[Captain Dave Poulin]

Is he gone? Tell me he's gone.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Is he gone? Tell me he's gone.

OP photo works again. Oh, wait.

 

[Magua]

Godspeed, Gandalf Manchu.

 

[TheKingPin]

From Dave Scotts heart to the waiver wire.

 

[deadhead]

Doubt he'll get claimed, rebuilding teams don't want 29 year old forwards with no upside, PO teams don't have a role for him (not a checker or enforcer, not good enough offensively for a 3rd line role, similar to Weal in that regard).

Would be worth bringing back to the Phantoms next year as a veteran.

 

[Kelmitchell2]

The franchise has been waived!?!? What will the authentic dumbasses do now!?!? At least they still have the best physical specimen, the man. The myth. The legend ZMAC

 

[Flyer lurker]

I truly am shocked that Yeo didn't turn him into a 3rd liner and that his goal streak was only a heater. No one could see that coming.

 

[macleish1974]

Mayhew had 15 minutes of fame and tons of memories. He will be on the PHAntoms team soon enough. He and Fitzgerald will be the 29th and 30th PHAntoms..

 

[Beef Invictus]

This will be a shock to everyone on the internet who can't grasp shooting percentage.

 

[Fight4yourRight]

Lol. After all the nauseating stroking by clueless Dave Scott, and force fed 2/3rd line EV minutes, wouldn’t you know it, he actually was useless and just on a heater after all.

 

[mja]

Morgan Frost strikes again! He broke poor Gerry. Will his reign of terror know no end?

 

[deadhead]

To give Mayhew credit, despite his lack of size, he's willing to go to the dirty areas and take punishment to score goals.
That does elevate your Sh%.
He's not a NHL caliber forward, but he's not a bad callup option on your AHL team when you have a string of injuries.
Like Seeler, he's fine for a week or two, but if you need him for a month or two you've got serious problems.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Surprised they didn’t milk his shooting heater for all it was worth. He’s still at 19.4%. He’s got 3 shots on goal in his last 9 games though.

 

[Tripod]

Like Seeler, he is garbage.
Like Seeler, no one played him in the NHL last year
Like Seeler, he played on the Flyers.
Like Seeler and Gary, Stewart was a non NHLer one year, then a Flyer in the NHL

At least mome of this ever matters because a a they won't play. I don’t think any have even been on the ice for a goal against they matter so little.

 

[FLYguy3911]

From getting praise from Dave Scott at a press conference to waived. Life comes at ya fast.

 

[DancingPanther]

So many smoothbrains are going to be pissed about this lol

Never forget Ghost was waived. Lumping him in with Gerry Mayhew quality players. Tremendous

 

[DancingPanther]

This will be a shock to everyone on the internet who can't grasp shooting percentage.

Just on the internet? There are some people in Flyers management that are shocked by this. And praying he isn't claimed

 

[DrinkFightFlyers]

Big move coming!

 

[Flyer lurker]

The franchise has been waived!?!? What will the authentic dumbasses do now!?!? At least they still have the best physical specimen, the man. The myth. The legend ZMAC

Lets hope Fletch doesn't include a 2 when Mayhew isn't claimed.

 

[swami24]

Must need a little salary cap space and roster spot for the upcoming trade.

 

[Henry Miller]

Noooo. The dream is over. I thought he was a sure fire 40 goal guy

 

[deadhead]

Like Seeler, he is garbage.
Like Seeler, no one played him in the NHL last year
Like Seeler, he played on the Flyers.
Like Seeler and Gary, Stewart was a non NHLer one year, then a Flyer in the NHL

Blame Hextall and all those mid-round forwards who didn't even become 4th line stalwarts.

 

[Tripod]

Blame Hextall and all those mid-round forwards who didn't even become 4th line stalwarts.

Yeah because Fletch had no choice but to sign trash for the 4th line or depth D.

Maybe if Flefch didn't have a Minny kink, he could think more clearly.

 

[kudymen]

something happened 9 months ago - Dont blame Fletcher, that was last year, water under the bridge

something happened 4-5 years ago - Stupid Hextall!
