Post-Game Talk: rongos @ Flyers

Ryan Strome Analytics Darling is my favorite lowkey subplot this year

What analytics heavy team can we sell him to ?

 

[Brother Mouzone]

Was overjoyed that Kreider showed up .............

Quinn though ..

 

[Machinehead]

Hopefully Kreider can get going.

Shesty with a "good" game even though he let up 4. Lots of breakaway saves.

The team showed some spark. Good on Fox showing some snarl when Lindgren got run.

Kreider was actually on pace for 25 goals before tonight. He hasn't been bad at all.

 

[JohnC]

Can’t win em all! Regroup for the next one!

Can I get the TOI for Jonny Brodzinski and an explanation for why the number was >0?

 

[Synergy27]

This d is a mess without Trouba and Miller in the top 4. The positives from tonight are Kreider and Zibanejad playing well and our PP connecting a couple times.

I wasn’t prepared for Miller to be out tonight. What happened to him? Did he reaggrevate his first injury?

 

[Machinehead]

What analytics heavy team can we sell him to ?

Nah, analytics heavy teams will recognize that he's never played defense or thrown a hit in his life.

We should trade him to a dumbass team that just looks at points like Anaheim or something.

 

[MysticLeviathan]

and Chytil....


and Panarin

chytil is gonna be at least a week and who knows how long it’ll take for him to derust.

panarin I heard would be a couple weeks, but not totally sure.

 

[Machinehead]

I think it's hilarious that we won the xG battle. AV is so f***ing terrible.

 

[NoQuitInNewMexico]

Right now there's some random winger, just doing his job for some random NHL team, and he has no idea some madmen are going to make him play in Seattle on the line with two Stromes

 

[Zibanejbread]

All things considered, I'm not fully disappointed in the game. Just felt like a winnable one.

 

[NYRKING30]

Kreider x2
Mika
Igor

Same story with the Kreider whining as it’s been since 2016. He does all the little things right and plays an extremely sound game, but because he’s big and fast people think he’s a floater because he’s doesn’t play a balls to the wall type of game. It’s only his D+11 season, he’ll be Cam Neely before long!

Covid

 

[TheBloodyNine]

Quinnnnnnn Sucks

 

[bbny]

fox is an absolute joy to watch. if only he could score.

Too bad DeAngelo didn't leave behind his shooting skills for Fox to have.

 

[Synergy27]

Covid

Ah, thanks. Good news honestly.

 

[Riche16]

It’s funny that when we are depleted and should get beat... we get beat.

We play other teams and they’re misin 6-7 starters and we still get beat.

That’s funny! Isn’t it? Huh????

 

[Tob]

Which 1? The first or the 2nd?

I've never seen anything like it.

We've had the 6 on 5 too many men
We've had the 7 on 5 too many men
We've also had the 2 on 5 too few men

Not being able to figure out how to manage changes in his 3rd year is just stupid.

Keith Jones peddling the "if he was like this every night" shit doesn't help.

Yeah, Keith, every player is Connor McDavid smack dab in the middle of their best game of the season. And if you did your best game of the season every night you'd go 164-110-274, it's that easy!

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Can we move Hajek or Biteto out of the lineup next game and get a look at Tarmo please?

I’m not asking for much Jeff

 

[Machinehead]

Lafreniere tailed off for a little while but tonight he was back to "well, he had moments" which is good.

And we know the rest of the story.

 

[zlev]

Laf's best shift was when he was on the ice with a different line after a penalty. He looked lost with Mika and Buch for whatever reeason.

Still asking too much

Probably didn't help that Buchnevich spent the whole night flinging backhand passes to nobody and taking bets on where they would land

It’s fun. Never in his hockey career since being drafted has Chris Kreider shown anything that would make people consider him a superstar, and yet here HF is 11(!) years after he was drafted, surprised that he’s not a superstar.

He is what he is. A very effective player that plays the boards well, can play the cycle well, is incredibly athletic, but just straight up does not have the hands necessary to make him a point producing superstar.
