Weal is like a child's top. There's a lot of moving and spinning around but when all is said and done nothing really happened.

You mean a Beyblade.

A tv show made about spinning tops lol.

Maybe he could get a cushy long tenured position with a college somewhere.
- mayorofangrytown

there is no doubt he can go back to the college ranks and get a job easily.

Hakstol alt?

Yes, Beyblade for youse young guys

So the GM brings up 2 players and the coach proceeds to scratch one and play the other 5:45 or whatever. On the surface there seems to be a disconnect there.

Let's see the next couple games what the times are. I'm going to say he wanted to ease NAK in. Which normally isn't a bad thing. NAK played a decent game they'll probably look at the tape of his shifts and see if it warrants more ice time.

I was more confused by not dressing Goulbourne against a team that's traditionally pretty tough but seems to get pushed around quite a bit this season. Would have seemed like a perfect spot for a little "sandpaper" ya know.

They squeezed one out so I'm just happy to high five my kid when the game was over but the lineup decisions continue to baffle if only in small ways.

Would love if the Flyers traded Simmonds to the Preds

Looks like the islanders players are finally realizing they need to keep their sticks in passing lanes. Good on the players

Then did he tell you to get the f out of my basement?

Yeah, whatever. They won!!! As long as they win, I’m not going to pick apart their mistakes. They get a “get out of jail free card” from me. Keep those wins coming!

Against a team with big injury issues, that was not much of a test as we just got by with a win. Play that way vs SJ they will get burned.

for?

Flyers won a game on the road but I'm unhappy because Goulbourne didn't play! What's wrong with this team!

Depends if he had a lady friend over.

Cockblocking moat.

I’m going to throw a hot take.

Weise might have been struggling with some personal or substance issues the last while. To see a guy drop off completely as he did...

Is he close friends with Lehtera?

How did NAK look in the whopping 6 minutes he got?

I was pleasantly surprised. Physical. Maybe some nice plays.

He does have one thing going for him... he's consistent.

I love Couts, but it's clear he doesn't produce to the same level as others on that unit.

From the three years Schenn occupied that spot, His scoring rate was 5.03 p/60. Hartnell was at 4.66p/60 for the 3 previous seasons.

In 17-18 Couts was at 3.16 p/60.

I don't know if a better option currently exists on the team, but that position requires someone who can win loose puck battles, good with deflections and has a decent shot. I wouldn't mind trying Laughton, JVR or Lindblom there, both really good with deflections and board battles. Laughton as a very good wrist shot.

To add to your point, Couturier doesn’t even position himself the same as Hartnell or Schenn in that spot. He moves around. Sometimes he’s so deep outside of the crease, he’s standing next to Simmonds. He’s good when supporting the puck but he’s not keeping things simple like Hartnell and Schenn did, which made the two players successful. Stay in the middle of the opposing team’s box. Double screen. Wait for a pass from G for a quick one time shot.

JvR would be a lot more successful at this. In fact I would argue JvR has the best natural shot of all the forwards on the team.
