Recalled/Assigned: Aube-Kubel and Goulbourne up, Vorobyev down

[Curufinwe]

Playing 8 out of 11 games qualifies as being scratched most games?

If you mean Weise, I believe he's been a healthy scratch 43 out of the last 99 games. If JVR and Raffl hadn't got hurt I doubt he would have played more than a couple of games this season. Hak clearly rates Lehtera above him. Hextall does too, since he put Weise on waivers instead of Jori.

Lol.

Is this a real sign?

Feels passive aggressive in that it's a sign.

10/10 something Jeff would do

I love how worked up people get about calling up Goulbourne on a 4-7 team that is playing with no fight & is an embarrassment to everything the franchise stands for. If you’re going to go down, at least leave a mark.

Exactly. All the teams top players are f***in boring as f*** to watch too.

That's NOT what she said.

Set myself up for that one, didn’t I?

Flyers need a D call-up ffs...somebody whose name rhymes with Flyers!

 

[BillDineen]

I believe that sign has been up for years. Could be wrong, but I think it has been at least 2 or 3 years.

Anyway, Goul is the GM equivalent of wearing the same underwear after a win until you lose and actually being stupid enough to believe the underwear was the reason. One hit didn't cause a winning streak. He barely played and did literally nothing else.

Disgraceful. Fire Hextall.

 

[deadhead]

Goul is irrelevant, how much did he play last time he was called up?

NAK is the player that matters, hopefully he'll win a job (I don't believe in gifting young players unless they're uber-talents).

The team is an embarrassment to the Flyers’ logo. They are 4-7 & have zero identity. I don’t think Hakstol is nearly as bad as many on this board, but they have no emotion in a sport where emotion is crucial.

 

[Curufinwe]

That sign has definitely been around since the Berube/Vinny days.

Bring on the Cup!

Exactly, he is irrelevant. Why bother calling up an irrelevant guy to a lifeless team? Seems kinda useless to me.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

Whatever happened to the “We Supply Everything But Guts” sign?

Because, just like last season, they’ve lost their identity. People here like to ridicule the notion that emotion matters in hockey, but it does, as evidenced by their performance this season. It’s an embarrassment to the franchise.

Even if it worked, what seems kind of embarassing to me is that the locker room is so lost they need to annualy call up a guy who plays 3 minutes a game and smiles - as the only possible solution to spark and motivate the guys.

I myself dont ridicule the idea of emotion in hockey (hell I love the 2012 Pens series), I ridicule the idea that Tyrell Goulbourne is the only tool this organization has to do this.

Passionless bunch.

 

[Alchemy]

With the mood of the board all offseason and preseason, you had to know it was going to be a long year.

 

[Tripod]

Just like their coach. They play without emotion because Hak wants that.

Not to mention, playing with emotion can lead to more penalties....and our PK has been broke for years.

So the best PK, is never to be on it.

The odd thing is that Hakstol defends emotional play, such as when Simmonds takes a penalty standing up for a teammate. So I don’t think he’s against emotion in his players. But conjuring it up doesn’t seem to be his strong suit.

Hakstol on emotion - taken right from the Weise's mouth.

You’ve got to prove yourself over time, that’s all. There’s no quick pathway, I’ll tell you this, I felt like when I came here three years ago just by listening and watching some things, I felt like on our bench and part of our team there was wasted emotion, some misdirected emotion. That was one thing we needed to work at correcting early on, so I’m pretty guarded by nature, I don’t want the TV cameras on me and everything else. I’m not there to put on a show. I felt like we had to reel in some of the wasted emotion. ... At the end of the day I’m going to do what I think is right for our team and try to provide what our team needs. It’ll never be for show in front of a camera or anybody else.

He's done everything in his power to coach emotion out of this team.

Just shows how out of touch the brain trust is. This team feeds on emotion.
Post Richards-Carter all of this core's best moments have come in chippy, high intensity games.

Its interesting that Hex targeted Weise and overplays and him and he's the one talking about "misguided emotions"
