NHL Talk Miscellaneous NHL Discussion CIX: Processing a Tremendous Amount of Insane Information

[Audible Velvet]

At least this season, they dug a proper hole right away. No pretending for the first month. It’s a sort of progress.

So is over performing last followed up by a massive step back this year good for the culture?

 

[deadhead]

They need to get on track and play faster, like last season.
The ideal outcome is to control play and lose b/c your goalies suck.
Easier to replace your goalie than your whole team (the Devils hope so).

 

[Magua]

It's so easy to replace goalies that the Devils traded a 24 year old NHL defenseman and a 1st rounder for a 34 year old goalie who has been bleh 2 of the last 4 seasons. Hopefully, the Flyers follow suit.

I don't think Ersson is bad, but the best thing to happen to this team is to get below average goaltending. Good teams get sunk by that, let alone already mediocre teams. The Flyers have so many warts as a team, and now there's no hiding them. Goodie.

@VladDrag It’s early, but this is interesting.

Fully expect this to change in the second half when it is time to Become Serious About Playoffs or whatever goofy thing GMs and Coaches believe.

Ryan Parent was named head coach of the Devils' AHL team after Kevin Dineen was fired. Parent had been serving as an assistant coach.

Blast from the past for Flyers fans on two accounts there.

He can’t be a worst HC than third pair defender.

I tried to decide if I could agree with this and nah, don't think I can

Uh, did you forget the damage he caused on the cup team?

He could sleep on the bench as a HC and better things would happen when compared to his time as a player.

Meltzer is moving on from HBuzz, so zero point going there anymore.

Can't stand him anyways so I never went lol all he does is get angry when someone doesn't agree with him

 

[Kelmitchell2]

He is the only beat on the payroll to say anything even slightly critical of the team at this point, especially against Torts.

Yeah ant has been kissing his ass trying desperately trying to get back on his good side, also he believes Danny does nothing wrong

They gave the guy what, three NHL starts? In which he performed well (think one was even a shutout?), but had to trade him away for Cam, Carter’s apparent big brother figure. “We still have Lyon too, we’re good.”

He posted a shout-out one year and the team was like "ew no more"

Stolarz and Talbot were both pending UFAs.
Stolarz spent the next season in the AHL, bouncing back from a bad knee injury.
Talbot moved on and had a couple bounce back seasons.

Absolutely knew exactly what he was doing. Runs him and gets ready to drop the gloves with whoever comes at him

Oilers were in a cap crunch and they Flyers didn't even get a pick back. Terrible.

That is too blatant to not have context, no?

Fabbro on waivers - worth claiming?

I fully expect he'll be claimed before we get the chance to, but I'd like to pick him up, because that's another competent enough RD to help justify trading Risto.
