GDT: #78: FLYERS at Hurricanes, Saturday, Mar. 30, 2019, 1:30 p.m. ET

[BillDineen]

Too bad Hart's mentoring of Talbot hasn't been able to calm his nerves.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

So the Flyers were 18 points out of a playoff spot when the Pejorative Slur twins were fired. Still probably going to finish double digits out of a spot. Fire everyone

 

[Jtown]

We'll probably be in the same situation in 5 years.

no reason to see any positives for the future.

 

[Chinatown88]

Do you think we could get Pat Falloon for it?

Aim higher, Shea Weber.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Do you think we could get Pat Falloon for it?

Im thinking Kris Versteeg

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

I think at this point, I hope the Flyers get embarrassed more and more. The fact that Ghost was sat and Varone was on the PP really f***ing shows how f***ing inept Gordon and the coaching really is.

 

[Magua]

Do you think we could get Pat Falloon for it?

No one we can get with that pick* will be as good as Pat Falloon.







*it was Briere

 

[Larry44]

Spurred on by Hart, they made a little run, but that kind of run is not sustainable over half a season. The young players made significant steps, but they still need better coaching, a solid backup for Hart, and away we go.

@Surrounded By Ahos owes/ahos us a dinner.

RIP

Most certainly the entire coaching staff has to go. Hearing Fletcher go on about Gordon being a "serious candidate" for the job is both nauseating and terrifying.

 

[CapnZin]

Well, I don't know how many posts I read in the last month *****ing about Gordok not playing Morin over Hagg, because even though Morin was coming off major knee surgery and had barely played in the last two seasons, he still "had to be better than Hagg," who "gets caved in possession."

After 2 periods, 5 on 5:

Morin: 10:43 TOI; 25.00 CF%; 1 SCF, 11 SCA

Hagg: 10:36; 46.43 CF%; 7 SCF, 8 SCA

Well, one of the two is certainly getting caved in possession. Sometimes things aren't so automatic as they seem.

Honestly, the crazy thing about that is you have someone 1 game removed from 2 years of basically no playing time due to injuries play a full game.

Even crazier is that Morin player almost every shift with the Varone and Laughton Line. Hagg has highest TOI with T6 forwards.


Going into a game like this to assume Morin would be complete and mistake free is nonsense. We saw it all game. He still needs to get comfortable. He’s not even playing that physically right now.

This is a really weird and ill-advises attempt to dismiss a player 30 some f***ing minutes back playing. Also, the Hagg stats are bad for getting a bunch of time with the T6/1st line.

Would not read too much into it. Its just GMspeak. He is not going to say bad things about him publicly

 

[Tripod]

I am glad we lost and looked bad. If we won and looked great, some idiots would be saying "see, we don't need Ghost"

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

You know what we have to do now: have Hagg sit for ~77 straight games, eating köttbullar och drinking glögg, while Morin plays, then next year when we are mathematically eliminated, compare the two.

Until then, there is no possible way to know.

You know you'd think so, but this organization has stopped surprising me in terms of stupid decisions.

 

[Striiker]

Those idiots are still going to be saying that.

If there’s one thing for certain, it’s that what happens on the ice has zero to do with their opinion of Ghost.

Hart

hart is the new giroux. wasted career.

There are too many prolific coaches available. With guys like Q and McLellan on the market there's no chance Gordon is a serious candidate, unless none of them wants to come to Philly.

[Stizzle]

3 Flyers were over 50% in xGF today. Knight, Varone, and Sanheim.

Well that is true. I would worry more about Holmgren wanting him to stick around actually.

 

[Larry44]

I think if they just open the purse and offer Quenneville $8 million/year x 5 years, to be the highest paid coach in history, he'll take it.

Barry Trotz to take over as coach of the Islanders
Mike Babcock (Toronto Maple Leafs) makes $6.25 million per season as the league's highest-paid coach; Joel Quenneville (Chicago Blackhawks) makes $6 million and Claude Julien (Montreal Canadiens) makes $5 million.

And Pivetta is off to a fine start. This day just keeps sucking
