Apparently he was kicked in the face by his horse.

2. TK
3. Trigger

Torts is not Hakstol, he doesn't run a defensive oriented system.

He's as advertised, an aggressive forecheck with D-men pinching to maintain pressure in the O-zone, leading to odd man rushes against when it doesn't work, which is why he puts so much stress on back checking, to limit the time those rushes have to make plays.

So you admit neither aspect of his systems works anymore correct ?

Flyers are putting up nice metrics the last six games, helps to play weaker competition, also helps to have some time in a new scheme.
Takes time to break ingrained habits, like blindly throwing the puck up the boards to try and exit the D-zone.
Or to properly cycle to cover for the D-man attacking the O-zone.

Years and years of this team obsessing over defense and purging all skill, creativity, and risky offensive initiative from the roster is really shining through. That's against a Columbus roster that's more wrecked than ours.

Tortorella has now twice buried half his roster on the bench to close a big chunk of gametime, before relying on gassed players in OT for a loss:

^^Of course, the roster is so bad it's hard to blame him conceptually, but there are some questionable decisions and evaluations in here. The execution isn't good.

As seen here, some of the wrong line combos were being emphasized:

Oh and I haven't done a dive into Laughton yet but per the eye test for a while now he seems to be playing absolutely great out there. Lots of little things going right. Bit of an unsung hero, perhaps.

What in the flying f*** is that middle chart. Like that 0,1 computer language.

Also who in their right mind tracks this stuff. Nerds :laugh:

Not really. Never said I was bothered by it. Just that the weed butter kicked in and made laughing at your takes even easier
Oh, I think you’re irate & are using the weed butter to medicate your rage. You don’t have to lie.

Sounds about right
