Post-Game Talk: Fly

We win 6-3 with great analytics and everyone's mad

I really like that Kreider-Trocheck-Vesey line a lot.

Miller’s goal was unreal. He’s an unbelievable athlete and player. Just imagine when he hits his prime.

Lol poor Kakko.

I like it, but I also wouldn't be opposed to swapping Kreider and Laf (Laf-Tro-Ves, and Kreids-Chytil-Kakko). I just really think that the Chytil/Kakko duo would take off if they had a LW that could match Chytil for speed and wasn't so reluctant to shoot the puck. It would also give Chytil a backup FO guy, as Kreids takes them fairly often.

12 minutes for Laf, Kakko, Chytil f***ing clown organization.

Gallant is sheltering their minutes because you know how tired young people get.

 

[TriFF51]

f*** this league. That’s Kakko’s goal. He will ALWAYS have one more goal than the nhl.com stats say in my posts.

I swear to God if he ends his career stuck on 49 goals...

[Whoot Whoot]

I’m gonna literally send 24 “12 rules to life”

 

[CLW]

He had that before the Rangers though.

And Laffy is finding a shell of his own now. Drury and GG are so focused on making the playoffs playing shit hockey they don't have time for the kids. Classic.

 

[PuckLuck3043]

Despite the streak, tomorrow is a must win. You don't lose again to Chicago. They're 1-14 in their last 15.

And a B2B with travel never bodes well.

 

[Boris Zubov]

You might know who we are, but we KNOW who you are.

Against the Flyers who are the 6th worst team in the league.

 

[NCRanger]

And they are getting very close to not in the playoffs.

Devils are in their annual Christmas slide.

Back in the mid-80s, the Devils would be competitive until about mid-December and then go 1-8-3 or similar over the Christmas season and would find themselves out of the mix.

I always called it the Christmas slide. Almost always happened in those Christmas colors too.

It's actually worse than what I said... Kakko only got 11 minutes.

Turns out that if you treat a player like a middle 6 winger instead of a star, that's what they will eventually turn to.

They just won 6 in a row and they aren't playing shit hockey. They are doing everything they didn't do earlier in the year. Finding ways to win instead of lose and making the playoffs should be the primary goal.

 

[ohbaby]

I don't remember ever seeing a guy tripped up on a breakaway, getting up and scoring.

*Kravvy another solid game*

GG: "Scratch him"

Solid as fog.

 

[GENESISPuck94]

That’s Kakko in a nutshell. He’s passive. That’s his entire game. He doesn’t have the personality to be a big strong nasty power forward. He’s too timid. He can do figure 8’s along the boards all he wants but every time he has a prime scoring chance he lacks that killer instinct and waits too long and screws up.

Because this organization cut his nuts off. How are Laf and Kakko supposed to have a killer instinct when they've been castrated by the organization.

 

[Mandar]

Kinda cool to cut the deficit for first place by 10 points in only five games

 

[chosen]

Kid line 11mins.
I don't want to sound like a debbie downer but wtf?

But you do.

People will complain about something. They could have won 10-0 and be on a 20 game win streak. It just doesn't matter.

Flyers are barely an NHL team and we made it look very difficult , and the kids got no minutes.

I’m not mad. Then again, I rarely get mad on here anymore.

Yeah like we've played so well against bottom teams this year too. It was their 6th win in a row and we are complaining because the kids got 3 minutes less ice time than they normally do. Too funny.

 

[Psycho for Perreault]

People keep saying everyone is mad. I think mad is the wrong word. Frustrated. This organization should have two goals. Make the playoffs and develop the kids. Both can happen at the same time. Both should happen at the same time. We won’t be a playoff threat if they don’t improve. 11 minutes is unacceptable. Goodrow and Vesey being top 3 in minutes might have helped get us a win in December, but that’s not the recipe for April and beyond. Happy for the win. The TOI from today cannot be a normal occurrence.

They are playing shit hockey. This team is far too deep and talented to have to "find ways to win" against the bottom feeders of the league, which usually they have failed to do. Any coach, including Quinn, could take this squad to the playoffs easily. Even the recent worry that they might miss out is a sign of sub-par coaching.
