mkscrewy Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 well there's one guy who doesn't dig it, but he's up in the stands the past few games. some of the others seem to say "oh the crease? by all means, sir... wack our goalie 5 seconds after the whistle? well i may skate next to you, but nothing's really going to happen." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howie58 Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 After watching highlights from the game last night, I'd say we send invitations to skate in, around, and through the crease with almost no opposition. It is a trademark of this year's team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynxrattle Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Just popping in as an outsider. I'd say that's spot on from what I've seen from the Flyers this season. It's really horrendous how freely the opposition moves in the crease area. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GratefulFlyers Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 2 goals last night 2 different Flyers actually moved away from the Ranger attacking the net with the puck. WTF? First Gost then awhile later Myers...they just backed off and let the guy score unmolested. No mystery why the Flyers are last (or 2nd to last) in the NHL in Goals-Against and PK%. But the Flyers are top 5 in FO%. ... for all the good it does them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have good face-off percentages...lousy PP, PK. The other contrast is with lousy SO percentage. That may speak to the type of players we draft and trade for. They have "High Hockey IQ" and "Good 200 Feet Play." Right, but they can't shoot worth poop or clear our porch or yes, control the neutral zone. I guess they win faceoffs but their teammates can't do anything from there. It is a troubling stat. I hope CF and the gang take note. It may be even worse than our tendency to outshoot but frequently underscore the opposition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GratefulFlyers Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Actually it is nice to have a couple great FO guys...Giroux, Couturier are always near the top of the league I believe. And some of the credit goes partly to the rest of the skaters. The PP IIRC has been pretty good over the years, something like 20% on average. The PK is another story. I don't recall the Flyers ever having a reliable PK. I'm guessing it's been below middle-of-the-pack for many years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd want that Motel 6 to be turned into a Holiday Inn so people can smarten up a bit more on that team.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GratefulFlyers Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Last night on the 2 good shifts at the end I saw Myers battling in the crease, shoving Devils out of the way, holding his ground...and I thought "WTF is he doing? He knows he's not allowed to do that." It really was remarkable watching him play good D there for a minute. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this a move towards looking into this?? Who sits??? Myers again?? Or Big Sam?? AV confirms that Egor Zamula will make his NHL debut, alongside Travis Sanheim.
