Rumor: Things Not Left Unsaid 3 - Flyers Rumors and Media Mentions: Never Ending Circles

Can't we just admit that stating that "if the Flyers are good at one thing it's developing goalies" was a ludicrous statement?

So the Flyers outbid everyone for JT Miller?

Couts for Miller.

Same age, contract risk, etc.

Would they have given him that money if Hart was their starting goalie and Ersson the 1B?

I get that you think this makes it better, but I definitely do not.

Except that even with the bad STs this season, they're only -4 net goals (PP + SH - PPA - SHA).
So the goaltending is a much bigger problem.

"Actually the PP isn't bad because other special teams are good"

Brilliant.

Several years ago, my dad was telling me a story about a manager at his work who... well. He was in charge of a service that had been in negative figures for years. Year 6, the loss was the lowest so far - and he proceeded to call it minor, relative profit.

STs are STs, some teams better on the PP, some on the PK.

Net goals are the most important thing to watch on STs, are they helping or hurting your chance to win.

Of course, some people here would happily accept a good PP and a bad PK, more exciting to watch!

"he only made 1 mistake... and even that mistake wasnt really a mistake"

is one of the all time best takes ever posted here...

I mean you can simplify and generalize things up a level from where they are and make any conclusions you want. Scoring on the PP isn't important because net goals is more important? By the same logic you could say 5v5 play isn't important, because winning games is more important.

"Insert x thing you said isn't important, it's actually thing y I said that matters".

It's something you do when you don't want to acknowledge the point someone else is making. It's nonsensical and you can argue for literally anything you want.

You can cherry pick phrases to make someone look bad, but that's a reflection more on the "cherry picker."

My point, which was pretty obvious, is that what matter is STs as a whole, not one aspect.
That is, a good PP but bad PK is no better than a bad PP but a good PK.
That's why I look at net goals as a rough measure, are STs helping or hurting you win games?
