I’d like to see his minutes played & zone starts with that pairing.

Gordon can't stay here as a head coach for next season.

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

73 there with amac special lol.

Imagine if the previous GM fired his son's college coach after the season last yearand hired the guy in Long Island now.

Still best thing after that ended was Jeff throwing him under the bus to Homer so he would keep his job.

I thought his (Jeff's) "I feel partially responsible for what happened today" line back then was hilarious

I don't want Simmer to go... I want him to want to stay so bad in his mind that he would accept a contract that was good for both parties
but I'm dreaming and I know it. Mac needs to go and if we have to retain %30 so be it. Myers looked good again and he and Ghost seem like a good pairing, Gudas is back next
game so put him back with Hagg and finish the season. Varone can go back down now, seen enough.

 

[Johnk0728]

Getting lost by alot of people (not on this board) in NHL is that Couturier is not having just a Selke season but MVP type season. Wow.......

Take sentimentality out of it and I don’t want him to stay. He offers very little nowadays and we couldn’t get him to sign a deal that represents what he’s truly worth.

I hope and pray Fletch looks past the short sighted hopes of the players and moves him on. We can get a really solid return.

I get that, I wish Simmer understood his monetary worth but they gotta get while they can, but I'm going to need them to sign someone to fill that role for half the money.. the role of a team first guy, physical, protects our guys that need it and can get the puck in the net 15+++ times a year playing 3rd or 4th line minutes. Can only think of a couple but that's what I need.

 

[TheKingPin]

I’m feeling it from last night but if Simmonds wants to come back on a reasonable deal for 3 years I’d like to have him. But he will lowly look for a 5 year 6-7 mill deal possibly.

Tampa don’t really have a physical guy who stands up for team mates. I think it’s a concept that’s gone out of the game but we cling onto it. I love you Simmer but we need to move on.

kilorn, hedman, coburn, callahan. They are not as diminutive as one may be led to believe.

 

[Appleyard]

I’d like to see his minutes played & zone starts with that pairing.

40 minutes
53.57% ZSR

Sinc being put together the pairing has been maybe the worst in the NHL though... no joke.

33.99% Scoring Chances For
37.10% High Danger Chances For
43.49% CF

In 150 minutes...

 

[Strawberry Fields]

My head knows he should go and has to go, my heart's having second thoughts about being ready for it. If Simmer is traded, I'm rooting for whatever team gets him to win the Cup.

I don't know how many times I've said it here, but he'll always be one of my favorite Flyers.

It's almost like they're both bad hockey players who together just amplify each other's weaknesses. And now remember that Hak used them as shut down guys whenever we had the lead last year.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

If this is really the end for Simmer then I am glad I got to see exactly why we all love the guy. I hope he goes out west to one of the contenders and wins it all

 

[renberg]

I know that Hagg is a popular whipping boy but last night his willingness to stand up to Lurch at 14:51 in the third turned around the game. IDK what was said or done in that scrum but Hagg gave the Freak all that he deserved. From that point on until G's goal, aside from Voracek's give away, the Flyers were the much better team won the ice. Kudos to Hagg for that play.

 

[Outlaw Samurai]

We love ya Wayne Train!!!

It's time to go and we wish you the best

There's just no sense in keeping him. I hope today's the day. He deserves to go playoff beast mode for some team.

If he's a Leaf, I'll be cheering for them over Boston, NYI and Pitts. I really hate the Bruins. BJ's/Bolts/Habs/Panthers I wouldn't (but definitely cheer for him to do well).

I enjoyed that moment. f***ing Shrek

I despise AMac more. He's utterly useless and while Hagg isn't great at any of the zones, at least he can stand up for himself and doesn't starfish

Coburn isn't phsyical
Callahan? Ryan Callahan? He's 5-10

Impossible! I have been told multiple times that he has never made a positive contribution to the flyers

What has Tampa won? The regular season? The last team to win the cup had several tough players that hit hard. The pens went so far as to add Ryan reaves for a first rounder. You can Stamkos your way through the reg season all you want but the playoffs are gritty. You need guys that like that style. The feel at home in it.

Yep I like him when he is utilized properly

 

[Rebels57]

Fletch better trade Simmonds to a team we can tolerate rooting for. If he goes to Boston im gonna be livid.
