I'd love to see a breakdown of those numbers as a 3rd pairing guy vs a 2nd pairing guy.
The thing with analytics, is, when a game starts, there is a puck that can bounce all over the place, and there is an element of luck at times..................so the eye test along with information needs to be used, to make all the right and necessary decisions.
And I hope to be the 1974 Chester. Regrettably, neither is happening.
They put a lot of onus on what came out of Cube's mouth. Maybe we should be questioning his take.
It will be interesting to see if we can become a solid three line team up front with the rearranging of the deck chairs.Fixed that for you.
Our entire bottom 9 was horrendous last year.
Torterella's team showed up prepared to start the season last year. It damn near made them a playoff team.
Sooner or later, the comparative levels of talent exposes the weaker, less talented teams.
Most analytics should always be looked at with context. It's impacted by zone starts and teammates.
Yeah I don't know, according to the schedule on the 1st page, the training has already started.
Flyers were in great shape last year, and then Torts alienated the team, benched the captain, and the team seem to quit..............I loved when the habs trounced them 9-3 and helped them drop down the playoff ladder last year.
I love Torts and would want him as a coach but I get what you're saying about the younger generation. Unfortunately, most don't respond to being challenged these days and see it as sign of disrespect. It's sad for me to watch these young players basically come into the league and expect everything to be given to them. Oddly enough, my dad said the same thing about me and my generation when we were all in competitive sports. Back in my day.....
They called it “Bag skate day” but this isn’t a bag skate where entire team skate till they collapse & forced to skate some more, which is banned by CBA… players are expected to get rest + water break between drills which they are getting since it’s a small subset of players skating at a given time
Me neither, I mean I watch all the games. Personally I thought Struble struggled a lot after the first 10 games - analytics support that. To make it full time in the show he has to be a beast defensively and I didn’t see it consistently.
I've been wanting that forever now. I hate that white space around the numbers on the white jersey...looks awful. Are they going back to the old style even for game jerseys?? Praying!!!
Hutson is basically a lock to make the team, (I don’t equate those situation at all) there are already 4 LD Barron isn’t going on waiver. There is one spot and maybe it a situation where everyone is similar at camp, it make more sense to have Struble at 7th vs. Barron or Mailloux, but Mailloux, Struble and Barron at all fighting for that 6/7 spot, Struble isn’t a lock to make the team… I agree that Mailloux should not be 7th D because he need more ice time so Mailloux need to significantly outplay both to stay while Stuble only need not to get outplayed by both but they are still fighting for the same spotThey are not the same animals and are certainly not vying for the same chairs.
Mailloux needs minutes PP minutes lots of minutes.
Unless there is an injury/trade on the right side I don't see him getting enough of them in Montreal.
Like it or not Justin Barron's ass is welded into that third pairing chair.
Mailloux's eventual chair is currently being occupied by one David Savard and most people understand that.
Seeing them pair Reinbacher with Matheson is another indication of how management sees things.
I really don't see how you equate Mailloux's situation with that of Lane Hutson?
We can get Hutson the minutes he needs on a third pairing with additional Ozone starts and PP minutes.
I don't see that same flexibility on that right sde.
