What has Craig Berube done, in terms of line-up changes, in terms of adjustments, etc to help his team in this series?

Again, no answer.

I am a little concerned with the lack of adjustment, but how do you adjust stupid?

Because there is no answer. I have said all year Berube is not a GREAT coach and he will not see 3 full seasons as head coach of the Flyers. Lavi might not have done much better this year but if he was coaching this series, changes WOULD have been made.

They're going to win, Joe. Don't worry
- funmaster18

The first 5 minutes will tell us. If they come out with some sustained pressure, look out. We've seen it before and know these guys can pull it off.

If they Rangers are all over them? Welp.

Not sure what to say
They collectively look awful

I guess I'd replace kimmo with streit on the top PP, but then they wouldn't have scored that goal.

Gill not really at fault there, Coburns pass was bad

If Mase doesn't steal the last game it would be all over by now

For all intents and purposes this game should be tied
- JoeRussomanno


Rangers deserve to be in front, but they are not invincible. The Coby bad pass is really a killer goal right now.

Rangers 3 goals on 16 shots. Berube needs to be fired. He clearly should have put Emery in by now.
- bird_dog_pa


Your kidding right? Blaming Mason.....he's the only reason they are not facing elimination today. berube should be fired tho just for the lack of ability to change the game plan and the fact he choose to put in a 39 year old slow as F$&k pylon Hal Gill....yeah the flyers aren't slow enough in their own end lets make it worse....coach of the year boys.

Flyers defense as a whole is complete poop under pressure. They wait and then pass it to somebody under pressure. They've gotten away with it sometimes, but not that time.

What about Gill missing a wide open net? Was he at fault there?

Laviolette got burned for having this team play a run and gun style, an aggressive style which they could not keep up with. So be it, but you knew you had an aggressive minded coach when you started trying to make this team into the Boston Bruins.

Berube has them playing more to their capabilities I will give him that.

Agreed all around. Coburn lost his mind in that pass. Id absolutely change up the PP. Can it get worse? Timonen looks lost at times today.

Berube has limited options with this lineup

The second line has been an unmitigated disaster
G is way off his game
3rd line has been competitive
4th line has been way outplayed

Bad bad matchup

That's my whole point. When your whole team is out of sync make it even mor jumbled by starting to mix up all the lines. Listen I am not opposed to making changes but man some of you guys throw it out there like the flyers will win the Stanley cub if Berube makes the just right line changes.

So glad you boys are talking about next season. I had no idea this was an elimination game.

Save your off-season talk to when it's actually the off-season. Thanks.

If giroux and gill bury those passes from voracek this is 3-3. Yes the rags do deserve to be leading as well... But i have not consumed any inebriating substances today and yet feel good about them going into the third.. Voracek is playing in fire today if his linemates and rest of the team for that matter get their heads out of their collectivw asses they can do this.

I jut have a feeling. They are playing scared and that's the problem. They came out strong in the first and just didn't capitalize on their chances. 2nd period they imploded.

They need to make better passes and win the dam puck battles.

And if Akeson doesn't get called for high sticking in game one, the Rags might be facing elimination today.

Funny how the game works.

Still plenty of time left. Plenty of series left. Put all the sharp objects away for now.

Agree, the blue line needs and will be retooled in the offseason. Really need a guy who can carry the puck and back the defense off (*cough Ghost *cough).

If the Flyers are to win, they would have a lot of momentum to close out the series in 6

Yes it falls on the shoulders of an aging traffic cone who played 6 games this year. IMO, Gil has zero to do with why they are losing.
