Ah side effect of living in a small city
I lived in DC and the DC area for quite awhile. DC is tiny. Relatively speaking Doylestown would be 30 minutes from town not an hour. Like tonight I wanted to go to this show but given the game was on, plus it wasn’t a must see band I opted to stay home. There was a time when I could walk to the club. Or if I was in Tacoma Park or Arlington, it would have only took 15 minutes.
If I had the money I’d move to Northern Liberities in a heartbeat.
Ah, now I understand your comments from the last game thread.
I was born there, raised not far away.
yeah a bit of hyperbole on my part. It’s quite nice actually. Interesting how elements of urban industry, small town intimacy and agarian society mix. And honestly I haven’t really explored it in depth either. Though there is a kick ass record store, tha’ts like an actual l “I can flip thru the 7 inches” record store in town and it’s pretty committed to quality music.
Isn’t the idea that she and Nicholas Cage have to find you?
Simon Gagne AND Mike Richards may move between towns, wear new jerseys and call different arenas home but, at the end of the day, they will both always be Philadelphia Flyers.

Your hill involved me using a nickname I choose not to use. If you’d like to draw a line in the sand on a different issue, feel free. But two players with completely different styles of play, priorities, work ethics, relationships with their coach, etc shouldn’t be considered similar simply because of some sniper ability.

i would never think to compare them. skating styles, how they use the ice, work along the boards, their play with linemates. i can’t really see any similarities.

This drives me nuts.
The guy played literally about 3-5 games on the fourth line and somehow people got it in their heads that that’s how he was used last year.
His most frequent line was Zherdev-Giroux-Carter. His second-most-frequent line was Zherdev-Richards-Nodl. Next was Zherdev-Carter-vanRiemsdyk. Next was Zherdev-Giroux-vanRiemsdyk. Then Zherdev-Richards-vanRiemsdyk. Then Zherdev-Giroux-Powe.
0.73% of the time, the Flyers put Zherdev-Betts-Shelley on the ice. It was an experiment, not something people should be remembering as standard.
@BSH_EricT

what????
where are you getting this info from? maybe things started that way, but zherdev was quickly bumped to the 4th line/press box. THEN when the flyers were pretty much done lavy would put him out with giroux hoping for goals

Agree with you, but Lavy is a very results based coach (as Geoff pointed out to me recently). he wasn’t hard work on every shift, in every practice and so on. Z never did that, and though I still probably would have played him, Lavy didn’t.

that’s going off in a different direction (especially given that this started with a question about how similar Zherdev and Couturier are).
The question of Zherdev’s use was a regular back-and-forth topic here last year. You can argue that he shouldn’t have spent as much time in the press box. But you don’t have so much of an argument if you’re basing it on how he was used when he was in the lineup. It’s the latter argument that Eric’s link stomps on.

like i said like 2 posts down.. he had a decent stretch with carter and giroux then everything went downhill along with those linemate percentages

It was February when Mikefive suggested a nickname for the Carter/Giroux/Zherdev line, so it’s not like all of his play with Giroux was early in the season. I’m not going to argue that Zherdev was used properly by Lavy, no way, but it wasn’t like Z was never given any more chances with decent linemates ever again.

Just to be clear, I’m a big Zherdev fan and think it’s ridiculous that he got benched. And that Zherdev-Carter-Giroux line was indeed outstanding.
It’s just this one thing about playing on the fourth line that gets me, because it really just happened early in the year but for some reason it stuck in people’s heads like crazy (you aren’t alone by any means in this).

So on a line rush he should be where? Further out? Most goalies will be right where he is. If the original shot had gone through, he was right where he should have been. But in under a second the puck goes off two players, the first almost a direct 90 degree angle where you lose sight of it, then comes directly at the goal but two feet left of where you are expecting it, what size does he use to stop the puck?

Bryz is a "loose" goalie. He's not compact when needed and not quick
The team does not play well in front of him either, kinda reminds me of how the team played when Boucher was in.
I've been holding back a little
But while I was in the ‘send Sean to juniors’ camp earlier in the year – I think the Flyers have got his individual development pretty right so far.
He’s spent the first half of the season slowly getting used to the NHL life and everything that comes with it while playing in a primarily defensive role and being limited to around 10-12 minutes a night. Now that he excelled in that situation, he’s gradually being given a more offensive role. That’s pretty good prospect management.

Just back from a swim meet, how’s the game so far ( I see Scooter scored! yay!)?
They took me out of Philly and sent me to Indy.

Flyers unlucky in their goals against, playing largely flat though. Bright spot is the good play from the Couturier line.
Simon Gagne AND Mike Richards may move between towns, wear new jerseys and call different arenas home but, at the end of the day, they will both always be Philadelphia Flyers.

He has 1 point- a secondary assist- since the Blackhawks game. Not sure what’s going on…

im not sure whats better.. splitting up the talent or putting the top guns as your first line. i wouldnt call hartnell a top gun at all since i dont like him lol and cause giroux is carrying that line and its showing

yup, they immediately pounce on jagr cause hes the slowest one.

Sometimes the Flyers seem completely unaware that there is another team on the ice. It’s like they play with no idea what they are going to do with the puck. Like other teams are going to give them lots of time and space to skate and then find a man to pass to.

Frustrating game all up. Worried about Giroux’s play recently. We can’t afford for him to become invisible.

Yeah, I’ve been wondering if somethings wrong with him. It’s unlike him not to show up on the scoresheet with regularity. Is he injured in some way? Is it Jagr not being 100%? Or something else?
You’ve been impressing me lately w/ your savvy for statistical analysis. What do the numbers tell you?
Haha I’m still pretty new to the stats stuff. Today the team was +17 Corsi (likely due to score effects as we trailed for a long stretch of the game) but Giroux was only +1. Jags was +5 and Hartnell was 0. In comparison, Talbot was +10, Briere was +10, Couturier was +9. Giroux also started in the offensive zone more often than the defensive zone so that didn’t create the problem. I think it’s safe to say he struggled to push play forward tonight. I’ll have to look up the other 3 games.

ok.
he faced 24 fucking shots all game. Let’s not get all into the different ways he isn’t a bad goalie. He is terrible right now and he definitely was, on a limited sample size, tonight.
by RealSantaClaude on Jan 14, 2012 10:36 PM EST up reply actions
Never mind that all three Nashville goals tonight were completely unstoppable. Why bother letting facts get in the way of a good slam, amirite

Not a chance you can pin this loss on him, and I definitely wouldn’t go as far as saying he was ‘terrible’ tonight. At least 2 of those goals theres no way he’s gonna stop. If something like that status is all you have to say after a game like this, wake up.
by Clutterbuck4MVP on Jan 14, 2012 10:39 PM EST up reply actions
whoa whoa whoa whoa.
I am not pinning the loss on him. I’m saying that even though his bad play did NOT come in to tonight’s loss, it doesn’t mean he’s fixed anything.

Shoot me if I’m wrong, but is it too early to consider splitting up the Jagr, Hartnell, Giroux line? They havent been all that great lately, maybe it’s time to mix things up.
Hyka'n it up a notch.
Any idea how you’d wanna shake it up?

Couturier
Now has 8 points in 10 games since being given better linemates and more offensive opportunities.
He is also now 1 point and 1 goal behind Jeff Carter’s totals for the season (although Carts has sat out more games due to injury)

Carter may no longer be comparable this season what w/ his separated shoulder. Carter’s season might be over now.
Yeah you’re right. I enjoyed Couturier/Voracek to Carter comparisons but it’s less fun now that Carter isn’t going to be building on those numbers.
