GDT: Game #51: Coyotes @ Flyers - 5:00pm - Scripps

[DustyDangler]

the coyotes, well, uhhhh.
hmm.
they’re not very good.


he had a real bad game on the defensive side. he did score, but without looking I’ll say he was a minus tonight.

Dumba was a -1.

Crouse was a -3 and that's 3 consecutive games he has been a minus.

 

[IronFinn]

Dumba was a -1.

Crouse was a -3 and that's 3 consecutive games he has been a minus.

Crouse looks like sh*t the last few games. Slow. Fumbling the puck. Just all around bad.

geez, where is the old Crouse?

 

[Coyotedroppings]

That bright blue ad on a dark Flyers uni looks like shit.

Didn’t even notice it LOL. I thought their sweaters looked great, was surprised I liked the oversized numerals on the shoulder.

 

[LittlePipes]

I think AT , at some point, may grab Todd Walsh’s glasses right off his nose , throw em down, stomp em and tell Todd to quit bugging him.

 

[DustyDangler]

I can't figure out how Bear was able to get so much out of these guys early in, but now they look like monkeys copulating with a football.

Remember when...

• Carcone was a goal scorer
• The power play was clicking and didn't give up short handed chances all the time
• Crouse and Maccelli were connecting on everything
• Ingram was a Vezina candidate

 

[Coyotedroppings]

I dunno...I think they are playing hard but hard to be good with 2 defensemen. They had a decent push at the end...didn't quit.

Agreed, the poor backend makes the front end suffer.

seems like just yesterday … all coyote troubles were so far away, now it looks as though they’re here to stay….

Was a plus 1 and had a shot, but they're gonna have to give him more than 9ish minutes a game to get more out of him.

Looked good at the dot and loved his size.

Stood out to me. Significant blight on otherwise nice jerseys but it's today's NHL where they whore themselves out for any and all advertising. If you ever watch clips of old games with clean boards and ice, it's like a gentle walk through a meadow. Now it's advertising bombardment where they put crap all over the place and even the jerseys are no longer sacrosanct. Every year they boil the frog and add a little bit more. Ultimately, they will be on par with NASCAR and that hideous European league (Finland?)

Would pay to see that.

 

[Coyotedroppings]

We actually faired better than I was expecting last night.

This is why I wanted Torts, while I think he has a short shelf life, he sure can get the most out of his players, but let’s face it, Philly is further along then us. Having said that, I’m still happy with Bear.

Dumba=Pylon

Wasn't it you that said when Dumba and Hayton gets back our D will be so much better?

 

[UK Yote]

How many penalties did we take? Its like this team has decided that half are being traded and the rest don't want to be in Arizona anymore.
The last few games have been dreadful to watch.

haha, I don’t need old clips, I have a memory!

Will be a sad day, if we ever get to the Euro look.

Vejmelka might be the slowest post to post goalie I have ever seen.

Veggie has been know to overplay the post to post. He slides way past the post and then can't get back to cover the other post.

 

[Jakey53]

The continued inability to play a consistent 60 minutes and the complete disregard for discipline makes this team absolutely infuriating to watch. I’m just so tired. Out of context of the improving rebuild, and in the context of the situation off ice, it’s just not been a fun season at all.

Let's focus on the other teams we are playing. The Flyers are a pretty good team this year and have a pretty good coach behind the bench. We just lack talent. It's going to be a real rough February as far as the schedule goes. Better buckle up, it doesn't get any easier.

Penalties:

1. Travis Dermott Holding against Owen Tippett - Dumba gets beat on the boards and pyloned, Dermott has to take a penalty against speedy Tippett.
2. Michael Kesselring Penalty Shot - Hooking on breakaway against Morgan Frost - Atkinson and Frost split Kesselring and Valimaki (speed kills)
3. Sean Durzi Tripping against Morgan Frost - Stick in the feet.
4. Jason Zucker Interference against Sean Walker - Definitely wasn't interference, puck was right next to 'em
5. Jack McBain Tripping against Morgan Frost - Stick in the feet
6. Nick Bjugstad Tripping against Travis Sanheim - Stick in the feet
7. Sean Durzi Delaying Game - Puck over glass - C'mon man.
8. Matt Dumba High-sticking against Scott Laughton - Comedy of Dumba errors

Speed kills. Frost drew 3 and Coyotes could not keep up with him and Tippett.

It's okay to take penalties against the 31st best PP team in the league and PK was 7/8 but...16 mins is nearly a whole period in the box. Keller TOI was 16:01 (his average is 19:21) as a result.

It has been a little better, but yah, Dumba is slow in open ice. In our own zone positionally is still pretty solid but open ice he gets smoked.

13 GA the last three games isn't better.

how long did the flyer “rebuild” take?
I hope ba is taking notes

#8 was a double minor

 

[LittlePipes]

From the little I've heard Dumba talk to teammates and press, he seems like a pretty good guy. That is definitely a plus. If they could get him to play more of a strict stay at home game, maybe he has a place with the Yotes? Something to minimize his lack of quick feet in the open ice.

 

[Coyotedroppings]

13 GA the last three games isn't better.

Over that time period (small sample by the way):
Dumba LV +1 NSH 0 PHIL -1
Hayton LV 0 NSH 0 PHIL -1

Before you knock Hayton.....
Cooley LV 0 NSH 0 PHIL -2
Guenther LV 0 NSH +1 PHIL -1

Yeah, it's +/-, but I loved it as a player, keeping myself accountable. I will say that there was a goal vs Nashville ( IIRC ) that I could put on Hayton.

The worst during this time frame were:
Crouse PHIL -3
Durzi LV -2
Moser LV -2

Cooley merits more negative love for randomly dropping his stick, leading to one of the goals.

Negative love

The problem was, that he insisted on picking up his stick.... misread the immediate need for defense, or has been listening to Nash LOL.

Double dose of negative love if he ever listens to Nash.
