2019-20 Quest for the cup(The Carter Hart era begins)

[lasgop8]

Farabee burning out is a legit concern. It happens a lot with guys that go the NCAA route. The most games he's played in a year was 62, back in 2017-18 with the USNTDP. Against kids. When he was very much a kid. He played 37 games against college kids last year. This year he's played 49 games against men. He may not be burned out now, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if he is later in the year. I like having the additions. He'll probably come back up for the playoffs and if the matchup calls for it, I'm sure Fletch/AV will get him in the lineup. The 2nd line looked pretty damn good with Laughton in his place wouldn't you say?

The "Anchor" has 1 more point than Hayes and is +3 to Hayes' -8. Obviously Hayes brings other things to the table, but calling JvR an anchor while showering Hayes with praise really is ridiculous. You guys don't like him, we get it. He's still contributing to this team in a positive and meaningful way.

Did you just seriously compare Teapots game to Hayes because that's just laughable.I like the way you just brush over Hayes game with a passing comment about "obviously Hayes brings other things to the table". That is wayyyyy undervaluing Hayes impact on the "other things" he brings. The fact is JVR was brought here for 2 reasons and that is to score goals and to make our PP much better. Well he was taken off PP1 because he only has 4 PP goals and he is tied for 81st in the league in goals. 7 million dollars could've bought a much much much better player that would contribute to this team in a much more positive way.

The Flyers have an elite penalty kill and it’s only getting better

What a coincidence a story about some of the others things Hayes brings to the table.

Hayes 4 shorthanded goals
JVR 4 PP goals

No I just threw out those names as interchangeable parts for the fourth line, play which 3 you deem should be playing.

There is no way you or anyone else can say Farabee hasn't earned his playing time this season. And now we're worried about overplaying him lol. The thing I like about Farabee in the line up is it gives us the potential to have a 1a and 1 b lines, then your 3rd line is almost a 2 a line and that's where we can beat a lot of teams. Not saying the new guys won't be good for resting a couple of guys but I'm sorry tjust don't want them starting taking up valuable spots come playoff time. The bigger problem is 8 out of 9 forwards on this team have outplayed the Anchor this season so what do you do with him?

Don't forget, a few weeks ago Farabee had the flew and lost about 10 lbs. He put most of it back on, but he really needed that extra weight.

Farabee is a winger.

Really love how laughton has developed.

Had a lot of promise as a young player. He was team Canadas captain at the world juniors.
Took him a few years but he is a solid and important part of this team

Teapot plays two way hockey..

1) fat ass facing net
2) fat ass facing away from the net

Actually - I think he is playing way better than at beginning of season... still some work to do on D.... but he is moving much better, and has made some really nice primary assists

Imagine getting 7 million dollars per year and the best someone could say about a player is he is moving much better and has some primary assists. Id love that job.

Philadelphia Flyers sign Manheim Central's Blake Steigauf to 1-day contract

JVR has been playing much better in the last month . Lets face it we need him scoring in the playoffs to provide depth.


Big home and home here. Caps lost last night . Good chance to take advantage

Well since JVR is 81st in the league in scoring relying on him to score in the playoffs is not the best strategy. . We have been playing just fine without him scoring.

It would be nice to take all 4 points in the next two games but ill settle for 3 of 4 being our home/road splits have been coming around more to the even side.
