you must’ve missed game 6 vs buffalo in 2001 and/or 2006.

Some positives:

The off-season additions of Nisky and Brauny are paying off in shot suppression

The Flyers have always struggled against goalies with the initials MB

Patrick practiced

Giroux's gotta score eventually, right?

The team is projecting to have 582K of caps space at the deadline. Ample room to make major moves.

The expected goals for in this game was 6.32565

One can not turn over in their grave if they are among the living

Actually one of those playoff losses against Ottawa were worse. That might have been the series they only scored two goals.

Or D. One of the above coupled with a new coach.
- Sinisalo4vr

I honestly think the Sixers problems are far beyond coaching. Simmons needs to want to change himself to improve this team. Everything is secondary to that.

Unfortunately it VERY much looks like he has little to no interest in improving his shooting game. Either they need to retool around him and get shooters that play to his strengths or they need to move on.

I won't be surprised if we see a coaching change... But I think we'll be having the exact same conversation about Ben a year from now.

Quality over Quantity. How many of those 46 shots were high scoring chances?

No idea I was on a plane

But generally teams that outshot another team by 25+ shots find a way to win.

iirc, the 2001 game 6 at home was an 8-0 loss. 4-0 after 1. the game was so bad, abc/espn switched to another game midway through. the 06 loss was 7-1. also game 6. i was in the building. i don’t remember any game vs ottawa in 02 or 03 being a blow out.
