Better than Ghost. And Cheaper to boot!

If a certain someone decides to eat crow on this take, can yall let me know? I may actually take them off Igor for that.

I went through several tweets re: Yandle after the game and I just dont understand how this reasoning ("cheaper") is actually, in all seriousness, used.
Look at that play. He takes the pass in the worst lane, he interferes with his own pairing partner, he fumbles on the puck in his own zone.

This has nothing to do with being cheap. This is me getting on a plane, having my legs cut off there, the plane falling down from 11 km straight to the water and me drowning afterwards. But it is okay because the ticket only cost me $5. Thats not how this works. I know you know it. I am just pissed seeing this play 10 hours later again.

But you have to look at what else we got with the saved cap space! We also got Ras- ah, shit.

The inevitable defense brigade will also later show up with "He only played 13:28 TOI". Really? Is that a good enough defense? How would anyone want this trifecta of bullshit happen in say 5 minutes TOI, let alone 13? I am not even going to proceed to another SH GA opportunities again because curu already covered that in the PGT.

Calm Down, Czech Starat. 14mins is barely 20% of the game! It doesn't matter!

I really don't care if he's only still playing to break the ironman record, but he needs to be used as sparingly as possible. He should not be on the power play for any reason at this point. If he's still going to be on PP1, then it's obvious that Yeo is in on the tank.

York was on PP1 until late in the game when they inexplicably put KY back on it.

is he the only Flyer not to test positive yet?

Feel bad for you guys, but at the same time, I'm glad that we can vindicate each other. I can't remember a player who deserved unmitigated hatred from fanbases like Yandle does. At least we can back each other up when (Canadian) fans whine that we're being mean.

And look on the bright side...next year he's gone from your roster while Florida is charged with a $5.2m cap hit to keep him off our roster.

Keith Yandle everybody


Later in the game there was a similar sequence but instead of firing it off of his teammate, he dropped a puck back to Sanheim who was not expecting it (he was literally right behind him), who then proceeded to rip the puck around the boards to no one since everyone already flew the zone.

Yandle's like that younger player that plays in an alumni game and everybody goes, "hey he could probably still play", but then he actually does play. I imagine the results are pretty similar.

Never forget that Holmgren seriously approached Lindros after the 2012 Alumni Game about coming back to the real squad for PP duty.

Don’t remember off hand. Atkinson, JVR, and Braun have all played every game and Lindblom has only missed 1 which was the Calgary game here.

I think York was on the shift prior to that PP, but still, it should be Sanheim or even Risto at this point ahead of Yandle. They honestly should be trying Risto there on the off-chance he gets hot or something. He’s supposed to be this point producing defenseman, that’s what Myrtetus and Meltzer told us.

Sometime in the future, a player will be going for the iron man streak. Someone will say he's gonna break the record held by Keith Yandle, and people will go....... who?
Cuck Fletcher will actually try and get Elton John to write "Yandle in the Wind" in remembrance of his individual accomplishment at the expense of team success...

Are they actually going to bench Yandle immediately after he gets the record? I mean they can’t be that blatantly obvious can they? They have to at least play him a few more game after that before “wanting to get a look at younger players”
