Hear me out now, we started out strong then 10 games in after playing teams a couple times the other teams changed their style to adjust to beat AV's style of play. Just look at the puck possession in the games we lost. pretty mush getting out shot every game. AV never adjusted the playing style of this team. It all goes back to the playoff bubble year. Played real well until we started playing the same team over and over in a series. Other coaches learn what it takes to beat us and adjust their teams play to achieve that AV and his coaching minions never changed a thing, That is why we start hot then it seems like a switch is flipped and we get ice cold. very plausible ...... not gonna argue you are right or wrong ..... There is a level of stink that goes well beyond AV. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GratefulFlyers Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 I don't know if "other team adjusted" explains it away - not this huge of a dropoff. Dare I say it's almost like the players wanted to get AV fired. Nah that would never happen... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know why any respectable candidate would take the job Fletch has his man in Yeo. He's successfully turned us into the Wild team every single Wild fan warned us about. Not since Kruschev usurped the line of power after Stalin's death has a plan been pulled off to such perfection. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dare I say it's almost like the players wanted to get AV fired. Nah that would never happen... I think that phrase gets tossed around to often when teams tank. I find it hard to believe that they all decided not to play hard just to get AV fired. They are payed to play at the top of their game and not playing hard can and will effect future contracts. Plus no one likes to lose and I'm sure this constant losing is weighing hard on the players also. Yes we are lacking talent in key areas, but when I watch the Flyers play I see a lack of a system. We are not an offensive first team and we are not a defensive first team. A lack of structure and sound game planning leads to players being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Howie58 Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 (edited) This is all too depressing when I need to get some work done. We've seen this crap too often. You could be proud of the SCF bunch in '10. They were outclassed but they fought. The Calder Cup nucleus didn't survive to be Cup competitive for 3-5 years. Holding our Captain out, it was gone pretty quickly. Since then--twists, turns, Bryz...a few glimmers of hope, but mostly circular mediocrity. Current management doesn't seem to get the New NHL. It never will. As I said last night, bring in Punch Imlach, Fog....probably won't matter. This outfit will draft and trade for mucker grinders with high hockey IQ......and the usual results. Another thought from last night: Leslie Groves as GM. For a chuckle: Thank God Groves had his hand on designing and building the Pentagon. Without that, 9-11 would have been much worse. We need someone like him to get us out of the morass. Edited December 6, 2021 by Howie58 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again I'm not convinced that this team doesn't have the talent to be competitive if put in the right system. Not enough to be cup contenders but game in and game out, yes I believe they can be. But till the top is removed it will be status quo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without coordinated attacks and defensive postures the players were left wingin' it. After loss after loss you just sick of it and so - professional contracts notwithstanding - you no longer play hard, you don't fight to win your shifts - you go through the motions but your heart's not in it. That's a recipe for more losing. I shouldn't have said the players tried to get AV fired, as if it was some decision they made. I meant the way they were playing was bound to get him fired.
