I think I'll have a new avatar after tonight. Just need to convince someone to make it for me.

 

[GKJ]

I don't know if the Flyers have caught on, but all these hits and fights don't seem to be rejuvenating anyone

 

[Larry44]

He has gone up vs a lot of big, tough guys and at least held his own.

No doubt, but I never like it. He shouldn't have to risk breaking his hands or his head fighting guys like that.

Think of the children.

Yeh, I agree... let the big guys play with themselves or give them Rinaldo to toy with.

 

[CodyTheHuman]

Don't think I've seen Simmer get ****ed up that bad.

Shieeeet they can't even win a fight.

He definitely got rung by that first punch.

^this with Berube written on it ?

 

[Appleyard]

Welcome to the real world Vinny...

50% zone starts (so far) vs lines other than 4th.

-3 after 2 periods.

 

[Tripod]

Nashville wins 7-6

I miss those games...lol.

At least they were interesting.

 

[Random Forest]

I'm with Appleyard. I used to think keeping Berube to close out the season may be positive, but at this point, he's doing irreparable damage to player development and culture.

Even in 2007, the Flyers were still a place where players wanted to be. The culture was a big part of that. I feel we're losing that culture. I truly hope Voracek sees himself long term in Philly.

I wouldn't blame him if he doesn't, though.

all i can say is if they let him walk for nothing im done with this organization.

 

[Angry Hockey Dad]

Adam Oates' headskin is still way too tight for his skull. So unsettling.

Oh my god haha

 

[Delete99991]

Still talking about these "close calls" with skate blades.

Telecast couldn't be any more boring.

I'm thinking a combo of Berube and Jabba the Hutt.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

4 games against 4 teams who are legitimately worse than the Flyers.
1 point.

 

[Tripod]

So....including this game....the last 4 games were all against teams in the bottom 7 worst teams(not including us).

And we are about to lose all 4 games.

Why bother trying to win now.

"For pride"

He's going to be offered a handsome extension in the summer. We'll see if he turns it down.

 

[Cyborg LeClair]

They're playing so poorly that Gomez and Jagr are walking all over them.

I mean. it's cool and all that Jagr just beat one of Gordie's records for oldest to score a hat trick, but did it have to be against the flyers?

 

[Philadelphia Ducks]

Welp, loaded up the boxscore, glad I decided to watch the NFL playoffs instead.

in other news, capgeek has permanently been shut down due to poor health of founder.

Yuck.


About zone starts. if I've understood them corectly they account for when the start of a shift is a faceoff in either zone. My question is, how large of a proportion of a players shifts in a game starts with a faceoff? Any numbers for this that you know of? Just curious.

 

[Angry Hockey Dad]

To play our way out of a good pick obviously

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Maybe I am missing someone, but IIRC, the last ex-Flyer to record a hat trick was Vinnie Prospal and Lecavalier assisted on each of those goals. That was 2005.

If he was a flyers fan he may have a lawsuit on his hand.
