21-22 Season - Jekyll or Hyde ?

[lasgop8]

Pretty much the same cycle as the last few years, problem is those 2 don't show up for long stretches either. So tired of hearing Coots is a stud, he's a slightly above average player on a low average team. Leadership on this team is non existent, period!

Leadership has been non existent on this team for about 10 years.

The 4th line is the least of our problems by far.

Not arguing that fact, but what I said is still true lol.

GEE, I wonder who's had the C on their Sweater all those years?

Saddest part is we have a very good Goalie who's best years are going to be behind a team rebuilding year in and year out.

The messed up part about how good he is playing is we are now reliant on him waaaaay too much and he is facing so many shots that eventually he is going to get run down or hurt.

When McEwen is the best player on the ice for our team you know we played really bad.

The Flyers’ top players were largely pretty quiet in this one—Zack MacEwen led the team in high danger chances with three. And, of course, not to take anything away from his individual work, he was really the only skater we could say played well in this one, when your fourth line winger is your best player in a game, that’s a problem.

The Flyers’ offense fell flat again

Time is a flat circle.

The more depressing reason they aren’t good is that they just might not have enough talent. If it was as easy as changing leadership, there would be hope.

But at this point, I’m losing faith that Konecny, Farabee, and Lindblom aren’t the “solid top 6 guys” we thought we had and are more just “fine top 6 guys” or good 3rd liners. That won’t cut it when your top guys arent super stars. Same with Provorov and Sanheim. If they’re not star top 4 guys then you can’t really say they’re built to win because of an elite defense.

Honestly, in some ways the roster construction reminds me of the post-lockout year. They’ve got a slow ass team in a league built by speed and playing a fast game. Their entries on the PP and at 5 on 5 are completely crippling. And they can’t do it because none of them can skate.

Do you mean our players got overrated ? No way that doesn't happen on this board.

I’m depressed too. Didn’t watch last night was on the open highways headed north.

This is deja vu all over again and again and again.

Almost afraid to watch tonight.

Happy Thanksgiving boys!!

Happy Thanksgiving boys!!

You to.

 

[purdue81]

Same to all

Flyers next six games are absolutely brutal. I am setting over/under at 6 points.

And the UNDER wins

That game truly sucked. That is all!

This is exactly the case, we have been so guilty of building up players because they have done well in Lehigh etc. I think Farabee could be the only top 6 player out of our younger guys also. Other problem is bringing in aging vets instead of investing in youth and talent with those bigger contracts. I can think of a 100 plus players I'd rather give the money we have, JVR, Hayes and now Ellis. I also don't think we have the right coaching staff on any level. No way you start out the season hot and then just go that cold. Somewhere between coaches and the players on this team themselves, there Isa severe disconnect.

Gotta beat a team like the Devils tonight in regulation or forget about it. Yes, we have a lot of critical injuries, but there are no excuses for this one. It's a big game against a big rival no matter how you slice it.
