OccamsRazor Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Man sitting here last night watching the Canes play and watching their Captain lead by example and even scoring a goal off his face man i regret the Flyers didn't try and bring Justin Williams back dude is a great leader he could have replace Giroux as Captain. He is having an outstanding year and showing this young Canes teams how to play hard and finish games. 2 goals and an assist last night. 37 years old and 17 goals 24 assist and 41 points in 61 games. The prodigal son should have returned....but nope. Giroux one point last 7 games. Williams 9 points last 7 games. Which one is 37 again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 I think the Senators control the trade flood that is looming...when they pull the trigger is when it will go down i think. Duchene, Stone and Dzingel all were scratch for last night's game....when will it happen?? Dear gawd i am ready....Simmonds value is falling quick. They have a game tonight with Blue Jackets and are off till sunday vs. Flames so maybe we see something go down saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But don't cherry pick buddy! Giroux strapped this team on his freakin' back and WILLED them into a playoff spot last season with 102 points. Only McDavid had more. Williams? 56 points.

Yes...it would have been great if they took the C away from Giroux and signed Williams last year...and we watched Williams get half as many points as Giroux. Exactly half. This year he's put up an amazing 41 points. Giroux has stumbled along and only put up 61 points. The grass is always greener... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You never know what would have happened that year maybe Giorux passes Mcdavid...Giorux Couturier and Williams could have made a damn good top line...you discounting him having a positive effect like it would have only been negative.

No, I'm just pointing out that Giroux had twice as many points as Williams last year, and 20 more points than him this year....while you're telling us Williams should wear the C over him cause of 1 game you watched. Would Williams have more points? Probably. Twice as many? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No bro try again...i watch a lot of Canes games...see on their under my pic 2nd favorite team is the Canes...and sometimes it isn't all about point but i forget you know all that. And none of that changes the fact that Giroux has disappeared when they need him most but i know he has the most since 1912 or something like that. Williams has LEAD his team in their fight for the playoffs which they currently are IN. Not sure why Flyers fans are so sensitive when some us want to hold the players accountable it is ok to ask the highest paid player to show up when they need him on the ice...is he alone no...but he is part of the problem...like it or not. He had two bad turnovers last night. So if we can point out when Jake or Simmer doesn't play well and turns the puck over the Captain should be fair game too. But feel free to give him a pass because well you know he put up 102 points last year and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But just last season...you know, the season Williams signed as a UFA, Giroux was in the running for the Hart trophy. Williams had 41 points. I know points aren't the be-all and end-all but there's no comparison between the two last season. Imagine this board if they'd stripped the C and gave it to Williams? This season the Flyers have used going on EIGHT goalies. Is that the captains fault? Giroux and Williams have the same amount of goals this year. Giroux has almost double the assists. So I guess what I'm saying is I'm not going to judge Girouxs season on the last 7 games. Just like you wouldn't judge Hart on his last 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

News flash a few here have already mentioned it. So it's not new. And it could help the kid. But it is too late for that so we'll continue to watch this season slide down the drain...and hey but maybe in 3 or 4 years when Giorux is 35 they may win a playoff series. 4 minutes ago, flyercanuck said: This season the Flyers have used going on EIGHT goalies.

flyer4ever Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Always been a JW fan, always will be, he is even from my neighborhood. But there are no more ex Flyers who can come back and make it more than mediocre. There is a serious opportunity to manage the current assets, to make the Flyers significant once again, and get past the corporate desire of sneaking into the playoffs. I hope Fletcher has the stones to do it. He needs to gut the 30 somethings, not bring more in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobbyClarkeFan16 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 The Flyers need to break up the top line and move Giroux back to the wing. I'd personally have the lines set as follows: Lindblom - Couturier - Konecny Giroux - Patrick - Voracek JVR - Laughton - NAK Raffl - Varone - whoever fits the bill. I think Patrick would benefit with Giroux on the left side and it would allow him to focus more on using his size to get to the net while Giroux feeds him those sweet passes.

He's a playmaking wing. Played that in junior. Drafted that way. Established himself that way. Was forced into the role after The Trades. Had his best season last year at wing. Why they insist on sticking him at center mystifies me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobbyClarkeFan16 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Just sell, baby!!!! However, after seeing what Duchene, Dzingel and Zuccarello all went for, I think the Flyers are going to be lucky to walk away with a 2nd for Simmonds. I've heard talk that Tampa Bay is interested and that the names Boris Katchouk and Taylor Raddysh have come up, but I'd hope the Flyers could end up with Gabriel Fortier. I'd hope that if the Flyers lose after the stadium game, Fletcher finally declares they won't make the playoffs and then starts the blood letting and removes all the dead weight. So, Simmonds, Raffl, Varone, MacDonald, Hagg and possibly Elliott and I'm a happy camper. I have no idea what the Flyers will do though. Even though Hextall is gone, this team is still very closely guarded in terms of making moves. It's too eerie how quiet they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because he is statistically the second worst defenseman on this club and he is a mess when it comes to playing the shut down role. He's not smart enough. His IQ severely lacks.

No way i would pass on one of those two over 5-10 175 pound winger... ...who has just barely put up a point per game in the high scoring Q.
