GDT: #75: Islanders at FLYERS, Saturday, March 23, 2019, 1:00 p.m. ET

[Tripod]

ok...time to discuss who starts.

Sat NYI
Sun Wash
Wed Leafs: Hart
Sat Canes
Sun NYR
Tues Stars: Hart
Thur Blues: Hart
Sat Canes: Hart

If we are ok with running Hart every 2nd day, the above is a given. And if we don't want him playing on b2b, they Talbot or Elliott must play 2 games. It might make more sense to have Hart play Sunday vs Wash then Sat vs Canes.

This would give Hart 2 days off from the Chicago game to Sunday, then 2 days off until Wednesday...instead of 1 day off...then 3. Then again after that Leafs game, give him Saturday gives him 2 and 2 instead of 3 and 1 for days off.

What would you do?

 

[Rebels57]

Sat NYI - Hart
Sun Wash - Talbot
Wed Leafs: Hart
Sat Canes: Hart
Sun NYR: Talbot
Tues Stars: Hart
Thur Blues: Hart
Sat Canes: Talbot (if out of playoffs, if not Hart)

I’d start Talbot tomorrow and Hart on Sunday, but other than that it would be the same.

This might be the best rotation to use but...

MIMSY wants a job. MUST RIDE HART TO DEATH!!!!!

I can understand that line of thinking too. I just feel like the Isles is a more winnable game.

 

[bennysflyers16]

Would love Sammy in and shit kick someone early, Isles are plumetting, have a feeling the MArtins amd the rest of their plugs will be in full scumbag mode .

 

[Harhis]

Has Jake ever been in a fight?

One more proof you don't even watch the games. No surprise really.

This is the way to go imo. Won't happen, but this is what I would do

I replaced Hart with Talbot against the Blues. I'm not sure why we think Elliott is just going to be shelved to the press box, unless I've missed a latest greatest injury for the guy. #Mimsylife

I give Talbot the nod against the Rangers with intention, and Hart has to play the last game of the season, especially because it is a home game and the paying folks in attendance deserve to see that. Otherwise, Hart gets two days rest at a minimum. And Talbot starts against a weaker NYI because it protects Hart from any stupid stuff that might occur.

Again, for the umpteenth time, just to reiterate, trading for Talbot was a do-nothing trade, a mistake, both shortsighted and wasteful. Hindsight being 20/20, no oracle of Delphi to inform Elliott would successfully reintegrate to the line-up without further injury, blah blah blah. Still helped another franchise for the "right" to negotiate earlier with Talbot as a potential back-up next year. He projects (mine) to play three games more, on top of the 2 game appearance already (1 start, 1 relief). Whoop de freaking do, 5 games!

I just couldn't remember the last time he dropped the gloves, it's not been very often the last few years.
In fact, real fights are rare these days, how often has Gudas been in an actual fight (v a scrum with the refs holding everyone back).

Stolarz is going to be a UFA since he's not getting the required games in Edmonton.
So it was a "nothing for nothing" trade, since Stolarz wouldn't have played over a healthy Elliott, either, and would have ended up a UFA.

 

[BiggE]

Would love Sammy in and **** kick someone early, Isles are plumetting, have a feeling the MArtins amd the rest of their plugs will be in full ******* mode .

Agreed

 

[BernieParent]

Talbot (Elliott backup) versus Islanders. Talbot can throw down with Lehner / Greiss during the inevitable line brawl.

But if Hart were to get into a fight, he'd probably secure himself a GM job in the future. Why should we deprive Hart of future employment potential?

The genius behind the bench will definitely through Elliott in. He can't help himself

 

[Outlaw Samurai]

Hopefully Jake shoves his stick up Boychuk's goofy ass.

Hoping for Morin and Talbot but Gordo gotta Gordo so f*** us I guess.

It's nice no longer reading those mind-numbing ramblings but it's confusing only reading replies sometimes. "Who's he talking too?..oh right, never mind. Lol"

 

[Freddy The Fog]

Can we stop giving up 35+ shots a game? I thought our D was supposed to improve.

 

[flyersfan187]

Is Boychuk out with an injury? I wouldn't want Hart to get this start because I expect this to turn into a rough game. Morin should be in as well.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

A must win. A must f***ing win.

 

[Rebels57]

The Gordon system does not lend itself to allowing fewer shots. We give the puck back to the other team like we're allergic to, BY DESIGN.

I wish others would follow suit.

Why would you hope for Talbot? He's an .894 goalie and has played one and a half games in the last six weeks.

 

[Stizzle]

All Scott Gordon teams do this. Ask Alex Lyon.

If Hakstol had suddenly promoted a veteran goalie who was having a poor season and had barely played in the past month and a half, with the Flyers basically needing to win every remaining game to make the playoffs, you would used it as evidence of what a terrible coach he was.
