Michkov scored, Andrae got his first, the Flyers only got 1 point instead of 2 when they were up 3-0…all in all not a bad day for those hoping for a tank

They aren't tanking. I wish they were, but instead they are doing everything then can to draft 14th OA.

 

[GapToothedWonder]

Just a reminder: So did most of this board.

Did you take a hit of deadheads stuff? Careful that shit will fry your brain.

I haven't been watching, has Seeler been as bad as these stats look?

 

[GKJ]

The Flyers have 4 regulation wins. You know who that's better than? Nobody. Tied for last with San Jose and Pittsburgh.

 

[Curufinwe]

Sad to see, isn't it? What happened to him? He was the most promising young player we had just a few years ago.
I distinctly remember Giroux praising him as the next great Flyer in a tweet shortly after he was traded to Florida.

He had neck surgery two summers ago

The Flyers have 4 regulation wins. You know who that's better than? Nobody. Tied for last with San Jose and Pittsburgh.

Inflated P% due to a strong SO record in the Torts era: 9-6 overall, 3-2 this season.

It's a mediocre team that started slow.
Now they're playing better.
They're still mediocre but no longer bad.

I'd rather be bad than mediocre.

How many other franchises take pride in being mediocre?

Montreal, which is definitely a strike against the concept

 

[Philly Fanatik]

How many other franchises take pride in being mediocre?

Minnesota Wild?

When you start a new era of something (orange) but still are the same (mediocre)

They've been mediocre for 15 years. People are tired of mediocre

 

[Magua]

Minnesota Wild?

Maybe in the Fletcher-Flahr Era, though mediocre feels harsh (a mediocre annual playoff team?). But I don’t view them as mediocre these days. Those previous Wild teams never had a Hart-caliber player, and they’re assembling quite the crew (Boldy, Ek, Buium, Faber, Rossi, Yurov, Ohgren).

Toronto is mediocre, while taking pride in their delusion that they're not, if that helps any.

Reminds me of a certain other franchise a bit further south.

Not sure if that's updated for tonight's game, though

So, I finally nerded out and looked up the first powerplay faceoffs. The Flyers have had 71 powerplays, but one started after Buffalo Knubled their own powerplay, so only 70 opening faceoffs. Strangely, MacKinnon's double minor has only been logged as a single powerplay.

I owe Frost an apology. He's over 50% and the team is exactly 50%. He has lost his last 4 opening powerplay faceoffs, though, and Couturier has taken the bulk of the openers since since Frost lost his last one vs Ottawa.

Frost: 17W 14L (55%)
Couturier: 9W 10L
Michkov: 5W 5L
Farabee: 1W 3L
Konecny: 2W 1L
Laughton: 1W 1L
Luchanko: 0W 1L

*There's a high probability of a manual error above, but it's close enough.

Tagging @Magua and @VladDrag since you both responded to previous posts of mine on this topic.

Anyway to check how many times Frost has been booted from the dot? Seems high.

I don't know what the charts say, but sounds like a TORTS thing to me.

I suspect most of the Michkov faceoffs are because Frost was booted.

Unfortunately the play-by-play logs don't track when centres get tossed.

Every time Jim Jackson says "turbocharge time!" when Tippett has the puck, I die a little inside.

So does the puck.
