Another fun fact, from New Years onwards, our stupid bottom 6 winger Konecny was 15th in the entire league in even strength points.
For anyone who cares about reality...
Konecny's most common forward linemates:
Couturier
Giroux
Filppula
Patrick (first half of the season when he wasn't playing well)
Simmonds
Raffl
Weise
Laughton (which means he was also getting 4th line time)
Lehtera
Weal
Leier

As you can see, when he wasn't with Giroux and Couturier he had ZERO help and nobody could have scored under those circumstances. The next real top 6 linemate he had was Voracek, who he played with for a grand total of 19 minutes all year.
On top of that, it's being intentionally dishonest to act like he was carried by Giroux and Couturier. He very clearly pulled his own weight on that line and he created just as much offense as they did. Look at these goals and notice how many were him scoring because of his own speed or shot, not because one of his linemates did it all for him.
I screamed like a 5 year old girl when that happened.that goal against boston is amazing.
only because others created open ice.that goal against boston is amazing.

All wussies.WAIT A GOLLY GOSH DARN SECOND
You mean to tell me that Bergeron was on the ice and we scored? Great players can make mistakes and still be great? No player is flawless and judging them based only on a few mistakes is a stupid thing to do?
Well this is all shocking news to me. I was led to believe that REAL star players are flawless. Guess our lazy garbage top players aren't such duds after all.
only because others created open ice.
Add Ghost to that list too.Its almost (definitely) like people that dont recognize how good Giroux and Konecny really are have a MAJOR mental deficiency
Add Ghost to that list too.
Notice what they have in common? Under 6’0” and ultra skilled. And it’s not even like any of them are weak/soft players either.
.
but he's not a franchise cornerstone player, even at his peak he wasn't a dominant player, the only ones on the Flyers who might be are Provorov and Patrick, and that remains to be seen.
That is just bs. How many times player has scored 100 points in last 10 years. I guess there are no doninant players in this era except for McDavid and Crosby?
This is all so amazingly relevant to Philippe Myers. Glad I stopped in.
Hey guys, just a reminder. I bumped this thread to share a neat Phil Myers video I made. You should watch it. Also, the Pimp Misha video from last month. Watch that also.
