I think he was on for all three non empty netters, wasn't he?

Yeah. So even worse. He was on the ice for 1 GF & 3 GA all at 5v5 tonight despite playing 10:46 minutes total.

 

[Beef Invictus]

The important thing is Braun scored

 

[Magua]

-97 for the Yandy Man. -100 within reach. Let’s get him there, Chuck.

 

[bennysflyers16]

Yandy and Gromp , I don’t think I could choose between the 2.

 

[FLYguy3911]

I think he was on for all three non empty netters, wasn't he?

Yup. Uncanny.

Between Attard and Yandle, you couldn't draw up a worse pair. Yandle doesn't compliment anyone and Attard is really rough around the edges.

 

[Stizzle]

@Stizzle did you ever hear the Carsen Meyer tapeworm story?

Oh, god. No.

 

[trostol]

hey now..dont bad talk Yandle..so no longer relevant NHLers might hear

 

[Tripod]

I just noticed we played tonight.

We lost?

 

[macleish1974]

There will always be good games, bad games and ugly games. tonight was just ugly.

So in the spirit of that here is the Danish Royal Orchestra with title song and ecstasy of gold

The conductor is Sarah Hicks......hot....hot.....hot with that baton in hand........




Good evening everyone!

 

[Kelmitchell2]

Great game. Stellar performance. I didn't watch

Why has attard been bad? Haven't actually watched since he's been added in

 

[Hextallent63]

im usually not too hard on jones, but tonight he spewed the most ridiculous, asinine, dipshit comment ever. gerry meyhew fing jr. who ever he threw that comment on should hunt him down and glue his mouth shut.

Well they haven't given him any help as far as a legit NHL partner. That doesn't help.

 

[freakydallas13]

This is the way.

See we outshot them. Did we actually outplay them or just get a bunch of nothing shots?

 

[gertbfrobe16]

Watched the panthers game it was fun.

 

[deadhead]

We outplayed CBJ by a wide margin the first two periods, then sagged after the third goal.

Hart had another shaky game, first goal due to failing to keep his skate against the post, though he could have used some help, third goal when he failed to either cover or clear a rebound right in front of him.

Laughton looked rusty, real surprise.

Top four D-men were all solid, Risto had one of his best games, Provorov was fine until the 3rd when he had a couple bad plays.

PP looked very good, though they passed it around a bit too much, they had numerous scoring chances, just couldn't deliver.

Tippett keeps making plays, but struggles to finish - right now he's a 3RW, he needs to shoot better to move up, but he's not a bad passer, and his speed and energy makes things happen.

Hayes is our best center by a wide margin with Couts out and Laughton trying to regain his groove.

Frost is continuing his improved play, like Tippett he struggles to finish, but he's getting his shots and makes plays.

The fourth line played very well, but Thompson is the weak link, Brown had a good game and LIndblom/Cates. Cates is locking up a starting spot next season, just a smart player.

JVR got his 18th, got to get him past 20 and get his trade value up!

Attard has talent, but he's a bit lost, pairing him with Yandle doesn't help, he needs someone reliable on his left side. Can York handle carrying a pair with him (if they keep Provorov and Sanheim, York becomes #5).

The problem is finishing games, but that's a combination of lack of talent and experience. Add Couts and Ellis and they're a much better team, if Brink is for real, they're actually a solid team next year. And that's the problem, it may tempt them into taking short cuts such as keeping Atkinson, signing a veteran FA and adding a Dino HC - and the one year bounce will convince them they've turned the corner before it comes crashing down again.

He was excited about the return of Gerry Mayhew with the Ducks this Saturday like it's Giroux or something, lol.

You keep wanting to trade Atkinson. You don't trade that guy unless you are getting a steal of a deal. Which Fletcher won't so he says and is a key piece that can put the puck in the net. People bitched about losing Jake and who would be productive. HE HAS BEEN. Do another trade that loses offense and you are looking to fail.

 

[Larry44]

It’s honestly amazing how actively bad Yandle is. It’s pretty hard to do even as a bad player in sheltered role.

He played just over 10 minutes tonight & the Flyers gave up two goals with him on the ice.

I continue to laugh at people on Twitter who moan about sitting Yandle to break up the pity record.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

I mean I’d trade Atkinson now if you could while he may have repaired his stock some this year. The contract still might be tough to move anyway though.

But that’s in the mindset of that this team isn’t going anywhere on its current trajectory so I’m cool with moving out salary for futures as I don’t care about the short term right now.

That’s obviously not the mindset of the Flyers though who are shooting to somehow compete next year as misguided as that may be.

If that is one of Risto's best games then we are f***ed for half a decade.

Can't blame AV or anyone but Fletcher for that.

 

[Curufinwe]

There's as much chance of them trading Ristolainen as trading Atkinson. Fletcher acquired and loves both of them, it's just that one is bad at hockey and one is still pretty good.

 

[BobbyClarkeFan16]

I expect the team to lose lots, but I have to admit, concern is starting to set in with regards to Hart. Something looks off. I'm wondering if it's another depression/anxiety spell he's battling through. He doesn't look sharp and he looks defeated.
