Yup, and teams also had games cancelled because of it. The Rangers just finished a road trip that saw them without Gallant, Reaves, Gauthier, Goodrow, Laf, Panarin, Shesterkin for multiple games, plus Hunt is out with injury. That's a lot to deal with on a long road trip and the fact that they went 3-2 was pretty damn good. Yet we have some posters complaining that they can't dominate a team for 60 minutes. I just SMH.

It’s kind of a rule of mine to never complain too much when the team wins. How it gets done?…..well…..we still won and the other team can go f*** off to lick their wounds then. So it wasn’t a blowout. Would have been nice but whatever. When the chips were down the Flyers found a way to lose and we found a way to win and that’s the end of the story for last night.

Complaining so much after all the wins always reminds me of that line from Costanza in Seinfeld.

Costanza: “do you want to talk about hotels, or do you want to win some ball games?”
Jeter: “we won the world series”
Costanza: “yeah, pfft, in 6 games”



“We beat the Flyers last night but the square root of our xGF% for 4 minutes in the 3rd period at 5v5 was terrible”

Chytil has produced the last few games with the move into the top 6, what more do people want?

I already know how this story ends though. The team is gonna move him in the off-season and then a year or two from now he’ll break out and people will be like “we should have never gotten rid of him!” as those same people today complain he needs to go lmao

ya mean like our third rounders, Buch and Duclair?

I don’t get the Kakko complaints in the GDT. He was good tonight and he’s looked good playing on the first line with first line matchups for a while now.

Chytil should stick at right wing and a trade deadline move should be for a 3c upgrade. Then you can run Rooney-Goodrow-Reaves as the 4th line with Goodrow moving up the lineup as necessary.

Lafreniere-3C Upgrade- Gauthier/Hunt can be a solid 3rd line depending on the acquisition.

no acquisition
pare down to true core, deal Strome for futures address cap
win now foolishness for guys we can't extend due to cap is insane indulgence b'c it is a clear waste of assets.
Instead do what we did w/Schneider ... acquire by careful adding value to move up to get the guy we want.
But to do that, you need to sell Geo + Strome NOW

LaF is still learning /developing NHL level skating. Like they say, he has to keep moving his legs. That is not just mental. Howev, he is getting there, once he is there, he will be the finisher the LaF - Chytil - Gauthier line needs

Goodrow [until Krav here] - Zib - bread
Kreider - Barron YES BARRON - Kakko
then Rooney + for 4th line
that ^ is the ticket!

How many at ES? You want to keep winning and maybe make noise in the Playoffs? Yes, let's move him.

He’s 1st on the team with 9 at ES. So yes, I’d prefer not to move him to a line with 2 guys that haven’t proven they have the vision to make passes and who have proven they struggle with finishing. But hey let’s make the team worse, that will help us go deeper into the playoffs.

I think the board has a problem developing our posters. Win or lose, the takes don't change much after every game.

My 2 cents

All of our center are B- to B+ type centers. They can not win face offs consistently enough. There defense strength is lacking as well.
Zib is a b+ 1st line
Strome is a B 2nd line
FOL is a B- 3 line.
The only one that is going to get better is fil but you need awing that is goo on face offs or just move him to wing.
Strobe is what he is And if you a top five team that need a 3 line center he would excel at that role with fast goodrow type player..

He's playing with our only offensively gifted center who wants to give him the puck constantly. He should have finished a few and more than others on our "one of the worst offensive teams at scoring ES" in the league. The rest of his game is very average which is why he gets dogged on this board year after year. Also, some veteran presence on that 3rd line would help. Is he on your fantasy team? He is a first line PP guy, otherwise no.

1st in ES goals on our team. You want to rebalance the lines, that’s fine. Put him with Strome who has 6 more ES assists than Zbad and would most likely improve the lines from a defensive stand point. What we shouldn’t do is move our leading goal scorer to the 3rd line with Barron and Goat and make our ES scoring worse for the sake of giving them a veteran presence.
 
If we want to try something different,

Kreider Strome Kakko
Panarin Zibs Chytil/Laffy

The marriages need to be broken up.
