Can someone remind me why Luka isn't in the conversation for MVP?

Oh well!

On this play, quick adjustment by Jiricek who was about to hand it off. But defender for Prov got aggressive trying to anticipate. So Jiricek kept it himself knowing the lane opened for him. Snapped it upstairs using the d-man reach as a screen. Yeah, he's good.

Team got closing lessons from Danny. You saw the results.

@JoshDavis1465 @TheLibertyYell Pretty much!

@SuitableAlias @TheLibertyYell So a young Bouchard?

Jiricek is extremely good with the puck. Basically everything the current PHI defense core lacks. And it's a real difference maker if you simply accept the occasional headache he'll give you.

Absolutely wicked hesitation and drag here from Jiricek. Plus the shot placement? Superb play. He’s been lights out.

Watching him make a crazy aggressive read that leads to an embarrassing chance or sometimes goal against.

Assuming you mean in terms of raw goals against in all situations: Ottawa: 14th Toronto: 31st Philadelphia: 15th Vegas: 20th Boston: 22nd So, one could argue more of a correlation exists between winning defensive zone faceoffs and allowing goals rather than preventing them

Jiricek assist 👀

@goalfarabee86 How does this correlate to goals against specifically? (I'd imagine not at all, but it is more interesting than W/L)

Top teams in defensive zone faceoff percentage: Ottawa: 57% (will miss playoffs) Toronto: 55% (bad team, will miss playoffs) Philadelphia: 53% (bad team, will miss playoffs) Vegas: 52% (should make playoffs) Boston: 52% (meh team, might make playoffs) Faceoffs. Don’t. Matter.

BRAND NEW EPISODE TOMORROW WITH @SuitableAlias . #126. - Do you actually think they’ll make a on serious push for the playoffs? - Dan Vladar continues to show he deserves a continued looked in Philadelphia - Luchanko and prospect talk - Knuble signing his ELC - Alex Bump has been fun to watch - Michkov back on the right side for now - Questions from the listeners And a lot more!! #Flyers

Imagine if he had 5 months instead of 5 games lol

Tyson Foerster is doomed then lol

Trading Zeev for him and only getting a third-rounder in the process was definitely a choice. One guy was a steal at 11, the other guy was a reach at 12. Still, he was *their* guy all the way. I think they have to show conviction and build his value.
