GDT: #61: FLYERS at Canadiens, Thursday, Feb. 21, 2019, 7:30 pm ET

Dude, calm down, you seem particularly ornery today.

Anyway, it went like this...
Magnum: The organization loves MacDonald, they would even sit Sanheim before him!
Me: Gordon clearly likes Sanheim and is not going to sit him any time soon.
You: SANHEIM'S NOT A TRUE FIRST PAIRING DMAN!

You made a reference to Sanheim being relied on by Gordon for first pairing minutes.

I replied that Sanheim being relied on for first pairing minutes right now illustrates a hole on the team for a first pairing defenseman.

You: “Non sequitur.”

That’s how it went.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

the two of you can have your fight.

But, my patience is gone.

Myers needs to be given a shot. And that means Mcdonald needs to sit. Period. I don't care about anything else.
Its ridiculous that we have no idea if he's a legit piece going forward or not.

We should have been clearer last season about Sanheim but we werent.... because of Mcdonald. same crap happening again.

I think bennyflyers commented yesterday along the lines---

he had never seen such a poor player cause such a disruption. First, Provorov and Ghost as young dman had to be burdened with carrying him. Then he blocked Sanheim. Now he's blocking Myers and soon Morin.
Not to mention myers and Morin should have been given a real chance last season. Morin should have never been sent down. Maybe he gets hurt, maybe he doesn't/

Its a freaking joke at this point. And makes me think the Flyers will never have management/coaching required to win a cup.

I’m in favor of playing Myers.

Big game tomorrow as Flyers legend Christian Folin plays is scratched against his former team for the first time.

He was better than Johnny Oduya.

Did you not reference Gordon giving Sanheim first pairing minutes?

Did I not opine that Sanheim’s getting first pairing minutes illustrated the team’s current need for a first pairing D?

Did you not then accuse me of a “non sequitur”?

Not surprising you responded with a picture.

AMac..you guys are CRAZY suggesting he needs to be benched for some likely scrub in Myers.

He's basically Bobby Orr and Batman rolled into one. He's a hockey-ninja-God in a perfect Starfish-y package.

That's not even funny.

If you look at the advanced metrics, MacDonald is better than Hagg, less than Gudas and generally below the three kids. Which makes him the #5 D-man. And he's tied with Gudas for 5th in minutes per game. And has been solid on the PK.

Blaming MacDonald for this teams' recent struggles is silly.
And he's not the only starfish, Sanheim did an "8" (Russian judge only gave him a "5") last night.

Myers and then Morin will get their shot, if they produce and show they're ready to start next year, odds are both MacDonald and Hagg are history, unless Gudas gets moved at the TDL.

Go back to the bench and build your Lego set.

We're just lucky that Hakstol, that fossilized dinosaur coach, got fired, otherwise MacDonald and Hagg would both be getting top 4 (or even top pair) minutes right now.

What a f***ing idiot he was.

Remember when they would be thrown out there at the end of games we we're leading to "shut down" the opposition? Good times...

2 games for Gudas. What a dumbass.

Pretty cool that Myers gets to play in the SS.

Unfortunately he will be used like the #6 and Pitt will get to feast on a heaping helping of Hagg and MacShit.

He has sacrificed himself for Myers, all hail

Myers will sadly be stapled to the bench for the 3rd period and AMac and Hagg will start taking most of the minutes.

Did the outdoor game count as 2 games?

 

[Outlaw Samurai]

Go back to the bench and build your Lego set.

After complaining endlessly, I figured the old reverse trick might FINALLY get rid of that infinite turd.

Ah yes, the "hold onto our asses while the puck is hemmed in and the opposing team gets endless zone time" strategy.

Hak was such a genius

 

[FlyTimmo]

That really sucks for Gudas. Missing the outdoor game is unfortunate.

Hagg just got a fine.
