agreed. He can set up a screen with the best of them. Just look... big and stupid.

Team penalty minutes go WAY up

cotmfk · 01-09-2019, 08:36 AM

Just checked the standings. What is going on in Calgary?

Any fans on here? That position look sustainable for them?

Sold. 3C Gritty.

Another L last night. Expected when you are starting Mike McKenna vs the Caps.
Up to 8 in a row now. #lughesforhughes in full effect!

Can't fire any more coaches or GM's, is there anyone else in the organizaaation that has the name hextall or hackstall or anything that sounds remotely like that. FIRE THEM TOO!!

I'd think about putting Gritty behind the bench ... just till the end of season. Those big feet of his could kick Claude Giroux in the ass if needed.

Yeah...I recall the end of November. Pens where in dead last place in the East. Funny how stringing some games together helps.

Just picked up some away games...heading to Phoenix and Vegas to support D'Burgh next weekend. Maybe I'll swing by the Grand Canyon if they didnt close it

I have a rule about LA - pretty simple one too, 'Don't go there'

Eventually I'll do the trip there to hit LA and the Ducks...only so much you can do in a year though.

What's wrong with LA? we get a few visitors now and then that like it

See that...I was smart not to go. Only thing I would have gotten out of that was a little snoop DJ and a big L.

Glad the Pens broke that away game win streak...believe they'll be focused more for the games I'm hitting now

PA135ii · 01-13-2019, 02:45 PM

9 in a row and counting for the flyers. Things going good.. Time for Gritty.

They ended that streak at 8. Starter Hart had that nice win against Dallas.

Isn't Philly on their 12th starting goalie at moment. How do the kids in Philly even know what jersey to buy?

Finally, how's the love for your team going to be when Simmonds becomes a Penguin?

The Flyers suck. they have been firing coaches named Hextall or sounds like Hackstol.... their net is a shooting gallery at a carnival. They are in free fall and I blame that big stupid orange thing on skates !!!!!! GRITTY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

8th starting goalie. Get it right.

I don't think anyone is buying jerseys right now, that's the problem.

You want to sign Simmer, go for it. I love Simmer, there's nothing that guy wouldn't do for his team but I don't want to have that bad contract on the books for the next 7-8 years. Especially when we have JVR now who is a similar player but better.
I've been hearing reports that Edmonton is interested in him. Maybe we can get Draisaitl from Chirelli out of the deal

It's not Gritty's fault that the old GM was a hoarder of assets and the old coach was a moron. Gritty is probably the only thing that has saved this from being a total dumpster fire.

Chill out- it's a lost season. They're gonna get a top 5 pick and will get a new coach in the offseason. Got plenty of assets to move in trades and rebuild this team.
Raffl and Simmer will be moved. Weal has already been moved. Probably trade Gudas, maybe Jake. There will be plenty of openings for the prospects to fill. Voro, Myers, NAK, Morin or Friedman. Get the kids some reps at the end of the season and move into the offseason and bring in Q. I think Chuck has a plan.

I think Simmonds is UFA at the end of the year? I'm sure he will be traded for something. I wouldn't mind trading something to have him for a cup run. I agree, though... his next contract is probably going to cost too much in the end.

infinitekidM2C · 01-15-2019, 12:27 PM

The theme of this year's hockey thread is that the Flyers suck. With runner up going to the Kings suck.

And the Flyers have a much cooler mascot in Gritty

cotmfk · 01-16-2019, 08:33 AM

Caps apparently picked up whatever it is the Flyers have. Been playing like junk lately - see the stinker last night vs. Predators.

Yea UFA after this year. And vastly underpaid in his previous contracts so I can bet he wants a payday.
Don't blame him either. Just don't want to be the one to give him that bad contract.

@ the Flyers suckiness being contagious. Just hope you dont catch whatever the Flyers goalies have.

So, the ducks have lost 12 in a row and are STILL 5 games above the 'king guys?? - smh
