You call that trying to keep up with his guy by Tippett. Coverage in 4 on 4 is man to man. Sanheim was shading his check. That's all on Tippett.

Agreed and Torts was barking at Tippett when he got back to the bench

Bull$hit! Shading his check? His check being the guy at the blueline? Are you serious? Yeah, Tippett lost his check obviously, but Sanheim was right in the vicinity to make a play on it and he did nothing.

It was tips fault but you could see what he’s thinking, both Dmen did not have to float so high. 3 on 3 man on man is much different than 4 on 4.

He wasn't thinking. It was all on Tippett. 4 on 4 is man to man coverage.

Yes, learn the sport.

9:08 remaining and goalie pulled lol

His whole season has been like this. Last I checked TB was 31st in SV%.

(nvm, they're up to 30th lol)

Whoa. Off year

Did they seriously pull the goalie?

I just said it was tips fault. But you can certainly pass off a guy. Both D were in no man’s land floating in the middle, not doing anything. It’s on Tipp to recognize neither guy was clearly ready to trade up his check.

Maybe they figured, “what’s the difference?”

Empty net with 9 minutes left? Nerds taking over the game

I don’t hate it

I don’t think there is any stat or analytic that says pulling your goalie at 9:08 remaining is a good plan

I don’t hate it

I just hope Frost buries a goal here

Hathaway just dumped the puck into the corner from the dzone haha

Can frost complete the neutral zone assist hat trick?

Give it to Ersson!

This is getting comical

They weren't in no man's land. Both defenseman played their position there correctly. There is no switching in man to man 4 on 4 coverage.

Flyers proceed to play 9 straight minutes without touching the puck

Did you see his sick passes?
