Zegras is a center, he super skilled, a willing defender needs to build strength, I'm done hearing about faceoffs it's a vanity Stat at best 2% of faceoff wins results in goals, the flyers won a faceoff against the canes and immediately got scored on, for years the flyers had the #1 and#4 faceoff guys in the league with G and Coots and won nothing, I don't care about faceoff wins because it does very little of you can't do anything on the win
Line1: Martone, Zegras, Michkov (Michy)
Line2: Tippett, Cates, Konect-LESS
Line3: Bumper, Bark-Dawg, Forrest
Line4: Glendenning, Coots, Deslauriers !!!
Unless TRADES Are Made !!!
So two part question lol. Can you please tell me they are not gonna hold onto Risto because his injury recovery was first part of the season instead of second half like last few years ? Second I’m a big maverik borque fan do you think he’d be worth a shot at like a 2nd round tender since he’s RFA as long as they keep it under 4.6 mil?
To me the Flyers will never take the next step until they fix their special teams, especially the PP which I’m tired of seeing it be so bad.
Russ, Tocchet took the job knowing this was a rebuild he was stepping into. This is a fact! So how could any coach not expect to play and develop young players?? You make no sense. Tocchet didn’t play Michkov because he was a complete liability 5 on 5, though Michkov should have been on the top PP. otherwise Tocchet played a ton of young kids this year.
So with your comment on Shane Gostisbehere, he is another player along with many more that the flyers always seem to give up on. And most of the players the flyers traded go on and have great careers with other teams. 😮😮😢😢
Thank you Rachel and Russ. 😊❤😊
I’m just happy Torts is gone. That man is an insufferable a hole
