NHL Talk Miscellaneous NHL Discussion CIII: 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs for Thee

[blackjackmulligan]

The Leafs are getting thrashed up here from the media, as they should be.

Yet after a decade of worse organizational performance everything is peachy in Flyer land.

Ball licker coverage in Philly.

they clearly need a new coach and voice. as well as to breakup that core somehow.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Really looking forward to what the caps look like against the rangers. Cant believe Torts gifted it to them. Should have been the wings or pens.

Flyers needed the regulation win. They should of pulled Ersson sooner when they had a offensive zone face off. I wonder if that Redwingzzz dude is still crying on that thread on the main boards

This has been said about several cores that were kept together and eventually won Cups, though

 

[Curufinwe]

NYR - Detroit would have been more fun

 

[BiggE]

That FL anthem singer was awful.

 

[Beef Invictus]

So many hits down there are worse because the player tries to avoid it completely instead of bracing and rolling into it. Guys just fall and risk having their heads put into the dasher

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

screw Detroit

 

[kudymen]

Hmmm. Thing cant get posted properly
But Vejmelka paid a nice little post for the Coyotes on Facebook and I have to say he had some tremendously stylish equipment over the years

If the Leafs stick it out another year, they'll have Tavares' $11 million to improve their defense, overall depth, and possibly goaltending. Although they really need a true 1D, preferable at RD, Walker would be a good UFA option for second pairing if he doesn't demand more than $6 million and 4 years. They have more than $18 million with 16 players signed.

Samsonov / Woll could work with a more structured D but Samsonov is a UFA. Then again, so is Marner

Exchange Domi for Frost (on their lineup; not Domi to the Flyers!), sign DeBrusk, and bring in a new coach.

As someone who remembers Darcy Tucker, I hope they extend Tavares and continue to go nowhere for many years to come.

I know and I hear you. Living just outside Montreal, I am pretty sensitive to the pervasive attitudes towards "Canada's team". I surprised myself by how much I started getting into the strategic exercise of being the Leafs GM for the next couple of seasons, considering they already have the 1C with elite linemates, a decent 1D, and a good bit of cap to make moves.

this core has shown nothing to convince anyone that will happen.

Also said about several cores that would go on to win

Rempe with a playoff goal he's never leaving the lineup now.

 

[kudymen]

Whoa that was a fugly play by Lafreniére there...

The Flyers’ ended before they pulled the goalie. There was no point to pull the goalie. Just gifted the win to the caps. I think DET would have made it and they were flying high.

 

[Curufinwe]

I don’t really mind cause it got the Flyers the 12th pick

And 6th attacker Hathaway falling on his ass was too perfect

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

They got in so credit to Washington but I think any one of Detroit, Philadelphia, or Pittsburgh would have given a more entertaining series here.

How long until the Flyers can offer sheet him?

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

Why not just trade Frost for Rempe and 2nd? I mean after Poehling's promotion to top6 we need to fill out bottom 6 role.

Just like in the Ghost trade, you assume incorrectly which team is giving up a second to make that trade.

 

[BringBackHakstol]

Washington is terrible. Zero shots in the third down 2 goals

The Flyers didn’t know that before the goalie pull. This has already been discussed

Tom Wilson needs to leave the NHL. Useless player at this point who is going to do something stupid and end a guy's career.

You mean future Flyer Tom Wilson right? Flyers will sign him just before he is ready to retire and no one else wants him.
