...burning that year of ELC for no other reason than Gauthier wanting to get paid earlier wouldn't have been a smart move for Philly (cuz they knew they were going nowhere), so they didn't do it; no one thought Gauthier would blow a gasket and refuse to sign...it was a spoiled pr*ck move, imo...

It doesn't matter that the Flyers were going nowhere. Bottom 5 teams usually are crap. If it is normal to offer to let a top pick burn a year of ELC then they should have done it. But I thought the agent was negotiating a deal when Gauthier didn't like something the Flyers did and changed his mind.

I’ve said this before about the current ducks, but having your team’s uniforms making your players literally look like they’re dressed as pylons is just dumb.

 

[Johnny HFBOARDS]

Has there ever been a 1st overall player forced to play a roll as a 1st overall player that isn't close to a 1st overall player?




Than #93

 

[Tebowz]

Why did Oilers not get a goalie at the deadline ?

 

[Gjman2019]

There's the one the Flames need....Right on

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

As usual the Sharks choke. Mostly because they can 't create a scoring chance to save their lives.

 

[Ghost of Murph]

Flames tie it. Still hanging by a thread.

 

[RedRocking]

Probably not what you want if you’re the Knobster.

Another great play by Bouch

Wolf has made a number of stellar saves tonight from very good scoring opportunities.

Give up Flames You are done. Time to tank.

 

[Johnny HFBOARDS]

You saw it here 1st, The 1st snap upper flick shot on a breakaway!!!

Oil keeps on giving

Matybe in the 3rd. In the first 2 periods the Sharks effed up every scoring chance.

 

[Ghost of Murph]

Frost! Flames lead. Unreal.

 

[RedRocking]

Nice Huberscreen

Haha McTavish scores a lot with that quick snap. The release is so fast catches goalies off guard

 

[koyvoo]

Romanov had no chance. Completely screened.

 

[Gjman2019]

Oilers still haven't clinched the playoffs.....They might have to bring the cavalry back before the playoffs start just to get in......(especially if Calgary wins tonight)

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Frost! Flames lead. Unreal.

Why? Sharks are shit.

 

[Johnny HFBOARDS]

Haha McTavish scores a lot with that quick snap. The release is so fast catches goalies off guard

But he didn't, it was like a snap shot but in mid snap he flipped it up over the goalie PeeWee hockey style LOL

...it isn't "normal"; most teams actually don't want to do it unless absolutely necessary or they feel the player has shown that he is ready...the Flyers felt that he wasn't ready for The Show and it could hurt his development if he was brought up too soon, not to mention they wanted to keep that extra year of control, both sound reasons not to do it...Gauthier (and his Dad) threw a fit and refused to sign...it was a spoiled brat move, nothing more...

 

[koyvoo]

Might be the difference between watching a playoff team and watching one who’s season was determined months ago, but the atmosphere in Los Angeles is electric, while it sounds like a morgue in San Jose.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Sharks should have been up by at least 3 goals but they usually make the wrong play.

That smol ginger is the only reason they are even sniffing the playoffs. That being said that painful rebuild already has a lot of nice prospects on the blueline and the wing. Need to pick only centers in the draft this year.

I know Wolf is elite and will likely be in the top-5 goalie discussion on a year-to-year basis going forward in his career, but goalies tend to be finicky.

Parekh looks like a stud, but aside from that I just see prospects that everyone has (tbf I'm not the most informed on Calgary's prospect pool so I could be underrating a piece or 2 but I don't see it)
