I actually said he played a good game but that we can’t afford to have a playey, any player, play a good game and get shots towards to net, but be responsible for multiple goals against. Sanhiem has not scored and has contributed little to offense. Sanhiem has had several poor plays that resulted in goals against.
You're a results guy I get it. Someone scores they get credit. Other team scores someone gets blamed. Goals happen so rarely that everything gets magnified if you just narrow it down to goal results. Look at Ghost last year. Shitty goal results and everyone says he can't play D. Not much of that this year, huh?
As for the points, he doesn't play on the PP and the Flyers are a 1 line team. He plays like 13% of his shifts with that line. He put two pucks right on Filppula's stick in the crease, no goals. Does he have to pass Flip's stick into the net as well? It's not like he's not creating chances or getting his own (and he's not even being that aggressive by his standards). The points will come. I am not worried about that at all.
Would Morin have a better impact on the team? It’s great that we are tightening up on D. Really is. But we can’t score more that a few goals a game max. So until we get a new coach and are able to score more goals, we can’t have blatant errors losing us games.
So we just concede that this team will never score and play even more conservative? Alrighty then.
As for the bolded, that's exactly how the coach thinks and operates and that's why we have the results that we do.
Morin would decrease the amount of goals going in and could even bring more production than sanhiem to this point. If there was no Morin I’d have nothing to say.
We literally have years of data including last year when they were on the same team that suggests this is nothing more than a hopeless claim.
FWIW as far as the D goes, when Sanheim is on the ice, the Flyers give up the fewest shot attempts and the fewest scoring chances. Trust the Process.
