I'm always late, but re: Sockeyes, I can only ever think of

.

Have to think Sockeye is the leader at this point. Didn't they indirectly reveal their main color to be red? Red-green as a scheme, perhaps with some grey or silver, matches how sockeyes look when horny:

If Q is so great, how come Chicago was as bad last year as the Flyers this year (76 points)?
It's not like they didn't have similar talent to the Flyers (Kane, Toews, DeBrincat, Schmaltz, Saad, Keith).
Oh, Crawford got hurt and they went through 5 goalies?

I think Q’s a good coach & I’d take him here, but he wouldn’t solve this team’s problems any more than he solved Chicago’s problems last season & earlier this season.

But people are still clinging to the notion that coaching is at the top of the list of reasons for the Flyers’ woes.

That doesn’t mean I don’t want a new coach; I’d probably target Sheldon Keefe in the off-season because this is going to be a young team.

Portzline randomly having a Flyers source now would be odd.

The Islanders are much better this year because losing Tavares for nothing actually improved their roster. Certainly has nothing to do with adding one of the league's best coaches.

This proves that players don't matter.

I'd take him. I still think Q and his experience is what this team needs but as far as up and comers go, he's at the top.

Did he say something about Philly?

Might have something to do with the previous coach being a Gordon disciple.
And adding Lehner.

While the previous scheme hurt the goalies, (Halak - .908 was the lowest of his career, other than an injury season at 27), I don't think changing coaches explains all of Greiss going from .892 to .914, while Lehner is putting up a .927 S%.
With a PDO of 101.7, regression to the mean the second half is likely.
Both their PP and PK are ranked 25th in the league.
The difference this year is EV defense, and that's both coaching and goaltending.

But how can you take seriously a coach who plays Filppula (and his 43.5 Corsi and E +/- -7.1) and Komarov 14 minutes a night.

Has no choice.

That excuse didn't fly here.

Look at this great offer from a Jets fan:

In the off season id prob consider Trouba for Sanheim plus 1st and an add like Myers

Jesus f***ing Christ.

If they are red and named Sockeyes, they should already move the team elsewhere.

Seattle is f***ing green/emerald god damn it.

Minnesota just pulled off the greatest Hakshell performance of all time....

Up 3-1 going into the third period, didn't record a single shot in the 3rd and held on to win 3-2

 

[BernieParent]

I just ... I mean ... meant it was so short, not that ... that ... darn.

I would like to qualify my 'like' as being for the sock puppet and not the illustration of fish promiscuity.

Senators up 3-1 on Kings about 4 minutes into the 3rd. The Flyers could be back to 30th.
