they have a team light schedule coming up as well. peeps gong to be peacocking around. cant wait to see it.
I’ve always been a Tocchet fan, as a player and a coach, obviously I don’t know him as a person, so if he has them overachieving by Christmas. You’d better believe I’m gonna be strutting around…LOL!
great player. bland boring coach with a losing record.
what’s his track record with russian players?
they do not have 2 of their top 4 dman out. Risto being a top 4 on this team does not equate to him being a legit top 4 league wide. he isn’t.
what happens when the goalies regresses back his mean?
Doesn’t matter. He’ll help

team when he’s back in the lineup.
Ersson isn’t the co-number one any more. Vladar has won the job. The Flyers will remain much better in front of him than CGY was. That’s a team that is bottoming out. You shouldn’t overestimate the bulk of the league.

erson was never a co-number one IMO. he was by default. well, calgary was good last year defensively. better than the flyers. the havent been that good as he has bailed them out. nothing in vladers past suggest he will continue to post .93 save percentage.
you shouldn’t overestimate the flyers players. cant wait until april.

If the Flyers start scoring more, Vladar won’t need to.
The Flyers have had a few guys look like their overachieving. I certainly don’t know they haven’t found a higher level. That’s why you keep playing games.

Given the circumstances of the situations he’s agreed to step into, coaching wise, I think he’s done ok. Players seemingly love to play for him. Like most things in life, I’m sure he’s a better coach today than he was when he first started, that’s just a natural evolution for a person and a coach.
I still maintain, the absence of Tortorella has a lot to do with the uptick in the players GAF, and you’re seeing that in their play.

Whatever works. Taco deserves some credit. They look like a cohesive team most of the time. The extended in game stretches where they strung multiple bad shifts together have been few.

i don’t see much diff in their play compared to torts. with the exception of the focus not being on blocking shots. as well as better goaltending.
whats with “taco”?

Puck support is generally much better in their own end. That’s the difference between Torts’ antiquated madness and Taco’s Box +1 system. They’re also scoring a bit more and I think there’s more of that on the way.
I think it’s funny. Hockey is entertainment.
I would still hope to see a line of Foerster-Zegras-Michkov some time this season. The current lines are not Cup contender worthy. Not a surprise, so it would be nice to look at lines that have a decent shot at being here long-term. Glad to see Tippett is off to a great start, his limited no trade clause kicks in next season. At this point, good chance Martone will make the roster out of training camp next season, I hope the plan is not to make him earn it by starting on the 4th line.
Flyers players seem to grasp their responsibilities in the box + 1 zone coverage system Tocchet favors.
Having watched more FLA games since April than Flyers games, I can tell you they’re generally playing the system pretty well. Not as good as Finals Florida, but pretty well. The system sort of builds in good puck support as a feature, something that was sorely lacking a lot last year. This year, I only saw it really fall apart against WPG in the 2nd period. They were a bad team with some good players last year. This year, they still have good players and they’re rounding into a good team.
From kurz today:
Still, Michkov’s start was concerning. He simply didn’t arrive in camp in good enough shape, something that Tocchet has overtly suggested a few times. Perhaps that was partly because of the ankle injury that was conveniently revealed earlier this month after the season began, but Tocchet has also indicated that Michkov will have to do a better job of taking care of himself off the ice as he moves along in his career.
“He’s (20) years old. It’s about what am I eating? How is he recovering?” Tocchet said on Oct. 15. “When you have a young player, you almost have to tell them sometimes, you’ve got to recover here. What are you eating after games? Things like that. I think that will help him in the long run. … We have to teach him certain things like that.”
— is the smear campaign starting?

Michkov looks fat and out of shape, I think an intervention is warranted. 🙂
