This team.

Its crazy... in the offensive zone it looks like all of our guys are being smothered... but in our zone it looks like their guys are all wide open...

If they skate the puck in and shoot the puck for a nice easy save one more time i'm shutting the game off...

to compound it, no one is going to the dirty areas and fighting for rebounds, screens, or deflections. i understnad they dont have hartnell and now simmonds but they werent doing it before. wy isnt knuble just parked in front?

Pathetic really.. is this team really this bad?

That's gotta be a coaching problem, no?

No effort. From none but maybe 3 FW, our goalie, and some D
Very depressing. What happened to this team? They were full of speed and energy last year. Couts. Schenn are clearly going through a sophomore slump (relax people, Drew (frank)ing Doughty went through it as well), Voracek has been our worst player so far, then add in Hartnell being out, Danny just getting back...

It's a mess right now. A big (frank)ing mess

The speed thing is standing out to me.

I dont believe they are this slow up front. They just seem so out of it. I think it may be too much pressure on Schenn and Coots, and they dont really have much of a supporting cast other than Giroux or Briere.

The way Schenn got manhandled by Carlson behind the net on that one play isnt acceptable. Its one thing to lack the skill overall, but the effort needs to improve.

We need John Stevens in here. He will work with the kids and make them better. And then in 3 years, we can fire him again.

The too many men penalty was just lack of effort and hustle. If the guys leaving the ice would have skated the whole way to the bench they would have been off in time.
- kej83

also a bit of stupidity for G (or whoever it was) to shoot it back across the blue line toward the open bench door when he has to know players are going off and coming on.

He isnt the fasted guy.

When the Flyers actually get a little bit of control in the zone you see him being effective. When the team constantly shoots pucks into the other team or just gives the puck up so easily you are asking him to play a transition game.

Then a few years later trade them all away? Columbus is salivating at the idea.

Same issue with the Rangers. Torts and Lavy aren't getting it done so far this year.
Swap?
