Jake had one of the worst shots in the league. At one point he had an approx. 80 game stretch for us with, I believe, a single 5v5 goal.
ur gunna get called out by Vora..Jake Voracek was notorious for not passing.
I have been slain.
That seems hard to believe given these stats. He also shot at 9.2% as a Flyer, which is similar to Laughton and includes a lot of PP shots which were designed to generate rebounds.Jake had one of the worst shots in the league.

Not off his entries, his MO was to skate around the offensive zone, hope the defenders would get out of position, then hit someone with a pass (b/c he couldn't shot to save his life the second half of his career, which was a bit odd given he was ok the first half). Jake was a better passer on the PP I think b/c he could stand there, survey the ice, then when a pass came to him he had identified his target and made quick, accurate passes.

This is a lunatic criticism
2017-2020:
Voracek was 10th in PP primary assists/60.
22nd in 5x5 primary assists/60.
I'd be curious how many of his assists came off entry passes and how many off passes after he entered and held the puck.
Can’t make a fruit salad without a little cherry-picking.I'm curious why it would matter.

Who caresJake Voracek, from January 27th, 2015 through to end of season (1 ES goal in 34gp) up until December 14th, 2015 in the following season (1 ES goal in the opening 30gp, only goal at all actually):
So, 2 ES goals in a 64 game stretch, corrected from 1 ES goal in 80 game stretch guestimate.
-5 total goals, including a 41 game stretch with 2 total goals.
He was a 1st Team NHL All-Star in 14-15, he had 81 points. And had 44 Assists the following year, where he had by far the lowest S% in his career as a Flyer. During the stretch you cherrypicked his Corsi and Fenwick were career highs. He was shooting more in that stretch than he basically ever has. Guy is, was and always has been a pure playmaker, but let's not pretend he wasn't productive or that his shot was terrible either.Jake Voracek, from January 27th, 2015 through to end of season (1 ES goal in 34gp) up until December 14th, 2015 in the following season (1 ES goal in the opening 30gp, only goal at all actually):

Most fans are too dumb to understand the importance of playmakers like Giroux, Jake, Frost, etc.Voracek one of the most underrated Flyers of all time by our fans
