He is on the Trade Briere bandwagon and trying to get his value up

wasn't called on Briere, so Harts made sure.

and at Avy/Location

let's see ... kill this penalty ... then get one goal every 2 and 1/2 minutes for the remainder of the game and we WIN!

Kinda surprised at your lack of irascibility tonight, I gotta tell you. I'm impressed.

i often come across angrier than i actually am. i've already accepted this group isn't a playoff team, but i'd like to see them start to eliminate the issues that have plagued them all season, even in a losing cause. that's the part that's bothering me more than anything. if anything, i think it's getting worse.

Skip, at the same time you give up JVR in a very risky trade. JVR showed to have potential to be a game changer.

Luke Schenn was always going to be a one dimensional d-man. Even at the time I think many of us saw it as giving up one of the best assets in a very arguable trade.

Holmgren should face a lot of heat here as well. He has made some good moves, but a lot of bad ones as well.

Almost sounds like this collapse is falling on one trade that made good sense at the time. Who expected to watch this right now??

Ah. FWIW, I'm not even remotely angry. I remember 2006-07, 1989-1994, etc.

They just don't have a good team this year. My biggest worry is that they miss the playoffs in a 9-10-11 spot. If you miss, miss dead last.

Luke is still maturing and will be solid and JVR didn`t have the opp at the time, great trade for both teams.

My thing is, and even at the time was that one dimensional d-men who are good in their own end are pretty easy to find. Look at how the team got Grossman for example.

Just me, but I think its pretty clear the team got burned on that trade. The bigger issue being, that Holmgren better do good this summer.

according to bill, the flyers haven't score a 3rd period goal the entire month of march, and not an even strength goal over the last 10 periods.

Devils are just dominating the Flyers. Man oh man.

the Flyers are being so dominated the score could be 15 - 1.

When was last 5v5 goal? Pittsburgh?

none in last 3 games for sure and none vs. NYR.

What the hell is Giroux doing tonight?

Lavy, Please pull Bryzgalov.

bad trade, but i have to put lavi front and center here for the lather, rinse repeat season we're watching...bryz has faded as well

Flyers are doing a good job collapsing around Bryz and protecting that 4 goal deficit.

They can't even get past the red line...

That aggressive system that they practice so much?

Cant even do that right. Man its hard to watch. They are being intimidated physically as well.

They are losing it.

is he playing?

Most important game of the season and this team comes out like this?

"Burned" is Sharp for Ellison or something. Maybe it turns out the Flyers "lose", but it won't be by a huge amount, if at all.

Lots of folks come across differently online. I've been accused of loving attention.

I just love talking puck and having a good time here.

It's been the same poop the last 20 years

Its not. Its just one move.

This collapse falls on many things. I really do hope next season is better. This one is hard to watch.
