The Flyers are probably set when it comes to roster moves and trades, but that doesn’t mean we won’t be here tomorrow as the 3 p.m. NHL trade deadline arrives. Beginning at 12 p.m., we’ll have a live discussion thread here for all the deadline talk. At 2 p.m., I’ll join Frank Seravalli from the…
We recently looked at how balanced zone shifts compare a player against his peers in their ability to shift play from one end to the other, as judged by where shifts start and end. Why not do the same thing with shots? After the jump, I’ll describe a new balanced Corsi metric that compares a…
Given that I haven’t been able to publish any of the scoring chance results for the first two playoff games as the script used hasn’t been providing the information needed, I decided to look back at the results from the last seven games of the regular season. The chances have been broken down into even…
We’ll get to breaking down this first round playoff series between the Flyers and Sabres soon enough (like, later today), but first, there’s some important business to attend to. We’ve taken some suggestions in the comments and on Twitter, and in the poll below, you can select your favorite. What should be the new BSH…
That’s kind of a loaded headline, I know, so let me explain myself. The Flyers have 69 points through 49 games this season. They’ve averaged about 1.41 points per game, so with 33 games left in the regular season, if they continue at that pace, they’ll grab about 46 more points. That would put them…
It’s been awhile (two and a half months) since we’ve checked in on the Flyers VUKOTA projections, so why not check in now? The season is just over 75% done, so this will be the last time before the end of the season. To see the post talking about the original predictions, head here. To…
The Flyers already have the best record in the Eastern Conference, and if the rest of the schedule has any bearing on where they finish, it looks like they might just finish in that same spot. According to some fantastic data put together by Dirk Hoag at SB Nation’s On the Forecheck, the Flyers have…
Eastern Conference Quarterfinals — Series tied, 2-2[Box Score] – [Full Series Coverage] – [Game Page] – [Buffalo Reaction][Shift Charts] – [Head-to-Head TOI] – [Corsi and Fenwick] – [5-on-5 Faceoffs] There’s no doubt about the difference in tonight’s Game 4 between the Flyers and Sabres. Ryan Miller was absolutely brilliant, making 32 saves to secure the…
No doubt that Kris Versteeg is excited to come to Philadelphia. You see a lot of these videos where the player is sad to leave, even when he’s leaving a bad club. Besides a mention of having a lot of friends in Toronto, Versteeg focuses just about the entire interview on talking about the Flyers…
Yes, I’m hoping for a distraction from the HOLY CRAP THIS TEAM STINKS stuff that we’ve been suffering through lately. Patrick Kaleta of the Buffalo Sabres was running around like a mad man on Saturday afternoon. He caused havoc behind the play, in front of play, in the middle of play and just about everywhere…
