Meanwhile we're gonna be taking a nose dive without Harkins...

Hard to nose dive when you're laying prone on the ground

They could still soil themselves and flail around in it.
C'mon... lets have a little bit of pluck... they haven't hit the utter nadir, yet.
When it rains.... Next will be Big Jeff or Baddy Daddy Graves
Not sure how one team can lose the players we have to injury and expect to stay in the race. Nieto, Accari now Harkins wtf is going on?

It is absolutely hilarious that Ryan Poehling has out produced our entire bottom six and we let him walk for nothing to pay more money to Acciari and Eller.

From DK a few days ago:
Former Penguin Ryan Poehling seems to have settled into the Flyers' bottom six nicely and earned himself a two-year extension that pays him $1.9 million a year. Maybe he would have been a fit in the current bottom six, but there was some concern over his health. His "nagging upper-body injury" from last season wasn't so much an injury at all, but a chronic respiratory issue that didn't get properly diagnosed until late in the season. He did get a concussion in the midst of dealing with all that, one that was exacerbated by his brain not getting all the oxygen it should have. He seems to have gotten the issue under control.

So not only is our organization’s management and coaching inept and incompetent our medical staff is too?

I've honestly wondered about the medical staff. Injuries are often flukes, but this franchise has routinely been among the leaders in man games lost. Is that the luck of the draw or is there something potentially at fault?

Coyotes choke it away to Philly. It's soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo over

Let's Go Pens
Poehling did his job last year, just another player that MS didn't know how to use
Yep, Flyers, Devils and Rags all win tonight… two weeks prior to the ASG everyone in the Metro was losing and the Pens couldn’t take advantage, and now everyone is winning except the Pens lol…the Pens should be the subject of an Alanis Morrissette song…

It wouldnt matter. If he was here, he would be producing as bad as Acciari. Players come to this bottom 6 to drop off. They they leave and get to actually play hockey.
If we would of got J.T Miller at the deadline, Sullivan would have turned him into a 3rd line shutdown center playing with Harkins and Matt Nieto

Who does he know how to use? We are in peak Mike Johnston era. Except it's gone on for 3 years.

JT Miller would do wonders for this PP. He plays angry, decisive. On pace for 44 PPPs.
I don't buy that MS would use him as a 3rd line Center. Those roles are reserved for defensive minded players on this team.
He'd probably just be a Malkin winger.

Just spent some time reading July 1st posts from the usual suspects about how Ryan Graves was a great signing, better than Dumoulin and how I had no clue what I was talking about when I said...
Graves is slow and defensively suspect.
He's going to be a Dumo level issue by December.

It was a joke kind of. But I do honestly believe Sullivan would of 100 percent screwed it up

I don't think Graves is a slow/bad skater, he's just a lot more dumb than I thought he was. And going back to his giveaway in the playoffs that ended Colorado's playoff hopes a few years ago, I always thought he was kinda dumb.
Still better than what Dumo was the final couple seasons here. Though that bar's not hard to clear. Would still not hesitate to offload the guy. Doesn't really do anything of value.
