I forgot. Bob was the only one on the ice when they lost. Makes sense my dude. Keep up the great analytic work. There is a reason why Richards and Carter got traded. The whole team shut it down after the All-Star break. Anyone who watch the Flyers knows that. To blame only Bob for getting ‘free points’ (never knew there was such a thing in the NHL) is asinine. Either way, Bryz is the starter now. Bob has a chance to develop.

im saying that bob might not have necessarily done anything to get into overtime. but since, he did get into OT, he got a point for free. Thats cool, but then he went on to lose 8 of them. So if you were to ask your buddy, oh did the flyers win last night, and they lost 2-1 in OT, you would say they LOST the game. Hence why I lump them together. the main point is that he got 8 points just for being in OT, and he left 8 on the table by losing, and gave the extra points to other teams.

What are you talking about? Bob’s 13 reg. losses = 0 pts. The 8 OTLs = 8 pts. The difference is the point. You can’t lump RLs and OTLs together because of the point difference.

its more like, those eight game that we got to overtime, we were going to get the 1 point regardless. its 8 times that he could not get the 2nd point

Yea but those core players weren’t taking us anywhere. You don’t trade away your Captain and Assistant (why Carter was one, I’ll never know) unless there is something(s) that suggest that they are a lost cause. Remember that. People don’t look at it from that POV. Ed Snider knows more than us fans do. There were things that were going on that we may never know of. And of course Richards will deny it. Those two moves were forced moves based on the attitudes of our so-called leaders. I can’t say we are any closer to a Cup, but I applaud the Flyers for admitting that they made a mistake and are willing to make a change for the betterment of the organization. Only if other teams in the city would follow that example.

It’s not essentially 29-21. Those 8 OTLs equate to 8 points. And I’m pretty sure the Flyers had to go to a tie-breaker to win the ATL division over the Pens. We don’t get those 8 points, we end up 5th in the conference instead of 2nd. That’s just a little bit of difference wouldn’t ya say? Don’t twist the facts my dude.

29-13-8 really isn’t that impressive. It’s essentially 29-21, so he won slightly less than 3/5ths of his games.

Ed Snider may want to win the cup now, but his moves in the offseason indicate he has no interest in winning the cup anytime soon. I’m a huge Flyer fan, and I’ll admit Bryzgalov is a huge upgrade, but Jagr is ancient. And they traded away two core players and received prospects in return. Maybe some of the young guys will step up and they’ll make a run, but it doesn’t look good on paper to me.

I don’t think he be the number 1 guy based on Broz’s contract

Bob is the man. But he seemed to have problems ‘finding the puck.’ There is no denying his talent. But Ed Snider wants to win the Cup now. Patience is a virtue. But the Flyers haven’t hoisted the Cup since ’75. Based on what we have seen, Bob should be a stud. The question that remains to be answered is when he will reach stud level and stay there.

As much as I despise the Flyers, Bob seems okay to me. Hopefully someday he’ll escape that pit of douchebaggery that is the Flyers organization so I can root for him to succeed.
