I hate hexes!!!!

Talk about no breaks tonight or should I say for over a fucking decade in SJ. At least Bryz played well but what is with the fucked up line Lavy. How hard is it to play Rinaldo on the 4th line where he belongs??? Nothing against him but let him play his role and let the scorers score.

I'm not sure we had any lines tonight. The only two people that were consistently on the ice together were schenn and Simmonds. Everyone else was all jumbled up

 

[dspice07]

is lavy starting to outcoach himself like we saw with the goalies last postseason?

 

[jerseyjigroe]

He seems to do this crap w/ the lines every so often. I'm sure he'll figure it out. It's probably more of a message to the team than anything else.

if you send a message to the team every game, how much of a message can it be?

 

[lasgop8]

Why cant he just write a note to send a message and leave the lines in tact?

 

[dspice07]

yeah or an email

I actually don't think he does it all that often.

Because he wasn't getting results with the way things were. Trying everything possible.

I also think he is rewarding the guys that are playing hard. That's why we saw Rinaldo playing up on lines. Rewarding a guy with heart even though he has less skill. Things will work themselves out again. The Flyers always seem to crap their pants this time of year. It's the annual February funk.

 

[dspice07]

as with any sport there are only 2 types of coaches

the players coach (john stevens)
the hard ass (lavy)

both systems can only go so far until they are not effective anymore. the great coaches have figured out how to balance being both.

We always do have the february funk but we lead the league in scoring the lines shouldnt be jumbled especially now when we needas wins badly as the 8th seed is quickly approaching.

I agree, but I don't blame Laviolette for how this season is going. The team is drastically different from last season. Goalie is underachieving, team is very young, and they lost their #1 defenseman. With all that said, I think the team is doing pretty well. The team defense as whole has go to improve though.

The team being so young i think is the key a lot of the young guys havent played this many games in a year and are starting to get tired. i know for sure Cooter has been looking tired the last couple of weeks.

First off, my hat goes out to Bryzy. I have bashed him quite a bit this season and rightfully so. He was solid last night. If he can play like this more often then I am not as worried now than I was a few games ago. The scoring will be there. I'm more concerned about Bryzy. Good game although our offense did not help.

 

[jerseyjigroe]

Yeah, if Bryz can keep the opposition to only one goal then that should be enough for a win. The team needs to step up and score some goals.

Honestly if the D and goaltending play like they did last night for the remainder of the season watch out. Even with the fucked up lines they still dominated at times. I don't mind inspiring a few guys but you need to keep the lines somewhat intact heading into the playoff drive. If you wanted to figure things out do it before Xmas. In any case I guess lines 2-3 are pretty similar so having Rinaldo play up there was no biggy...I love that he hits!
