Ok, I got to get this off my chest. I've never seen the Flyers play as bad D as they have during this latest stretch of games. It's like they play a totally inferior system compared to all other 29 teams in the league. Im surprised I havent heard anyone here mentioning Gord Murphy and his impressive (sarcasm) resume as a D coach (FYI 8 years with a putrid BJs and 3 years with the Panthers). To believe that the results will be stellar with 3 untested and/or below-average coaches is totally mind-blowing to me. And does the Flyers even promote/push skate-training on their players? I seriously doubt it.

The Hurricanes are a bad team, but the Flyers are doing what they need to do against a bad team. Good period for the O&B

Yeah, its amazing how bad they can be with six norris candidates in their lineup. Just pathetic coaching.

There is nothing in the history of Earth's celestial rotation that has shown me Couturier has any sort of offensive ability. None.

Couturier has 7 points in 6 games because he's smart enough not to pass to Umberger

Worse than the Devils. They could very well win McDavid sweep stakes

Not sure how much they can do with this D, but to say this coaching staff is getting the most out of these players is wrong IMO

Agreed. Not please with a lot of things. Solid victory Thursday and this game should be a given but the way they lost Tuesday and so many games prior, it's a huge concern and can't be placed all on the players. Being at the Detroit game, it was really embarrassing. Mason being pulled when he was seems like a really poor decision.

Last time I checked there were two D and three forwards on the ice. How come the flyers keep getting outnumbered and being one step behind on every play in their own zone? They are playing a totally reactionary style of play, which obviously results in being hemmed in their zone for long periods of time. A lot of it is on the players but isn't some of it also on the D-coach?

Interesting that the NHL would make a deal with Epix.com considering it doesn't look like Comcast carries the channel.

Great look by Simmonds to find Voracek.
