Raffl actually gets a lot of prime chances to score, problem is he is at about a 15% efficiency rate at finishing them.

Patrick can dish the puck. Lets give him the one guy who can't put the puck on net to save his life.

Neuvirth for not playing since Lincoln was President has looked good so far.

Perfect? That is a pretty strong word.

Someone needs to tell Lehtera to take his skate guards off.

Barzal knee injury. Someone hold me

For now, he is. Ideally he have even better wingers but I don't really think he's ready for that role yet.

training wheels wingers?

Feels totally like a trap game. Definitely not the same intensity and determination as yesterday.

Did TG in the lineup?

He's in the lineup again. 4th line.

Those early penalties really threw off whatever pace the Flyers were planning to come out with. Need to treat this period like a whole new game.

I basically agree with everything you've mentioned minus your assessment of provorov. He's a hard player to gauge due to him spending so much time on the top pair with a 6/7 defenseman. Personally I'd say he's a #1 and a top-40 D in the league which is crazy for his age. My reasoning for this is when I last looked into his micro stats, thy were off the charts like tops in the league. My eye test aligns with this.

Hak pisses me off to no end. Like you've said he isn't good at developing young players, and if he's trying to win in the short term, he's also doing a poor job. Continuing to play hagg and manning over sanheim is so mind blowing to me. The sanheim-gudas pairing was like top 5 in the Nhl in 5v5 cf% and xgf% albeit against lesser competition. But hey let's treat hagg and the 2nd coming of Jesus cause of percentages and his safe play. But what should we expect, of the young D, he's most like amac lol.

PP2 assignments are infuriating as well but that may most likely be on knoblauch

Imo there are a handful of great coachs, a handful of terrible coaches, and the middle 20 just your run of the mill coaches I'm the Nhl. Hak is in the handful of terrible coaches. And recently he has shown to value results over process with raffl being an exception.

MacDonald is a legitimate top 4 NHL defenseman, not a 6/7. Both Hagg and Manning right now are better players than Sanheim is. I agree that Sanheim needs to play. Coaching is a results oriented business.

So much for that.

Lazy penalty by Amac. He is nothing but a bottom pairing D man.

Nice passing and goal by Ghost

Ghost totally has not progressed

Lehtera just got his second point of the year...He is on fire!

Big ol doinks

Lol. Just agree to disagree

I guess Raffl got taken off the Patrick line.

I laughed pretty hard as well also, but just easier to not initiate.

Couts is on fire!!!!

Freaking G and Coots...Ridiculous this season..

He's gone beast mode.
