Literally yes. The way they play without the puck directly correlates to their shot metrics, Their expected goals for and against metrics, and literally every other "advanced" stat.

The flyers have had that same issue in front of the net for over a decade now. I can't fathom it's strictly a personell issue.

I don't have a clue what the right thing to do with this roster is. But I have a few things I'd like to see.

1st- I'd like to see a bonafide top pairing RHd dman added.

2nd- a mixup in the...

I have just as much data showing they were a great pair together as you do saying they aren't.

who are over 50% ExGF this season:

Giroux, Hayes, JvR, Laughton, Konecny, Patrick, Couturier, Lindblom, Farabee

Sanheim, Gostisbehere

9 regular Fwds... but only 2 Dmen.

In addition...

Look, I'm not excited by the deadline moves, how can you be? But you have to put some things into context. The trade deadline is primarily expiring contracts going from sellers to buyers.

All the...

As far as the reward for resigning laughton, I believe it's a bottom nine forward capable of playing all three positions and brings an edge to his game.

my 7 forwards I'm protecting this...

I'm not in love with contract. Feel like an AAV discount should have been given if the commitment was for 5 years. I also don't hate it.

When I think about what type of guys I want the flyers to...

The counterpoint to this is that laughton is these guys ceilings. Why gamble when you have it already here?

4. One of AVs kryptonite throughout his coaching career as always been a lack of clean controlled exits.

3. I'm not sure I'd call the team slow. They definitely aren't fast though so Im not...

1. You can't listen to the coach while watching a game. You aren't with him.

2. This is what film studies are for.

3. Wonder what would happen if a coach tried coaching. That could help in...

Yes. Cuz people get better at stuff by actively taking away their opportunities to do stuff

Weirdly I think the Flyers are 10-1-2 against not boston this season.

Not to jump the gun, but is Zayde Wisdom actually good?

A lot of comparables I've seen are in the realm of a jake muzzin deal:
Carl Grundstrom, Sean Durzito and the Leafs first-round pick.

Basically a 1st and two b-ish level prospects.

Why are we sitting Myers?

I guess I'm with you to an extent. I think it depends on the cost to acquire and how the flyers look closer to the deadline, whenever that is.

That's not how expansion works. I guess I could have clarified initially.

It's either 7+3+1 or 8+1 in expansion.

This.

Side note....

Thoughts on pulling the trigger on ekholm, and if it works out protecting 8 skaters instead?


Giroux
Hayes
Couts

I agree with the premise of bad hockey.

Disagree entirely with the lucky bounce thing. Both goals were legit.

Aren't you one of the same people who complained when Konecny got benched for a game?

Only guys that caught my eye were Kase and Andreoff.

Kase because he has the skillset offensively to be a pesky third line winger. Unfortunately he looked completely lost in his own end. Likely...

The taxi squad was designed exactly for this purpose. The flyers were only short 5 or 6 skaters. The taxi squad houses more than that. There's been teams playing in this exact situation.

Sour grapes homerism here.

The devils had 18 players on the list.

Literally had enough players on their covid list to ice an entire lineup of skaters. Apples and oranges

Also, should probably give guys more than 2 weeks to learn how to play a new position before giving them NHL time

He's at least two steps behind everything. It's brutal.
