GDT: #7: Golden Knights at FLYERS, Monday, Oct. 21, 2019, 7:00 pm ET

[bennysflyers16]

Common sense.

Myers wasn't ready, are we forgetting that he was gifted the #6 spot and screwed the pooch? This isn't a guy who had to win a job, just not lose it.
Farabee and Frost are 19 and 20, both are undersized, both have no pro experience. Starting in the AHL isn't the worst thing in the world.
Rubtsov started this year with 30 pro games under his belt and missing more than a full season due to injury, don't forget, he's only 21.

They'll all be up at some point, probably within the next month or two if they continue to play this well (beware of SSS performances, why do the same people who complain about Twarynski and Bunnaman making the team off SSS performances in camp against NHL players accept SSS performances against AHL players as proof that the top prospects are NHL ready?).

It's not like this team is getting outskated and outshot night after night.
Right now they're in a funk, from the goalie to the top 7 forwards.
AV noted that his stress on defense may have them playing a bit tentative, that's normal with a new scheme, think too much and you'll be half a stride behind, the only cure is to play through to the point where it becomes second nature.

Myers is better than Haag and makes the team better now

 

[Garbage Goal]

This team would look a lot different with Couturier, Hayes, Patrick, Laughton as our center lineup instead of Couturier, Hayes, Laughton, Raffl.
Patrick being hurt ruined our bottom 6.

Nah. Even with him we still have absolute trash filling our fourth line, a 3rd line wing, and half of every D pair. We’re still banking on a 21 year old sophomore with no NHL starting experience to carry us. That’s best case scenario with Patrick playing well and ignoring that I think our assistant coaches are recycled trash. If Patrick doesn’t play to expectations, which would be a very real possibility, we still have Hayes playing above his capabilities in the lineup.

It’s not like Patrick being injury prone is a new thing either, that’s something they should’ve prepared for. I also refuse to believe any teams season completely relied on a player with similar production and upside to Kevin Hayes at his best.

 

[Embiid]

The Vegas Knights...such a looooooong storied successful franchise. Oh wait!

In all seriousness we have been spinning our wheels as a franchise longer than this Vegas team has even been in existence....and they have a Stanley Cup appearance to boot So damn insulting.....

Chuck "bias for action" Fletcher, what he gonna do?

Call up Andreoff or Gabriel im sure.

 

[Striiker]

I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see them win this one.

At some point the horrible luck has to turn... they’re doing everything other than scoring and our top players are crazy good.

Just a matter of time. They can carry this team and win games in spite of all the sabotage, stupidity, and bad players that surround them. Not every single game, because no players can do that, but definitely for stretches. I have faith in them, as everyone who’s been paying attention the last few years should.

 

[deadhead]

Myers is better than Haag and makes the team better now, don’t be so ignorant

That is an opinion, not shared by AV.
So who's opinion should I believe?
Am I ignorant if I take the opinion of a HC who is 12th in all time wins (14th in PO wins) over a HF board poster?

When did we add McDavid, Kucherov, Hedman, Karlsson et al?

Hyperbole city, Batman!

 

[Ghosts Beer]

Because Morin coming in takes Stewie out and adds Farabee. These dunces want a knuckle dragger vs Reaves, well Morin accomplishes that while removing the worst skater in the nhl.

Yeah, let’s throw Morin in as a 6th D against a good team for his 9th career NHL game for the purpose of getting beaten to a pulp by Reaves when the Flyers have only conceded 38 shots in the last 2 games with their current D.

I mean, Couturier and Giroux have arguably been two of the best ~10 fwds at EV in the entire NHL over the last two seasons.

Farabee >>>>>>>>>>>> Stewart , Morin at worst = Haag for a team struggling to score. Nice try tho

 

[Lindberg]

Farabee >>>>>>>>>>>> Stewart , Morin at worst = Haag for a team struggling to score. Nice try tho

I wonder if people actually watch Hagg play. The guy is a dud on offense.

 

[Adam Warlock]

Farabee coming up per Isaac.

 

[bennysflyers16]

Oskar Hayes Farabee

Make it happen AV

JVR Laughts Jake

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

You’re welcome. They didn’t want me to die.

 

[Rebels57]

"Sounds like"

Is also once sounded like the Flyers hired Q according to Isaac..lets wait and see.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

This is a complete guess, but I'm going to assume he's on the 3rd line with Laughton and JVR in some configuration until/unless I see otherwise.

I would call that doing some heavy lifting if it is the case.

Well, our bottom 6 is still a work in progress. I expect Farabee to be called up in the near future. Then we have Patrick, Farabee and JVR on our 3rd line, which also gives us more than enough options for our 4th line.

Half of our D is "absolute trash"? Provorov, Ghost, and Sanheim aren't trash. Niskanen has been our best defenseman so far and Braun has been ok. Nobody likes Hagg, but he's been fine so far.

Hayes is a capable top 6 player. How is him centering our 2nd line playing above his capabilities? He's a 50 point center.

The constant exaggerations on this board are tiresome.

 

[bennysflyers16]

Farabee healthy scratch

 

[Adam Warlock]

These people get paid millions of dollars to make the decisions we said they should make.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Please please Farabee be up and playing tomorrow! We should have Frost up too instead of Twar or Stewart. Free Morin!

 

[ybnvs]

But will Farabee point to his bulging bicep to incite fear into the hearts of our enemies?

 

[kudymen]

These people get paid millions of dollars to make the decisions we said they should make.

And then you see posts like "who should I believe, an HF poster or an experienced NHL coach because he is an NHL coach"

 

[BiggE]

But will Farabee point to his bulging bicep to incite fear into the hearts of our enemies?

Hayes should point to his nose. I’d be terrified at the thought of that appearing on my face.

 

[Strawberry Fields]

Need Hayes' face on this gif.
