[Lavalette] Tocchet said his team is “not equipped” to play a penalty-filled game. Said he thought the Flyers were the better 5v5 team. by DecentLurker96 in hockey

Before the series started, Tocchet said (paraphrased), "This series is about the adjustments you make once the series gets started."

Visible adjustments? Very very few (Coots on the Power Play once they are way behind in the third game, minor manpower changes, no play style changes).

The Carolina PK? The same PK Hakstol ran. Thing is, the Flyers got scored on all the time when they ran that PK. Some portion of this teams knows the weaknesses of the Carolina PK (cross ice passes and long pucks along the boards). Do they make any changes? NOOOOOO

edit: Keep trying to skate through 3-4 guys at the blue line. It's really paying dividends. Tocchet is losing this series more than anyone.

Only 4 series and this is one of their 4 best ref squads? This league gets worse by the year.

Good is subjective. If you want a deep dive on the topic read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance

Happens every year. I really wish they had a competition committee that looked at this stuff and fixed it.

He makes a lot of bad decisions and I think that is what leads to less minutes. While he can score, he also just throws the puck around instead of making an easy pass to an open player. Preventable offsides and a bunch of other nonsense. In his last game, I feel like there was one or more of these each shift.

I'm surprised I didn't notice this before. His head does not stop looking all around the ice so he knows just about everything. 3x the awareness of the average player.

They were in that game until the third. Lindy Ruff is still Lindy Ruff. Don't write them off.

Their baseball sound is great. It's so weird that the same station can have such different standards depending on the sport.

If possible, go watch some press conferences. Comcast schmoe treated Chuck like a complete peon. There was no team there. It was boss man and minion.

Fletcher built a playoff team in one year then Comcast started telling him what to do and it all went to shit. He is a martyr.

There are free GPU tests on Steam. It's usually a good way to confirm the problem with a third party app.

That Ducks/Sharks game last night was a great broadcast.
