Post-Game Talk: flyers @ RANGERS

[Edge]

I don’t think there’s a place on this team going forward. I think Lindgren stepped up and took the spot that would be there for Hajek. Hajek may well turn into a decent third pair/2nd PK guy, I just don’t see a spot hit him here doing that. I think Lindgren is a better version of that guy.

It’s not to say he won’t pan out, I just think he’s going to get squeezed out in the numbers game.

I'd be okay with that, if he at least gets to the point where he can included as part of a package for something we need/want.

The vast minority. Zibanejad is by far the worst performance player in any sports, that I can remember, after having covid.

So what?

Do you think he can magically heal his lungs if they were damaged by Covid? It doesn´t really matter what happened to other people because of Covid. What matters is what happened to Mikas body because of Covid. Is that hard to understand?

People are constantly whining about the games against Philly and Devs should have been won easily because of their 10+ days of break. But they cannot realise Mika might have lingering issues because of Covid. Really strange.

I totally agree he is playing bad and Quinn is totally misusing him at the moment. No more pk or ot time until he is playing up to par please.

What I really enjoyed was the fact that Georgijev got the win.

Do you can say for sure his problems are covid related? Because his lungs seems fine to me, he is skating the way he always did here, his hand eye3 coordination and his IQ are what seems to me that have downgraded to Howden's level.
I repeat, his is the worst player in any sports , that I can remember, after having covid.
We should stop using this excuse for his space jam loss of ability.

I really need to see Kakko getting some points. He’s been our best or second best forward every game for the last 10 games or so. He really deserves to get a few bounces and start getting some points.

Hopefully that shootout goal opens the floodgates.

He needed one. Badly.

 

[bl02]

Johnson has to be the one coming out. Or else everything we were told about Johnson "just being there for the locker room", "he's not going to play", and all that was just bullshit. A lie. Yet those of us who lamented his signing day after day were told we were worrying about nothing. When you sign the worst player in the league, it's a problem.

He should be coming out will he? That’s another story

He was about to get that amazing assist in OT, that was an easy goal for Buch but the Flyer player took the perfect penalty on him.

 

[AlaBlueShirt]

Honestly even tho Artemi didn’t have any points he was still solid. He prolly don’t have a loud presence in the locker room but the way he plays every night is still satisfying and beyond my expectations I had when signing him. Kakko is a player who drives the line and thus far he hasn’t really clicked very well with the man I was talking about but I’d still give the line some time. You must feel some kind of pressure playing with a player of his caliber. Im glad Quinn put Kakko first and even more happier that Kakko scored. Can’t even imagine the feeling of putting that puck behind Hart after being pretty much the best player on ice for the last 4-5 games.

There are plenty examples of young healthy people without any underlying conditions dying because of Covid

Source?

 

[Machinehead]

Maybe it's not covid. Zibanejad has also had, how many concussions now?

I seriously he's having some kind of vision or depth perception problem.

 

[mrmovies779]

I thought Hajek had a good game.No bad turnovers,good smart decisions with the puck and good defense.His confidence seems to be growing the more he plays.

 

[Tob]

When your backup goalie wins and two guys who aren't gonna be on the team next year scores in a game you should have lost to a team that has been struck by the plague

I was off the opinion that all the JJ bellyaching upon his signing was unwarranted. But I’m changing my dang tune, and fast. I never felt as frustrated with Staal, for example.

I agree MZ may well have a serious lingering COVID-related issue. And I am certainly willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. But were he in some sort of peril now I doubt he’d be playing, let alone getting so much ice time.

 

[egelband]

Btw, I loved Georgiev’s game today. He was rock solid.

 

[fredrikstad]

Since I didn't see this match, I voted by cool names. Rooney is a Manchester United soccer legend.

 

[fredrikstad]

Also who ever made the poll

Rongos, is that suddenly ok again? Thought it was an insult. Maybe thay played so bad, that they became rongos?

 

[Row I Goon]

Kakko here.























Mika.

 

[The S5]

I fully agree on Mika. I heard that his gf went on a podcast saying they were both heavily affected by covid. She is a former pro athlete and still have difficulties breathing while going for a run.

We can only hope that covid haven't done any permanent damage to Mikas lungs and body. Hopefully he can recover fast.

Hard to believe that some people refuse to put 2 and 2 together and draw a logical conclusion. Seems like a few poster are either dense or write their posts in total affect.

I wouldn't assume to know what the effects of Covid had on Mika, but the idea that he has trouble breathing is a bit hard to swallow. The guy takes a regular shift plus PP. If the guy can't breathe, he needs to sit. Right now, he isn't helping this team. If he is still affected by Covid, he needs to take care of his health and Quinn needs to make a decision to help this team win games.

 

[Vitto79]

The reality is if you get to a point where Miller is logging his 25 a night, and someone like Lindgren or Robertson is logging 20, you really only need 15 minutes of steady, keep it simple, be a defender type play from that last guy.

if Hajek has a good year he’s going to get protected in expansion because well there are no other options w Tony D gone

a trade maybe but they shouldn’t block LD for Reuananen this year , Robertson potentially next year and Jones the year after that

There are plenty of examples of young, healthy people dying of the flu and a variety of other ailments.

I am completely against "RONGOS" being a thread title. It's annoying and denigrating. I feel like I'm in the Islanders section of the board when I see it.
