Daily News | Flyers stumble into success with Travis Sanheim-Tony DeAngelo pairing
Over the last seven games, the Flyers’ defensive pairings have constantly shifted, but there’s no real “scientific thinking” to it, coach John Tortorella said. The Travis Sanheim-Tony DeAngelo pairing is clearly working, though.
The coaches have noticed Sanheim has been playing more aggressively since getting paired with DeAngelo, and it’s something they want to encourage. Sanheim was already looking to push the offense, but DeAngelo has challenged him to push even more, both through encouragement and through his own play. “The way that we’ve been seeing the ice together with our puck-moving skills seems to be working ,” Sanheim said. “We talk lots on the ice and on the bench, and we both kind of think alike when it comes to on the ice, and I think that’s benefited us.”When Tortorella sees Noah Cates on the ice for morning skate, it bothers him. He took Cates off the power play for a reason — to cut down his ice time and his workload.
Cates has been one of the smartest players, so he doesn’t necessarily need the extra time. His offense hasn’t clicked yet, but Tortorella said he’s not worried about that. Cates also isn’t the youngest player at 23, but since he played four years in college at Minnesota-Duluth, he’s one of the newest and already has played a full college season’s worth of games.
