I just came across the following in today's Delco Times:Well, Stevens didn’t go to Home Depot as promised, but he did hook up a plastic "Shooter Tutor" to help the Flyers get their shots higher into the net.
The device is used frequently in youth hockey, but is hardly ever seen employed with multi-million dollar athletes -- which should say a lot about this Flyers team.
Stevens employed a competition to see which player could net the most shots in a row on the Shooter Tudor.
The winner of the event? How about Ben Eager with five straight shots.
No knock on Ben, but if he’s winning accuracy contests, the problems are far worse than even the Flyers brass might realize.
Call me crazy, but the last time I checked the object of the sport of hockey is to put the puck in the net. This being the case, shouldn't the Flyers - a team notorious for shooting high and wide, or more frequently right into the goalie's chest - be using a tool like this more friggin' often!?!?!?!
