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

[lasgop8]

Wow. That game was ugly. Gotta win games vs these bad teams. The schedule gets tougher and this should have been an easier two points.

When Justin braun is your best player there is something really wrong.

 

[lasgop8]

Let’s talk about Tyler Pitlick

Pitlick > and cheaper than Hartman

 

[lasgop8]

The discrepancy in the Flyers’ goaltending at home vs. on the road is staggering

For the rest of the season Im not opposed to playing Hart at home and Elliot on the road.

 

[lasgop8]

Im gonna take Gee for the first tally tonight.

We are 14th PP and 12th PK. Its crazy but that is an improvement over the last couple of years. Maybe we could add Babcock into the mix and have 4 former head coaches on the bench.

More personal on the ice then on the coaches box lol.

 

[Chris p Bacon]

That was so bad from start to finish. The players need to execute a lot better.

Good thing about this team is you can tell In the first 10 minutes how the game will go. Saves a lot of un-needed anxieties.

My big problem with Giroux is I just don't think he's a 'clutch' player. For all of his stats and skills, it seems that when he is needed the most is when he blends in with the ice.

When can any of us say... "Giroux really carried the team on his back when we needed him".

I'm not totally throwing him under the bus, which I have in the past, IDK..... just p!sses me off sometimes.

Ok, I'm done with the G bashing.... I'm going with Sandheim tonight

Ive went 10 rounds with Awaz on this many a time plus many other posters . Im in total agreement with you.

Don't get me wrong.... I wouldn't get rid of him. Like Chris P said above, you know in 10 minutes what the game is likely to be... it's those times (when the first 5 minutes are looking shaky) that I'd like to see G go effin' nuts.

His value is down we wouldn't get much even if we tried trading him.

Can someone explain to me why Phil Myers is a plus 18 (top 10 in the league)and has to sit every other night

Possibly as a "load management" method to avoid the rookie wall? He has never played a season of more than 63 games. So having played 28 games this year between the phantoms and flyers, that projects out to be around 58 games if he played his current ratio. I would expect they would want him to play more in the stretch run for the playoffs so he is just over that 63 game mark by the time the playoffs start.

I have nothing to base this on except my own logic haha

OK I checked my own numbers and I lied to everyone he played 81 games in the 2018-19 season. So I am changin my argument to maybe that was a huge workload for him to make the jump and they are easing him into this years season.

How about 2 seasons ago when he passed 100 pts and was second in MVP voting

He should have won MVP that year.... on paper. Maybe the fact that he had ONE game winning goal that season had something to do with him not winning the MVP. He is a highly skilled and productive player... I'm not arguing that point.

PS.. .that tied him with Jordan Weal.

He was having back spasms a few weeks ago. I know he missed one game, at least, for that reason.

I wonder how many game winning goals he set up that year

Teams would be lining up las. You know it as well as I do. Every team that could figure out the cap, would want to add him.

I’ll let you guys ramble on about Giroux and underrate him as you do. But I’m going to call you out when it gets ridiculous.
