f*** I'd hate to be Fletcher with so many overrated players. Just start dumping I guess.
Both should sit upstairs but the coach makes them lazy and throw blind passes and noy work for it. Lots is gonna change.
I forgot to mention that after the 1st goal the pair were on the ice for, and immediately preceding the second goal, the pair had a hiccup of sorts in the defensive zone. The broadcasters immediately jumped to the same tired tropes that are spewed on this board about the two being substandard in the defensive zone. The pair quickly, efficiently regained the puck, without any crushing body checks, and slow played a break out, showing extreme confidence in skating and puck control ability, and the use of crisp short passes. As the broadcasters were finishing their thoughts the Flyers had moved the puck out of their own zone, up the ice, into the Columbus zone, where Sanheim scored his second goal in short order. And all the words used about this being an unlikely, desperate pair fell on deaf ears as the crowd erupted at the site of fun hockey, the Flyers being their most dangerous on the rush, with competent offensive defensemen being activated, creating a numbers problem for a returning/backchecking Lumbus team.Late to the party, not playing catch-up. I'm sure this has been belabored, but I want to
So, in one game, with a brand new coach behind the bench, brought in to replace Gordon, and shake up what's left with Lappy, Knob, and the other guy, this Wilson fellow did something that was recently stated on this board as being a horrible option, put Sanheim and Ghost on a pair together.
There are/were(?) a lot of folks who kept harping that Hagg was objectively the more impactful defenseman based on points when compared to Sanheim because of the former's point total (3-7-10) compared to the latter's total (2-6-8), hopefully that will stop soon as Sanheim potted two today and was the missing finisher to secure the patented Loser Point™, a special of the current coaching staff.
So last night was the disappoint, but there were some positives, long live the Travii. This team is still being coached wrong, but hopefully Wilson will tell his boss that everything is **** and more heads should roll.
What are you basing this critique on? I'm only aware of the pair being on the ice as of last night. And they scored two goals without surrendering any. Nor did they get pinned in their own end leading to a Flyers penalty being taken, or other box score detriment.
