Terrible considering what they gave for MacDonald.

For a guy not considered good enough to be in the Flyers top 6?

So he isn't in the top six for the Flyers but he is for the Bruins?

Flyers must have better defense than the Bruins.

Not sure if troll or just a ratard.

If you think MacDonald is that much better than Mez than you are the ratard.

So you watch a lot of Islanders hockey, eh?

I've probably seen five or six of their games this year. Hockey writers I trust don't like it and he is basically a number six defender so I'd rather have seen them use Gus.

ah fuck

re-clenched.. fucking Caps PP

Goofy game

PK taking a huge shit tonight.

If he's a sixth defender not sure why reports have him asking for a multi-million dollar contract this offseason

I mean, the Caps PP is pretty darn good, and the PK was perfect 6-6 on Sunday right? I guess it's the law of averages or something.

They got too comfortable with the lead. They've been flat all period.

From Sporting News
What makes MacDonald a pretty strong buyer-beware: brutal puck possession numbers, even for a bad team. The Islanders take just 43.4 percent of all even-strength shot attempts when MacDonald is on the ice, down from 49 percent as a team, the lowest such number of any of their regular defensemen. Only eight defensemen in the league have a worse percentage of Corsi events than MacDonald.


A player's usage can affect those numbers — who he plays against, how often he starts in the offensive zone — and in MacDonald's case, it certainly does. The minutes he plays aren't easy, but his struggles outstrip that, far and away.

So, while he's a guy that could help in a different situation, he's been miscast as a top-four defenseman and expects to be paid as such when he hits the market. The likelihood he turns out to be worth it is small; the odds that the Flyers are the the team that pays him are not.

Please no OT

woooo

Good home-home.

Downie with the big stones there.

Would've been nice if the leafs didn't gift the rangers two sh goals in the third tonight to give them a point.

First flyers game I watched in like a year. I missed hockey.

March = hockey season!

Nice win, glad they didn't blow it.

Giroux/Voracek are incredible to watch

Real good win, tho.

Flawed or not this is a fun team to watch. Never boring.

The first line is amazing.
