GDT: ECQF 4 | FLYERS (A) vs. Canadiens (H) | Tuesday, Aug. 18, 2020 | 3:00 pm ET | Flyers lead series 2-1

[Striiker]

AV with the Hakstolian like approach of ignoring the 800 pound gorilla in the room.

 

[FlyerNutter]

This guys a clown... there's so much wrong with this tweet...

Not sure if he's a shill or just braindead.

Don’t know who this is but he’s a fool.

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

Is this north dakota shirt?

 

[prototypical4thliner]

Well I might miss a good chunk of this. I have to get a COVID test for work.

No symptoms or anything, I just need it even though it'll be useless and outdated by the time I'm in the office.

Request that they don’t scrape brain cells when they do the swab.

 

[BiggE]

So close! Thompson roulette rolls on. He absolutely can't see 10 mins tonight

Sadly he can

 

[BiggE]

Why are they so damn stubborn?

G-Coots-Jake
Farabee-Hayes-TK
Pigeon-Laughton-NAK
Raffl-Grant-Pitlick

f***ing idiots

 

[Appleyard]

Thompson misses 2x ENs in a close game from JvR passes...

and JvR is seemingly the one that gets scratched.

 

[flyerslducks]

imagine what this team could've looked like:

g-couts-voracek
lindblom-patrick-tk
jvr-hayes-farabee
raffl/pitlick-laughton-nak

But you know even if we had patrick/lindblom that they would still use thompson/grant lmao. man I really really really wanted to see that 2nd line this year.

the passes need to be better

 

[mdm815]

JvR is scratched? Wth? I’m not gonna kid myself and say he was super effective, but his effort level in the last game was the highest I’ve seen it.

 

[Striiker]

Is this north dakota shirt?

Yeah, from when he was their coach for 11 seasons up until 2015.

The second one was from Laughton.


But yeah, Thompson should be benched! No doubt, awful player.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Boss scheduled a meeting for 3 PM.

 

[Striiker]

“Doesn’t fit”.

I guess he doesn’t want to admit that the coaches are idiots and scratching them for no reason, so he’ll pretend it’s a “fit” issue.

Dinosaur coaching. It’s an NHL staple

Meanwhile, Laughton turned the puck over every time he touched it and coughed up both a breakaway unscreened shot from the slot.

We’re playing one of the last teams that made it into a 24 team tournament & willingly conceding they’re more talented than us & we can’t beat them straight up. Like what is going to happen if/when you play New York, Tampa, &/or Boston & this doesn’t change?

We’re actually fortunate Montreal’s PP has only been slightly better than our’s.

 

[flyerslducks]

duuudeee what if we still had andrew freaking macdonald lol. Would AV bench niskanen for AMAC hahahahahahahaha. im sorry i'll stop, that is just brutal.

probably will be elevated to top pp..the answer to the pp's struggle is more struggle.

I mean, it's pretty clear to me we are pretenders right now after watching this series.

If we had Oskar and NP in place of Thompson & Grant, a functional PP, and a stable 3rd pairing, I think we'd be legit contenders. The window is open for next season.

I heard you like struggle so I got you some struggle for your struggle.

 

[flyerslducks]

also, we will take back dale weise because..you know..struggle

 

[Beef Invictus]

If we overcome these decisions to advance, we will not beat the Islanders while sitting good players and maxing out the ice time of horrible players. AV is running short on time to see the light and completely overhaul his long-time approach to the playoffs.


Doubt we beat TB either. But TB is built to disappoint.

Easy. We're either going to get carried by one line, one D pair, and a goalie at 5v5 or we're going to lose.

Literally everything else is broken by the staff. And honestly, it's only a matter of time before they break up that line and/or pair.

ya it will be tough to watch next sseries but lindblom should be back so that helps the bottom 6.
