Na, it’s just pointing out the obvious. Way more ‘I told you so’ posters over his 6 games of good play than there is of people pointing out what is obvious. Took 6 good games to get his average to 894. He sucks, bad.
lol, the only thing obvious is your bias against Smith.
Anyone who has chosen to not pick sides when it comes to the goalies knows that Smith is one of the team's whipping boys. Sometimes it's deserving like the fourth goal but other times it's not.
Sounds like Razzmatazz is gonna be getting some PP time. Peters: " Now that we knows Razz has a bomb we're going to be putting that on display a lot more, 5v5, 6v5, 5v4 etc"
Strange quote. Either this is deadpan sarcasm or the team really should have other ways to find that out.
Gaskal, you're our only hope! Save what should be a glorious post game thread from the goalie debate!
Unless it’s a blowout win, the PGT is full of so much negativity win or lose. The ATL by Gaskal is the highlight of the thread and the only reason I hang around.

LETS DO A ####ING WIN

I haven’t watched an entire game live since a few massive let downs ago. I watch while working out.
Quote:
Really like these forward lines, lets see how it works out. Hard to see Patrick on the third line, but maybe it'll light a fire under his ass. He needs to be producing just a little better than 10 pts in 25 games to be on the second line. Don't get me wrong, I love the kid, he just needs to take that next step. LETS GO ORANGE AND BLACK!
Quote:
I like this lineup, very strong 3 lines on paper
Lets see if it translates.
LETS GO FLYERS CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP
Quote:
If we can make one great line into two really good lines then i think it's a win.
Quote:
Interested to see those lines. On one hand, there are real advantages to having Coots center G, but this spreads out some nice talent / depth down the C.

Look what happened when Calgary went from a totally incompetent rookie coach and radical youth leader, Gulutzan, and replaced him with a very competent coach.
Imagine. Imagine.
Quote:
Really hate the coaching at this point. Clear as day hack has no clue what he is doing. The lines are bad. But on top on that his deployment is makes them worse.
Quote:
ok we need this west coast swing to go with zero points..
#FireHak
Quote:
A really great first move by Fletcher, after firing Hakstol, would be to move Simmonds for younger 5v5 play-driver with speed to balance out the top 9. Kasperi Kapanen would be an amazing addition. He just does not fit with this roster anymore. I will miss him but it's time to move on.
Quote:
Put Lindblom with Patrick and actually give him ice time, get Ghost in with a sports psychologist, fire hak, acquire a top 4 defenseman, fire hak, fire lappy, hire quenneville, fire hak.
Quote:
Just a couple more embarrassments and Hakstol has to go.
C'mon Fletch, save the season! Save our mental health!
Quote:
He won’t be fired til Q is ready to come aboard, which won’t be til after the holidays.
Quote:
Flames just got shutout, by their archrivals, so will be pissed like the Jets were pissed.
Hold on to your butts.
Quote:
How many blowouts does a coach need to get fired? I get not beating the jets without your number 1C. But you don’t need to get blown out 7-1 and stop trying, basically no shots to finish the game.
Clearly Hak needs to go. But this group of players is lacking a good amount of creativity and skill, specifically shooting. Wiese can shoot for ****. Simmonds only has a jam play. Voracek, my god he can’t shoot at all. Patrick can’t hit the net. You have G and TK. Maybe Lindblom but you can barely see him play. I think we will need a Hughes to make this team relevant. Even with a good coach are we really going to beat Toronto, Tampa, Nashville or Winnipeg? We’d likely have to beat two of the above in a addition to two more which could be jackets or another team we can never beat anyway. A new coach, Frost, Myers and Hart May put us up there with the above teams but it seems like we need more than just 30+ G if we want to get a cup. And with a
Healthy G you’d have to get very lucky to lottery Hughes.
These are dark says for sure. I would start with firing Hak. Knob interim until Q then he does to the AHL. Trade simmer.

Bennett looks so weird with that mustache.
Quote:
When is this team going to realize Gostisbehere is a total liability defensively, if he isn’t scoring consistently he has negative value as a defenseman. They need to move him to left wing where he won’t kill them like he just did tonight. Pathetic!
Quote:
It’s just too ####ing easy
Game after game
Quote:
I mean sanhiem getting hurt and not being able to get off the ice was a big reason that goal happened just #### luck on that one.

If you watched the replay you’d see Robert Hagg literally sit and watch the guy bury the shot.

The Tkachuks have a lot of points against us this year

Bloody hell.
Why can’t we have nice things.
Quote:
Easy goal against after a pretty good start. Typical.
Quote:
Hagg had no idea he was a defensemen there
Quote:
Flyers were up 7- or 8-0 in shots, Sanheim then gets hurt, we give up a goal. This is totally headed towards another meltdown
System Failure
Quote:
Also. I have been observing something of late. Many people seem to note that we are a slow hockey team which fascinates me as we have some damn fast skaters. I am now convinced that it is our system that does this and not the players themselves. We win a lot of races against guys that are super fast, but we play this lateral game all the way down the ice until we can do our corner pitch and chase to get the puck up to the points.
It’s just a ####ty ####ty system.
Quote:
I swear Hagg has his shoot and pass buttons confused. He passes and it’s a damn rocket no matter how close the other player is. His shots I feel are soft lobs.
Quote:
It kills me watching the forwards try to make these small passes up ice while they’re practically right on top of each other instead of finding open ice. They just trudge right into the defense and lose it in the neutral zone.
Quote:
First 6-7 minutes good. Last 13-14 minutes pretty bad.

They play safe in every aspect and it kills them
Quote:
Dead last in team save % at .879.
Next worst is .887.
Of the bottom 8 teams in save %, 6 are below .500 in pts %, 1 is exactly .500, & an outlier is .586 (Columbus).
Quote:
"Let's sign a veteran 3C, you know, for a year or two, so the Pimp can get to the more reasonable age of, like, 2-****ing-6 or whatever before he tries to play for the Flyers, because we are scared of all the terrible mistakes he might make even from the bench for all but five mother****ing minutes per game, unlike Dale Weise who, you know, at least does nothing at all whatsoever."

Not much chance for Stolie there

Monahan has one of the best shots in the league, but Stolie’s really not looking like the answer.

I remember we talked about Patrick's potential as a better Monahan. I'm not team negative and a believer and not irrational given usage, etc.........but I could settle for Monahan right now tbh. Monahan's 2nd season at age 20: 30g/60p.

I wish Patrick and TK would heat up like Monahan.

Guys I think we should come up with a different PK system.
Fire Hakstol.

A few seconds left in the game, up by one goal, I noted two players that were on the ice: Dale Weise and Andrew MacDonald. That’s all.

Had my own game tonight so missed the third. Looked at my phone before hitting the ice and it was 5-3 with four minutes to go. So was mad for our game. And I played crappy lol. Got back into the room and looked at my phone again and 6-5 in OT and turned my frown upside down!
Oh and:
NSFW!

lol, the only thing obvious is your bias against Smith.
Anyone who has chosen to not pick sides when it comes to the goalies knows that Smith is one of the team's whipping boys. Sometimes it's deserving like the fourth goal but other times it's not.
Pointing out what is obvious to anyone watching and is backed up by very real statistical evidence is not bias. I was one that actually thought he was an ok option going into this year. It’s just so clear that that position was really stupid. I just can’t believe there is a single person still defending him. He’s not an NHL level starter and he is not a whipping boy. Was Brouwer a whipping boy? Maybe you think he was? in my opinion he was just terrible on this hockey team and pointing that out had nothing to do with a bias, and the team showed that they agreed by buying him out. Smith is much worse for this team than Brouwer ever was, given the weight of the position with surrounding high caliber talent around him. He can’t be the regular starter, regardless of whether Rittich is the guy. If he isn’t then you find someone else. But it can’t be Mike Smith.
This was an interesting comment, something many said about GG's system as well.

The come back is nice but even better is Smith might be hurt.
Disappointing post, even when fans are frustrated they should never hope that players get injured. I have never understood why fans would cheer for injuries to players on their own team.
