Miscellaneous NHL Discussion C: The centenarian of threads

Gabe from The Office, er, Kris Knoblauch, reunites with McDavid from his Erie Otters days.

 

[BernieParent]

What crazy timing. The Oilers beat the Kraken handily last night.

 

[GKJ]

Couldn’t be more obvious what’s going on here. McDavid has the Oilers on the clock now.

 

[kudymen]

They didn't snatch Ian Laperriere?

Skinner & Campbell have a combined -11.6 GSAE this year. They rank 73rd & 65th worst out of 73 goalies so far in GSAE.

I think they’re a flawed team still but they are leading the league currently in 5v5 xG%. They’re getting pretty PDO’d right now.

My memory of his time here is foggy, but wasn't Knoblauch running our PP for a couple years and finishing near the bottom of the league in PP% both years he was here?

Bedard keeps checking some plays on the iPad. Has he not heard about the Tortorella school of focus?

Yeah if I remember correctly

Called it on Friday

I thought they were more middle of the pack.

He also apparently tweaked the team's transitions and entries with success.

Yeah I must have misremembered. Looks like they were 15th in PP% his first season and then 23rd in his final year. Thought I remembered people not being a fan of his time here.

From 2017-19, the Flyers were 4th in xGF/60 and 19th in GF/60. They underperformed their league best xGF/60 in 16-17 too.

The Flyers always had the issue of having an elite PP1 and a non-functional PP2. Now, they're among worst teams on the PP in generating xG AND actual goals, year after year, while having two non-functional units. Progress, baby.

I don't really have an opinion on Knoblauch's tenure, other than, by default, he's vastly superior to Michel Therrien and Rocky Thompson. High praise indeed. The Flyers for a long time have been organizationally lost when it comes to the PP.

You think the Flyers would of allowed him to leave? He’s the future man

What a shitshow up there in Edmonton

Edmonton trying to take the Biggest Shitshow title from us

I'm convinced that there are only like 5-10 NHL teams that aren't shitshows

Lol at gudas goal

Fantastic stuff. Like something out of a movie.

 

[ponder719]

That's some Gud as comedy, right there.

Meh, the goalie should have had that. The puck only went in because he Ducks into butterfly prematurely.

He should have, but either way, it was Mighty funny.

 

[Angry Hockey Dad]

Thought that was weird too. Must have decided following San Jose loss

Sounds like he needs Hart
