Beef was here.

What about pork?

So I brought up Appleyard's Kopitar point about +/- on the Facebook group. Crickets.

However, I did say "I want to know what these stats mean" in reference to what I posted, to which someone replied "usually you get a - when you're on the ice for a goal against."

Oh

 

[Chinatown88]

No way you do?

You'll end up in an asylum if you keep reading Facebook posts about the Flyers.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Weird, basically no one talks about the Flyers on my FB. Probably because I don't even have certain Flyers/sports oriented pages on FB liked. Hell, the most vocal person is probably a Phillies/Eagles guy and the other is a Pittsburgh fan through and through.

 

[Karma]

I remember sometimes checking a Flyers FB page back around 2010 before I found HF. That place was terrible. All kinds of troll posts from fans of other teams and what not.

 

[ILoveStephanieBrown]

Anyone remember Ed Webb? He had to be one of the biggest trolls on the Flyers page I have ever seen. Big fat old guy who looks like he's restricted to a chair. Wonder if he's even still alive...

 

[OzFlyers]

Just too a peak at the FB page. They are stripping G of the C now!

That's the post I'm arguing on.

My Kopitar post with Appleyard's info garnered the response of "The Kings were terrible when he was a -, they hired Sutter and now he's good."

That's why Kopitar is a plus player now. But the same logic doesn't apply to why Giroux isn't a +91

 

[Appleyard]

Stamkos probably should not be in the NHL then... -1 over his career.

JVR: -4.
E. Kane: -9.
O'Reilly: -11.
Hall: -25.
Eberle: -25.
Doan: -27.
Nash: -42.
E. Staal: -43.
Tavares: -44.
Kessel: -44.
Okposo: -49.

Bums... all of them.

Giroux is +21.

2013-14: Giroux on ice for 118 Goals for. 3rd amongst forwards in NHL. On ice for 75 against.
2012-13: Giroux on ice for 68 Goals for. 9th amongst forwards in NHL. On ice for 50 against.
2011-12: Giroux on ice for 110 Goals for. 7th amongst forwards in NHL. On ice for 80 against.

So in the last 3 years:

On ice for 296 goals for. On ice for 205 against.

Could have stopped just about there.

 

[Sombastate]

guys, Maatta would have been awesome

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Varlamov was placed on IR. Now Berra just left the game hurt 3 minutes in.

Dupuis just took a puck to the back of the neck while he was down on the ice. ImmobilIzed and carried off on a stretcher. Looked like he was in a lot of distress. You could see him moving his fingers around while he was on the ice on his back. Pretty scary, hope he's ok.

 

[Appleyard]

Gosh I wish we would have traded for Burns... I remember we were apparently in the mix when he was traded... and there was talk the Flyers were looking at him in 2013.

Guy is a monster. Him and Coburn would have been a great pairing. And a lot of fun to watch.

Though it would likely have centred around JVR +. And he was a far bigger risk back then due to the injuries he was coming off.

Grabo got caught standing on the train tracks. John Scott having a career week here.

 

[GapToothedWonder]

Weird to watch a hit that hard that doesn't result in a fight.

 

[Sombastate]

Grabo got caught standing on the train tracks. John Scott having a career week here.

Holy mother of God, he was CRUSHED.

Beautiful.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Pascal Dupuis had a weird incident tonight. Goligoski knocked him down in front of the Dallas net and a Letang shot hit him on what looked like his neck.

He had to be removed via stretcher.

 

[Sombastate]

The call in the Pittsburgh game is embarrassing.

 

[OrangeAndBlackMetal]

HAHAHAHA **** you pens.
