Greetings:

 

I am posting this early due to travel.  Odds are hard to come by, but one sportsbook has a 71% win probability for LV:

This is a tough matchup and our matinee play isn't good.  We are on a 0 for 28 PP draught and a three-game win streak.  Strange.

0 for 28. Aye carumba I knew it was bad - I didn’t think it was that bad. Where is Joe Mullen these days? Somebody page him quick. Knoblauch, Therrien and now Rocky Thompson…all duds. Since Mullen left the Flyers’ PP has consistently sucked.
 

I see Provorov has 5 PP points (all assists) in Columbus. Gostisbehere has 6 in Detroit. Sometimes it is the coaches.

Sorry, it looks like Coots to his left. I think there's a 14 on his helmet. 

It definitely says 14, which is confusing me, because I'm not sure it's actually Coots.

I have no idea why professional hockey players forget how to play the power play on the NHL.

 

It's really weird.

 

Especially how often it happens - for over a decade - in Philadelphia.

 

Coaches. Players. Systems.

 

Doesn't seem to matter.

 

MOVE YOUR FEET AND MOVE THE GODDAMN PUCK

It basically is that simple. The Flyers don’t move their feet nearly enough to create lanes and gaps in the D. Of course first they have to figure out how to enter the zone with the puck, which is a separate issue that has been consistently terrible the past 3 or 4 years.
 

I know many fans hate the dump and chase but it’s a legit play on the PP and should work most of the time. Carolina does it, the Rangers too. Apparently Rocky doesn’t agree he persists with the shotgun/slingshot whatever it’s called and it’s not working.

My honest 2 cents is they actually should maybe send Brink or Forester up and recall Olle Lycksell.

 

Olle is on a tear down in the AHL on pace for 52 goals this season. Already had 10 goals in 14 games 12 points why wait?

 

I mean if they want to win and make the playoff like they claim send the young guys down to work on their game and confidence.

 

Let's see what Olle can do on the big team...i mean it is a rebuild and they have nothing to lose but to well lose...
