I watched the game, like everyone else on this board did.
Egads....the Flyers need speed and more speed and mostest speed. Once they miraculously become faster then the game will tilt their way. Oh wait.......that speed is a physical attribute and not a mental/systems/Torts indicator/quality trait. There were a few plays where if Couts was a little speedier he would have been one on one.
They have a lot more speed than the past, Frost, Tippett, TK, Sanheim.
Flyers defense, 5th among all teams in 20+ MPH bursts.
22+ MPH bursts, 89th percentile (Tippett)
20-22 MPH bursts, 50th percentile
18-20 MPH bursts, 81st percentile.
Skating distance, average per 60, 75th percentile
O-zone time, 56th percentile
Shooting
High Danger 79th percentile
Mid Range 84th percentile
Long Shot 59th percentile

Note, bursts over 20 are calculated against league average, so higher usage players will look better, and lower usage worse, hopefully they'll normalize these numbers at some point.,
