GDT: #17 | Flyers at Senators | Thursday, November 14, 2024 | 7:00 PM | NBCSP, 97.5 FM

That was a sneaky good save by Fedotov with his shoulder looked like on a rising wrister. Hasn’t looked bad since the softie.

The Flyers are 28th in xGF/60 on the PP this year. That’s with Michkov now. They’re 32nd in CF/60.

Just in case people got their hopes up about Rocky because of a few early goals and preseason. Same old same old.

Whatever, man. He deserves an extension.

It doesn't help that they regularly only have 90 seconds of powerplay time before they actually have possession in the offensive zone due to losing so many faceoffs.

They rarely get set before the first minute is up.

 

[Magua]

Whatever, man. He deserves an extension.

He got advice from LeClair and Sharp!

 

[bennysflyers16]

Who Center of TK and Tippy ?

 

[Angry Hockey Dad]

That’s an incredibly weak call

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Soft call on Michkov.

 

[bennysflyers16]

How the f*** is that called. My lord

 

[Fight4yourRight]

Weak..

 

[Kelmitchell2]

Games as fun as rimming Rosie o Donnell would be....Jesus christ we are so bad, fedotov has actually been bailing them out

Eh, they’re 7th worst in 5v4 FO%. Florida is 3rd worst, Montreal 6th, Carolina 8th, Nashville 9th, Colorado 11th, Tampa 12th — and all those teams are ~top 10 in 5v4 GF/60. It’s been inversely correlative, if anything.

I’d say it has a lot more to do with how bad they are at entries, cross seam passes, Tippett, Drysdale, etc. Their 2nd unit is almost purposefully designed to be their 5 worst skaters. FOs let them off the hook.

Zone entries become less of an issue if the puck stays in the zone.

It's a series of problem that stack: lose the faceoff, three attempts to get back in the zone, finally set up possession and Tippett immediately shoots into the goalie's belly or misses the net and the puck leaves the zone again...

48% isn’t awful. I don’t know about initial draws, and that feels noisy. Like I said, it doesn’t seem to be a problem for teams similar or worse at the dot. The Flyers are dead last in shot attempts. A lot has to go wrong besides the first faceoff.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Fedotov is reading his angles better but there's still a particular aftermath to a lot of saves that isn't pleasing

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

A minute and a half to get out of the zone to start the second. Entirely unsurprising given the first period.

Exit only possible due to a smart play by Andrae, who continues to impress.

 

[bennysflyers16]

Game is so one sided

Torts hockey baby. How are some of our fans so easily fooled.

 

[bennysflyers16]

All the pets with the most TOI too, shocked I say.

 

[Gregor Samsa]

Flyers will somehow win this game 2-1 while being outshot 50-9

Edit: make that 3-2

Lolz. Good call.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Shots 24-4. Is that good?

 

[Cody Webster]

Is 3 shots good ?

You posted this 45 minutes ago...in that time, they've managed one shot

 

[bennysflyers16]

Torts taking victory laps about last few games was f***ing beautiful

 

[ponder719]

Shots 24-4. Is that good?

Depends. Jameson's? Sure. 10mm? Less good.

 

[bennysflyers16]

Sens may actually get 10 tonight

 

[Deadpool8812]

That's it...keep taking penalties

 

[bennysflyers16]

Another dumb penalty by a pet.

MOREEEEEEEEEE
