Post-Game Talk: #60: Lightning at FLYERS, Tuesday, Feb. 19, 2019, 7:00 pm ET

[Krazed Flyer]

Glad I missed this one. Was checking twitter and saw stuff about Simmonds, Haag, and Gudas. Wtf happened?

 

[Maurice of Orange]

Lots of harsh criticism tonite. My goodness.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

We straight up lost but those refs were a joke.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Just got in. Had floor hockey tonight.
What did I miss?

 

[orangecrush8]

Naturally CBJ scores to tie that game. Yay 3 point games.

 

[flyers0909]

Ghost played over 22 minutes. And over 18 2 games ago. So 2 of the last 3 games, averaging 20 minutes. That means Gordon is happy with him and that he is playing well.

I learned this math earlier today.

Playing 22 minutes by definition means he's good again right? Can't argue TOI.

I'm really tired of watching the bottom half of this roster continually f*** some really damn good players like Giroux and Couturier.

If anyone hasn't already listened to it, Giroux was on the Spitten' Chiclets podcast recently and he basically summed up the feelings of most of the posters on here. Whitney asked him about making the finals and playoffs so early on in his career and how it's been basically downhill since, and Giroux really didn't have an answer other than to say how tough it is to deal with. They've basically wasted the prime of his career with a mediocre team around him outside of a handful of good players.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Did I really need the sarcasm emoji there?

 

[Embiid]

Welp….a flaccid effort. Sorry guys.....I was a sacrificial lamb tonight but at least Gordor spoke to me

 

[bennysflyers16]

Farmer Varone Haag, those were your 3 worst Flyers. Who could of predicted that ???

Habs Jackets gonna be 3 point game

 

[PHILOUDELPHIA]

Continuing to play Mac, and riding Hart like a rented mule blew up in his face.

Worst player on the ****ing team. Constantly noticeable.

Rot in hell you POS.

why can't we give amac the vinny treatment of just going away.

Team worst -3 after that empty net.

Hagg +1 for hopping on the ice for Sanheim when the latter got an assist.

Not helping your case!

Mac -2 in 14 minutes.

Who do we want to win anyway?

I guess it doesn't really matter. They're both at 69 points.

 

[orangecrush8]

Was Hart bad or just skilled plays by Lightning?

I'm concerned that the offense looks so bad lately.

It was a shooting gallery

First goal was a hilariously bad read by Macdonald and a shot off Ghost’s shinpad.

Second goal Macdonald got abused in front of the net.

Third goal was a 2 on 1

Hart was hung out left to dry again. He didn’t bail them out this time. It was purely a mercy pull.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Yea I think Varone probably shouldnt play anymore. I kinda think the team should acquire a center at the deadline. 4th line is so crappy

I'm just going to say this one more time. A couple of months ago, you couldn't swing a dead skunk in here without hitting some moronic, premature negative evaluation of Patrick and Lindblom. Those turned out to be completely asinine. The same kind of moronic, premature evaluations have been made the past few weeks about Vorobyev, but this time not only by morons, but by people who should know better than to write off a young prospect who was put in a completely untenable position with linemates, ice time, and a total lack of a system. They needed to leave him up here, play him more minutes, let him play through it, and - as soon as NAK got healthy - got him up here to play beside the Pimp.

Instead, here we sit, further months wasted with no more experience for a young player who could help us in the future when games matter.

My farts had more impact tonight then those players did all game.

[Maurice of Orange]

Tampa is the best team in the NHL, the only way we get close to Tampa is if they let you.

Flyers were lucky to hang within 2 goals that late into the game.

 

[Beef Invictus]

I really want Bailey to succeed but he's gonna need to hockey a lot better.


Varone can be replaced now.


Myers for MacDonald immediately. Myers can make the same errors, I don't care, he has upside and will learn/improve and MacDongle has only decline, degradation, and desecration.

 

[Embiid]

why can't we give amac the vinny treatment of just going away.

There should be a remembrance nameplate on that Vinny press box seat...maybe they don't want to dishonor the memory of futility with even worse futility?

I'm not overly optimistic about Vorobyev's future, but at least he has one. We should be playing ALL THE KIDS ALL THE TIME.

Get these dead-enders out of here.

You seem unwell.

I agree with the no goAl, but with 2 mins left Kucherov committed 3 separate stick infractions that went un Called.

Do you have any idea what I just watched



I need an adult
