poop

who knew that this team would look so inept without Rinaldo in the lineup?

Berube's head is about to explode.

the Toyota Turning Point of the Game was the opening puck drop.

'bout time

Anyone else find themselves giggling at all the little things that are going wrong tonight?

Well, the Rags, Laffs and Isles are losing, so that's good

Carolina's winning, and that ain't good

The Sens are tied, so we need Tampa to do the right thing and win that in regulation

Of course, if we weren't getting plowed right now, life would be a little better all on its own

the lack of effort and inability to make any smart plays is infuriating and embarrassing

yep ... they've been almost comically bad the last couple of weeks.

A strange brew of ineptness, slowness and piss poor luck.

the effort would look a lot better if they had some speed and quickness.

It's like they're trying too hard to not (frank) up, so they (frank) up anyway.

G is a good player, but I'm not sure if he is a good captain. I know the lack of 60 minute effort has been a problem for the Flyers for years, but I put that on the captain and the other leaders on the team. I just can't handle the lack of effort. Does anyone else wonder what this team's identity is?

Bad defense, dumb penalties.

Even pronger couldn't change that poop. The problems this team has are bigger than the captain.

I love a good comedy of errors.

The Flyers emphasized strengthening their defense core in the draft last year, taking a defenseman with their first two picks. I hope they do something similar in the draft again this year. They're set at forward for the next decade or so, but their D is flat out terrible. In today's NHL the free agent market isn't what it used to be with all the big names changing teams often and even more so with defenseman. That puts even more emphasis on the draft instead of rebuilding an area of weakness through free agency. I think they'll make a trade very soon, but there just isn't a quick fix for this defense. As much as I wanna see the Flyers defense broken up and re-shaped because they're so God awful; they're only going to get better through the draft.

Bad defense, dumb penalties.

slopnell takes yet another stupid penalty and people still want him on the team

Flyers continue to chase fools Gold. Absolutely they've been much improved after a horrid start. However, they are not a cup contender, which is the standard the team should aspire to be. A year too late, but be prepared to maximize the return on players not expected to come back.

Yes but the lack of effort is a big problem. If they could play a full game instead of a period or two, it would go a long way.
