Offensive creativity in the offensive zone is not systems play. All you have to do is watch them play to know that their basic systems play has not changed. No doubt that Knoblauch who was hired to coach the forwards and offensive play has added some wrinkles, that's obvious especially on the PP. A large part of the offense that they've generated has come from the top line with the offensive creativity of Giroux and Voracek while Couturier simply heads to the net. That's basic hockey. The bottom line is that your assertion last season that Hakstol offensive game plan centered around taking low percentage point shots was absurd. The Flyers playing the same system are now generating more offensively playing in the same system.

Bill said it best when he stated in a couple of years we're going to be shaking our head that manning got in these games while sanheim remained scratched
- Just5


Not really. Sanheim will be infinitely better in a couple of years than he is now.

While I'm not disagreeing, surprisingly, the CF% at 5v5 for those 3 are 45ish, 45ish and 50.

Just something that makes you go hmmm. Clearly, they've had quite a nice game tonight generating good chances. Putting the eye test with the numbers, it seems like they've generated a handful of high danger chances but then are a touch on their heels. Certainly not complaining.

Pretty interesting numbers tonight.

Don't even have to look at the numbers to have an idea of what they are.

Your new found interest in analytics is interesting though.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not out here saying the Flyers are playing poorly, just saying it's "one of those games" in my eyes where, if I was a Panthers fan, I'd be looking back saying how the hell is this 4-0 right now with how we're playing.

Loving the Flyers speed. That Weal and Konecny man- seems like every game they make you say sweet.

- Giroux_Is_God


I'll say it. The Flyers have finished their chances and battled and remained competitive but overall they've played poorly.

I'm trying to be open minded. Something you have no clue about, and it's apparent with each post you write.

No they don't. Numbers need analysis. Why are the numbers the way they are.

You're entitled to your opinion but you're dead wrong. A simple example is how I look at Hakstol's lineup decisions. I may not agree with it but I'm open minded enough to consider what his reasoning is.
