GDT: Hurricanes at Devils 12:30 EDT - Game #78 (MSG)

[NjdevilfanJim]

When we are on the power play we should consider it a success we didn't give up a shorty....

 

[Bleedred]

So is the fact that Jack Hughes has been absent for most of these games since this drought started going to save Recchi?

It really f***in shouldn't.

 

[SJinNewJersey]

I sure hope next year's Dougie, is more like earlier season Dougie.

That exposes the shit PP. A good PP strategy can be successful with average players. I’m not talking goals, just chances and shots on goal.

We don’t get either.

What would you say you do here?

 

[Bleedred]

Gillies going a period without allowing a goal is like his own version of a shutout.

100% this. The only reason we score power play goals this season is because we had talented players generate them. Take those players off the unit and it looks like a disaster.

where is early season andreas?

 

[Captain3rdLine]

Okhotiuk has been great at stepping up and ending plays before our blue line.

 

[Poppy Whoa Sonnet]

I know everyone thinks firing Recchi will fix things but if the PP sucks cause the Devils are a rush team that can't generate offense when the other team clogs up the blue line then goes into a defensive shell in their own zone (even with only 4 guys!) next year is gonna be rough too.

There’s no reason to not have at least an average PP with the players we can put out there . 100% on Recchi that it sucks . No more excuses for him . They have time to practice this year . He has to go

They have zero issues gaining the zone, so the blue line being clogged isn’t an issue. It’s when they set up. The strategy is awful. It would also be nice to have a few more right shot forwards.

Usually you can make adjustments as a coach to help in those situations. Lindy's staff is as stubborn as Hynes was...gonna keep forcing it regardless WORK HARDER IT WILL COME.

Doesn't work that way

 

[Poppy Whoa Sonnet]

They def have issues gaining the zone, at least in the most brutal PPs I've seen. Is there data saying they are average at it?

 

[Guttersniped]

Nothing to see here

''Oh but they're the best PK in the NHL''

Yeah and we're the 28th worst (probably should be 32nd though), so what's the point?

The Flyers have by far the worst PP in the league. Not just season long, it’s even been decidedly worse short term.

The Flyers have scored 1 PP goal between 3/23-4/23 (15 games).

We’re one of three teams with 3 PP goals in the last month, the next fewest. Kraken (13 games), Ducks (13 games) & Devils (14 games).

Ours sucks hard tho of course

With Hughes and Bratt perhaps, otherwise it's a rarity.

No the underlying analytics of our PP say we should we kill ourselves.

 

[Eggtimer]

It will be nice to have Holtz on the PP . Gives us a shooting threat in the Ovie spot on the ice .

 

[Guttersniped]

Not good.

Good.
