Doesn't even seem like he's getting a lot of chances.

Yup.

I fear he's quietly playing through an injury. Something is definitely off with him.

the rumor is it is supposedly coming. the thought of the impending loneliness must make some people's blood run cold.

VDV's been taking some of his shifts already, no?
- Tomahawk

That's just after a PK. I guess that's why VDV is so valuable. He can take shifts with the top line after Raffl does the hard work on the PK. What value!

That's one move by Berube I don't agree with. I understand coming right back with the Giroux line, but maybe double shift Simmonds, or someone else there.

No you didn't.

The funny thing is, I've checked 3 other stats sites and the numbers listed for the Flyers Corsi in those games don't match the numbers posted.

For instance, in the Tampa game, it says 38.78 % CF, but both http://war-on-ice.com/gam...seasongcode=2014201520142

and http://naturalstattrick.c...eason=20142015&game=20142

have it at around 48%

The Detroit game is curiously different as well http://naturalstattrick.c...eason=20142015&game=20111

Right there in black and white. We've had numerous Corsi discussions, and talked about issues such as score effects. Are you using 5 on 5 Corsi Close?

Some don't feel like their day is complete if they don't debate something to no end......right or wrong.

BTN says most frequent linemates were Simmer and Briere.
- Tomahawk


It's so hard right now to get a feel for what's wrong with Read -- is he simply expending so much energy each shift defensively, that's he just not getting to spots?

L3 has it tough, without a doubt. But my worry with Read is that he really doesn't seem to be locked into any particular aspect of the game offensively -- I don't really see him carrying the puck, setting anyone up, getting into positions to shoot...it's been tough watching it, because the only thing worse than not scoring is looking like you just aren't going to score.
