Did you notice who is screening the goalie on Coburn's shot then comes all the way back behind the goal line, makes the pass for the primary assist? Without our current captain, Richard's doesn't make that play. Just saying. Oh I saw, and did you noticed everyone but him skating real hard go get back except him was doing his casual Jake glide back before the Jack glide was even invented? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh you like you doing to Giroux now? I guess we'll always have "the shift" for Giroux. And at least Richie had a substance abuse issue which happens to alot of folks. What exactly is Giroux's excuse? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojo1917 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 @OccamsRazor Actually Giroux has been one of the best, most consistent players on this team this year. He's almost a point a game. He doesn't suck, he's not lazy. These takes saying as much are simply untrue. You may not like him, that's fine. He passes the eye test, his underlying stats are good. To say he's playing poorly is wrong. but but that play where he didn't stop the fastest guy in the league on a breakaway because he took himself out of the play and would never have caught him.... whatever.

There are some guys who could goon it up and drag their sacs around. Your buddy NAK could have 1000s of penalty minutes, Laughton wouldn't mind a little scuffle now and then, but playing 4 vs 5 isn't a guarantor of success in this league at the moment. Guys get fined and suspended for things that don't get called during the game. I think guys that have that mentality are drawn to MMA now. I also think team dynamics are a tricky thing. It's real easy to have a ****** room when there's a whole bunch of guys measuring their sticks constantly. There is a big difference between playing physical and "gooning it up". Anytime this discussion comes up, the goon is used to derail the discussion Watch that Richards clip. He was physical without drawing a penalty or dropping gloves. NAK and Laughton are supposed to be guys who can play that style but dont. Your argument suggests they cant do it without drawing a penalty. If thats true, then they aren't good at their job. I dont see either player do anything to energize a game with a hard shift or good hit, and neither has dropped his gloves. They are both players who are "good in their role" My last point is this...in the PO the Isles were physical and pushed the flyers all over the ice. They didnt goon it up. How is it they, and other teams, can olay physical, but the Flyers can't? Let me guess, its because the league has it out for the Flyers 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not entirely accurate and unfair. If they are playing less aggressive it's largely because they've been told to emphasize positioning which often comes at the expense of physical play.

If this is true, and god knows I have no reason to doubt you, then the lack of physical play is being mandated by the coach? I guess I still dont get it.
