He cant force the guys to sign the deals he puts out. I appluade his ballsy moves.

Anyone who wants the team to grow together has to understand a young team will have growing pains. Kneejerk reactions are not the answer(, Mr. Snider).

I think this is where the focus should be. On the part time 6/7 defenseman. Clearly he is bringing the rest of the team down, and ruining an otherwise solid effort from the team.

Last game they were tired, what excuse you spinning tonight?

Fun stat: No one on the team is above 40% in faceoffs right now

Is anyone above 0%?

Is anyone above 0%?

4 people are above 0.

Trying hard and failing is still failing.

Homer is just as much to blame as lava imo..

Im not saying fire them for christ sake.. jesus guys..

He can't make Nashville decline that offer sheet.

He can't make Parise sign his contract.

He did everything in his power to make this team better. I don't know what else you could ask for.

Have fun. Least you have Stamkos and Carle.

I would call this team awful but that's a insult to awful teams. These guys are about as boring as it gets.
- bird_dog

I don't think teams are respecting the point on the PP because our d is average, but overall it looksvery tentative and out of synch.

Just zero creativity. The puck on the outside the whole time. Voracek needs to assert himself. Just accept a pass on the sideboard, look at the net, and then pass it back to the point. he's not even making himself a threat. How about the Flyers just get the puck to the net, and outnumber them down low. There's one player getting offensive chances this game, and that's Briere.
- MJL

MJL, I couldn't agree more. You got guys unwilling to get involved, guys that look very unconditioned. I just refuse to believe the team speed is this slow. It has to be their conditioning. Long story short, no jump, no creativity, no speed equals no scoring and losses. Can't blame the D and the goalie. This all falls on the forwards. Do they know what back check is? Do they know how to kill penalties. Hey Voracek, Talbot, and B. Schenn, if you don't want to play then sit out and let guys like McGinn get in.

I'll do the same as I always do. Look at the game and make an informed and accurate description of what I see. As opposed to scapegoating one player, just because I don't like him. Especially when that player is at best the 7th defenseman on the depth chart.

Please, we know you're out Gangnam stylin' all night long

Don't see Homer getting axed or Lavy, but who gets the blame for the PP/PK? The assistants?

at this point I think I would bring a ghost in

I'm going to start scapegoating posters here. It's like throwing food into a piranha tank.

If they're still playing like this after another 4 or 5 games, Laviolette will be scouting and Murray or Paddock will be the coach

- Flyskippy

I don't know about Laviolette, but if I were coach I'd pull the 'ol locker switcheroo. Works everytime

Sooooo...he failed because he didn't trade half the team for Weber?

He failed because Nashville matched?

He failed because he offered Parise the most money of any contract he had on the table? (allegedly)

He failed because he didn't bring Carle back for best-dman-on-the-team money?

Homer did everything he could this offseason, in my opinion. He may have "failed" but he sure as hell did all he could to make the team better.
- Giroux_Is_God

I don't hold Homer responsible. He gambled on exactly what the Flyers needed without gutting this team and it just didnt work out. But this team still has the talent. Need some more pieces and we are set up for a nice offseason. I sacrifice another two months for a good pick, Corey Perry, and more.

since they are recycling, why not bring Hexy back

I always thought the Flyers played better when they play on the edge, with physicality and a lot of emotion. I also thought that having both Sestito and Rinaldo in the lineup would have a nice trickle down effect on the rest of the team.

boy, was I wrong. This team is LIFELESS. Overall this might actually be a worse game than Sunday vs. TB.

He could have banged Suter and Parise's mothers in the greater philadelphia area back in the 80s.

He could have. He should have.

Who's going to replace Timonen? Who is a defensive prospect that we have in the farm?

Answer: Hopefully a Free Agent

Is Voracek even on this freaking team? He brought nothing all season! This team looks so bad right now I dont even want to hear about D, this team cant buy a goal right now.

Time to bake a (frank)ing cake. Fill it with jam. Cover it with jam. Unveil it to the locker room behind a curtain made of jam. Bring Jacque Lemaire in to throw a (frank)ing jar of jam against the wall. Rename the team the Philadelphia Jams.

2013 Stanley Cup winners, Philadelphia Jams.

So you guys don't root for a second team?

I'm the only person on earth who roots for 2 teams?

Un(frank)ing real.. focus your rage on this poop team and their poop effort...
