Exactly!Not every team plays at the frantic pace the Flyers have all season.
It's a calling card of Torts teams, they start the season flying at a super high intensity. They DO beat teams by simply out working them. They play almost every game with borderline playoff intensity.
And then by this time of the year his teams are shot. He doesn't understand how to manage a teams conditioning in a way that allows them to maintain a pace (or better yet accelerate) into the playoffs.
In my opinion it's the main reason his playoff record is so terrible.
We'll see, Islanders are an enigma. But the Flyers have not played well against teams who are desperate to beat them, specifically.The Islanders are going to spank them.
