A 1-5-1 team on the second night of a back to back against a well rested team and this is the outcome? Pathetic.

A undisciplined, brain dead team that can't score, or stay healthy. Very entertaining.

Changes, they are a coming. Anyone who thinks an 80 year old owner is going to sit back and watch this perpetual poop show has to have their head examined.

You are thinking more along a trade or new coach?

I dont think you could bring Ghenkis Khan in here and expect better. No system, or new approach is going to fix this. They to me, just dont have the weapons. Unless they can get good value now, wait till the summer to make changes.

Like you though, I dont expect Snider to put up with it much longer.

Look at it this way...with the lockout, we don't have to watch this team an entire 82 game season.

we're on pace for a 12 - 36 season.

Check him out.........This will be a really solid draft in my opinion.
- ob18

Best draft since 2003.
Ive kept on saying this for awhile now, and I stand by it: 10/30 of the 1st rounders will be in the NHl for the entire season, 15-18/30 will get Atleast 1 NHL game
I know it's crazy, but I truly believe that. it's such a great draft
Not a draft to be trading your picks

NJ will forfeit their pick likely due to the fact that they host the draft in 2014 (or is it 2015?). NYR traded theirs to CB. I have a sit that shows all the draft pick transactions, but I will be very pissed of Homer trades our 1st pick this year. Idc if Perry or Ryan is coming the other way, keep that pick. Unless a Doughty/Weber/Pietrangelo (none of this will ever happen) is coming back, don't trade it.

A coaching change will most likely be the first domino to fall. And as soon as Sunday if there is another loss tomorrow.

I like Laviolette, but he's made some curious moves to say the least. How is McGinn a healthy scratch in NY, and on the ice in the last minute of a must win game? Those two things don't really jive.

Let's see who Homer will be on the phone with over the next 24 hours - Maloney, Murray. Changes are a coming folks, the front office won't let this season go down in flames without doing nothing. It is a reality, it is just a matter of when and whom now.

At the present time it is unwatchable. Every game is like a continuation of the game prior.

I think the Flyers wait it out for another 7-10 games before making any changes

Wait Devils hold THIS years draft? I thought it was next year
And so you're telling me, if Homer keeps this years 1st round pick, Flyers will have 4 straight years with their 1st round pick!?!?

That's gotta be a Flyers record

The entire team needs to find an extra gear. Washington did and was the desperate team in the 3rd period. There are a number of players that they aren't getting enough from. And the blueline as a whole was poor tonight.

from the playoffs of last year, but even less interesting. and the key players are dropping like flyers. first hartnell, then meszaros. now simmonds. it's a (frank)ing poop show that never (frank)ing ends.

The Flyers usually keep the 1st rounders and trade the 2nd rounders

Im afraid Homer goes stupid and forces a trade for Perry, and trades Couts
Then I will be even more enfuriated
