GDT: #60: Lightning at FLYERS, Tuesday, Feb. 19, 2019, 7:00 pm ET

No Myers? Go f*** yourself Gordo you turd.

Why is it so difficult for this team to make logical line up decisions?

 

[Strawberry Fields]

Who was 1-3?

Giroux (102 points, led league)
Malkin (100 points, second in league)
Voracek (91 points)

I almost hated to add Malkin, but he was 94 overall still and offered to me by the CPU around the 50 game mark for Bo Horvat (whom I had acquired a few years back as part of a deal for Simmonds and was looking to move on from soon), a prospect I didn't have much use for, and a third rounder so I felt like I had to take it. He was a rental anyway and I'm going for fourth straight Cup. There's obviously no way in hell Pit would ever offer Shrek to us, and obviously no way Vancouver would trade Horvat for Simmonds, either

Virtual Sanheim is probably gonna win his second straight Norris, after virtual Ghost won two straight himself.

 

[BiggE]

I just saw on twitter that Kucherov has 18 pts in 5 games.

FIVE!

Hmm, maybe McJesus isn't the best player in the world after all. Edmonton in shambles...well, frozen shambles.

Veterans are overvalued in the organization, and have been for some time. Where this thought process comes from I have no idea. Hak is gone, yet it remains.

 

[BiggE]

Thank God!

Yup, but Talbot then needs to start against the Habs. I don't want the kid making 5 starts in 8 days and the visa isn't an issue with the game being in Canada.

Utterly baffling and disgraceful. AMac is awful and Hagg is severely limited in every facet of the game.

 

[bennysflyers16]

No Myers tonight, Bailey back in. Great.

If HArt wasnt in, I would want a 10-1 loss. This f***ing dip shit behind the bench is a f***ing joke.

 

[Rich Nixon]

Girardi on the first pairing and yet they are dominating the league?

Well Victor Hedman's there too. Remember, this team reached the Finals with Matt Carle on the first pairing. I don't remember who his partner was, but I think it might've been someone pretty good.

 

[FlyerNutter]

Like choosing to drive your old Ford Tempo, when you’ve got a gorgeous new Ferrari in the garage.

 

[Rebels57]

Utterly baffling and disgraceful. AMac is awful and Hagg is severely limited in any facet of the game.

And both Hagg and MacDonald are under contract for next season.

RIP Myers and Morin - or they'll trade Ghost for a forward to squeeze one of them in and use the other as the #7.

This organization does not deserve success.

 

[FlyerNutter]

Utterly baffling and disgraceful. AMac is awful and Hagg is severely limited in any facet of the game.

Hagg, for all his faults is still young. At the very least, and even if the chances are low - he’s got a slim chance at some kind of improvement.

I’m just tired of thinking about and having 47 on this team. Cockroach.

 

[BiggE]

Utterly baffling and disgraceful. AMac is awful and Hagg is severely limited in any facet of the game.

Sadly, Gordon is basically Hak Jr. with slightly better communication skills. The best thing Fletcher can do for this team in the off season is to completely clean house when it comes to the coaching staff and actually bring in some folks with working brain cells.

 

[DaphneLion]

Fire Gondor!

 

[Rich Nixon]

I hear they're going to trade Claude Grou for Stinky Dave and two 7th round picks and then melt the Eagles' Lombardi Trophy to make silverware for Chip Kelly.

At least Gordon will be gone soon-ish.

 

[usahockey22flyers]

How is AMac still on this team...still in this lineup???

I guess I'm just glad Ghost isn't scratched...idk what to say

 

[bennysflyers16]

Seriously, Holmer, Hexy, Honk, Gordon, how can these 4 be so f***ing stupid when it comes to Farmer. This organization is pathetic with their loyalty to this guy

 

[FlyerNutter]

The funny thing, and I’ve tried to stay out of them for the most part, is regarding the Ghost discussions...

If someone told me that Ghost will be traded off of this team, and 47 is still a lock for the lineup - I would believe that.

 

[FlyerNutter]

Seriously, Holmer, Hexy, Honk, Gordon, how can these 4 be so ****ing stupid when it comes to Farmer. This organization is pathetic with their loyalty to this guy

I’ll bet my ass it has to do partially with the “A” on his jersey. Because, reasons.

 

[Branko]

I’ll bet my ass it has to do partially with the “A” on his jersey. Because, reasons.

A for asshole.

I gladly passed up 4 free tickets for tonight. f*** Gordon.

 

[dragonoffrost]

I’ll bet my ass it has to do partially with the “A” on his jersey. Because, reasons.

That A is 100% the reason. His teammates gave him that letter and now it's like a Scarlet Letter. Burning a hole in the roster.

 

[bennysflyers16]

Start Elliot please, and get embarassed

 

[BernieParent]

WHAT??? How could Gordon take MacDonald out of the lineup after that highlight-reel slide to prevent a near-sure goal against Detroit ... after he muffed a simple D-to-D pass in the first place.

 

[FlyerNutter]

I want to know who sits next to him on the plane rides, so I know who else to hate.

 

[deadhead]

Hart can handle the load, he's started almost 70 games in each of the last three years without injury.
He's very efficient, and doesn't make the extreme moves of some more athletic goalies because he's so good at positioning.

I don't think they want to showcase Elliott against TB, having to yank him after a period would not help his trade prospects!

 

[FlyerNutter]

Last rant for this AM, the leadership thing...

I have never seen the man speak a word to another player while on the bench. I bet he’s just guiding all of these kids behind the scenes and really helping them get adjusted to NHL life. I am sure this is exactly like Hakstol where behind the scenes he is Mickey Goldmill.

God how I loathe him.
