Not by order , but that may be the best fwd lineup for actual skaters we have had all year.

@Beef Invictus this is game 66. They've played 65 up to this point. FYI.



Over the last 10 games, the team as a whole has been shitty offensively, while being awesome defensively. Both their rolling averages for xGF and xGA/60 have dropped over that span. In other words, this team is not producing scoring chances, and are also preventing score chances against.

This is pure speculation, but since they are in a playoff push, I have to imagine that Torts is gonna push what he does best; defensive play. In some of his pressers, Torts has talks about recalibrating when the team 'turns back' (his term he uses to identify when forwards should aggressively pressure on forecheck, and when they should 'turn back' to the backcheck and establish positioning in the NZ). I would guess that the focus from the coaching staff right now is an earlier turn back and setup in the NZ, and I think that has a negative affect on scoring opportunities for everyone. From my eye, that feels like what's been happening lately as well.

I know I'm a Frost guy, and I know I have a certain bias here. I acknowledge he has not been strong offensively over the last 10 games (his defensive numbers have been pretty consistent however). But I also think it's a bit unfair to specifically call out Frost when the entire team has not been good at generating changes as a whole over the last 10 game.

calling out Frost while Tippett and the whole Team is in a scoring slump is typical flyers and typical Torts! I´am not shocked at all. They will trade him in the offseason and will try to sign a players like frost for years! Like they have done with Ghost!

Worst Franchise!

Nice visualization. Thanks.

Normally this goes in social media thread, but since I was talking about the team as a whole, I think this is okay here.

No one is scoring because no one is generating. It’s a team-wide thing. They are doing a poor job of generating high quality chances and in turn no one is scoring.

Maybe fista wouldn't be such a bag blower if he actually played a full season. Best wishes to him and his health

 

[Din Djarin]

Please don't lay down like you did in Tampa the other day.

 

[freakydallas13]

I do love the implication that Torts is secretly coaching while not being allowed to, when in reality shirking coaching duties is his modus operandi.

 

[Din Djarin]

Not even one minute in and already on the Power Kill

 

[BiggE]

Even against one of the 2 worst teams in the league, Rocky’s powerplay shits the bed.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Not a bad kill by the Flyers' PP.

 

[Din Djarin]

Hahaha, Penguins would be out if season ended today.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

1-0
Bee sting.

 

[Din Djarin]

FARABEE!

What a saucer pass by Morgan Frost to set up the breakaway goal.

 

[BiggE]

Whew, Farabee needed that one! Great pass by Frost. Yes, John, Frost.

 

[FLYguy3911]

I chuck sauces like that in Chel.

 

[Hextallent63]

Awesome look by Frost. Farabee needs to turn into that 30 goal scorer I think he is.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Sharks have the 31st ranked PK. We know what the Flyers PP is like. The movable object against the resistible force

I remember when Baltimore Orioles' manager Earl Weaver was ejected from both ends of a doubleheader, the second game before it began. Same ump tossed him. I am hoping McCauley is doing a Flyers' game pretty quickly.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Just flipped the game on. That pass by Frost to Farabee was incredible.

 

[tymed]

Sick saucer, damn. Hopefully our skills guys can break out of the funk tonight

 

[Pet Charles]

Remarkable pass by Frost.

Why does Marc Staal still have a job? Couldn't they mix it up and go with a 13/5? Just because.

Is Brink really sitting again?

Saw him on the pp2 unit

 

[ybnvs]

Sharks announcer said how the Flyers are closer to being the Broad Street Bullies than ever before.

This was 1 or 2 sentences after admiring the Flyers size.

Brink is playing tonight.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Anyone hear that screaming before the stoppage?
