I was at Slippery Rock during that same time period. So I 100% understand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 (edited) I remember reading scouting reports on this kid comparing him to Johnny LeClair before he was even a Flyers so i sure hope he turns into a second coming of him. Great debut. The Wade. Ginger Sniper!!! Keep up the good work kid you don't have much competition right now.

Including the upcoming draft with results like tonight. honest question here. You'd be fine with these guys just packing it in then? One of the things you rightfully complain about is when you see a lack of effort. These guys are pros and are playing for their jobs, if they were to roll up the carpet and hang a sign in the window saying closed until next year, what's the message there? It seems as though they're damned if they do and damned if they don't . Time for some "sunny disposition". I like the look of Allison's game and attitude. I thought the shoot out was one of the highest skill level displays I've seen from both teams in a shoot out in a long time. Guentzel's move was straight up nasty. For him to execute on that sucker 5 hole move in the NHL takes some stones. G's move was wicked. and I've never seen anything like Couturier's . Hart made 2 good saves on 2 great players. I thought Laczynski, Patrick and Allison were pretty good for the small sample size. Nice to have a player make their debut and really notice them in a good way. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if the speed of the Pens PKers had something to do with it or was it more stupid over passing ? I couldn't get a feel for what they were trying to do, it reminded me of the the Brett Brown "clogged toilet" offense the Sixers ran 3 years ago. didn't see anyone really driving the crease there didn't seem to be any screens...it was frustrating.

I don't i want to see as many kids play on the Flyers as they can get into the lineup especially with the Phantoms games keeping getting canceled the kids need to play. Besides i know there is no way the can move closer down into the top 5 so just try and finish out the season on a good note and healthy and prepare for the next season. I think Laczynski and Allison will be apart of next year's lineup to start. These aren't just kids TL will be 24 by the start of the season and WA will be 24 by October so i think they have a great chance to stick if nothing else in the bottom 6 to begin with. Right now it shakes out something like this... 23 Oskar Lindblom - 14 Sean Couturier - 11 Travis Konecny28 Claude Giroux - 13 Kevin Hayes - 86 Joel Farabee21 Scott Laughton - 24 Tanner Laczynski - 17 Wade Allison82 Connor Bunnaman - 19 Nolan Patrick - 62 Nicolas Aube-Kubel9 Ivan Provorov - ???????6 Travis Sanheim - 5 Phil Myers55 Sam Morin 53 Shayne Gostisbehere 61 Justin Braun 79 Carter Hart ???????????? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't watch the game, probably won't for a while yet. My sunny disposition is reserved for things other than this Flyers team, like grandkids, puppies and golf. 9-0, 8-3, 6-1 twice to Buffalo wasn't very professional and ate up all my sunny towards the Flyers. There is one singular goal Mojo, a Stanley Cup in my life, and beating a mediocre Pens team in a shootout is a step in the wrong direction in achieving that goal. Drafting outside the top 5 will ensure more of the same of what we've seen most of the past 20 years. Thats not un-sunny, that reality. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get what you're saying the fact is they don't suck that bad....just kind of suck just enough to NOT make the playoffs. Yeah i know but right now they are the very definition of mediocre. I watched just so i could see the kids play. However i do miss Morin being in the lineup. But i will say Hagg has played very well since getting back in the lineup. In fact in my line up i have Braun scratched and Sam in...Not sure how you juggle the pairing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Allison had a strong game. He reminded me of a young Travis Konecny. He looked dangerous every time he was on the ice. Wish TK could harness that back.

No argument there i think it could do some good for Patrick to be moved somewhere else that he won't have the pressure of being the #2 overall pick on his shoulders.

Or you could flip that around and say maybe the pressure is less in Philly bc the Flyers are so bad. His invisibility doesn't stand out as much...lol... Patrick has almost no trade value right now. He's damaged goods and a puck to the head last night didn't help matters. I did read somewhere this morning he told AV after the game he "felt fine" - for whatever that's worth. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use this as evaluation for next year I understand that idea. I still think you don't want to introduce those guys to the NHL by having them get curb-stomped for 15 games. There is still nearly a 1/4 of the season left, not having veterans around isn't helpful. Look at the Oil. They have the best player of this generation and they can't get past the 2nd round... Definitely take a look a the youngsters, but you have to keep competing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw Carter Hart go behind the net to play the puck and give it right to Jeff “I banged every co-Ed in Philly back in my day” Carter. Carter almost scores on Carter. Carter Hart should never play the puck again. it was nice to see Carter miss shots wide, brought back nostalgic feelings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They havent been competing for the last six weeks. Why should anyone expect that will change? The competing is up to the players. If they arent doing thier individual best, the coach will know. Sit those players. Any team doing a rebuild faces the same issue. They get poinded on while they develop and learn This team is no different, except that the franchise has never really admitted to undergoing a rebuild, or needing to Edited April 16, 2021 by CoachX 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
