I think he's being stupid Lol, I see that you are really not pleased with the decision to start Elliott today. I can go either way, but his records vs the Caps is really good, so that's something. More importantly, puck drop is in 8 hours, what's everybody drinking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey i get letting him play but let's lie to yourself on why we are doing so. If he plays next week he will be completely cold...just because he played last thursday doesn't prevent that from happening a week later. And what about NOT letting Hart go cold? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojo1917 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 I think our guys are better than their guys. Our guys and Elliot in particular have owned the Caps this season. I blame steady Eddie for that. I also think its not a bad idea to get some other guys work during this round robin, I am hoping for a long playoff run, there will be injuries. It would bode well for our team to have some of the black aces playing some meaningful hockey before dumping them into Eastern semi-final action ice cold. I will be drinking Industrial arts brewing Wrench IPA - never had it, I'm told it's easy drinking, which you know is good, 7.1 % so like Tom Wilson it packs a punch. https://industrial-arts-shipping.square.site/product/wrench/108?cp=true&sa=true&sbp=false&q=false 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding Elliott, I would love to see Av's point of view, but I doubt I can get my head that far up my ass as for drinking, I am stuck on duty, so I will restricted to pre-work out, followed by creatine, then I'll finish off with an Americano recipe for caffeine o/d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they win, tehy face TBL tied with 2 wins. That assures them a 2nd seed. If they lose, the Caps have life and momentum. Not a good scenario. If Flyers lose today, then againto TBL, they lose momentum and the mental edge. They could end up 1-2, and in 4th I'll stick to it, the players that just beat Boston should be on the ice, building on what they did. This is not the time for everyone to participate, especially Connor-freaking-bunnaman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see Scotty finding his groove... Interesting i thought i remember him coming around when he was back at center...so either way it's good to see him productive at wing or center.

Well Michael Raffl is already not in the line up, so there's that. I don't think playing a young player in place of a struggling older player (JvR) is "bad". It would also be good for 13 and 11 to "get going" they will be on the ice last I checked We see this differently, the guys playing will not be taking their sticks for a skate, so its not like the team is saying "welp this one's as good as lost". Bunnaman was in the line-up for a Capitals drubbing this year and I think even had a goal. I don't think playing the backup goalie who was a 1b guy all year is a huge step down from Hart, especially since he beat the Caps twice, and played well doing so. Elliot needs to seem some game action. What better time than now. I want our team to win 16 games starting August 11. I think you do too, what gives the team the best opportunity to do that?

Raffl: Hurt. We aggre on him not being in line up 11&13: playing. Not relevant to discussion JVR: JVR is awful. That said, Bunnaman? C'mon. Seriously? Thats AV's answer? and it still is up in the air (from what I read) "Elliot needs to seem some game action. What better time than now"? : here's an answer, how about next season?

It's not about it being a loss....it's about keeping my starter sharp. Nothing more. It wouldn't happen come a playoff game so why do it now they have been off and rested since March so this doesn't have the same wear and tear of a 82 game season and straight into the playoffs effect....rust isn't my concern it is about winning and staying sharp....so i want the nest players out there that are at my disposal.

What I am saying is Hart is the better option, and the team should discard the regular season game plan and shift to playoff mode. Other than Boston, every team with a true number one will be playing that guy. Hart is the Flyers true number one 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great Minds think alike this is why you are one of my favorite forumites Well it happens now and then....but it is an honest concern... ...i want to ice the best roster to keep the winning up and the team sharp as well as work on the communication out there. Sure they beat the Bruins and Pens but there is still a lot to work on from what i have seen, and a lot of it just comes from needing more time on the ice together as a team. So i want my starter out there not his backup. He'll just have to get some extra practice and skating like they normally do come playoff time and just go from there it is what it is. Hopefully it's a win today and the point is moot for now till they play the Bolts that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THIS^^^^^^^^^^^ I is time to round into playoff form these other teams are going to be rolling (the ones who survive and get in) by the time the 16 team real playoffs start and their starters will be playing at least every other day. While the Flyers starter has been over rested and playing every 6 days....sounds like it is setting up for a disappointment. So if by playing one more game is going to wear Hart out then were in trouble anyway...just my 2 cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoachX Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 (edited) AV is THE coach and he obviously knows more about hockey than I do. Hell , I barely know what side of the puck to shoot . I hope he makes the right calls, and like you said, this point becomes moot. I would lying if I said I feel confident about it though thats my 2 cents. together we aren't worth a nickel Edited August 6, 2020 by CoachX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
