2 things need to happen, and this team will be looking good.

They need a top 5 pick
They need to keep benching Vinny

Even RJ has held his own out there without Vinny in the lineup

Moving albatrosses like Amac would be gravy

I'd be shocked if Vinny plays another game as a Flyer. Hope he has a nice comfy seat in the press box.

The Flyers are currently tied for 12th in the conference with the power house Buffalo Sabres. I'm not going to bother to do the math, but I'm pretty confident in saying that when you are in 12th place in a 16 team conference in the era of the shootout, your chances of making the playoffs are somewhere between slim and none.

The Flyers are actually 13th in the conference. But that doesn't mean squat. What matters is where they are in their division. And they are only 6 points out of a playoff spot, even as badly as they've played. That's not insurmountable at this point of the season.

The game really opened up after the first period.

Yeah, RJ got one. Will it wake up his game? Have to wait and see. I don't have high hopes.

he looked as dumbfounded about it as everyone at home did

At what point to you except that these players aren't good enough? You can maybe make the argument that they are miscast but its hard to say they can play better when they have shown no evidence of that. As far as last year goes, they struggled to make the playoffs and that was with Timonen. This team looks exactly as many thought it would without Timonen; like a dumpster fire in and getting out of their own end.

Aren't good enough for what? To win the Cup? That point was recognized before the season started. Flyers have plenty of good players. They just have a bad mix, and have some holes in the roster. Even with that, they are underacheiving, and they have the roster to be a playoff team. Wouldn't expect them to make a run, but they can be a playoff team. Lots of reasons why they've struggled on breakouts. Not all of it has to do with not having Timonen.

Yup, if they get the top pick this board will go crazier than Amanda Bynes at a rave!

For myself, I've finally tired of this team being 'good enough', or making the playoffs but not really being a legit threat to win the cup. I'd rather stink in the short-term to become a contender in a few years; I'd rather not make the playoffs for a season or two while assembling a team that has the makings of a dynasty.

I can dream, right?

Oh Man
I am confused as to what to do, hope they turn it around or hope the orange tank rumbles like a failed blitzkreig through the remainder of the schedule
