Couturier and Adam hall - 72% and 80% on faceoffs.

I'd leave Gill.

Maybe if they played Guss more during this season, but he has been developing in the press box.

Just switch up the forward lines. You have to do that.

Not me
I'd go with Gus

When your offensive options are useless like the Flyers are right now... why not roll the 4th line?

Couturier, Giroux, Hartnell, Schenn, Simmonds, Read, Raffl have all been black holes in this game.

Man flyers are falling all over the place
- bird_dog_pa

Yeah. Every time a Flyer makes a play they're hit and knocked down. Too bad the Flyers aren't returning the favor.

Flyers look tired and small against the Rangers.

They're getting beat up.

HOw can this team play so well in that 10 game stretch towards the end of the season, and then turn in a consistently mediocre effort in this series.

Other than Jake and Akeson, who has shown up every game on this team?

i wouldn't call this even a mediocre effort. i think you're being kind. they've been (frank)ing awful, pretty much from top to bottom through 5 games with the exception of a few players, and a few plays here and there.

TJ Oshie getting the most out of his Olympic appearance. Who thinks he would have gotten a sniff of a endorsement if not for the Olympic shootout lol.

they're getting nothing but a much deserved loss today. this game is a (frank)ing disgrace, and one frankly i'm tired of seeing far too often in the playoffs year after year.

I was just thinking this looks like the devils series in '12.
And the bruins series in '11.
And the Pens in '09
And the sabres in '06
And the senators in '02.
And the SAbres in '98
And the red wings in '97.

wow, what a great chance was. let's all chant the goalie's name for making a stomach save on an unscreened shot from 60 feet away.

I wonder if Patrick Roy would be putting in Bordeleau down by 2 with 5 minutes left.

You know what that means though?
Ed Snider is going to do some crazy stuff at the draft.
Like make homer trade half the team away for Chara.

If his other players were doing nothing he probably would because you can't play your black holes 20 mins a period.
