How is Lindblom-Patrick-Sanheim not a thing in 3 on 3??? AHHHHHH

Age matters

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Flyers now have a 68.6% PK. Sounds about right, but it seems that Hexy is okay with this.

 

[JXC]

Most of this team’s woes are about guys not being able to put the puck in the net. The so-called boring conservative system yields plenty of chances that become plenty of chest snipes and shots wide. This and goaltending are the crux of it.

Bombers with a big chance tomorrow.

Bombers with a big chance tomorrow.

I think they win.

If anyone has inquired and the answer has not been presented:

 

[Striiker]

Against the #1 team in the league.

Shows what they could do when not held back.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

Weise has been more effective than Lindblom the last two games.

 

[Rebels57]

Au contraire, mon ami. There are layers and facets of complexity here that you’re simply unable to grasp. Nooks and crannies. It’s a veritable English muffin of complexity.

Personally, I blame the cult.

he has had moments but has been brutal at times. late in the game today he was awful. he was single-handedly killing our momentum every time he touched the puck...

lindy just seems incapable, most times, of finishing. if he ever gets over that hes gonna be a great asset.

 

[WIP CALLER]

Weise has been more effective than Lindblom the last two games.

Ahhhh so that's why coach played him in the last minute. See I just thought he was an idiot(he is).

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

For those questioning that record earlier.

 

[Tripod]

Weise has been more effective than Lindblom the last two games.

That's a random comment, but ok.

Might as well ignore the rest of the games then and demote the rookie. Only on pace for 41 points now.

Missed the game. Busy day.


Is there a new system in place or did the star players drag the team?

The PP was resurrected from the dead (3 goals) and Giroux was absolutely fantastic all game.

The latter, of course. They were unleashed when the game got out of hand, and they brought the game back in hand, only to see handless "Cal" hand it over in OT.

They had 34 shots through 2 periods before the game got out of hand. They just happened to put it in the net in the last 10 minutes.

This is correct.

Truth is there is no system holding them back. That whole notion is a total crock invented by people who don’t want to admit that their heroes have flaws.

 

[Striiker]

Not all shots are equal.

If you’re content with perimeter and point shots, cool, but knowledgeable fans aren’t.

The system is trash.

The inherent assertion here is that shooting from far away, on purpose, makes scoring just as easy as if you set up the slot.


You know that claim is necessary for your post to actually work, right? So, do you agree with that?

 

[BobbyClarkeFan16]

I doubt any knowledgeable fan will fail to renew.
All you had to do is look at this game and see how close they are to being a serious contender.
Sure AMac is a scrub (so is Folin), but you can see how much faster this team is compared to a year or two ago.

The biggest difference is TB has quicker, higher skilled players, too many Flyer forwards struggle shooting, just look at that OT!
But even that should change the next year or two.

But I can't believe they didn't call a penalty on Parquette, that was in front of a ref and glaringly obvious.

Just stop. Enough with this 'they don't have enough skill' trash. There's MORE than enough speed and skill in the lineup. The problem is that the ENTIRE coaching staff has ZERO clue how tio use every one of these players effectively.

We're a quarter of the way into season 4 of the Hakstol era and they're still the same fundamentally flawed club that they were when he took over. And to make matters worse, the two star defensemen are regressing under the watch of Hakstol and Murphy. That's not graph at straws or making things up. That's on display before EVERYONE to see.

I'll give that the goaltending sucks ass and that Hextall has completely dropped the ball there. However, let's not pretend that this club simply isn't skilled enough. This club is more than adequately skilled. The problem is that beet f***er and company have no clue how to utilize it.

 

[Striiker]

You can count the teams with more skill than the Flyers on one hand.

Such a lazy lie to defend the coach.

Look where the goals were scored from, none of the were from what Haks system calls for.

Domingue did help being the opposing goalie too

I never made any such assertion.

 

[Striiker]

You said no system is holding them back. Same thing.
