Miscellaneous NHL Discussion XC: Stoppage Time Not Required

[Magua]

Yeah, because the trade negotiations weren’t taking place prior and happened overnight.

We were told Giroux's trade value was underwhelming because everyone and their mother knew Giroux only wanted to go to Florida. So, if Chuck's hands were tied trading with only 1 team (since he wasn't extending negotiations to work another team), he couldn't negotiate their 2023 1st ahead of time, before the Chiarot trade 3 days earlier? Is it possible -- just hear me out -- that Chuck Fletcher sucks all the ass at his job?

Or that Vito prioritized a physical D-man over a scoring forward b/c he had the highest scoring team in the league?

One could 100% out-negotiate Chuck Fletcher using the old Bugs Bunny "yes, no, yes, no, no, yes" trick.

Bad for the sport. Kid better keep his head up next time they play, or else!

A real hockey player would of gone straight down and barreled over the goalie and hope the puck crossed the line. Flyers shake their head at skill

Yep. Punk tried to avoid all contact between the puck and the goalie. Weaksauce

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

He was treated like a fringe player this off-season/start of the season by the league.

Just stat padding. Not impressed.

Florida's first rounder going to Montreal is currently sitting at 14th overall. Absolutely criminal Fletcher did not get that pick in a Giroux trade.

But, but that pick was going to be nothing more than a high 20s pick...

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

I think it's been discussed here, but Chatfield picked up an assist tonight, so as of now, there are three skaters who have played at least 20 games without registering a point.

Two play for the Flyers. The third is Bortuzzo on the Blues.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Ovechkin out for the full two minutes of a poweplay with two minutes to go in a game they're up 5-2.

Heh. Didn't even realize that Gustafsson had a hatty.

 

[Magua]

13 points in his last 12 games.

Pad those stats!!!!!

 

[Beef Invictus]

Gostisbehere has 22 points in 28 games, and is -6 playing on the league’s 28th best team. Fletcher paid a 2nd to get rid of him.

DeAngelo has 14 points in 26 games, and is -13 on the league’s 27th best team. Fletcher paid a 2nd, 3rd and a 4th to acquire him.

Interesting.

Well, maybe TDA has a much smaller cap hit!

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Flyer media members said he wasn’t a NHL player, at the same time praising the play of inferior defenseman on this team who have done NOTHING this season except for sucking ass.

stat paddin asshole....

 

[Flyerfan4life]

12 points outa wildcard..

nice job Fletch...

'memer when he said "from here out i expect to compete".... hahaaa..

what a epic fall on ur face moment

 

[Striiker]

With that loss we’ve been passed by the superior Arizona Coyotes and now sit with the 5th worst points percentage in the league.

And this is while Fletcher has been desperately trying to compete and continues to make “win now” moves.

You guys laughed at the Ghost trade but he's helping them win while we pick up more lotto balls. 3D chess.

I assure you, I did not laugh at the Ghost trade.

He’s now -18. Carolina knew what they were doing.

Yea, but the on-ice play is inconsequential for DeAngelo because he's always been known as a great locker room guy so that's where his worth is.

Crying is wet laughter

Must have been the other guy that knew what was going on because Tulsky is just a nerd.
