RonJeremy Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 I know we are outshooting the opposition by a wide margin so far this season but to be honest i didnt notice many quality shots in the last game or any second chances either . The game was a borefest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game was a borefest. The heat maps confirm your assessment. This is the same crap we've had the last two years. That it's happening with a new coach may tell us a lot about the human capital.

RonJeremy Posted October 21, 2019 Author Share Posted October 21, 2019 (edited) I still believe we have too many nice guys on this team. We dont have any big, skilled , hard nosed players who drive to the net and battle in front. The only prospect we have in that style is Allison. Do the Flyers have anyone on this team that other teams hate or hate to play against? I miss Hartnell.

radoran Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Nice piece. I've been pleasantly surprised with AV and his approach. It seems to be paying some dividends and hopefully is a solid investment in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game was a borefest. According to those that track such things, expected goals are significantly higher this year so far. Even JVR. One of the jokes after the Edmonton game was that JVR had more Expected Goals chances in that game than the entire oilers team (they scored more than they were expected to apparently).

The Phillies have a terrible staff. Through all the Harper anticipation, I kept thinking the same thing... who cares? who's going to pitch? If you'd asked me on day 1, I would have said I didn't think they'd make the playoffs. They started out okay, but the season turned on a dime when Cutch got hurt. Then Odubal got himself kicked off the team. Then they lost half the pitching they did have. It would have taken a lot more than Voodoo bamboo to save their season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm leaning more towards the individual skill instruction/training than cake to keep the Flyers moving forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing things the way they've always done them hasn't changed a blessed thing. I'm all for new ways of approaching how this team operates. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
