Miscellaneous NHL Discussion LXXXIX: More impactful than an REM pop song

[kudymen]

I simply dont think that good special teams performance and smart passes, let alone good goals, would have helped the Flyers who got shutout in their last game. Hehe

Colorado rocking a PP percentage of 50% seven games in.

All without a goal from Makar...guy sounds like a bum

I believe that it was AV that wanted Ghost gone. He had challenged the coach and AV couldn't tolerate that. The issue here was that Fletcher didn't stand up to Vigneault and refuse to move Ghost. The League is a small fraternity. There are few secrets between teams. A GM can not allow himself to be pushed around by the HC. Right there was the red light that Fletcher was the wrong guy for the job. It's been downhill for the organization ever since. Every organization knows that Fletcher is a chump. He has to go.

Colorado is off to a weird start, 11 ES goals 10 PP goals, 3 SH goals.

Of course, when you're playing Rodriques and Compher on your 2nd line . . . with Landeskog out for 3 months, they're really thin up front.

The power of a GM depends on the FO, if the FO sides with the GM, the HC is soon history, if the FO supports the HC, the GM is usually history.

It'll be interesting to find out what happened behind the scenes going into the summer of 2021, did AV sell the FO on "I need my players" and Fletcher was given marching orders to clear out Ghost and Voracek and bring in the "right players."

If this was Fletcher's idea, I doubt he'd still have a job, if it was forced on him, then he may have survived b/c some advisors were quietly pushed to the curb (Barber seemed to have ascended, the others?).

To be more accurate, it has been downhill since that loser signed Hayes. And no, I'm not joking.

More accurate if you drop "Hayes."

Love that Phil broke Yandsey’s fake streak.

Was it worth it Yandsey? being a career loser?

Thoughts on Bellows?

 

[deadhead]

Pass. I'd rather save the roster spot for Foerster this spring.

"The big issue with Bellows has always been his play away from the puck and in the defensive zone."

Yeah, that'll fly with Torts.

 

[Stizzle]

 

[deadhead]

Of course, we ended up with Rubtsov and Laberge.
Win some, lose most.

Should of drafted the sniper.

Fletcher is the entire FO.

Typical clueless caveman with an obsession for "sNiPeRz".

He's done exactly this multiple years too.

Fletcher thinking like Carchidi explains a lot.

I've said it a hundred times now, Fletcher is the GM embodiment of the average casual dumbass Flyers fan that you see on twitter.

Loves goons and toughness
Hates small skilled players
Obsessed with snipers

Freezing cold takes

 

[FLYguy3911]

This is probably my favorite Carchidi draft tweet. Posted this immediately after the first round after they passed on Cole Caufield of no relation. Judd went in the 5th round and currently has no points this season.
