Sean Couturier Part One: The Second Line Center

Sean Couturier Part One: The Second Line Center

May 26th, 2015 A little over a month ago, Sean Couturier finished his fourth NHL season. Despite setting a career high in goals and only being 22 years old, many fans are left continuing to question his offensive abilities. To be sure, the Philadelphia Flyers did not pick Couturier 8th overall in 2011 only to have him to be a "shutdown specialist,"...
5 Prime Candidates for Regression in 2016

5 Prime Candidates for Regression in 2016

April 28th, 2015 In 2013-14, it was the Toronto Maple Leafs. In 2014-15, it was the Colorado Avalanche. Everyone in the advanced stats community screamed that these teams were headed towards regression after enjoying strong seasons prior despite poor underlying numbers. Sure enough, both regressed to non-playoff team status. This year, there are no...
The Most Underrated, Overcriticized Flyer

The Most Underrated, Overcriticized Flyer

April 27th, 2015 There's no two ways about it , Sean Couturier receives way too much unwarranted criticism in the city of Philadelphia. His ex-coach criticized his offensive production and fans are already labeling him a bust, but is any of this really true? What is Couturier's Role? A shutdown center. There isn't any other words to describe it. In...
Flyers Backcheck: Flyers Sink Scoreless Streak, Sabres

Flyers Backcheck: Flyers Sink Scoreless Streak, Sabres

January 18th, 2015 It's always fun to see the Flyers score goals. On Saturday night against the Sabres, that's exactly what they did. Broad Street's team snapped a scoreless streak that reached eight periods with four goals in a 4-3 triumph over Buffalo. The Eastern Conference's worst team gave the Flyers a scare, but the orange and black were able to hang...
Flyers Backcheck: Never Happier After Loss to Carolina

Flyers Backcheck: Never Happier After Loss to Carolina

January 3rd, 2015 With everything considered, Friday night's 2-1 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes isn't so bad. Don't get me wrong, it's an embarrassing defeat. But we're becoming use to that sort of thing. What isn't domestic to us, however, is a Flyers team without Claude Giroux. The captain's third period injury put the impending loss to Carolina in...
Flyers Backcheck: A Beautiful New Jersey Beatdown

Flyers Backcheck: A Beautiful New Jersey Beatdown

December 12th, 2014 Remember that 6-4 loss at the hands of the New Jersey Devils back on Oct. 9th? Yeah, that wasn't going to fly this time. It was a New Jersey beatdown on Thursday night as the Flyers breezed past the Devils for a 4-1 win. The Flyers snapped a four-game losing streak to the Devils, pulling them to within two points of that ugly team from...
Matt Read's Evasive Start, Downright Confusing

Matt Read's Evasive Start, Downright Confusing

December 2nd, 2014 We know what Matt Read can do. We've seen what he's capable of. Entering the current season, the right winger's 111 points in his previous 196 games is the body of work everyone anticipated to continue. But since recording points in three of Philly's first five games, Read's offensive production hasn't been the only area of his game...
Flyers Continuing Same Old Game With Couturier

Flyers Continuing Same Old Game With Couturier

October 15th, 2014 This was supposed to be the year. It was the Philadelphia Flyers' plan -- put Sean Couturier in better situations to give him more of a chance to put up offensive numbers, like the ones similar to his time in juniors. Through four games of the young season, the team has shown an aversion to starting the the 21-year-old center out on...
