POG helmets, and are being comforted softly by the staff that they were just being shipped to another NHL team in style and poste haste, in recognition of their contributions. But instead, they get shoved into the cabin, the door slams shut, and they're blasted into the sun with no further fanfare.
