      In last 11, Flyers are 7-3-1. .682 hockey. That continued pace will get them to 96 points, maybe enough to make the playoffs.

      The Flyers are one of the worst teams in the league only being kept on life support due to playing to get to the shoot out every game. They lead the league in number of shoot outs and shoot out wins. 2 things which will not happen in the playoffs. They play boring low event hockey (that can’t be questioned because Tocchet is god apparently).

      SOW..SOL…G…..GA….DIFF..PP%…PK%…S/GP..S%…SA/GP..SV%
      1st..20th..26th..15th..20th..32nd..21st..30th..17th..29th..25th

      Other than Vladar’s numbers, everything across the board is worse than last year but a segment of the fan base wants to stick their fingers in their ears because the Flyers aren’t eliminated yet. Another game where the Flyers didn’t deserve to make it to the shoot out. What is it now, 3 goal in 23 OT? None of them scored by Konecny, Tippet, Zegras, risto, drysdale.

      How do you fall to 30th in SOG (29th in Shots against) and think the team is headed in the right direction?

      Because last year this team had 76 points, this year they’re on pace for 92. Sixteen point improvement. Last year they gave up 286 goals, 3.49 per game. this year 3.01. About a half goal a game. This is not complicated when you understand grade school math.

      I know you are smarter than your posts make you sound and you just like to shit post but let’s go ahead.

      Your analysis ends in grade school and anyone who completed above elementary would understand the fallacy. 2 years ago the Flyers were on pace on pace for 92 points after 72 games before collapsing down the stretch, which was an improvement over the 75 point finish the year before. Sound familiar? Yet they finished with 87 and went right back to mid 70s this past year. Why?

      Winning in unsustainable ways. Sure for the short term you can get lucky and have the illusion of progress. Puck luck and things break your way or in the case this year of a hot goalie. Those things pale long term over a well built team with talent and coaching. The underlying math (the stuff you find beyond grade school) shows that the Flyers aren’t built or building for the long term. Winning a few more games because Vladar is standing on his head doesn’t mean the forwards, defense, or coaching have improved.

      Goals for is worse, PP is back down to 32nd, Shots dropped several spots to 30th, PK is worse, etc.

      The team is unwatchable at times with the slow grinding play but hey as long as Vladar stops 30 SOG a game in a year that should focus on rebuilding for the long term all is good? No. That’s the same shit different year.

      The underlying numbers are more important than the topline numbers to the team’s health long term. The team’s future is on life support.

      The Flyers rebuild was always a lie. Rather than draft elite talent they wanted to buy it and then were shocked, absolutely shocked, that they can’t.

      The Flyers gambled that the casual fan wouldn’t look behind the curtain and keep supporting them. You are proof of how gullible Flyers fans can be as long as you give them a show.

      The 87 points in 23-24 was a mirage. Also, who gives a shit? Feel free to live in the past. Are you predicting they’re going back to the mid-70s in points next year? They were a bad team last year with some good players and they’re a better team this year with some good players plus three upgrades. Overcomplicating things like a delusional mental patient is not good analysis.

      being propped up by a goalie having a career year. this is the only reason for the “improvement”. Sad gullible flyers fans like yourself are s blind and eat up the flyers propaganda.

      love pace. Let me know what the finish with. This team has bigger holes than your wife’s gap. Peeps thinking this team is headed in the right direction is pure entertainment./

      what is their winning %? you haven’t posted that in months

      what has danny done to give you any confidence this team will get to the path of cup contention?

      Big improvement over last year, good young pieces that will play here next year (Martone, Jiricek), a new 2G. A good unforeseen trade or UFA signing would add to that. The three top acquisitions last season are having career years. This is not complicated.

      “big” I tell yay

      Improvement over a year ago is because of the goalie (one who has put up his career averages the last 15 games save % wise). What is it you say, it’s not complicated. This said improvement is not really any real improvement that is going to make any diff going forward.

      You really buy into the flyers bullshit. 3 new pieces having career years and the flyers still on the outside looking in. All 3 new pieces have come back down to earth by the way. I am sure they will continue their trajectory upwards. Never mind the regression of the internal pieces.

      Let me know when David is playing every game next year on the blue line. Dumb dumb danny has had 3 years to get a better goalie than Sam. He hasn’t. Sam will be back if danny has a say, it will depend on what Tocchet wants.

      On the outside looking in? Barely. Looking back on the season, a lot of points and games pissed away. A 1-3 record against the last in the conference Rags? Terrible. The 2-8-4 stretch killed their season. Ersson decided to regress this year. You can’t say they didn’t give him a fair shot. It’s a lock they’ll upgrade the 2G slot. They can’t do worse.

      are they on the outside looking in? yes or no?

      They are in a playoff race. They need to gain ground fast.

      What excuses? Said before the season I expected improvement and they might make the playoffs if they got some breaks. They’d be in a playoff spot right now if they were in the west. They have a better win pct. than SEA and Utah.
