Someone's a little fussy today. Didn't get anything good out your Christmas FIFA pack?

You're thinking of backgammon

 

[FLYguy3911]

Someone's a little fussy today. Didn't get anything good out your Christmas FIFA pack?

Actually yeah.

When you getting FC? Would love to clap those cheeks.

 

[BigToe]

You probably would. I haven’t played any games in sooo long bb.

 

[FLYguy3911]

You probably would. I haven’t played any games in sooo long bb.

Now’s your chance.

 

[GapToothedWonder]

Yeah, but it's somewhat entertaining and allows finding all sorts of genuinely interesting stats.

Give it a decade and see how you feel.

What the ELO sitting at?

Dropped down to 1200 Rapid. 1333 Blitz.

 

[BernieParent]

More like playing chess with a pigeon. At some point the pigeon will just shit all over the board and declare itself the winner.

Can't hold its stool.

 

[DancingPanther]

You'd smoke me, I'm on such a cold streak rn

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

Its typical flyers to have the only positive surprise that has been Andrae toiling around in Ahl.

It makes sense to play inferior players over superior players, according to the Flyers.

Why do we do this to ourselves?

They are still trying to develop Seelsy while already transitioning Deslauriers to the front office role.

 

[Cody Webster]

So goalies can develop in the NHL but other players can't.

Got it.

We've been told the below, it's fine

Flyers are good at developing goalies. It's probably their strongest suit

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

We've been told the below, it's fine

It could possibly be their strongest suit but that's not an endorsement of the organization. It's an indictment.

One day that will be noticed.

[freakydallas13]

How tf does bad goaltending impact the "culture" of the team, exactly?

Don't answer that, it's rhetorical and I'm not paying to read that stupid article.

 

[BernieParent]

Oh, no. Not the culture!

 

[Curufinwe]

This has to be a parody. Has to!

 

[BernieParent]

How tf does bag goaltending impact the "culture" of the team, exactly?

Don't answer that, it's rhetorical and I'm not paying to read that stupid article.

Spoiler alert: the article is as bad as you expected.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

while already transitioning Deslauriers to the front office role.

Hey that’s our future PP coach your talking about. Pump the brakes on the negativity

 

[deadhead]

Actually, goal tending has the least impact on team culture.

The team knows when it's playing well, and if the goaltenders let them down, they still know they're on the right track, and it's easier to find one goaltender than change 18 players.

Flyers are 24th in xGF/60, 12th in xGA/60. So it's not the defense letting down the goaltenders.

11/25 Torts finally settled on 4 lines:
Last 14 games:
7th in xGF/60, 1st in xGA/60.
The PK was 32nd over that stretch in xGA/60, and the PP 32nd in xGF/60.
Flyers giving up the most goals b/c (GA- xGA)/60 for that stretch was +1.25.

 

[Curufinwe]

Spoiler alert: the article is as bad as you expected.

I'm not a fan of COC after he was strangely & needlessly hostile to me last year when I committed the crime of gently pointing out that the PHD line were actually doing badly on the ice. But by god is this Kurz character a massive downgrade as the Athletic's beat writer for the Flyers.
