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

Kid comes in, plays well, is told he played well, then benched for 2 players that have played consistently worse. Such a long record of garbage coaches and player evaluators in this organization

 

[Domino666]

Maybe they had Myers up because they were working on a trade they thought was going to go through and Gordo’s explanations are just lip service because the trade fell apart, I don’t know I’m spitballing here, trying to make sense of the stupidity that is the great roster Fibonacci sequence became obviously its way too hard to figure out the best line up at all ever

 

[magnumpi]

Oh no, can't take mcdonald out of the lineup,,,,, never

So, Morin and Myers development will be held in limbo until Mcdonald's contract expires.
Or maybe they'll resign Mcdonald.

 

[bennysflyers16]

If 8 and 47 are both on team this time next week, and they truly believe not playing Myers is smart, clean house. Every coach, every manager, everyone above them. So f***ing dumb.

 

[Rebels57]

Just like i've never hated a Flyers coach more than Hakstol, i've never hated a Flyers player more than MacDonald.

 

[Glak18]

So what would be the ultimate Flyers lineup that would stop people leaking from their eyeballs daily?

Obviously Flyer players only.

 

[baudib1]

Give me Keefe over Q. We can't afford another season with a dinosaur. We have 25+ prospects we need to give a shot to over the next 3 years. FFS.

Myers should have become a regular in this lineup a year ago.

For the rest of this season?

• Myers in for MacDonald, ASAP.
• When up to speed, Morin in for Hagg.
• Ghost back with Provorov so Sanheim can move to the Left.

JVR - Giroux - Konecny
Lindblom - Couturier - Voracek
Laughton - Patrick - Simmonds
Raffl - Varone - Bailey

Provorov - Ghost
Sanheim - Gudas
Hagg/Morin - Myers

Hart
Talbot

Pretty simple.

 

[Freddy The Fog]

No, they're gonna sweep Tampa.

A goalie can almost win a playoff series on their own. Parent had done it multiple times (we we expected to lose badly to Boston in 73) and many other goalies have stolen a series over the years.

I'd love to see us crush their dreams.

This is the biggest game yet!

 

[Rebels57]

If the Flyers do get into the playoffs, 1st Wild Card is not out of the question yet either..which would give us a much more manageable 1st round opponent; the New York Islanders.

That dinosaur Trotz sure was a bad hire by the Isles.

Hart
Talbot

Pretty simple.

Looking for the ultimate lineup that would make EVERYONE happy with. The defensive pairs and goaltenders are set.

Provorov-Ghost
Sanheim-Gudas
Morin-Myers

Hart
Lyon

These players obviously don't exist.

MacDonald - Dead
Hagg - Dead
Talbot - Dead
Elliott - Retired
Neuvirth - Retired
McKenna - Waived

What are the forwards?

Even the people that weren't happy with the Talbot trade, like myself, would rather have Talbot than Lyon.

Not to downplay what he has done, and I agree with your post - but curious as to how they do next year. If he can keep them this competitive.

I could see some regression for sure. Depends on what they do player personell wise because I really am not impressed with that lineup.

 

[BiggE]

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!

You think Elliott could last a whole period?? That’s some big time optimism

Ok let's pretend Talbot was never traded then, you can have have Stolarz as backup. Just want to know what the lineup would be if you were coach and had to turn the team from a 12-1-1 team to a 14-0-0 team.

Cool dude.

 

[klutch]

AMac is probably an overall decent human being but I hate his hockey skills just as much as Haktard. It’s unreal Homer signed him, Hexy let him pass, and now Fletcher is letting him pass.

 

[dats81]

Just when I started to like what and appreciate what Gordon has been doing behind the bench he choses known mediocrity over inexperienced but talented youth.
Well whatever, I guess it will make it easier to see him gone for Q in the offseason.

 

[DancingPanther]

Honestly have never seen a player so disruptive to his own team's lineup than MacDonald.

He has caused crashes and burns of Provorov and Ghost while being their partner.

He blocked Sanheim

He is blocking Myers

These are blue chip talents we're talking about here.

All while being objectively very bad.

He must give coaches good over the pants handjobs

 

[magnumpi]

not better off with fletcher and Gordon than hextall and hakstol.

only difference is that fletcher promoted hart.
otherwise it's the same bs

Weise gone
Torgo Gone
Hak gone
Goaltending dealt with


All thing Hexy could not do, it is night and day under Fletch. All he has to do is not extend Simmer and get a coach, what more do you want ?
