NHL 15: Philly Flyers Regular Season Part 1(Year 5)

Taking breaks in-between seasons longer than any active TV show, it's the Philly Flyers GM Mode!

Finally, the Philly Flyers GM Mode returns to my blog. It's been about four months, but I've returned to this series ready to continue forward. When we left off, we'd just lost the Stanley Cup Finals to the Colorado Avs, and I was pretty upset. Let's start off the return of the series with the annual Prospect Watch.

Prospect Watch(top 15 prospects not currently on the NHL team):
1. Logan Brown, center, 20 years old, 75 overall, 4 1/2 yellow star potential
2. Cale Fleury, defenseman, 19 years old, 65 overall, 4 1/2 yellow star potential
3. Logan Flodell, goalie, 21 years old, 78 overall, 4 1/2 yellow star potential
4. Ivan Provorov, defenseman, 21 years old, 73 overall, 4 1/2 red star potential
5. Samuel Morin, defenseman, 23 years old, 79 overall, 4 yellow star potential
6. Evan Weinger, right winger, 21 years old, 77 overall, 4 yellow star potential
7. Alexis Pepin, left winger, 22 years old, 77 overall, 4 yellow star potential
8. Evan Smith, goalie, 21 years old, 75 overall, 4 yellow star potential
9. Spencer Watson, right winger, 22 years old, 78 overall, 4 red star potential
10. Glenn Gawdin, center, 21 years old, 77 overall, 4 red star potential
11. Nick Merkley, center, 21 years old, 73 overall, 4 red star potential
12. Olivier Galipeau, defenseman, 21 years old, 71 overall, 4 red star potential
13. Philippe Burrows, left winger, 20 years old, 70 overall, 4 red star potential
14. Kyle Makismovich, left winger, 20 years old, 68 overall, 4 red star potential
15. Marshall Shantz, right winger, 19 years old, 67 overall, 4 red star potential

We continue to have a stacked list of prospects, a sign of how bad we were at the start of this series, with Logan Brown and Cale Fleury leading the way. Brown looks close to being ready, but I might hold him and the other Logan, Logan Flodell, back for Cale Fleury. All three debuting at the same time would be awesome.

Here is a reminder of what our lines look like:

Forwards
Burakovsky(85)-Giroux(90)-Voracek(90)
Duclair(83)-Horvat(85)-Forsberg(86)
Perlini(83)-Couturier(85)-Versteeg(81)
Lemieux(80)-Corneil(80)-Reaves(80)

Defensemen
Ekman-Larsson(86)-Jones(86)
Gostisbehere(85)-Hagg(85)
Pettersson(83)-Meloche(82)

Goalies
Campbell(89)
Schmidmeyer(82)

A new name to the lineup is Johnny Corneil, filling the 4th line center. He's an offensively minded center, but has enough hockey awareness to play some defense, and can bang on the 4th line.

The start of the season wasn't kind to us, as we played the champs and the Lightning, the team we beat in the Eastern Conference Finals, 4 times in the first 2 months. Another long term injury to Claude Giroux, and a beat up defense, led to a 17-14-3 record to end 2018.

We got Giroux back in January, and turned our season around. From the end of January to mid February, we rolled out an impressive 12 game winning streak. We entered March, and the trade deadline, with a record of 34-21-5, good for 73 points, putting us right in the midst of the playoff race. Here are the team stat leaders:

Goals: Jakub Voracek, 37
Assists: Jakub Voracek, 34
Plus/Minus: Shayne Gostisbehere, +12
PIMS: Ryan Reaves, 104
Wins: Jack Campbell, 29

Led by a strong season from Jakub Voracek, the Flyers are right in it. Next post, we got into the trade deadline. Will deals be made? Tune in next time!

South Park "Not Funny" Review

Good night, amateur trolls that trolled a troll and trolled themselves into a troll, brothers. With one episode to go in the season, South Park has remained consistently funny and on-point with their humor, though I worry about how their going to wrap all of this up. There are a good six to seven ongoing storylines right now, and only one episode to finish off a few of them. There was no clear focus this week, but I'll start where the episode ended, with Gerald's troll-based storyline. It's pretty satisfying to see the Troll Hunter's massive revelation; that he is, in fact, just another troll, bent on world destruction. Even Gerald couldn't find the humor in his master plan, as the Troll Hunter is truly in a league of his own. With the world on the brink of war, the trolling has truly begun, as the Troll Hunter went to work on his own employees and the other trolls, though why they had to be naked for that is beyond me. Kyle is always a sucker for saving the ...

Latest Update on new puppy

As you may well know from my mom's posts, there is a handsome puppy in the house. His name is Rascal, which appropriately fits him. Before Tuesday, he'd never had much problem with the crate, something I found interesting. He'd also never experienced anxiety issues when people came and left. Then yesterday, my dad and I were standing in the driveway organizing things for a trip to Goodwill. All of a sudden, Rascal freaked out. Some history behind the newest member of our family. Rascal was a stray in Hollister, when CARE, a rescue organization, found him. At this time Rascal was estimated to be about 2 months old, the age of a puppy when you first get them. He went to another family, who had him for quite a while, around 5 months. Then, without explanation, this family moved to Ohio, surrendering Rascal. CARE once again had him and his crazy antics for about a month. Rascal's name was changed to Boots in his time with CARE, but he wouldn't answer to that name. He ...
