GDT: #80: FLYERS at Stars, Tuesday, April 2, 2019, 8:30 p.m. ET

Awesome.

One thing we can say with absolute certainty - if GM Eunuch McPossumhead brings back Gordo, we can put to rest the idea that he is some kind of "advanced stats" guy.

If he brings back Mimsy, I won’t be responsible for the carnage I leave in my wake.

 

[BernieParent]

Yep. He's worse than Stolarz.

No, no, he's reliable and a great mentor to Hart.

 

[occultist goat]

I'm just watching for the entertainment at this point...shits a damn disgrace.

 

[Tripod]

Hagg turnover.

I'm sure a grey/impartial person will have plenty to say about that one.

yup...awful

 

[trostol]

can they just pass on playing the last few games? lol

 

[baudib1]

Talbot really does suck, but if he helped Hart at all with his day to day living and helping on his game then it was a good trade.

No. Hart doesn't need babysitters. That's like saying the AMac contract was good because he taught the other defensemen to be passive and give up the blue line.

 

[bennysflyers16]

There is something wrong here. And it’s not just coaching.

100% agree, and people who don’t accept this are fooling themselves

 

[mja]

This will all be worth it when Q sends Panarin over the boards with G & Jack Hughes for the opening shift of the 2019-2020 season.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Hagg played scared there.

What a trash effort since the playoffs became impossible.

 

[Striiker]

I do not recall a collection of Flyers that have quit as a whole.

Even when we were league worst, you didn’t see this

I have no clue what game you're even watching...

That goal is 100% on Hagg and nobody else. Not effort, not any other skater. Not even Talbot. Hagg.

 

[baudib1]

No, no, he's reliable and a great mentor to Hart.

Hart doesn't need a mentor. You can't mentor someone better than you.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Nice stop, Talbot.

Wouldn't it be funny if he were an actual bot, like some confused Canadian scientist invented an android who is supposed to be good at hockey, a "Talent Robot," and dumped him into the unsuspecting player pool of junior hockey as "Talbot" only to see his circuits and gadgetry break down after 6 or 7 years until it is this hulking wreck we see before us?

Maybe not "funny haha" so much as "funny **** off."

 

[mja]

What, like he gets his dry-cleaning for him or something?

 

[FlyerNutter]

I keep saying this every year, but this is one of the softest clubs I can remember.

Zero intensity, zero fire. The game has changed, and you need to change with it but this is ridiculous.

That needs to be one of the things that changes first and foremost next year. There are still clubs that play with snarl. Pathetic.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

wow...did you guys hear that?

"you don't become the 2nd best defensive team in the league by playing on your heels, even with the lead"-Bill Clement

Hak disagrees.

Hak was happy to be far from the 2nd best defensive team in the league.

 

[BiggE]

can they just pass on playing the last few games? lol

Why not? They certainly haven’t played these last 2

 

[Beef Invictus]

Remind me why we downgraded in net?

 

[Striiker]

yup...awful

Think he gets benched the rest of the game? Or next game?

I'm leaning "nah".

 

[BernieParent]

Seems like the team cant keep up with speed. Not sure if that's coaching or players anymore

Let's check our scorecard. The Flyers can't keep up with:

• Speed
• Physicality
• Skill
• Defensive responsibility
• Good goaltending

Did I miss anything?

 

[Flyrs21]

Hopefully Talbot pulls a Patrick Roy and says I'll never play for this organization again

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Holy ****, he stopped one.

At least that was a nice pass from Patrick.

Hart isnt a machine and he is still way young. Stoly didn't have much of a future on the Flyers. The MacDonald contract was part of the Homer years of not caring about the cap and it is not even close to the same situation.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Remind me why we downgraded in net?

Stolarz didn't matter either.

The trade made no sense, but they weren't interested in Stolarz long term, anyway.

 

[bennysflyers16]

Stolie won’t even Be in the he nhl next year, who cares

Competent coaching?
