Flyers Advanced Analysis Thread (2018-2019)

Yeah, there was the issue where if he had to move a limb to make a save the save likely wasn't happening.

That 2010 squad once Lavi got things rolling was a bit of a stat anomaly as I recall. For instance we didn't do well at Corsi; but that makes sense because why wouldn't you take every possible shot at Leighton? And on top of that, we did well at keeping shot quality low. Even Carter destroyed that Devil in a game when he shot from the slot, because they had to play like they had an empty net.

I was at that game! Nasty hit.

Jeez that hit should have costed him some games.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Jeez that hit should have costed him some games.

It came before the reforms ushered in in part due to Richards' hit on Booth earlier in the year.

 

[GapToothedWonder]

It's crazy to think those sorts of hits used to happen fairly often.

I can't remember the last time I had to watch a player leave on a stretcher.

 

[Audible Velvet]

You mean early last year?

Though, at that point it chiefly showed in stats because the eye test showed goofiness. Nonetheless they were doing work.

Yeah. Visually, they lacked a certain smoothness, but were getting the job done. I think Magua has it summed up above. Gudas = good, Travis = extra special.

Good thing it happened. That hit was totally unnecessary. I get people want hockey to be physical and I'm all for big open ice hits if players have their head down but I don't think players should take advantage of other players on the ice.

 

[TB87]

I’m no fan of Christian Folin...but there is no justifiable reason to take him out of the lineup in favor of MacDonald right now. Zero.

The coach said MacDonald is ready to make an “impact.” Anyone think that it'll actually be a positive impact?

 

[hatcher]

Those players atleast got the nose dirty. Players when hitting can over do it from time to time but they werent dirty players.

Look at that back check compared to todays flyers. What a joke right HAHAHAHA.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

The games are too tight to be throwing big hits anymore beyond the potential supplemental discipline. Refs will assuredly call a big collision a penalty whether legit or not more times than not.

 

[Lindberg]

Not dirty players but both of those hits were dirty. Neither of them served any purpose of separating the player from the puck.

If they got in the shoulders that's how you separeate players from the puck. Nothing is better then taking the body because it deters softer players but it is your puck without any fight.

 

[Jtown]

well look who our best dman is.

good lord. AMac is elite! he is in the top 1 percentile is so many categories and in some he is even higher. Guy is killing it.

That’s a 5 minute major & likely a long suspension today. That’s been detering the vast majority of the league now a days (sans your Wilson’s & Gudas’). I’m sure more education on head injuries as well.

That hit happened almost a decade ago believe it or not. It was before a headshot rule was even in place. The Richards hit on Booth & the Cooke hit on Savard that both didn’t get suspended at the time changed the game on that front.

 

[PAZUZU]

That's crazy to take Folin out

It'll be an impact alright.

It didn't prevent the goal, did it?

 

[Lindberg]

The puck was already gone from their sticks by the time they got hit, heck one puck was already in the net. I love physical hard hockey just as much as everyone else but that hit is unacceptable.

 

[hatcher]

It didn't prevent the goal, did it?

Should have. You like to fight don't you hahahaha. Those two were so much better because they could do it all and you know that but you defend these stars who go one way only and are slow, soft and scared of contact.

Hahahaha I know but they didn't stop playing like some on the current team.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Our team doesn't stop playing. You don't need to make things up, you know.

 

[Lindberg]

Our team doesn't stop playing. You don't need to make things up, you know.

When do they start playing?

 

[hatcher]

HAHAHAHA they arent a hard working second effort team. Dont bother I have watched two many teams in Philly that have been.

 

[hatcher]

When do they start playing?

They never really bring the hard skating anyone on this team and havent for 5 yrs. I want it changed from coach out.
