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

[Bones45]

Pretty well but the entire team has the flu. Hard to really say bc we have had the flu and played very hard teams while going around .500 since we last played.

We had some sickness last week...now up against laziness, indifference and completely uninspired play.

I’d say if we get good goaltending you’ll win. If we don’t you’ll win.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

for all the talk of having brawls and physical/dirty play, I bet this game has about 12-16 PIMS. This game is too important for it to turn into a gong show.

If the flyers do the rope a dope then it will play out well for us. They did well agaisnt the pens. I think you’ll see it here.

 

[phlflyer1]

Any word on Boychuk?

 

[TheKingPin]

Can’t see a guy with a shoulder injury coming back early to get into a fight.

 

[kudymen]

I hope Boychuck plays, goes full speed head first into the boards just like he did with Jake, and the board gets suspended for interference.

 

[bennysflyers16]

I thought I don’t care anymore, but I’m getting pissed it’s not on my guide !!!

 

[Ruck Over]

He might be justified if he didn't miss most of the season to injury. Unfortunate but what little leverage he would have disappears over this point. I want to see him play, too.

Hence low-key, if it happens great, if not, only one more year left on this current contract. He's effectively been here through three gms, and three HCs, with a potential fourth HC upcoming.

Injury aside, there were chances for Sam to play, and he was routinely passed over.

Don't rock the boat, start looking for life preservers.

 

[Adam Warlock]

I don't think there are any Hagg lovers outside the announcers, but who knows what Morin actually is?

Anyone who has watched him play before?

You spend all this time saying players should be in the AHL until theyre 25 but now youre discounting the success he has had at that level?

Morin is bigger, stronger, meaner, a better puck handler, and a better skater than Hagg. We all know this.

I hope we spank the Isles today, standings be damned. I know we aren't making the playoffs, I just want to see the Isles board after their team gets steamrolled and there is not "retribution" for Boychuk.

I think I have given up on the idea this team will ever play morin more than ten total games in the NHL though.

SWISS-ARMY HART

Hart can do it all.

 

[Angry Hockey Dad]

Why are they still talking about TK earning the coaches trust?

 

[Angry Hockey Dad]

Also can't wait for boychuck to go full f***ing Pejorative Slur and hurt someone.

As Flyers hang on, Samuel Morin’s chance to play dissipates | Sam Donnellon

“I try to be a [bleep] out there all the time,” Morin said. “I mean, it upsets some guys. But I really don’t have much of a choice. I need to be really intense and I need to work hard so when I get my shot, I will be ready.”

Kind of hope Isles take it to us physically

 

[onlylordsvsmorebp]

ESPECIALLY WISH MORIN WAS IN THE LINEUP TODAY....

Does this mean Hart is better at forward than Laughton? Wouldn’t be hard.

Boruk just said the islanders would like a 1st round bye...

It's on my CI. Weird you can't get it.

Also, right now Taryn and Andrea are wrestling naked, too bad you're missing it

 

[AdamParrot]

Boychuk is in!

Morin is bigger, stronger, meaner, a better puck handler, and a better skater than Hagg. We all know this.

He's been seriously injured and has barely played for two years.
All you have to go on are a few NHL games scattered over three seasons.

Whether Morin is a better puck handler is one of the questions to be answered, one reason they sent him down was to break him of the habit of looking the puck onto his stick (much like a point guard who has to look at his dribble) instead of keeping his head up so he can see what's happening down ice.

Let's see him play a few games before we jump to definitive conclusions, shall we?
