Confirmed with Link: Flyers claim Mike McKenna (G) off waivers

[Appleyard]

Raffl wasn't even picked in the expansion draft when Vegas could get him for free. I doubt we'd get a lot for him.

However, they did turn down picks for him in 2016 before re-signing. They thought about trading him at the time. Florida would not meet the 2x 2nd round picks asked apparently. But were not crazy far off.

Florida apparently felt he was only going to end up re-signing with the Flyers in the offseason so there wasn’t much confidence in extending him past that half of year.

Yeah, who knows. Maybe there is a team that thinks he would be the perfect fit for their bottom 6. Stranger things have happened.

the blues got a 1st round pick for reaves lol

 

[GoldenSeal]

Pulling for Mike to do well in Philly.

Might not get a start, but here's hoping he plays well if he does.

He might not get a start, but might get some game action.

 

[Garbage Goal]

Yes, but much like why play a NAK when you have a Lehtera why play a Lyon when you got a McKenna. #f***development #dontforgetthecocaine

Seriously though, f*** this team.

 

[Garbage Goal]

People cry that Scott is gonna force trades to improves this year.
He doesn't do that and people cry they aren't doing anything.

This is all on Hexy, his coach stank can't just be rubbed off, his NHL goalie choices, that 95% of us here predicted would blow up on us has exploded.

Neuvy should never see the ice as a Flyer ever again. He stole 5 mill dollars from us the same way Farmer stole, 30, **** em both

There is a massive middle ground between forcing trades to improve the team this year and not doing anything. Including swapping AMac for Myers, selling Simmonds, giving guys like Lindblom meaningful minutes, hiring a real coaching staff, etc.

Makes sense people will “cry” when they make literally almost every move except the right ones or necessary ones.

Where can I buy my McKenna Stadium Series Jersey?

Haha! This really made me laugh out loud.

 

[Pantokrator]

I'm down for this! I am excited to tie the NHL record for bad goalies in a season! I'm hoping we can break it. Might as well have something to look forward to this season. I am wanting to trade for Talbot to help Edmonton free up Cap space and make it 8 goalies.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

I hope Hart learns from McKenna - you don't want to get married.

your optimism gives me hope in these trying times.

 

[Bruckuss]

Moseyed over to the 'nucks board for a second on account of that thread being on the front news page lol

One of their posters says "Why don't you just keep Hart up?" I wanted to respond, he IS up, and well here's the thing, we don't really have anyone else left..

I felt sad, so I left and had a beer instead.

Welcome and good luck, Mike! We are on the verge of contending for a win

 

[Embiid]

Lmao...who is this guy? Seriously....

This goalie situation has reached a new low

If it makes you feel any better, he beat us earlier this season when he was on the Sens.

AND, he just might turn out to be a hall of famer if he plays, how fun is that

 

[magnumpi]

it seems the fan base is united in negativity, including myself.

Personally, I was on board with Hextall.
So I guess all the people who liked Hextall are now on board with all the people who are discontented which is everyone else.
We're all opposed to the rudderless direction.

This is the most united the fan base has been since the acquisition of Lindros...... just talking out my ass here with this final statement,

 

[Alex K]

Too soon.

Yeah, 22.3 years haven't passed yet

 

[Adam Warlock]

Why the hell is such a big deal being made out of this on twitter? Like this guy has all of a sudden become viral for literally no reason.

 

[pit]

Keep Gudas, call-up Myers, incinerate MacDonald.

This sounds like a game of shoot/shag/marry but with roster decisions.

Keep/Call-up/Incinerate ...this could be fun

Because his wife started complaining about him being away from the kids. Apparently he is being forced to be a journeyman goalie. He cant get a job that allows his family stability...because reasons.

 

[Angry Hockey Dad]

This team is an absolute mother f***ing joke.

 

[Angry Hockey Dad]

Is McKenna the first NHL goalie with a family?
