Post-Game Talk: Flyers @ The Powerhouse 7:30pm

Lmao that was one power play. Why does hfboards always do this? Your statement doesn’t prove anything. How am I the one making things up when I’m the one that actually used stats, and you used one game as your “evidence”?

Isn't your advanced stats relying on an old chart of something that says ADA is some sort of PP savant? What's the up to date chart for that stat say now?

Boo is dumb.

Sticking up for your mate isn’t dumb you might not like the penalty but it isn’t dumb

Oh well, I just disagree. Shattenkirk has been good for a while now, with his play at 5v5 in all zones being noticeably improved. You’re directing your frustration in the wrong direction.

PP1 with Pionk on it was good for about 2 weeks and then for 2 months it was very ineffective seemingly just being an endless cycle of failed zone entires, with PP2 with TDA and Shatty being the better unit. With Shatty being much improved and closer to his old self, it’s perfectly reasonable for him to be on PP1 and let TDA and Pionk handle PP2. Is actually been saying they should do exactly this for the last couple months. Makes the most sense all around.

Developing young players doesn’t always mean just give them stuff. Let them play well on PP2 and get experience and earn a promotion.

So we should just give Shattenkirk PP1 time because he’s older and has a history of being good on it, right? Older players shouldn’t just be “given stuff” either.

Clean hit. Nothing to fight about.

Brendan Smith is still not that bad.

To be fair, ADA is out there with Staal again

You just won’t let that one go. That’s really annoying because that wasn’t the point of my post. The point was that Shattenkirk isn’t very good anymore.

You probably think Pionk is our best PP guy because he has the most points, right?

@ me.

His mistakes tend to be of the glaring variety

Pionk looking suspiciously like ADA out there with Staal. Even stole his #77 jersey and everything.

Fkn Pionk ruining everything.

@ me.

better at forward than McLeod too

Clean hit. Nothing to fight about.

Fighting over a clean hit and taking a penalty for it is one of the most 0/10 things about this sport's mindset.

Mark Howe lite.

Again you can stick up for your bud clean or not. He didn’t like it and he felt the need to make it known he didnt like it. I get when the games on the line you don’t want that penalty but we ain’t playing for much this year so why not. Stick up for your bud it won’t ever bother me

Watching Skjei and Pionk attempt that transition was like watching a tree try to skateboard.

If I was a GM of an aspiring playoff team I would take Hayes over Simmons

Can't make glaring mistakes if you never have the puck.

I like the play if it’s a dirty hit. Taking a mindless penalty in a 1-0 game is low hockey IQ.

...for sneaking.....
