Yes, I'm one of those guys.

To your point though, yes, they are better with him in the lineup (even this crappy lineup) than without him.

One of those guys who would complain about the Flyers if they went 41-0-41 and won the President's Trophy?

Good analogy, actually.

I was thinking along those lines watching the pupu platter of guys Hakstol tried in the middle in Couturier's absence.

Everybody outside the regular top 6 are getting their asses kicked in the shot attempt battle. I can't remember seeing such a clear demarcation before. After Simmonds it just falls off a cliff, although Gagner at least has the excuse of getting a strangely low OZ start %.

I would only chime in when the peanut gallery started calling them undefeated with that record.

That's fair, but I really do see a big difference between (for example) the SO loss to the Kings and the actual losses against Washington and Colorado.

Especially considering we should have had a two goal lead because that no-goal was a bs call.

LET'S GO FLYERS!!! CLAP! ~ CLAP! ~ CLAP!CLAP!CLAP!!!

Points percentage, bro. That is really all that matters (sans tie breakers)

The only difference is the loser point. Otherwise, a loss is a loss.

Then those who want to talk about that should indicate that.

5-6 -> 1-6 both are still records that don't make the playoffs

He's Joe from accounting. Nobody notices the good day-to-day essential work he does but when he's gone they're like "wtf is happening?"

This blows my "Hartnell/Umberger stool" analogy out of the water.

yea the eyeball test tells your the kings are a much slower team than Wash or Colorado which is why the game was closer for us

There's a difference, sure. Still, if we're leaning on points percentage to deem a club a ".500 team", then more than two thirds of the league is above .500. It's pretty much a participation trophy.

No team has less wins than the flyers

It's raining - which isn't too bad. And I hate you for pointing this out.

I don't think it's just speed, because the Rangers are a fast team and we played even better against them than we did against the Kings.

you're not "those" guys, "they" are "those" guys.

Well, since a team that is 41-41 would finish behind a team that is 41-40-1, then nope, he's one of "those" guys

But they're only 2 games under .500 so no need to worry.

Isn't that the number he indicated? I didn't really care enough to do the math, but it sure looked that way to me. This isn't baseball. A .500 team in hockey doesn't mean they have as many wins as losses. Points is how the standings are calculated

When the NHL institutes a uniform point structure for W/L/OtW/OtL ie 3/0/2/1, then we can use point percentage, until then, win % is W/games played.

He may have tried to imply it, but I definitely did not infer it.
