I get annoyed when people describe Jody Shelley as shitty. The man has played in the NHL for 11 seasons. He is, by all accounts, a consummate professional. He works hard in practice, even though he doesn’t get into too many games. He is a class act (attended Boogaards funeral, volunteers a ton at schools,) stays out of trouble off the ice, mentors younger players, fights fair, and even scores occasionally.
by alaskalovestheflyers on Jan 24, 2012 6:44 PM EST up reply actions
I wish he was more disciplined on the ice though. I mean gasp, look at Cooke. I dont know that anyone is actually referring to the person Shelley as much as the player Shelley…
I guess I like him because he is who I want to be. I’m not the most skilled in my career field, but I try hard. I am a good coworker and team member. I stay out of trouble at work and in life. I try to look out for new guys/girls when they are hired.
Even in our adult hockey league, I am not that great, but I give it all I’ve got. I know my role and I try to fill it.
That sounds like Jody Shelley to me.
by alaskalovestheflyers on Jan 24, 2012 6:51 PM EST up reply actions
With realism…
This is the NHL, and he absolutely does not deserve the money he gets, and that is just a straight up fact. There are plenty of guys on the Flyers and across the league who make a lot less than him and have a WAY bigger positive impact on the ice. He serves no purpose other than fighting, which makes him useless. Not trying to be a dick, just saying you can’t justify someone being on a team because they’re a good guy if they are flat out terrible at hockey.
Occasionally aka once every leap year. He’s not good at hockey, plain and simple. He is also way overpaid for a guy who has little to no effect on games when he even plays. Doesn’t mean he isn’t a great guy, he just sucks at hockey. Probably one of the least skilled players in the league, and sadly that is no exaggeration. I like him as a guy but i would love to see him never play for us again, especially considering how much better we play without him.
What do you think of Harry Z’s long-term career options in the NHL? Do you think they exist?
IMHO, he’s not going to be an All Star, but I think he is vastly underrated. A great skater, decent hands, and tough as nails. I think he can stick in the NHL as a 3rd or 4th liner…hopefully with the Flyers.
by alaskalovestheflyers on Jan 24, 2012 6:35 PM EST up reply actions
Harry z looks like a career 3rd/4th liner, but every team needs a few of those.
by Anders Jensen on Jan 24, 2012 6:39 PM EST up reply actions
my only thing is i haven’t noticed his defense. now idk if i just don’t pay attention when the 4th line is out, or if it hasn’t been great or poor, but just my take.
i think he should always just do that insane jump halfway across the rink move from college that’s in that crazy video.
He’s not amazing defensively but he’s a great forechecker/grinder type guy who is Mendoza-fast and wins a lot of puck battles from what I’ve seen. Keep in mind he’s a rookie so he could develop into a top 6 guy, since he’s been a 4th liner all year we don’t really know what his potential is but he seems to have a decent skill set. I’d be interested to see how he’d so with better linemates,
That’s a good point, he could excel in dump and chase, then win the puck and feed Hartsy or Simmonds as they hang out in the crease. Might get more than a few dirty goals that way!

Exactly, I definitely think Harry Z could put up 40+ points with top 6 linemates, probably more like 50+, just needs the right guys around him. He wins puck battles on the dump and chase or flies across the blue line and could create space for playmakers with his speed.
We don’t agree on Shelley but it sounds like we do on Harry Z!

Yeah, I know his speed and tenacity and forechecking is a great plus. I think he could stick around a good while

Homer used to complain that Zherdev always used a car service to get to practice and to the WFC. He wondered why didn’t catch a ride with other players. Zherdev was very introverted. Seems like Alex Semin is quite similar.

Philadelphia Cryers – Will head into the offseason knowing that at least this time they will not need to address the need for a starting goaltender. Oh wait. LOL.
Washington Crapitals – Will at least be happy knowing that not making the playoffs means they’re more likely to win a possible post-lockout 2013 Draft Lottery and finally get a #1 pick who isn’t a bust!

I think that only does so much.
Our defense just is not that good. Coburn an Mez have been playing VERY below their abilities. Carle is a mess with the puck and clearing. And we have had some other awful fill in guys/just flat out youngsters on the 3rd pairing. Kimmo has been great but that kind of is a wash when you factor in the loss of Pronger.
We need an improvement personnel wise on D.
I think gus has looked good. bordon has already had a couple brutal turnovers

Yeah but Bourdon isnt the reason our D is bad. Pronger is a major excuse, but it needs improved. Nobody ever expected MAB to come in an be an all star. The brunt of the blame should be put on Coburn, Mez, and Carle.
Problem is now with all the injuries to our team, who the hell do they even offer up for a defensive improvement?
I am in full agreement when it come to a new D man, but I am not sure how they are gonna manage to pull it off.

Terry Gilliam who did the animation for the Monty Pynthon went on to have quite a productive career as a director. Time Bandits is a must (esp. before the fucking remake comes out.) and the Baron of Munchausen is fun as well. Period piece, magic realism. Brazil is in my opinion one of his best but not for everyone. It’s more of an art film. sci-fi /magic realism distopia allegory.

Bryz vs Bob
Honestly, Bob gives us the better chance to win at this point in the season.
But Bryz is here to stay and his 3 seasons in a row with over .920 save percentage is not a fluke (Only a handful of goalies have ever done that) so if he can get in a groove he honestly could win us a cup.
Why doesn’t Bryz start this game? It just shatters his confidence after a tough shootout loss, rewards brobrovsky with another struggling team, and if he did play in this game and did badly he could take it into the break and work on things. Instead he goes in with a bitter taste from a frickin shoot out loss
I don’t know why Lavvy picked bob. Does anyone have any idea?
I tend to think it’s not performance based reason. Just his turn. I say this because I thought Bryz was fine against Boston and obviously the two games he played prior.

you sure its not a fluke when it was under a tippet system? hes got mike smith at like .919

Yea I firmly believe the Bryz was a product of his system. This is much like people say about Broduer in Jersey (I don’t fully by this though). I think Bryz is going to be a lot of trouble for us.
Bryz- Save percentage of .920 3 out of 4 seasons in a row
Goalies that have not done that:
Broduer
Luongo
Thomas
Lundqvist
Price
Fluery
ROY! (That surprised me)
On a side note
Hasek did it 8 years in a row……
I could not find any other goalies that have done it but those two
by FlyersLeclair on Jan 24, 2012 8:22 PM EST up reply actions
Thomas did it in ’08, ’09, and ’11. And ’12, in all likelihood. And Lundqvist will also have three straight years at the end of this year. And Luongo has a pretty good shot at hitting three out of four. But whatever.
Incidentally, Roy didn’t do it because he played his career in a different era. He led the league in Sv% three straight years, with .900, .908, .912. Which is a lot more impressive than Bryzgalov ranking 7th, 10th, and 10th in a four year span.

FWIW, the two goalies to do that since ‘98 (arbitrary cutoff because that’s how far back my spreadsheet goes) were Cechmanek ’01-02-03 and Vokoun ’09-10-11. One of whom is part of the “never had a goaltender since Hextall” narrative and one of whom was passed up for Bryzgalov.
Interesting.

ALSO
Under Tippet:
LA Kings 99- .905 save percentage
LA Kings 2000- .900 save percentage
LA Kings 01- .910
Stars 02 – .920
Stars 03 – .911
Stars 05 – .898
Stars 06 – .911
Stars 07 -.908
Stars 08 – .895
Coyotes 09 – (With Bryz .922)
Coyotes 10 – .919 (Again with Bryz)
Coyotes so far is .918 but I think Smith is not going To like Regression
Also I meant Bryz has had 3 out of 4 seasons in a row with .920 or higher, one of very few goalies to do that.
How much is it the Tippet system just because Smith is doing well through 30 games?
Considering he has not historically been a high save percentage coach
All I am saying is that Bryz has confidence issues but he does have a lot of talent. Cup worthy.
Hell even with his blowouts to Detriot the last two years his save percentage is .917!

Hi all!
I just read the TastyKake discussion above.
I didn’t know I could get them on Amazon! (But I shoulda known…you can get anything on Amazon)
I’m about to order my first taste of Philly! Seriously I’ve been hearing about them for over 30 years! So what are the best ones for a TastyKake virgin to get for her first taste? The butterscotch & jelly ones like you were talking about? Is there one that’s considered a “classic?” (I’m allergic to peanuts/peanutbutter.)

You can also get them from TastyKake directly, too. Dunno how the price and/or options compare.

Considering Vorachek isn’t exactly in Kreider’s good graces…dunno. But he’s a good designer and more than capable of rising above it.
I like Flying V. That’s cool. I also liked Jake the Snake but he’s not overweight nor balding so that dosen’t work as much.
