That’s a couple of hours of my life I won’t get back.

The Power Play, as everyone knows, is atrocious and has been for years. As I recall, under Tortorella, there was blame to the asst coach in charge of it. It seems as if there is more talent now, Zegras, Michkov, Drysdale, than in previous years.
Why is it so bad ?

Yes, Charlie…? On the power play. If the head coach can justify playing (most often) Juulsen over Andrae because he thinks it gives them a better chance to win, then HOW CAN HE POSSIBLY JUSTIFY NO MAKING SERIOUS CHANGES TO PP THAT’S OBVIOUSLY COSTING THEM GAMES & POINTS?!? Aaaaaaargh…….

Another vintage Vladar game wasted by a team with no offensive firepower especially on the PP which is embarrassing to say the least. Barkey is a warrior, he has definitely endeared himself to the Flyers faithful after this game. He consistently put his head into the fan and played hard. I wish all the players had his drive. As you stated, this team’s main problem might be their inability to hang onto the puck. Tippett looked like his all flash self in this one, he tried like Michkov but nothing to show for their efforts. Such a shame. Even the shootout was pretty weak and I was not surprised as they out-thought themselves there. Keep it simple and use your best moves.

We have young talented offensive players on this team that should excel on the PP. we have a coach (2nd in a row) who preaches defensive responsibility to the point that offensive players are overthinking their defensive covers, even on the PP.

I’d happily give up some shorties for the PP to get creative and just go for it. These young guys will learn to play D. Let’s not beat the O out of them along the way. Let MM and Zegras go for Michigans all game if that’s what it takes.

Another game of the Passing Ice Capades. Look at the pretty passes. Please shoot the damn puck for crying out loud! These guys couldn’t get the puck on the net even if they were allowed to throw it.
