revise this discussion at the Olympic break. way too early to make any conclusions.
what happens when the goalie reverts back to his career numbers? or even a small uptick.
Agree, it’s way too early, however, there is enough there to make me say….hmmmm???
I think they’ve been interesting all along. You could see it coming if you knew what you were looking at.
They are anything but interesting, they’re a lunch bucket group who need to have extremely strong goaltending and strong, strong, systems play to have any success. They do seem quicker from what I saw last night though, maybe that’s just a figment of my imagination. I think, for whatever that’s worth, the absence of Tortorella is a big contributing factor.
Lineup updates for #SEAvsPHI:
• Dan Vladar gets the start in net.
• Forwards Nikita Grebenkin and Jett Luchanko slot back into the lineup.
• Rodrigo Abols and Nick Deslauriers come out.Just stick with the process, if there is one? This team needs a few more bottom of the league finishes to acquire some actual top line talent, specifically at center. Couturier may become a good trade chip come Dec/Jan, if that’s something he’s willing to entertain.
Another strong performance by the mighty Flyers, limited a strong Wild team to just 16 shots against, that’s great systems play and “coaching101” right there! 🙂
not by design though. shear incompetence. thats the scary part once again
The how isn’t important right now, what matters is that they finish low, which they appear to be trending towards. Although it’s a small sample size. In four or five years when things start to turn around there’ll probably be different people in charge. Don’t get caught up in the small stuff, poor management, just be glad they finish at or near the bottom of the league.
Looks like we’re right on track to finish near the bottom of the league and get those coveted high picks. The teams that get those picks are the teams that have success and win Championships.
did hiring torts set this franchise back? yes or no.
No, but he didn’t progress it either. Poor ownership, management, decision making and drafting set the franchise back. It’s going to take a few more years to climb out of it too!
Zito putting it all together for the Panthers doesn’t diminish that the team was built around those 2 anchors and it took many years after they were drafted to get where they are. The Flyers haven’t even drafted those players. The clock hasn’t even started on an actual rebuild.
It certainly could happen that the Flyers miss the playoffs again this year, they win the lottery and draft McKenna or finish badly enough to pull a rabbit out of a hat with another 13th or higher pick. We went through all the recent Cup winners, and while they’ve all built their teams a bit differently, they were all built solidly, deep, good sized and a bit nasty.
flyers will easily 99.9% miss the playoffs. flyers have nothing in common with the any recent cup winners.
flyers strategy is completely flawed on how to build a team.
I hope they miss the playoffs for the next three years, and continue to sell off players to acquire picks at the deadline, that’s how you rebuild through the draft. You lose, a lot! San Jose is gonna be an absolute wagon of a team, they’re losing a lot, but drafting really well…be the Sharks!!
