MacDonald was dumb enough to try and get fancy behind his own net, but what the (frank) was Matt Read doing? He stood there as Zucker got in front and scored the game winner.

That was atrocious.

Luke Schenn was also there.

the entire defense should be embarrassed to cash their paychecks this month they are terrible

Read used to be one of my favorite Flyers ...

now ... not so much.

Its hard to be angry, when its what you expected

They were a mediocre team at the start of the season, add a couple injuries and they're just bad

This team is making the playoffs.

In Read's defense, I think everyone every where was shocked.
- SuperSchennBros

Can't be shocked. Have to play defense. The puck went out to the point, Read had all the time in the world to pick up his man, failed to do so and the Flyers lose.

Should have figured Zucker was gonna bend me over after I talked nice about him

this team plays hockey like Homer rides a bike

Outside the top line, correct

it's no secret on how to beat the Flyers ... just pressure them in their own zone, and they're bound to cough up the puck.

it's been that way for years.

i dont know what his deal is. i still believe in him.

Luke Schenn was also there.
- MJL

well luke schen just sucks he is a one dimension D-man and should have been shipped out of town long ago ... another in a long list of Homer mistakes

Bad decision, make the safe play. But when a turnover happens, need to have coverage. Wide open player at the net. How many times has that happened?
- MJL

I get that but I think everyone was shocked! MacDonald with under a minute left shouldn't have took it behind his net. His first game back when he was iffy with the puck to begin with, he took things upon himself and (frank)ed up huge!

- AllInForFlyers

i do see your scouting was pretty spot on. i like him.

Stupid way to lose a hockey game. Can't cover a point man, and can't cover a player around the net.

I don't think they were shocked, they just blew the coverage.

This team is making the playoffs.

I don't know about that

not playing like this ... with this lineup.

- flyer186

At least that dimension is defense. He was fine tonight.

- AllInForFlyers

Yeah. Schenn was there, as well...actually Schenn is the one that released Zucker.

not playing like this ... with this lineup.
- FlyerGuy

They're going to play better. Lots of hockey left. They have a lineup capable of making the playoffs.

Homer sitting there at the ceremony so proud, he sucks

At least that dimension is defense. He was fine tonight.
- SuperSchennBros

yep a fine spectator on the losing goal just standing there like a pylon him and Read 2 pylons to skate around

Bottom line, yet again, fundamental breakdowns ruin a good overall effort.

not playing like this ... with this lineup.
- FlyerGuy

as far as i am concerned the only 2 players that should be untouchable right now of our main roster is Giroux and Jake the rest should be worried and get ready to pack their bags

I don't think they were shocked, they just blew the coverage.
- MJL

They were in control of the puck and than in a blink of an eye our advantage was gone because of a brain fart by MacDonald. Believe me, I hear you but MacDonald forced the blunder.

- FlyerGuy

Honestly they played well enough tonight to win more often than not. Especially if it's Mason playing in net. I don't think Emery played poorly tonight but his rebound control was pretty terrible. Him not being able to freeze the puck when he has a chance to was partially the reason for at least 1 goal tonight.
