That's crazy talk. They're not paid to score but to occupy space.

yeah, but too much dead and semi-dead wood on the 2nd and 3rd lines.

Vinny looks like a slinky out there

Giroux is a bad leader if they lose

I didn't, nor did I ever think of calling it that

well, that sucked ... but it was also 100% deserved.

happy Thanksgiving everyone ... see you next game.

Berube did a good job, sent out Simmonds as the extra skater instead of Vinny.

Props, Chief

RJ seems to be on Read's side of the ice at all times.
He really is a Zombie

Agree, simmonds was P'D tonight. I thought he played with heart ( one of the few aside from 1st line)

Woo! Baby steps!

Seems like once Detroit got that first goal that was it. Those first couple of minutes in the first was about the lone highlight for me. I was yawning for about 52 of the 60 minutes.

They just have to put slinky, zombie, and Rinaldo together play them for 7 minutes and cross their fingers. Can't spread them our anymore it's dragging everyone down

Umberger: 10:07

Rinaldo: 10:19

Laughton: 15:05

BSchenn, Giroux, Voracek all over 20.

Streit leading all skaters with 25 minutes of ice time.

Giroux is a bad leader if they lose
- PhillySportsGuy

Ha! Yeah.

So, let's see...if my math holds up from the weekend, in the Flyers' last seven games, they've been shut out twice and scored 14 goals total

Giroux and Voracek have either scored or assisted on 11 of them

If I saw that from another team in passing, I'd just think they were slumping

But nope. I watch this team play, and it's not just the fact that only one line is scoring. It's the fact that only one line looks like it's capable of scoring

Somebody needs to figure this poop out in a hurry, and I don't mean the kind of figuring out that leads to putting R.J. Umberger on PP1 for even a nanosecond

For some reason this year it seems like so many teams have gotten better, and yet for some reason we remain stagnant if not worse.

Seriously. Think about it for a second.

In seven games, or 21 periods, or 420 minutes of hockey, a minimum of 18 people have figured out how to score THREE GOALS without the help of Giroux and Voracek

That's laughable -- Jannik Hansen had a (frank)ing hat trick on Saturday

comeau had one tonight

Kaleta got pasted to the boards from behind.

Normally I'd be angry at the dangerous hit, but I'm ain't even mad

They traded a top 6 forward for a 4th liner and they lost their best defenseman.
