Post-Game Talk: #77 | FLYERS 2 at Stars 3 (OT)| Tue., Mar. 27, 2018, 8:30 pm ET

[YamCork]

MacKinnon & Rantanen are going to murder the Flyers tomorrow.

 

[AaronTrieu]

I don’t think it was a shell. They actually tried to win, which is sad cause they actually tried.

 

[Tripod]

I think I need to take a break from watching this team. Hak gets me too worked up. Hes just so ****ing infuriating. He has neutured the team, they are no fun to watch.

That break is likely coming in less than 2 weeks anyways,

 

[flyers0909]

Can one of these f***ing beats ask Hakstol why he would bench his best defenseman for the last 5 minutes of a tied game?

 

[MarAlain MongYeo]

I am now actively rooting for this team to choke and miss the playoffs. I hate to be that guy but holy f*** is this team just not ready. Way too f***ing slow.

To make matters worse I bet to all Hell we're going to pick Serron Noel with our 17th pick and trade our second for like a second and a f***ing thrd. f*** this garbage team and garbage coach

 

[patrick kitchin]

I paid 25 dollars to stream that game on an airplane

I pay 200 a year for Center Ice. If Hak is still around next year I might not. Unless my boy Hart is called up.

 

[JXC]

Good game they tried their best

That’s really all we can ask for.

 

[flyers0909]

Benching Ghost is the definition of playing not to lose.

 

[The Rage Kage]

That break is likely coming in less than 2 weeks anyways,

Its truly amazing that they might miss the playoffs after being first in the division at the deadline.

 

[bennysflyers16]

The Flyers outshot the Stars 14-6 in the 3rd, dominated the vast majority of the period, & people are still claiming “shell.” Can’t make this stuff up.

They gave up an inexcusable 75% length of the ice pass to spring a 2-on-0 breakaway in OT with Konecny & Ghost on the ice — not saying they shouldn’t have been out there, but that can’t happen. Brutal.

You really need to watch the games, you sound real dumb

Ghost not playing the final 5 mins is the def of the shell, he is not trying to win the game playing Torgo and not having Giroux play the last 2:30 is his version of the shell.

 

[FlyTimmo]

That’s really all we can ask for.

The players did. The coached didn't.

It isn't Lethera's fault he is getting throw out there with 2 minutes to go. That's on Hak/Hexy

 

[Rebels57]

If and when we miss the Playoffs, I will not watch another Flyers game as long as Hakstol is coach. I just cant do it anymore.

 

[YamCork]

Bill Clement talking out of his arse as per usual...

 

[litflyersfan]

MacKinnon & Rantanen are going to murder the Flyers tomorrow.

I’m down for that if it helps bounce STL out of the playoffs.

Benching your best overall defensemen (who happens to drive the shit out of play), and your best gamebreaker on defense in favor of "safer" veterans for the final five minutes of the game to try and secure a point is the very definition of shell.

What other coach in the league willingly sits his number one defenseman for the final five in a tied hockey game? f*** outta here with your bullshit.

 

[bennysflyers16]

How the **** did they get a 2 on 0 when they only had 1 guy up on the play??

That was pathetic

G and the BRAINDEAD 64 mill dollar man both changed at same time.

 

[orangecrush8]

I can’t wait for Hak to say they played “a hell of a game tonight”.

 

[bennysflyers16]

Its truly amazing that they might miss the playoffs after being first in the division at the deadline.

It's not though, a lot of us saw this coming 3 weeks ago.

Flyers loss and Cats win tomm is gonna close to seal it

Lehtera (why is he taking an offensive zone face off with two minutes to go?) and Co put a bunch of muffins on net in the early part of the third, so the shell is just some made up HiveMind thing.

 

[MarAlain MongYeo]

"We can't out-skill them, so we must out-battle them"

1- HORRIBLE message to send to your supposed playoff team going up against a team that is scuffling to all hell.

2- YOU COULDNT EVEN GET THEM TO DO THAT

Hakstol is useless. We are the slowest team in the league when we dont even have to be

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

I can’t take a fourth year with this p***y behind the bench, just a continuous unwatchable product with his cowardice.

 

[BigToe]

These Doritos taste good.

 

[Tripod]

I don’t think it was a shell. They actually tried to win, which is sad cause they actually tried.

You don't try to win when you bench Ghost the last 5 minutes of a game and you put out Lehtera as a C in the OZ with 2 minutes left.

That is 100% Playing for OT and playing scared.

 

[The Rage Kage]

Its still a pretty incredible collapse, even if it was easy to see coming.

 

[flyershockey]

Just quoting the oddity of it.

The shell comment wasn't about the entirety of the period. I was actually pretty impressed with how aggressive they were in the first five minutes, and specifically during the 4 on4. But at some point, Hak decided the point was so important that he almost willingly gave up on trying to win in regulation. That and against a team that the Flyer's didn't have a shot in hell at beating in a 3 on 3 scenario.

Yes on the first point. The shell is a myth.

Didn’t see TK on that last play, he may have gone for a change and just didn’t make it.

It wouldn't go to OT if decisions like pulling your best players and not having a Center for offensive drop with 2 minutes left in the game
