The Philadelphia Flyers currently sit at the basal of the Atlantic Division standings and are out of the playoff account appropriate now. Needless to say, things accept not gone the way anybody had hoped for the orange and black.
Who is to accusation for the team’s 13-16-1 record? This is no simple catechism to answer, because a amount of both centralized and alien factors accept contributed to the black 2013 season.
The division got off to a abhorrent start, and there are a few above factors that can be attributed to their accident the aboriginal three amateur of the division en avenue to a 2-6 start. The aboriginal is the lockout and the abridgement of accord accomplished above-mentioned to aperture night. They clumsily stumbled out of the aboideau and never absolutely recovered.
There were no preseason amateur and a actual bound training affected to adapt for the season. The Flyers are a actual adolescent aggregation and the abridgement of preseason absolutely seems like it has taken a assessment on them. Almost all of their best players are 25 and under. Matt Read is 26, but in just his additional NHL season.
Another above acumen for their early-season struggles were injuries. Three of their best players went down early; Scott Hartnell, Andrej Meszaros, and Wayne Simmonds were all alone aural the aboriginal brace weeks of the season.
Simmonds didn’t end up missing too abundant time, but Meszaros and Hartnell were both out for over a month. This acquired actual band ambiguity and a abridgement of adept administration on the ice. But even afterwards things acclimatized down and the division absolutely hit its stride, the Flyers could not cull themselves together.
Claude Giroux has to accept a ample allotment of the albatross for the team’s struggles. Humans may not like that, but his assembly has slipped a little and the Flyers accept regressed as a whole.
More importantly, that is what comes with the area now for Giroux. A first-year captain has to attending about the locker allowance and yield albatross if the aggregation takes a big footfall backwards from the antecedent season.
Sean Couturier is a able adolescent forward, but he has not been as acceptable as we had hoped this season. He has just two goals and 5 assists in 28 games, and humans say that he is a arresting advanced who shouldn’t be relied on for offense. That’s fine, but his minus-11 plus/minus appraisement needs to advance then.
But Couturier is still just 20 years old and will apprentice and get bigger with a accustomed offseason this summer. On the added ancillary of things, a few of Philadelphia’s adept assiduously accept not absolutely stepped up and charge to yield some blame.
Max Talbot, Danny Briere, and Ruslan Fedotenko accept not been as acceptable as they bare to be if things got rocky, and it amount the aggregation dearly. Briere has the team’s affliction plus/minus appraisement at minus-13, and Talbot has just nine credibility in 30 games.
A badly important (and now somewhat forgotten) agency is the Nashville Predators analogous the Flyers’ action to Shea Weber endure summer. GM Paul Holmgren knew his aggregation bare aegis and he went afterwards the bigger angle in the pond, admitting unsuccessfully.
Many admirers were aghast that there was not a acceptable plan B, but it is harder to criticize Holmgren because there were not abounding accordant options. Ryan Suter had no absorption in Philadelphia, and Holmgren banned to accord up Brayden Schenn or Couturier in a trade.
But a block of the accusation still has to blow on the abridgement of Flyers’ defense. It’s harder to accurately accusation alone players, however, because they accept put alternating appropriate effort. Meszaros got hurt. Kimmo Timonen is just old. Nicklas Grossmann is getting asked to do too much. Bruno Gervais is artlessly overmatched.
I’ve affected on it before, but the Flyers administration absolutely does assume to be defective this season, and it cannot be emphasized abundant that administration is aggregate in hockey.
No amount which way you cut it, Giroux has not been acceptable abundant this season. Kimmo Timonen is a acceptable baton in his own right, but is bigger in a adulatory role, and there just hasn’t been abundant cull from the top.
Peter Laviolette has to be questioned as well. He’s accepted as a ablaze drillmaster who gets a lot out his players, but there accept been abounding amateur area the aggregation looks awkward and effortless.
The Flyers accept struggled mightily so far this season, and while there is still time to about-face things around, it would be hasty if they fabricated any blazon of babble should they bastard into the playoffs.
A bit of bad luck cannot be overlooked, but neither can some of the acute issues on aegis and in commendations to the team’s leadership.
