Devils and Flyers have 10.

Rangers and Pens have 7.

You would think they would even it out more.

I thought our schedule was bad.. NJ's is much much worse...

Chicago Blackhawks have had 2 back to back games thus far this season as well..

Vs the Coyotes (kings night before, won 5-2)
Vs the Red Wings (CBJ night before, won 3-2)

They beat the coyotes 6-4 and the red wings 2-1, in overtime!

Why aren't the Blackhawks exhausted like we are?

I really need to do the counting at the beginning of the day... waiting till 6pm to add things doesn't seem to be all that great for me

Well you got one right.

Honestly, when you're talking about stretches of 5 games in 8 or 9 days and such i think b2b carries less weight. Everyone plays alot.

The ducks have played 1 back to back game... won in a shoot out... against the predators... but lost the night before 5-0 to vancouver...

I think b2b games as excuses to not even show up is embarassing. I'd rather complain about the refs then admit i was "too tired" to play.

Sabres have had 2 back to backs...

Won the first one against Toronto 2-1 the day after beating us...
Lost the next one vs Carolina.. Carolina and Buffalo had b2b games as a home and home... cool idea... buffalo lost both..

There are certain systems that our system doesn't match up well against... TB/NJ/NYR are the main 3 that i can think of...

Tampa has a hell of a team and a hell of a coach down here.

BTW.. this weekend was Gasparilla in Tampa... its like Tampa Bays mardi grai... maybe the boys went out too late the night before?

Have you seen San Jose play this year?
Their PP would score close 100% against this Flyer PK.

Flames 0-1 in B2B
Carolina 1-0
CBJ 0-1
Dal 0-1
Det 0-1
Fla 0-1
Min 1-0
Nash 1-0
NYI 0-1
NYR 0-2

Eh i'm bored.. throwing in the towell

We struggle against SJ too... but i think that has to do with their team size.. they seem to out muscle us to easily...

I think our board play is bottom 10 in the league. If you can't win consistent puck b attles on the boards you're gonna have tough times winning games in this league...

Add on top of that the complete lack of defensive effort and you've got a team that smells

This Couturier for Subban talk is ridiculous. Couturier is a better defensive player than Subban is lol

I hope we aren't over valueing Coots... but i wouldn't trade them straight up for one another...

I really believe Coots will be something special in this league... i think subban will be a top 2 defender on a bad team.. top 4 on a decent team. I don't think he can do what he does with other teams.

That talk can be put to bed. Subban agreed to a deal with Montreal.

Maybe we can get a real defenseman now...

What were the terms of the contract?

2 years, no $$ announced yet.

Subban is a real defenseman, would easily be the best defenseman on the Flyers had he been traded here.

Not a defenseman i'd want on my team.

Being the best dman on the Flyers is like being the skinniest fat kid at fat camp...

Yeah, who would want a 22 year old all star defenseman who is among the fastest skaters in the NHL. That would have sucked.

Teams must not have wanted him that bad.. no one pulled the trigger on a trade.

Subban would be the best d-man on a fair amount of teams, not just the Flyers.

In your opinion.

Montreal probably demanded a massive return. There's probably a lot of teams that asked about him.

Top dmen with that speed and talent should bring back a massive return no?
