Title: 2018 Flyers: They'll Still Suck

James Van Reimsdyk apparently coming back to the Flyers:  5 years / $35 million (https://www.nbcsports.com/philadelphia/flyers/philadelphia-flyers-report-expected-sign-james-van-riemsdyk-toronto-maple-leafs-free-agency)

Yes.  A mid-level deal for a perennial 30 goal scorer is the worst ever.  Nighty night sugarbritches.

hes scored 30 goals twice in nine years and had 11 less pts than shane gostisbehere last season and is horrible defensively but now gets 7 mil a year?

If this were say a 3 year $15 million deal I wouldn't have a problem with it...but 5 years at $7 million per is ludicrous. No idea how Hextall struck out so bad with Tavares

Maybe the fact the Tavares was going back to his home town to the team he grew up idolizing had something to do with it.

Also - 3/15 was not getting it done.   And $2M/yr is really a dealbreaker for you?   K.

$2 million is a lot of money in hockey terms and you conveniently left out 3 years in your argument. I really don't see how JVR gets the Flyers closer to a cup unless they're moving Simmonds for a stud Dman.

this is sad and pathetic but it's typical flyer fan stepford thinking...basically trumpian to like something so beyond hideous just because it's on your team...hip hop and Lil g got run out of town and so should this atrocity

the lead is being buried here because the mascot is so bad but what's most embarrassing is that s classic franchise like the flyers felt the need to get a mascot at all

also flyer fans are not MY fans

wait its contrarian to be against a hideous disgusting mascot that is being defended by about 20 thousand members of possibly the most stepford fanbase in sports and no one else

if you asked me two months ago should the flyers get a dope mascot i would have said go to hell...its rock bottom for what is normally a super proud franchise...

but it was kind of predictable that shtein like this would happen once ed snider passed

1. i posted before the mascot was even unveiled that it was a terrible idea thus there was no popular opinion to go against
2. outside of a few flyer stepfords he is universally mocked and/or hated

The first 2-3 minutes the Flyers were laying it on, pass went back to Provarav at the point who made a lazy pass which was picked off causing a 2 on 1 break that lead to a goal. 11 seconds later was another. Elliott actually kept the Sharks from reaching double digit goals. Hextall needs to be on the hot seat too.

if you are going to allow a rebuild in hockey then four years is like four days in hockey because players take forever

hextall has done all the rights in a rebuild...at least until we see all of his players...problem is he has been too hands off in letting hakstall not play them or play them for a game then bench them...and who knows if and/or how much his system and coaching has held them back

you cant grade hextall until all the young guys develop or dont develop

if hextall was hired to turn the team around quickly then he should be gone but that clearly wasnt the case

QuoteFlyers general manager Ron Hextall is a patient dude and Hakstol is his guy. With Quenneville fired, Hakstol now is the fourth-longest tenured head coach in the NHL. You read that right.

I would think so.  I guess it gives whoever is the new GM to name his own guy off the bat.

I guess I thought I'd see Hextall given the chance to name a new coach before he was shown the door.

They figured they had Carter Hart a maximum of a year away, so they just plugged and prayed there.  No excuse for the PK, though. 
Title: Re: 2018 Flyers: They'll Still Suck
Post by: ice grillin you on November 27, 2018, 04:35:36 PM
cater hart was 19 this summer and goalies take notoriously long to become fully developed nhl players if they ever do

hart is not an excuse for goal tending in at least the next two offseasons but definitely not this past off season

Title: Re: 2018 Flyers: They'll Still Suck
Post by: Rome on November 27, 2018, 06:42:28 PM
They weren't going to spend money on a goalie because of Hart.  Hexy was looking at 2022 at the earliest before they were truly competitive.

i went to my first flyer regular season game in a few years last night. some observations

1) i dont know anything about hockey or what constitutes good defense, but i can safely say the flyers positively blow on defense
2) their body language was horrendous up until the 3rd period...honestly thought they quit which is something mild mannered canadians arent supposed to do
3) was hoping for ot because they were shooting on my end, so of course it ends in 8 seconds on a horrendous turnover
4) place was like 90% full which was impressive, crowd was mostly and understandably dead
5) the columbus blue jackets shouldnt exist
6) i slapped grittys hand and it squeaked

mind you ive only seen him play twice and highlites but im just going by the things hes done pts wise at the same age against the same competition as other guys and hes right there pt wise with the greats...and if you factor in age hes done things no one in the history of united hockey has done....including patrick kane

No difference in the ultimate outcome, but that was a horrendous call by the ref.  As bad (if in a much less important situation) as the blown pass interference call against the Saints in the playoff.  A professional ref shouldn't make such an obvious error.

In the end it's the Flyers, and they'll get killed by all decent teams.

Apparently the NHL is looking at this play for a possible suspension for Voracek.

Hart is on his game tonight.  The rest of the team needs to nut it up.

I know it won't be enough in the end, but that was a hell of a comeback.

That was a great game, definitely had a playoff feel. The Pens absolutely dominated the 2nd but Hart was incredible. They're definitely playoff worthy and JVR is on a tear but too little too late.

6 pts back with 10 to play feels like beyond impossible, right

Today's game:

1.  Haag gets a four-minute high stick penalty when one Islander his his teammate.  Haag's stick never left the ice.
2.  Corturier is cross-checked head-first into the boards and has to leave the game for concussion protocall.  Play was right in front of the ref.  No penalty.  Wouldn't be surprised if the Islander gets a game or two for that.
3.  Hartman is given an interference penalty while fighting for the puck with the Islander's Mayfield (at best a 50/50 play with the Islander).  This is followed up by Voracek being given an unsportsmanlike, giving the Islander a two-minute 5-on-3.

The Flyers can suck plenty well enough on their own.  They don't need help from the Refs.

(On the other side, the first Flyers goal somehow went off the wall on a weird angle, off the goalie's shoulder/back, and into the goal.)

Seven minutes into the game, and Brian Elliot's given up four goals... in five shots.
