[CanadianFlyer88]

Hedman injured and won't return tonight.

Likely no update until tomorrow.

Watching this game... I do not know why would Tampa trade for Simmonds.

Same. Same for Toronto and Winnipeg. Slightly less so for Vegas.

I think he makes sense for Boston, Nashville.

I don’t why anyone would if we’re being honest but someone will.

Boston needs scoring... and you think it's a good idea to trade for Simmonds?

Simmonds for Cernak get it done Chuck.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

We almost lost Pierre.

 

[Glak18]

The problem with Hakstol was he typically had not just one but two try-hard’s in his top four.

Make no mistake Hakstol is not an NHL coach, the only coach that is possibly worse recently for the Flyers is John Stevens.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Crazy game in Chicago

Kane goal
Strome goal

Delia already pulled by Hawks , Sens may pull goalie

4-3 Hawks in 1st

Yep Anderson coming in now

 

[Chinatown88]

We almost lost Pierre.

He's a treasure of the sport.

Simmer would probably be the B's 2RW.

Imagine if they had taken 2 of Barzal/Boeser/Konecny in 2015.

We had no depth, both on defense and the bottom six.

Yes. The depth was not good.

However the depth was not bad to the degree to play a 6th/7th dman for over 20 minutes a game routinely. Was our depth in D so much worse compared to the 2019 Oilers that we had to play Manning for 4 or 5 minutes more a game on average? It was bad. It wasn't this "no other choice (((" bad.

And even if it were. How far removed from each other would a GM and a coach be not to address such glaring need for 3 seasons (as in we had to play a 6/7th dman for over 16 minutes a game in 15-16 and then for over 18 minutes in 16-17 and almost 18 in 17-18 - compared to 13:25 by the corpseless 2019 Oilers)?
If you play a 6/7th dman way over his supposed role for one year, sure bad depth. If you increase his role significantly for the next two years too (or don't seek any replacement to move his deployment down closer to proper usage - we had the assets to do it as opposed to the 2019 Oilers), the hell are you doing

Jackets did not play yesterday.. why is Bob not in the net?

 

[kudymen]

Simmonds for Cernak get it done Chuck.

He is so huge! That alone will win 2 play-off series!

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Another point for Kucherov lol.

 

[Cody Webster]

Another point for Kuch

 

[tictactoe]

shitty skater too.

 

[baudib1]

Tampa wouldn't trade Cernak for two Simmonds.

 

[baudib1]

Has Kucherov ever not scored a point?

 

[flyersfan018]

Jackets did not play yesterday.. why is Bob not in the net?

They play tomorrow.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Kane’s on a crazy point streak where typically he’d be gaining ground but he’s really not with Kucherov going off too.

Yeah typical, he can score lots of points when his team's out of it. What has he ever done in the play .. oh nvm.

Here's your new home forum:

The AHL

I made that joke on the main board before coming here now to see that you had made it two hours earlier than I did. Damn it!


I would say good joke but then it just looks like I'm complimenting my own.

(But good joke)

He’ll very likely be the greatest American born player by the end of his career.
