It’s pretty amazing Nelson, Bailey, Lee, Czikas, Martin, Clutterbuck, Pelech, Pulock, Leddy, Boychuk have been together so long. Might have missed a couple on both sides. Pretty hammered. Grey goose and soda since 7pm.

I'd pay good money for someone to ask Garth why he never bothered hiring a real coach. It's amazing what Lou and Barry have done with Garth's players.

The only legit coach he hired was Ted Nolan, which ended on odd terms. Not even sure what happened.

Then there was the Neil smith saga

Garth did not even make that hire. That was Charles. Garth took over after Neil Smith. After Ted Garth and Charles only wanted puppets.

Watching the Vegas V Vancouver series, Quinn Hughes is small and easily manipulated by the stronger forwards.

That Vegas Vancouver game was wide open compared to the isles flyers game. As boring as the isles are supposed to be i think the flyers play a boring game too

Maybe. Or is it that the Islanders are dictating the pace and style of play? The Flyers have some talented goal scorers, but the Isles' defensive structure isn't allowing them time and space to make plays.

The flyers have not been playing well since the round robin. Able to get away with that against Montreal, but not the islanders. Too many no-shows/inconsistency from the guys they relied on on the regular season.

Shoot on this kid he ain’t that good.

Let’s Go!

Hart is a very good goalie who will have a long career. He’s young and prone to these mental lapses still. When he’s on he’s amazing, but then he has a game or two like this. That’s fine in the regular season but you can’t do that in the post season.

Some of the stuff i read here is amazing. shots from the dots are long shots, pageau at $5mil a year is a horrible signing, goals scored from high percentage areas are bad goals, coaches always lie about team performance to cover for their goalies.

Talents there but he’s been inconsistent in the post season this year. He’s only 22 so you would think the mental game and maturity should come. If he puts it all together he will be a very good goalie.

Exactly. He’s a kid still learning the NHL game but his talent is evident and to me it’s not an IF of when he puts it together it’s a when IMO. I expect Sorokin will most likely experience the same kind of growing pains.
