TrueBlueGED Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 IMO we should start a gofundme so Flagg can drop out of school, never work, and just make awesome hockey posts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsb Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 He's having an off year by his standards pointwise but he's also the only dependable faceoff Center we have. He's also been carrying Okposo so far this year but Kyle does appear to be coming around lately so maybe part of his issues was concussion related.

They really are good. And they've been getting better and better (and better). And I say that without blowing too much smoke at RF. For example in this instance, I found Scotty's post about what to do with ROR to be interesting as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 I'd like to believe this is true. My concern remains that he's too slow to keep up with the game as it's now being played With all due respect your honour, he was fast enough to play with and against the best players in the world as recently as last year on Team Canada, on Both NHL and IIHF ice surfaces. He’s not fast, but he can certainly keep up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Flagg Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 (edited) With all due respect your honour, he was fast enough to play with and against the best players in the world as recently as last year on Team Canada, on Both NHL and IIHF ice surfaces. He’s not fast, but he can certainly keep up. They put him with Duchene at the World Championships, right? One of the best skaters out there. His speed is definitely an issue when his wingers are Okposo and Pouliot. If we can get a faster roster it likely wouldn't be as big of a deal, right? Edit: I have liked the ROR-KO duo a lot better since Kane started playing on their left, one of the best two skaters on the team.

erickompositör72 Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 That sounds biased and untrustworthy. Is everyone measuring the metrics the same way. Shots seems pretty straight forward but when you start getting into quality of shots, possession, etc. I could see a huge difference from one statistician to the next. It cuts both ways. Skewed internal analytics would be a detriment to a team's scouting department. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsb Posted January 4, 2018 Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 Money from guys on this site?? He'll be living under a bridge and begging for coins on a street corner in no time. Keep him in school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pouliot is a pretty good skater, but I think the lack of overall team speed definitely magnifies the issues of guys like O’Reilly, Okposo and Larson.

Agreed. And I'm sorry dude, but I'm broken-recording Reinhart into this list as well. The issue then becomes how many of these guys you can afford to keep without tanking our team speed, and which players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My completely off the cuff assessment is you can have one average skater per line and be completely fine. Having 2+ is going to cause problems with some matchups though.

Know, your write. :P (seriously, agree wholeheartedly, one reason why I like Sam with Domi and Duclair) Edited January 5, 2018 by Mick O’Manly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
