GDT: #62: Penguins at FLYERS, Saturday, Feb. 23, 2019, 8:00 pm ET

When the game rolls around, Hart will have only played around 20 minutes in the previous 5 days, so I don't think fatigue will be an issue.

It's more than just fatigue. Running Hart out in a Stadium Series game after a) getting shelled by the league-leading Lightning (I like alliteration!) and b) embarrassed at the other end of the ice from his idol may have shaken Hart. He's a human being after all. If he's good to go physically and mentally, go for it, but Gordon et al need to take a step back and make sure they aren't piling on.

Those helmets look like power rangers or some shit.

 

[KrazyKat]

I’m going with Carter Hart again.
He’s a had a tough break last couple games no doubt.

The team need to step up in front of him.
Provorov/Sanheim look horrible.

I hope Simmonds has a good game, scores a goal. As it will be his last game here.

I would also scratch Bailey and put in Vorobyev to get some speed.

 

[Freddy The Fog]

I hope Simmonds is traded before the game.... time to move on.

Bailey is one of the fastest skaters in the league....

 

[FLYguy3911]

Has it been confirmed if Bailey actually has hands?

 

[Magua]

Bailey absolutely flies every time he’s fumbling a puck and chipping it in like he’s never played hockey before, losing the battle for the puck, and then racing back into his own end afterwards.

I wish I was an evil scientist. I would chop off Bailey and Ghoul’s lower halves and give them to Strome and Misha. For science.

Could be a Goro misdirection but Giroux - Patrick - Konecny line out there in practice.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

 

[Magua]

Beautiful. Just beautiful. Been waiting to see the new and improved Patrick with Giroux at wing.

And JVR gets more time to eat hot dogs on the bench. Maybe on the ice too. Because it’s not like he will be doing anything with Varone and Bailey anyway.

 

[Adam Warlock]

As good as the first two lines look it goes way down hill after that. I dont get Jvr on the 4th line.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

 

[Striiker]

If this is fake I'll be pissed.


NOW DID THEY FIX THE PP??!?!!?!!?!?!

Classic Goro.

 

[Striiker]

Classic Goro.

What I want to know is: what the hell is Raffl doing above JVR?

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

He’s heavy in a Hak sense, not a @Beef Invictus sense.

Our seven million dollar forth liner. But really with the players assembled, that is really the only thing egregious.

 

[Striiker]

HEAVIER THAN JVR????

Come on Gordo... this isn’t hard...

 

[Striiker]

Yeah, I’ll take it.

Seeing Patrick with Giroux is worth it. It might not work but it’s definitely worth a shot.

That line makes my pants feel too tight

 

[prototypical4thliner]

Yeah, I’ll take it.

Seeing Patrick with Giroux is worth it. It might not work but it’s definitely worth a shot.

G gets the best shooter we got and Patrick gets someone who can play off his creativity. I mean our bottom six is gonna get caved in but what else is new.

It just highlights how desperate we are for frost or another quality center to make an appearance. Because, yikes center depth if g is on the wing.

 

[deadhead]

They're treating JVR like Ghost, hide him at ES so he's fresh for the PP.

JVR is a problem right now without a legitimate 3C, he needs to be carried by someone who can carry the puck and buy time for him to station himself near the net.

 

[Curufinwe]

JVR was supposed to be on the 4th line before the last game, and played 18 minutes

 

[Maurice of Orange]

If this is Simmers last game as a Flyer, I hope he scores a goal.
Beats Crosby up and before the game ends trounces Malkin to the tune of a game misconduct.

Wayne would have that long walk out of the stadium to a standing ovation if all that comes to fruition.
