The Philadelphia Flyers placed defenseman Shayne Gostibehere on waivers today. And it’s got New York Islanders fans all abuzz about bringing him in. It’s almost as if fans are overreacting to a few tough losses and are grasping at straws to try and improve the club.
I get it. The loss of Lee for the season, Leo Komarov, Ross Johnston, and Matt Martin all lining up on the left side, and losing back-to-back games to the Penguins by a combined score of 8-4 isn’t good.
