i dont think farabee is going to make the team this year niether is frost thier both going to lv.

That would be a huge mistake but I guess we’ll see.

 

[Striiker]

Because AV wants Hagg in the lineup... someone has to make the move over

There is no doubt in my mind he sees Bieksa in Hagg... AV loves those types of players... AV was basically the best coach the Flyers could have got for Hagg to play

Then he could have just made it Sanheim-Hagg instead...

Sanheim should be on the left and Hagg has mostly played right side here. So having them flipped makes no sense.

AV will surprise everyone by having Frost centre G and TK.

No, they fired that guy.

Hagg doesn’t have a starting roster spot. He is likely the #7.

 

[kudymen]

kinda like your meltdown to av's quotes about hagg and sanheim.

What?

 

[Striiker]

Well he pushed Sanheim out of his position, so who knows.

Garbage post.

Well, it’s preseason and Couturier is on a maintenance day (read: contracted Patrick’s flesh eating bacteria), so I can see a new coaching staff trying it out, especially given we don’t have a lock 3rd center with Patrick’s situation. It’s not really something I’m concerned about. If they send Frost down, which is still very plausible given hockey guy stuff, it’s better than Laughton at 3C. Of course, they should very much not send Frost down. My worry tonight is if he gets good wingers and not Raffl/Twarynski.

I can't even buy the new coaching staff trying it for hockey guy reasons excuse. The numbers are the numbers. The difference in both 5v5 point totals and fancy stats are mind blowing when comparing his center vs wing play over the last few years.

Frost, Rubtsov, Vorobyev, Bunnaman, Raffl, or Laughton literally could not perform worse than what Giroux has done at center lately. You're just wasting your best winger.

What?

Think it has more to do with NOT playing with Coots as opposed to not playing on the wing. Everyone is exponentially better 5v5 playing with Coots.

Giving G one preseason game at center makes a hell of a lot more sense than playing Sanheim on his off side, 2 games in a row, with a plug.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Raffl at 1C, get your water skis out Fonzie.

Listen, you of all people talking about jumping the shark is pretty ****ing hilarious, I am not going to lie

Love you, syruphead.

Av’s thinking

Center depth
Coots
Giroux
Hayes
Patrick
Frost

Genius

If Hagg is playing over any of Provy, Sanheim, Niskanen, Ghost, Myers or Braun then AV is an imbecile.

I’m really hoping that AV is not an imbecile

Haven’t seen anywhere that that is even a consideration.

Hayes is the lock for 2nd line Center and appears with JVR and Jake, how do you have him at 3 on the depth chart ? Of all the games so far, that was our best line, makes sense to play them tonight again

Im teasing. But what if giroux playa well at center? That is essentially what our depth chart would look like

Giroux will play good at Center tonight, but he an Couts will be a tandem for as long as they are here imo.

 

[VladDrag]

NO Kakko tonight, was hoping to watch him

You'll see him 4-5 times a year for the next 10 years.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

Same. That kid can play.

 

[bennysflyers16]

Ya will Develop a quick hate for him and Hughes I’m guessing.

 

[fr9dd9]

Same. That kid can play.

What is the roster for rangers tonight? I get kakko wont play but anyhow.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

Makes perfect sense to play G at center with Couturier out. That’s what will probably happen if Couturier gets hurt in-season.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

This is it for Stewart. Playing on a line that is exactly what they’re looking for. With Andreoff being invisible, he can win a spot with a good game tonight in that role. Not saying it will happen, but it’s a huge opportunity for him personally.

I can’t agree with those who think Frost has been “stellar.” None of the kids, unfortunately, have stood out as clearly NHL ready. Certainly flashes here & there, but a lot of work to be done.

No kids have stood out. Carsen T has played a hard solid two way game so far and could have a chance.

I agree. Twarynski has been rock solid & with no one standing out he could steal the physical depth winger role. Has been good on the wall & forecheck. Huge game for him tonight.
