Howie I wonder if when Coots is healthy will Cousins force Laughton to the Phantoms? Nice Jake scores while i was typing this! 5-2! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share Posted February 17, 2016 Wow that was quick...........and now we certainly see where Ghost can improve in his end he definitely needs to get stronger! Nice White makes it 6-3! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howie58 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Yikes...Now Palmieri outsmarts Neuvy. But Ryan White does it. Gee, when have we scored six goals this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen it yet. Scroll up. It is posted about 4 times in this thread. I agree with Rod on this one. BS call. Farnham is looking for Gudas and skated directly into him. Granted, Gudas didn't do anything to avoid the contact but no way was it a head shot nor should it have been a match penalty. Farnham should get fined for that!

mkscrewy Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Farnham miraculously returns from his Triple Lindy, but Gudas will probably get the suspension just based on the fact that he didn't get it the last two times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackhole Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Wow, a devil's game that was fun to watch.?. Good PK, boat anchors RJU and AMAC had positive impacts, & B schenn is lookin consistent (did I really just type all that?) In other news, Gudas puts himself in position to garner another rep call, and the refs we putrid... Long live the streak! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howie58 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 This was an "eruption" that was unexpected. I think Neuvy is the unsung hero...kept us in the game when we were being overrun. Ghost is pretty amazing...even the Devils announcers were impressed. I am not counting chickens....let's see what happens next game. We play well at the Rock.

Bertmega Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 The thing is, I wouldn't mind Gudas so much if he could actually play the position that he was assigned. However, he is not that good at the first pass out of the zone and usually (from my eye test) gets turned out in his own zone because he is trying to make a highlight reel hit. Worst off, the puck could be the size of a manhole cover and he'd wiff on it. In other words, the brain hands are not connected to the eye hands. Here's the other thing, the hits are not only idiotic, but they are dirty. It's one thing to hit hard and play with passion, and then it's a totally different animal when you try taking head shots and knee clips. I think we can all agree with almost certainty that this is not a playoff team, but to take a five minute major to the stingiest team in the NHL is just flat out bench worthy. In my opinion, his days are numbered if they sniff a playoff spot. You cannot coach out stupidity...... sadly. Other than that, they managed to pull one out and steal two points; which is dandy, but they took advantage of the opportunities that they had because the way I saw it, they were severely out played for the majority of the 60 minutes.

Gudas defenders will point to the Farnham-flop and use that as the justification. The real issue here is the constant stupidity that Gudas seems to think is normal during the course of play. This is another hit that really had no worth in the game. Gudas was pulled aside by the Head Coach and the GM for his bonehead decisions and then he puts himself in another stupid position. This team is battling for a playoff spot and you can ill-afford to put your team a man down on defense. as you say... you can't coach out stupidity. Look at where the puck was at the time of the hit - it was in the other freaking zone. Stupid play all around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertmega Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 @murraycraven Another fine example was last week against Buffalo with four minutes left in a 5-1 game, Gudas goes head hunting on Foligno for no apparent reason. I like grit and toughness, but hate the dirty stuff. There is no room for it in today's NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eleven24 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Honestly, I don't think it's a 5-min major penalty or suspension worthy. Wasn't a blindside hit as Farnham saw him coming. Gudas just didn't change his path and intentionally ran into him. If Farnham doesn't drop to the ice and stay down, play continues with no penalty called. Having said that, I hope Gudas gets a suspension & it forces the Flyers to call up a Morin, Hagg or Alt. Also hoping losing Gudas would push MacDonald off of Ghost's line.

None whatsoever... puck was nowhere near the play and just another dumb penalty... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gudas had as much right to that piece of ice as Farnham did. Just watch his(Gudas) skates and legs as they collide. There are many times that Gudas is responsible for stupid hits but this was not one of them. This was Blandisi level embellishment on Farnham's part.

I also agree with other saying he just isn't that good of a defenseman when he isn't blowing someone up and still it would be nice if he could at least do it more cleanly. He may be resigned but it should without doubt be for a 6th 7th spot at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radoran Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 18 minutes ago, OccamsRazor said: Given what everyone has noticed about the puck - that it's no where near the play at that point - what, exactly, is Farnham doing if not interfering with Schultz in this situation? As far as the call - there was no head contact, it was a shoulder-to-chest hit and, if anything, Farnham embellishes with his pirouette. Gudas does need to understand he has a target on his back from the refs. He's not going to get the "benefit of the doubt" - ever. And while I don't particularly care if he's on the Flyers or not, I expect that, as a RFA, he will be retained for next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great question and you know i wasn't even watching that....just looking at the hit in question....i wasn't watching the game at the time.....so let me guess no call at all on MC Flopper....right? Imagine that the Flyers getting hosed by the refs....it's like the non match penalty call on Mcglassjaw because he got hurt/flopped... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
