Draft lottery... so I doubt it.
- mayorofangrytown



Yeah, they're going to mess w/ the odds again too, right? Right in time for the Flyers to get 1st-overall IN Philly w/ a stud dman available.

If they do, they'll get the #1 pick in the draft.
- bradleyc4


I've watched maybe...15 other teams already this season, for at least a period or more.

Of those, the Flyers are the worst I've seen. I haven't seen Buffalo yet, and they're 0-3 as well.

But I'm just being honest: The Flyers are playing the worst out of any team I've seen.

I think they can recover. I'm looking for lots of energy tomorrow night...and our first win.

They have to turn it around right now. It's on the players.

Also, a lot of people are shocked by Scott Laughton's current point production. As a few have said before, he belongs in the AHL. The age rule is dumb.

there should at least be a system in place where a player could petition for an exemption to the rule

They really aren't that talented. I believe the team is working hard. They just aren't able to win board battles or put together succinct passes to leave the zone.

Maybe it's the system, but they don't have much in terms of puck movers.

- PhillySportsGuy


But they really are. They might not have a Crosby or Ovechkin, but only 2 teams do. They have a Giroux.

Look at these guys. All top picks. Voracek, Schenn, Couturier, Schenn. These guys do have the talent, its getting them into a system that can exploit it.

... and this is why there is a change of coach so early.

So Berube is coach for "multiple years" and this "doesn't mean the players are off the hook".

Holmgren didn't like what he saw from day one of training camp.

Interesting stuff. I guess we'll see how things shake out.

We'll see. I don't think the mix of players is right. Things can't get worse can they?

Tim Thomas is undefeated in Philly I believe. Granted that is with the Bruins playing in front of him. These are the Panthers.

A loss tomorrow night, and Berube should be fired.

Yup. Hopefully the competitive spark gets lit for these guys...if not, they're the joke of the league this year, and who the hell wants that?

Still stunned they didn't move Vanek and Miller over the summer, though I realize both of those contracts are tough to move.

But I can easily see them being horrific, especially if Miller's already got one foot out the door.

Ahem, the Borg assimilate other species, and add their qualities to the collective. The more apt comparison is obviously the Klingons from Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country.

Craig Berube is going to be on Hockey Central at Noon on the fan 590.

Philly sports radio carried the press conference and it's all Eagles now. The Fan 590 is nothing but Flyers hockey.

Take away Coughlin's two Super Bowls, and the guy has been a complete bum.
