can we have this debate in cooking analogies like yesterday?

If Toews and Giroux switched teams, the Flyers would be a perennial Cup contender and the Hawks would be in line for McDavid. Toews leadership is unparalleled.

Chicago would likely cease to exist as a city. Remember the great fire? That occurred after exceptional leader Jimmy Wood (who played Infield and served as the team Manager) of the Chicago Whitestockings decided to hand over the reins to Bub McAtee. Peasants damn near burned the entire city down.

Gordon Ramsay is like Toews and Paula Deen is like Giroux.

MDZ isn't big, or physical. He's been diagnosed with Akeson disease.

Johnnie Toews is the Lobster Thermidor of NHL leaders. Claude Giroux is a hush puppy.

Does this one work...

The Flyers have spent caviar money, on a hot dog roster.

Personally, I think it just points to general fluctuations in a hockey season as well as good execution vs. poor execution, on all three teams parts.

The Florida game wasn't about a general fluctuation in the season. It was about simply not showing up, until the pulled the goalie late in the 3rd period.

This is fascinating stuff. The reason the great leader had to hang it up was because he was a lunatic.

"In 1874, he tried to lance an abscess on his leg with a pocketknife. This caused an infection which led to an eventual amputation of the leg "

slow starts and trying to come back has been the flyers theme for the last few years

Do you think having an extra man on the ice makes it a bit easier to execute?

Me too. (frank) Toews.

"Not showing up" as you call it, is a general fluctuation, Mr. Simply.

- PLindbergh31

be fair, there's some caviar in there

I don't know why you'd put caviar on a hotdog, but then I've never been a GM, or a chef, or whatever

There are 22 men on the roster. For a team not to have "leadership" doesn't make much sense to me. It's funny, the good teams, roster and execution wise are always said to have great leaders but the bad and average teams in terms of these thing have poor leadership.

Of course, a good team gets bumped from the playoffs like the Penguins and everyone starts questioning Crosby's leadership ability yet no one was saying that when they won the Cup. Same with Richards in 2010. Takes the Flyers to the Cup and he's an awesome captain. The next year they get swept in the second round by the Bruins and all of a sudden he's a bad captain and a distraction because of his off the ice doings.
- NickTheKid87

I think leadership is important, but it certainly isn't the difference between a good team and an average team. The Flyers just lack the talent other teams have. They have 1 good scoring line, 1 good checking line and a few decent defenseman. Their goaltending is solid, but it's certainly not upper echelon.

Not when it happens game after game after game for years on end.

I feel like hot dog is a pretty good analogy for this group.

There's some scraps of tasty tenderloin and pork shoulder in there, but also no shortage of anus and trotters and offal and other unmentionable filler bits mixed in.

That has more to do with the fact that they are just ok. They play bad some games and good others because of their roster is average and they execute averagely.
