No.

The chart is for 5v5. It shows that the Flyers shot rate is significantly less than league average from in close (blue) while significantly more from the perimeter (red).

Wouldn't be the first time on here I was told I didn't know how to understand shot statistics...

One week away! Get your asking prices ready Hextall!

So the Jets say that Laine set their rookie goal scoring record last night.

I know where they're coming from but it seems contrived and wrong to me.

haha, took me a minute to figure out how he had 77 goals.

Haven't we proven time and again that fancy things are not for this board?

These get the deal done, settle for less in the last 3 hours of TDL day.

Streit-2nd
Neuvirth or Mason-2nd
Bellemare-3rd
MDZ-3rd
Schultz-5th
Vandevelde-5th

Willing to listen on non UFAs but not selling anyone off so can't have a price in mind.

Odd how the Flyers managed to make the playoffs so often with back to back bad GMs.

Clarke's teams only went to the finals an average of once every four years over a couple decades.

Bellemare deal. Act now and get Matt Read for free!

I was referring to the 1994-2014 period.

Clarke:
1 Stanley Cup Finals appearance (1997)
1 conference title, 5 division titles, and 11 playoff appearances

Holmgren:
1 Stanley Cup Finals appearance (2010)
1 conference title, 1 division title, and 6 playoff appearances

Some good points. I just don't buy that the whole team is slumping at once at 5v5. There's a lot more talent on this roster than some believe.

The Flyers expected fenwick shooting percentage is 3rd from last in the NHL, so is it really that surprising when their actual shooting percentage is also 3rd from last?

The Flyers also have the farthest average shot distance in the entire NHL.

Combine this with their shot chart:



Just screams systems issue to me.

and what do you see?

In all honesty what moves were out there to make?

He was able to move the Lecavalier contract. He got out from the Pronger deal. Their really weren't any free agents, top end types, that he should have went after.

He's being patient until it's time not to be patient.

I think you put that perfectly and what I think a lot of fans are missing. Now is not that time.

Im guessing those Selanne stats fall under the purview of the Coyotes organization?

A headache

He has so little to work with, I almost feel bad for Hak

Looking objectively:
Vandevelde is a borderline 4th liner
PEB, Lyubimov are average 4th line players.
Raffl and Weise might be signed to 3rd line contracts, but they are playing like 4th liners.
Cousins hustles and draws penalties, but he is a 3rd line player at best.
Read is barely a 3rd liner at this point.

That leaves all of 5 forwards
Simmonds is great on the pp and brings toughness which this team sorely lacks, but at ES, he is a 2nd line guy at best
Schenn is great on the pp, but just flat out bad at ES, he really should be on the 3rd line.
Couturier is an ok 2nd line center who is never going to be a big scorer

and now we are down to 2:
Giroux is a mess right now, hell he's even somewhat struggling on the pp. The way he is playing right now, he has no business playing in the top 6 at ES

Jake is pretty much it for a legit threat at ES, if you shut him down, they aren't going score except on the pp.

Now add that to a D where your top guy just turned 20 and goalies who have been woefully inconsistent and I'm not sure what Hak can really do.

I don't like some of Hak's line combos and certainly often disagree with his lineups, but at the end of the day, I really can't judge him as a head coach. He just doesn't have enough talent to work with.
- BiggE

This is an excellent post overall. You didn't mention Kony, but I see him eventually as second line talent. Right now maybe he's third.

Regardless, you are spot on WRT the forwards. We basically have 5 or 6 guys that are truly top 9 but who are underperforming. Surround them with 6 more guys who are 4th liners and this is the type or scoring you get (or don't get).

We are old...
