Friedman has:

2nd best shot attempts for %
2nd best expected goals for %
2nd best high danger shot attempts for %
1st best expected goals against/60
1st best shot attempts/60
2nd best shots against/60
3rd best goals against/60
1st best scoring chances against/60
2nd best high danger shot attempts against/60

So I'm still trying to figure out what he's done to deserve being benched. It's not even like he's playing well and getting bad results. The process and the end results are both good.

Hagg and Freidman out for Gus and Prosser

Can someone explain this to me? Bill, what’s the point of this?

Just saw the video of AVs explanation of putting Prosser in. Said he had a good camp, has lots of NHL experience and deserves a chance to play.

I like looking at these numbers but he's played 2 games this season. Let's at least get into February or March before we start posting fancy stats.

Surely you have watched the games no? He has been better. There really is no denying that.

He is young and will make mistakes. That is how he learns and gets better. There is zero upside to Prosser. Hope they lose and miss the playoffs by 1 point and Prosser is the reason.

I can think of 3 million reasons why Gus is back in the lineup.

The cap is not a factor in that decision.

Haag played one of his worst games in his Flyers career last game. Friedman has been struggling. Flyers want a RH shot in the lineup.

He has yes. I'm just one of those guys who likes a significant sample size before going to stats.

Gus and Prosser is going to be nightmarish.

Okay, best foot forward. Team play. Best to turn defense to offense and play with possession. Good passes. 2 points on the line.

Let’s go Flyers!

Friedman hasn’t been struggling; Braun has though.

It is just plain idiotic to have Prosser in the lineup. Inexcusable.

Friedman was better last game...before that he was awful...lol...but considering he hadn’t played in 10 months in a game that’s a small surprise. AV apparently liked the new guys camp....so what’s the harm? He can’t be worse then Friedman’s 1rst game.

Yes, Friedman has. He is not a full time NHL defenseman.

Did he steal your lunch money back in public school or something? I usually give a guy a couple games before I turn on him.

He is a 34 years old who has no business being in the NHL while you have better options. Why do you think he hasn't played an nhl game since when?

It is not too early to tell if he has struggled in the games he has played.

Idk but why in the world is Gus back in the lineup. I know nothing about this Prosser
- ClaudeFather


Fletch has acquired and reacquired this guy 4 or 5-times already.

He's the ultimate replacement-level stay at home security blanket. Think Braun on a league minimum deal.
