Seattle is arguably the best team we will play, Errson will start and 100% Torts pet EJ will play.
What don't you like about it and what do your prefer? It generated a pretty dangerous chance .@Magua -- Get hold of your bb.
oh Torts will 100% run Sam into the ground..Interested to see their goalie decisions over the next week.
Ersson obviously gives them a better chance to win, but with Kolosov waiting in the shadows, you gotta play Fedotov to see what you have. They also cannot run Sam into the ground again
I think Fedotov likely gets the net tomorrow.
It would make every team a much better team.A top 6 center and a top 4 LHD would make this a much better team.
This doesn't really mean anything, other than McDavid and Draisaitl play more at even strength in general. It's just the ES distribution minutes of EDM's forwards in general.Opposing ES TOI with Luchanko on ice:
Ekholm 7:07/Bouchard 6:40
McDavid 5:31
Draisaitl 5:24
Stecher 4:55/Nurse 4:12
Hyman 4:19
Brown 3:52
Henrique 3:48
Kulak 3:22
Podkolzin 3:19
Perry 3:16
More like another Justin Bailey.What do you want Jett to be , Laughton or Schiefele ?
Torts and Danny are so excited to make him another Laughton
I don't mind a box on a 5v3, it can work fine. I'd prefer 3 around the net, and staggered defense...Their issue last year was how spread out the box was. There was only one play to be made, to the center.What don't you like about it and what do your prefer? It generated a pretty dangerous chance .
TK does not lack hockey IQ. At least not nearly to the degree that Tippet does.Tippett made some nice passes, he's actually a better passer than advertised, I think like TK, his lack of hockey IQ means he's better in "run and gun" situations than "half court" where you have to see the ice and anticipate the passing lanes.
We should be developing 18 year old in the NHL now? Seems like a recipe for disaster.If Luchanko can hold his own, he'll develop faster at the NHL level (simply more resources in practice, and the focus will be on him), but not if he's overwhelmed. Which is why the coming homestand will make that decision for them.
I think one reason Zamula will get the benefit of the doubt is Michkov, but next season Michkov's English should be good enough that Zamula will have to earn his job.
Tippett made some nice passes, he's actually a better passer than advertised, I think like TK, his lack of hockey IQ means he's better in "run and gun" situations than "half court" where you have to see the ice and anticipate the passing lanes. The drive when he deked through two defenders and got his shot past Skinner (I think it went off the post) was awesome. And I like using him on the PK where he can play an aggressive style and force Sh scoring opportunities.
If Seeler isn't back, I can see Andrae getting a start against Seattle. Probably didn't want him paired with Drysdale against Edmonton.
If Luchanko can hold his own, he'll develop faster at the NHL level (simply more resources in practice, and the focus will be on him), but not if he's overwhelmed. Which is why the coming homestand will make that decision for them.
If Luchanko could go to the AHL it would be ideal (which is what some European prospects have done at 18-19). Watching him, he's probably too advanced for the CHL.You said, repeatedly, for years, that the NHL is not a development league and players must do all their development in the AHL, and that it is therefore good that young players stew in the AHL indefinitely while veterans decline and degrade in what should be their NHL spots.
You also insisted that it was good that Frost was kept down needlessly because he never dominated the AHL, and thus is not an NHL player. We saw how that worked out, but Luchanko has never dominated any level.
So, what's up? Were you wrong for years? Or do you just make up whatever standard is needed to defend team choices?
and this is so (not)funny after bringing him up as one of the reasons why you dont draft a potential star dman!I get the feeling the Flyers don't really think Andrae is NHL material. He is one of the guys that just doesn't get the benefit of the doubt, for example like Zamula has all last season and this one as well.
Imagine not thinking Andre is a NHL Dman but EJ, Z, and Risto are.and this is so (not)funny after bringing him up as one of the reasons why you dont draft a potential star dman!
oh they gunna burn a year off. about game 40 or so when hes completly overwhelmed they will send him down..TK does not lack hockey IQ. At least not nearly to the degree that Tippet does.

This is what I want on all PPs tbh, keep forcing teams to collapse then get close/dangerous shots off. If the 5v3 pk stays passive and collapses, it makes the two top guys in the box more valuable because they can get closer. If you have a righty and a lefty at the top, they can easily switch spots depending on if you're qbing from down low or the top to open up all one timers.In order to open up seams, offensive teams will tighten up around the triangle and to get defenders to engage them directly. Once they get them to engage, a seam opens up, and can be exploited.
i believe its 9 games he plays..not 9 games the team plays..so they could essentially string him along and spread out those 9 games ...which doesn't seem like it helps anyonecan you send him down later? Didnt you need to take the 9 game window or its too late?
Watching him, he's probably too advanced for the CHL.
If Luchanko could go to the AHL it would be ideal (which is what some European prospects have done at 18-19). Watching him, he's probably too advanced for the CHL.
So it's a tough call, but one he'll make through his play.
Right now he hasn't shown enough to either keep or send down, that is, he's shown he can handle the NHL physically and mentally, but he hasn't shown enough that keeping him is a no-brainer.
But this is two games on a West Coast road trip, let's see how he fares in the 6 game homestand.
PS: Luchanko at 18 looks more NHL ready than Frost did at 20.

so ur saying ur gunna have a flat earth brain ?I mean it's fully wild to determine that a player would be best served developmentally at a lower level, so therefore the NHL is fine. After years of insisting you cannot develop in the NHL. My brain is going to split in half sideways. Not even along the hemisphere
