Not one mention here about Oskar's fantastic pass to spring NP.
It was a beauty, giving hope to things to come in playoffs.

I can't help but thinking that Gudas' knee is an issue. His mobility is limited and there are times when he id down right laboring. When he does have the puck he seems to have the yips because he knows he has cheated on his positioning because of mobility so he may not have the space he needs to move/handle the puck.

That is a big surmise, but having played sports through injury and adapted my game because of limitations, it is easier to spot. Gudas also is not playing with the same drive. He is not pinning people to the boards and having them stick. That is a lower body issue.

Hagg would be better than either Gudas or Manning, but if the issue is not wanting to break up Amac and Sandheim...then the matter is even bigger...the bottom pairing is the issue. They will need to address that on the off season.

Overall the Flyers need to upgrade their 3rd and 4th lines. They have needed more first and 2nd step quickness in those lines. They will be the primary PK players. This is another area that I look forward to seeing what Hexy comes up with.

Regarding the last paragraph. We thought we were getting that with the leier/Laughton additions and them as a pk pairing. They just didn’t get the job done.

The flyers were out scored on the power play in situations where Giroux wasn’t on the ice.

That is a pretty interesting read with the various fancy stats used.

Have to admit: Hischier is a good player. He really is. Think Patrick is going to be very good, as well -- very happy with him -- but Hischier looks like a 70-point guy for a long time to come

- AllInForFlyers


Hischier and Patrick belonged #1 and #2, respectively, and both are in a different category than the rest of the draft. We're lucky we got one, it just sucks NJ got the other because.... Scott Stevens

Yep. I really thought car would get it done in the 3rd. They were really pushing.

We'll probably need to win out to keep the 1st wc. No one is going to help us out.
