GDT: #82 | Hurricanes at FLYERS | Sun., April 9, 2017 | 7:00 pm ET | CSN-PH, FS-CR

Cant we lose 2-1 or something? Embarassing Stolie isnt necessary lol.

Actually id like to see Giroux hit 60 points so a 3-2 loss with a goal and assist for Giroux would be perfect. A point for Provy to hit 30 would also be sweet.

I'm assuming that the Flyers will play their balls off and score a ton (Vandevelde hat trick?) in an effort to screw up the draft pick, because we can't have nice things. We're going to need to compensate for that by letting in quite a few goals.

 

[Garbage Goal]

If I did my math right, we can jump from 12th overall to 9th overall with a regulation loss here and a win of any kind by LA, right?

 

[boxcar65]

Manning is out for the final game of the year???? And for Robert Hagg??? Yeah, ok. Boxcar is not a happy camper.

 

[Hockeypete49]

We really need a regulation loss. This is not negotiable. Possibly picking 10th or 13th is a huge deal.

Not in this draft. The scouts really have their work cut out for them this year. I want big wingers who can score! AKA more fatso's.

PS Nice GDT Cap

 

[Striiker]

I'll believe it when I see it.

Hagg is 100x the player the Mutt is.

 

[Magua]

Waiting for the news that Cousins and Vecchione have suddenly fallen ill.

Better if it was Mason and Stolarz...

The future is now. Time to watch Manning tumble down the depth chart.

 

[Tripod]

To give the game to Hagg, and not Sanheim, do we think it's any indication on who they think is most ready for next year?

I do. Any time management is asked about Sanheim, they say there is no rush and he is in a good place. I think they plan on giving him another year in the AHL.

 

[mja]

Well done on the 'Miller's Crossing' gifs. That movie is criminally underrated.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Not really as I don't think they're competing for the same spots. I'd imagine Hagg got the call because he fills the role that Manning does & I guess with Morin playing a lot this week between the NHL/AHL perhaps they wanted to give him a break.

 

[Laveuglette]

Might be the Canes last game ever.

Good that Hagg is playing, however I'd like to see more of Morin.

 

[Striiker]

Probably more of a situation where Hagg is rewarded for paying his dues on the Phantoms for multiple seasons.

Hägg played his 200 ahl game the other night, so I think they're rewarding him with a taste of the NHL. Feels like he's had a pretty good season down there also, except the injury. I'm happy for him

 

[BritainStix]

Hagg is going to start with the big club next year. No more manbearbig!

 

[dats81]

Well earned. Hägg may have been the Phantoms' most consistent allround defenseman this season.

Seems to be Hextall's way of showing them a piece of the cake to work for during the summer break.

 

[Stizzle]

Might be the Canes last game ever.

What?

 

[Striiker]

What?

I believe he thinks they're getting relocated.

 

[Stizzle]

PS Nice GDT Cap

All the draft gurus here seem to disagree with you. A drop in "tiers" happens right where we're potentially picking.

 

[Curufinwe]

Probably more of a situation where Hagg is rewarded for paying his dues on the Phantoms for multiple seasons.

Exactly. This is a game where the result doesn't matter, so it's not a question of necessarily calling up the best player. Sanheim is clearly the best of the three.

 

[boxcar65]

After thinking more about this, I've calmed down a bit. They are playing Schultz and MDZ because it's their last game with the Flyers. Ditto perhaps(hopefully)for AMac. Manning should be in the top 6 next year as their warrior/heart/grit/enforcer D-man, so he doesn't need to play tonight. Let the second coming of Gus have his taste of glory.

 

[Curufinwe]

I do. Any time management is asked about Sanheim, they say there is no rush and he is in a good place. I think they plan on giving him another year in the AHL.

That's not Hextall said about Sanheim this past week. He said the difference between his game in October and his game now was like "night and day".

 

[Maurice of Orange]

I'll be at the WFC tonite, looking forward to Hagg's debut, I also hope Vecchione gets a little more TOI tonite.
