So... Let's talk Konecny

[Curufinwe]

Yeah, Laughton's on-ice results have not been as good as Simmonds.

Lol at Weise being used on the PK over trying Lindblom.

 

[Lindberg]

Did you know you can actually go by on-ice GA rates instead of making stuff up?

I go by actually looking at his on ice play which isn't great.

I call BS because I can't think of a single time anyone has ever said Wayne didn't look good on the PK. He's been one of the team's most effective PK forwards whenever he's been used in that role.

Right.....

Right.....

For 2016-17 and 2017-18 Simmonds was the team's second-most effective forward at goal prevention on the PK, behind only Matt Read, who played many fewer games than Simmonds. His GAA on ice at 4v5 is significantly better than say, Sean Couturier.

That's Mr. Danger to you, @Striiker

Edit: Shit... Sort by HDCF%...

If you're using the numbers as a your arguing point and they said Simmonds is a better PKer than Couturier than the analysis of those statistics isn't very good.

Some day he'll wake up and realize he's being paid to shoot the puck, and that we already have Giroux on the roster.

 

[Prongo]

He isn’t really being paid too much to shoot the puck. Maybe that’s why he doesn’t do it as much as you like.

Maybe he should play his game. Every player can afford to shoot more usually but it’s about opportunity

 

[Striiker]

He's also still only playing 15min per game.

 

[Appleyard]

Some day he'll wake up and realize he's being paid to shoot the puck, and that we already have Giroux on the roster.

Tbf to him at 5v5 since he entered the NHL he has:

8.71 Shots/60 (1st on Flyers, Patrick is 2nd at 7.28)
14.34 iCorsi/60 (2nd on Flyers... to Gudas)

His SF/60 is in the ~86th centile amongst NHL forwards.
His iCF/60 is in the ~80th centile amongst NHL forwards.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Lol.

 

[Prongo]

Hahahaha

 

[deadhead]

He's the only forward on this team with a plus shot other than Giroux, and Giroux is the best passer on the team.
Laughton can shoot at times, but not consistently, Voracek takes the shotgun approach (shots scattered across the target), Simmonds is close in, JVR has yet to show sniper skills, and the rest ???

TK simply isn't greedy enough, someone has to tell him goals = More Money.

 

[Prongo]

I mean you just got stats to prove he shoots but you still continue with your bullshit. You’re one of a kind.

 

[deadhead]

He shoots, but can shoot more, do you watch the games?
TK is too unselfish, he passes up good shots to make tough passes through traffic.
It's rare that you want a player to be selfish, but in this case it's for the good of the team.

Lol yes I watch the games smart ass but do you just cherry pick whatever the hell you want to try to make a sound argument. It’s not working. You were proven wrong, just say you were wrong and move the f*** on. You continue to just bury yourself

That’s some good shit

 

[deadhead]

Reminder of the Konecny delusions:

So? TK wasn't a very good player at the time, out of control, cherry picking.
Playing in a checking role helped his game, he became more of a complete player.

Nor did he suddenly become a 1st line caliber player playing with Couts and G, he had an unsustainable 18% SH% the second half and was still inconsistent defensively and tried too many risky cross ice passes that were intercepted.

He's a much better player this year, forechecks more aggressively, backchecks more consistently, is more aware on the ice, picks his spots instead of forcing play.

Striiker thinks that scoring is all there is to playing forward, but what do you expect from a 12 year old?

 

[Appleyard]

 

[Striiker]

Boy oh boy does that make some posters look bad.

 

[Tripod]

Huh...who would have guessed.
