Saturday, Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday. So, 4 in 6.

I don't think they're allowed 4 in 5.

I guess for the first part of this stretch they will employ the "too rested" excuse and the second part will be "too tired"...

"Didn't play within team structure"

I love how this thread has turned into asking @JojoTheWhale to sift through the stats to find the worst Flyers dman of the last 2 decades.

It's like asking your grandparents how bad food rationing was during the War.

I, too, am very surprised that Hagg occupies the lowest rung on this mostly buried ladder. I would have thought Manning or Yandle. So much for the cataract-laden eye test.

Sorry for beating a dead Hagg after that conversation petered out, but he is my exhibit A for this franchise's failure to identify and develop talent. He had some offensive flair in juniors and I remember that most were pleased with nabbing him with a 2nd round pick. The Flyers braintrust tunnel-visioned to "big body, hitz, safe plays" which I believe was an immense disservice to his development. We then got to pleasure of seeing a player who had to remake his entire game and looked putrid for it.

At least zamula can move the puck. Our D as a whole is meh at best

I was getting my z anger out of the way comparing to #8.

Z is poor man's kerry huffman 2.0. And like Kerry by the time z turns 28ish he will no longer be an nhl player. Maybe sooner.

Zamula was better last season, for some reason, he's started this season in a mind fog.

Smooth skater, good passer, but below average speed and that frame will always limit his ability to gain leverage against stronger forwards, but it does give him a wide reach radius.

His physical limitations puts a priority on IQ, and that's what's been lacking this season.
