No Jam? How about PB
Apple apply for a job with the Flyers will ya
I just ran the numbers this morning...
Provorov and Hägg are arguably both in the top 4 amongst NHL Dmen in terms of toughest usage... alongside Pietrangelo and Manson. No-one else sees the ZSR, TOI QoC and Corsi QoC combo those guys do.
By the overall numbers Provy and Hägg have an argument to be doing the best job of those 4 at 5v5... #1 and #2 in scoring comfortably... and #2 and #3 in every other meaningful category after Pietrangelo, who they are not far off.
Their minutes pretty much do not allow you to get over 50% Corsi or 49% ExGF... that is pretty much as much as you can ask for, and both their 5v5 scoring rates are "fine".
They are not going to do any better unless their usage becomes more normal.
These are 21 and 23 year olds who when paired together have had to do things no other NHL pairing is expected to do. And they have done a reasonable job tbh (sans awful netminding behind them making it look worse than it is.)
The Flyers are arguably handicapping themselves by using two dmen so heavily vs oppositions best players. No pairing should get that usage... especially given Sanheim-Gudas has been DOMINANT, yet not trusted any more than at the start of the season.
It would not be so bad either if MacDonald (the guy on the pair generally getting the 2nd line assignments...) had not been one of the worst Dmen in the league this year by the numbers (40% ExGF)
But it basically means that no matter what the top six forwards do the only battles the team can win on a regular basis are the bottom six ones.
As one pairing is going to get outplayed every game with AMac on.
And another pairing has minutes that mean they pretty much have to be perfect to break even.
Sounds like we need a new coach.

It's been four years counting with the current head coach. The revelation of documented issues above are no longer amazing. It's old hat, expected.Amazing how so many issues come down to this.
Let's be honest here, hakstol is given vote of confidence just for the sake of the team. No organization is going to shit on its coach, I bet locker room is in enough disarray as it is.Amazing how so many issues come down to this.

Still just hire quenville and get it over with!
Coaching and system matters.What the **** is with this team? Simmer is cooked. Jake is disaster. JVR has been about as useful as Lehtera, that's how putrid his play is. Patrick looks nothing like he did in playoffs and even raffl somehow looks like matt read levels of slow. Only Lindblom has looked consistently good.
I thought this is the year where we would finally have depth up front, but it seems as crappy as ever.
Speaking of those of you with more hockey knowledge Whats up with our breakouts?Coaching and system matters.
Hakstol put em on the “3 high/leave the zone early” NHL 19 setting.Speaking of those of you with more hockey knowledge Whats up with our breakouts?

It certainly doesn’t help that JVR and Voracek are being used horribly wrong.What the **** is with this team? Simmer is cooked. Jake is disaster.

That isnt on coach. Players have to nut up and Lindbolm could go to the AHL IMO.What the **** is with this team? Simmer is cooked. Jake is disaster.

JVR-Patrick-Simmonds never had a chance to work and Jake on the 3rd line is insanely idiotic.
The only time our top line had help this year was when they had Lindblom-Patrick-Voracek, but Lindblom must’ve plowed Hakstols wife because he’s in the doghouse for absolutely no reason.
Also, the only time the PP worked this year was when it had G, Couts, Ghost, Patrick, and TK on it, but of course Hakstol immediately changes that after they finally start scoring.
Actually the only time the 2nd line looked good was Lindblom - Patrick - TK. Any line with TK has looked good.
Lindblom - Patrick - Voracek: GF/GA 3/6 Corsi 43.4%
Weise - Patrick - Voradcek: GF/GA 0/5 Corsi 42.4%
Keep Voracek away from Patrick.
Weal - Simmonds and JVR/Weise at LW have been our second best combo

It needs pointing out again.That isnt on coach. Players have to nut up and Lindbolm could go to the AHL IMO.
It's hilarious that you ignore the Weise factor on that line. Yeah, I'm sure the driving issue there is the top flight RW and not the misused human horse.
