That's interesting, I have never actually thought about ranking these. There are six who are definitely in the mix prior to the present day:

Craig MacTavish
Ulf Samuelsson
Mike Bullard
Jaromir Jagr
Chris Pronger
Paul Coffey

Yandle doesn't even move the needle for me. I really had an irrational hatred of Nick Schultz, believe it or not, because he was such shit garbage.

The one who is really making a case is Kev, obviously. He might be the one, considering everything. I really, really f***ing hate Bullard, though, and there are no words for how much I hate Macf***ing Tavish, seriously. I'll have to give it some more thought.
How did I miss your Jagr hate? Did you keep that one quiet or do I just not remember you shit posting him?

I have shat on him plenty of times, but usually I just roll my eyes. What's the point? F***ing Lucifer could come and put on a Flyers blouse and half of this fanbase would be like "DURRRRRRRRRRR! WOW! I LOVE YOU, SATAN!"

Ulf... I think the only Flyer I booed on his first intro

Meanwhile, if you decide to pass the puck instead of taking a bad angle shot, against a set goalie, with a defensemen directly in between you and the net, they'll act like you're worse than Satan.

we all know bottom of the lineup player dont matter, cause they dont play nearly enough! we have been told often enough!

deal with it!

And locker room atmosphere and leadership are more important than on ice perfomance!

Cevin said EVERYONE in the franchise LOVES Yandle. So we do anything right!

Stop with blaming the leaders of this franchise! They have done anything right!

What was his xG on this play?


he tried the famous flyers special "snowangel". First founded by Amac, trained to all dman after his career ending in the AHL by Nick Schultz! He is still learning. DOnt be too harsh on him!

I highly dislike Yandle and Kevin Hayes. f*** the Flyers social media.

Funny thing was over the last 20 games, after the TDL, Yandle really wasn't that bad. Not good, but not terrible.

xGF 47.35, xGFrel -1.49, 1.15 pp/60 (5x5), PP xGF/60: 10.87
One reason may be he only played 15 of those 20 games, i.e., with rest he got a little bounce back in his legs.

Another reason was he was paired with young D-men who could actually skate:
Yandle - Zamula 47 minutes, xGF 59.53%
Yandle - Attard 41 minutes xGF 55.56%
42 minute with Seeler and Connauton, xGF 26% or so

Yandle might have worked out if there wasn't the streak and if they had someone to pair with him on his right side who could cover for his old legs. Even if Ellis was healthy, not sure Braun was the right partner for him.
lay off the microdosing.

Oh you're just going to compare across teams, and seasons, and positions, using only raw point totals and nothing else?


And you think that's a reliable way to compare players and their overall impact?

It’s almost like how a certain third liner on the Flyers went from .73 ppg and -12 to 1.28 ppg and +7 since being traded to Florida.

I wonder if playing for a shit garbage team like the Flyers might be suppressing some players raw point totals…
