Zibanejad the Mayor of Philadelphia. 6+6 in 2 games, double natural hattricks.

[Nikolajs Sillers]

Someone needs to do Wikipage about who owns Flyers.

 

[Chimpradamus]

The Rangers fell apart defensively under late-stage Vigneault. I believe the Canucks also fell apart defensively under late-stage Vigneault.

Correct. When all remnants of the old coaching system are gone and the team goes full AV, the defense transforms into a kindergarden.

 

[Fataldogg]

How many more games does he have against the Flyers this year?

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

This is amazing to witness;

Z-Bad has 14 points from 30 games.

You take these 2 philly games and that becomes 26 points from 32.

I’m not really sure how to interpret this for Z-Bad as a whole; is Z-Bad having a good season (30GP - 14pts) or is Z-Bad having a really good season (32 / 26).

Those were his two best games of the season, by far, but it's not like most good players don't have a 4 or 5 point game during the course of a season as their best game. Some might even have two or three games like that. His stats don't tell the story because he was terrible to start the season, and is playing much better now, so while those two games against one team might suggest he's only played well against one team, his form has been great the last few weeks. It just so happened that his best games during that stretch were against the Flyers. It probably doesn't hurt that the Flyers have some of the worst defense/goaltending in the league.

 

[Beukeboom Fan]

The entire team has been a mess since COVID. Something happened during this whether is was behind the scenes or something. The team doesn't act like they have a clue on what to do out there.

I can't remember a team that had that little push back after an embarassing loss. There's something seriously wrong within that locker-room right now.

 

[bdub24]

Was wondering how long the karma from the Weber offer sheet move would take to show up.

 

[Beukeboom Fan]

Anyone remember the epic "Post a picture of the Flyers season" thread from when they melted down a long time ago. That was just an EPIC thread. I went to their board expecting it to be resurrected, but no joy.

Yeah, Voracek is too busy calling out HF posters.

 

[Embryo]

Let's not forget about Buchnevich who leads the team with 31 points in 31 games and is a +11

 

[SwedishFire]

Okay? Haha. Eakins coached McDavid in the NHL. I wouldn't call that a criteria.

No he didnt

 

[YippieKaey]

Must be his all time record 3+3!! thats amazing from this swedish finnish man!

Swedish finnish iranian even

For sure the best hockey player Iran has ever seen.

 

[Necrobutcher]

My reaction when i think about this amazing player playing for team Sweden instead of Finland.

 

[Aurinko]

Makes sense to pick him in fantasy draft, and sell ultra high right before next Philly game

 

[MrThomas]

Yeah true! Mom is finnish dad is from Iran but they are living in sweden

 

[Burkeocet]

What are the odds I pick up Zibanajad from free agency in fantasy hockey 2 weeks prior? Thanks Mika!!! Probably single handed got 2 wins for me and counting

 

[GKJ]

Goal today 11 minutes in

 

[Crease]

Against the Flyers again so more is coming.

 

[LokiDog]

Has anyone ever had a hat trick against the same team 3 games in a row?

 

[pbgoalie]

No he didnt

So
Eakins coaching helped lead the oilers to McDavid then?

 

[SwedishFire]

So

Yes! His suckiness makednthe greatest impa tvfor Oilers ever

 

[Confused Turnip]

Yeah, Voracek is too busy calling out HF posters.

As much as I enjoy it as a fan, as a co-worker I'd be really annoyed at Jake.

 

[ricky0034]

just one goal against them today? what a bust

 

[Phil McKraken]

Must be his all time record 3+3!! thats amazing from this swedish finnish man!

His mom comes from Finland but Zibanejad only comes from Sweden actually.

 

[Fatass]

His mom comes from Finland but Zibanejad only comes from Sweden actually.

He’s Swedish! I just assumed he was a Canadian kid. That’s kind of cool.

 

[TheKrebsCycle]

You assumed given the name that he was Canadian? Why?
