TK doesn't play the PK or at end of games because the coach is bad and he prefers to play inferior players. I didn't get carried away with Ghost, I described exactly what he does and you don't even disagree.
Maybe because I pointed that out months ago?
Ghost is much improved defensively (sure, he did it on his own, it's MAGIC!).
But he was physically dominated in the Ottawa game, just shoved out of the way and pushed to the ice and was basically a nonfactor in front of the net. That's also what he does, it's a problem with practically any 5'10 185 lb defenseman trying to wrestle with 200+ lb forwards.
I don't love Hak, I just think it's abject nonsense to think that some miracle worker coach is going to come in and make this team better.
This team has performed about where you'd expect given the talent, so it's unlikely most new coaches will get it to perform better.
(A few people here have delusions about the level of talent on this team, but not people outside of Philly)
What will make this team better is more talent, especially an above average goalie and more size and speed.
Flyers were ranked #11 preseason, just ahead of Anaheim and CBJ.
Vegas line is 98.5 points, Sporting News predicted 97 points.
That is, even with the addition of JVR, Flyers are expected to do about as well as last year (probably b/c they looked at the goalies).
That's who they are, you could bring Sullivan over, but unless he brought Murray and Crosby with him, doubt those numbers would change.
