That’s what I’d do. Happy Hextall goal anniversary day all!

I mentioned this on ek s thread. Somehow hextall scored that historic goal and only got 3rd star?? Seems weird to me. He must have played terribly otherwise haha

Maybe they felt bad for the 3rd star thing and made him the GM?

All I want for Christmas is Bill back It was for trump to win but now I’m getting greedy

5 regulation wins in 27 games. Thank God for the charity loser point to prop these teams up.

Ryan P has earned zero extra playing time beyond 10 minutes, don’t get me wrong, I hope he starts playing better, speed and young enough, but he is a disaster on the reg.

Poehling isn't anymore of a disaster than anyone else on the team. The issue is that they have a lack of quality center depth so they overplay him.

Maybe. Very reasonable take. But I think that the timing was a bit off. Why wait 27 years?

So drysdale is back in I see. Hopefully this serves as a reset for him but I have my doubts.

Dude has hands of stone, but he certainly isn't alone on this team.

Well. Hextall was named the gm of the team in 2014 I believe.

So drysdale is back in I see. Hopefully this serves as a reset for him but I have my doubts.

He needs to play the rest of the season, same with Andrae. They want to see more of Grans, move Risto. I thought this was a rebuild, not a push for the playoffs. I get confused some times.

I’d play him and play him lots. I’m just worried because he doesn’t seem to be progressing.

I think his first step to progressing as a player will be to stay on the ice.

That's what the rest of the year is about. Andrae made it out of camp last season, looked overwhelmed in OTT sent down to.the AHL- not seen till this year. Andrae is the cautionary tale of a young defensemen- most times improvement is far from linear.

Not a bad start at all.

Might need to start putting Scott Laughton on milk cartons

You can't vacate The Room.

Kinda boring so far. Most interesting thing so far is Ashlyn’s outfit.

Still Laughton 🥔 has almost 2 minutes more icetime than Frost in the first period. Torts favorites can really be so anonymous they want. And they also aren't getting into Torts doghouse for mistakes.

That's because of the PP's that Utah had.

The Flyers are playing a lousy game so far. Their gaps are too big right now, they need to get tighter and move up the ice as a unit. They look really disjoiunted again, like they did the other night against Florida.

Drysdale!!!
