Post-Game Talk: #26: Blue Jackets 4 at FLYERS 3 (OT), Thursday, Dec. 6, 2018, 7:00 p.m. ET

[Captain Dave Poulin]

How much of Johnsson’s G/60 is because of the Flyers?

That's a great point for real

 

[gertbfrobe16]

I’m part of no hive.

Im team insanity.

sounds like you got a bee in yer bonnet.

Hey guys, remember. Hakstol was only a bad coach because his GM was forcing him to do things.

 

[bennysflyers16]

Simmer over JVR is idiotic in any scenario

Hak is a shitty coach who had full support of Hexy. Let’s hope Fletch is smarter than him and acts quickly.

 

[Angry Hockey Dad]

I missed most the game, how'd it go? Up by 1 in 3rd, Hakshell, late tying goal, swift OT loss? Cool

 

[Adtar02]

How much of Johnsson’s G/60 is because of the Flyers?

Probably .50. He played less than ten mins that night

 

[FlyerNutter]

Why is JVR on this team? When will his year begin, because he seems like he's completely lost out there.
Also, why is Lethera and MacDonald still on the active roster? They should be healthy scratches for the remainder of their Flyers careers.
Vorachek has also been out of position constantly! I know he has a no trade clause in his contract, but that shouldn't give him the allowance to take nights off like he did tonight.
I hope Fletcher noticed how dead on their skates this team was before Sanheim scored twice to tie it up in the third.
They were getting out-shot throughout the entire game.......ON THEIR HOME ICE, IN FRONT OF THEIR NEW BOSS!

He’s on the team because of Dave Scott.

Foot, Gert, not hand lol

lol i don't judge. more than one way to skin a sausage.

Voracek doesn't have a no trade clause. Giroux and simmonds do

Quick G snipe.
Farmer played 23 mins
5 straight penalties, killed them all

Down 2 goals, Sanheim Ghost play with top line, go f***ing bananas and Sanheim gets 2 goals, break up pair, back to slop and lose in OT of Couts gaffe. Hak hockey to a tee.

Oh, bloody hell.....my mistake. In that case, could Vorachek and JVR please be dealt?

Sanheim got 2 goals? Wooo that's sweet. Can't believe that pairing would get split up that's hilariously bad. Oh well, I've stopped caring about the season a few weeks back.

 

[Jtown]

its going to be hard to get rid of jvr

Stoltz went bananas on some of those pks.

 

[Rebels57]

MacDonald over 20 min again.

Its pretty clear he was being scratched because of Hextall. Its probably why Hak went behind his back and helped get him canned.

What a disaster.

 

[Alex K]

Another Hakstol-ish game. Looks like I haven't missed much.

 

[Striiker]

The Flyers propaganda machine is defending Hakstol so proudly.

Count me as part of a group that thinks it’s because they notice the fans are so against him, and they want to turn that tide.

We must be unyielding in our response.

They can't accept that they know less than the fans so they're going to go against whatever we say and remain in denial. Especially the dumb ex-players.

 

[BuriedInIce]

It's hard for me to watch other games these days because it drives me insane watching every other NHL team set up high quality chances instead of working the perimeter.

I was reading through and was just about to post this. I don't understand it. How do other teams get so many high quality scoring chances off the rush AND with offensive zone time? And how come they make it look
so easy?

I watch Dallas frequently. I'm just blown away that hockey can be played with speed, offensive skill, and defensive aptitude all in one package.

He scores all of his goals around the net and the Flyers system is based around shots from damn near the neutral zone. Its a match made in hell. On top of that, he hasnt played with a good playmaker yet. We wont get any value out of him until Hak is fired.

 

[Foggy14]

Provorov is overrated.

It’s mystifying

Remember when Provy was the hockey android? Does anyone know how to do a factory reset on him?

Provy has hands of stone.

Provorov - what happened to you? Were you ever really that good?

Well, Wilson's first job was to get Sanheim going. Check.

His next job is to "fix" Provy.

Seriously, something's being going on with Provy all season, and it's not good.

He's been noticeably worse with the puck and he doesn't seem as physical to me.

It's possible that he has an overhang from the bad shoulder injury in game five of the playoffs.

It's possible that a certain defense coach who's no longer around was screwing with his game.

My pet theory is that he's playing with a cut-down stick this season and it's messed with his puck handling and, as a result, his confidence.

After the game in Anaheim, I posted this:

"Speaking of Provy, I have a theory about his early season problems with the puck. It sure looks to me that he's using a cut-down stick. The last time the boys were in Anaheim I looked at their stick rack during warm-ups. Provy's stick was the tallest on the team. Last night he was using a stick that was average in length; just slightly longer than Gudas and shorter than Hägg, Sanheim and Folin. In warm-ups, Provy spent most of his time at center ice working on his puck-handling. During that time, I didn't see the distinctive "raised right elbow" that was so much a part of his look during his first two years in the League. Have you guys read anything about this? If accurate, an interview with Provy about the change would be interesting."

I could be off base on this, but I'd love for a guy like Meltzer, or Isaac, to do some digging and report on what exactly is going on with our Russian machine.

If I was being utilized like JVR I would play like shit too. The same goes for Lindblom. Promote/demote at will. Good ol' Andy at his best. I hope everyone heard me on TV calling him a clown.

[Oskar Man]

its going to be hard to get rid of jvr

All he has to do is pot 20 or so and he'll get selected by Seattle. They're going to need scoring and contracts.

 

[Angry Hockey Dad]

I have tickets to the game on the 14th @Edmonton. You best believe I'm bringing a "Fire Hakstol" sign
