I also wonder, (going back), if anyone would give you a 1st for Coburn, right now.
He's really struggling, and should be way better than he's been.
I wouldn't sell him off for anything less.

What would Winnipeg give the Flyers? They need D help ASAP. They do not want to fall out of playoff race. That franchise needs to make the playoffs.

They had all top 4 D men out, & looked no worse than us, I think that says something.

You watched them last night, while I disagree with it because it lets the players off the hook, they played like the coach should be fired

I would be doing my best to move guys first, but last night was really bad

It was horrific. The Devils even stopped trying to press after it got to 5-0. I think they had one shot in the third.

That was the worst part -- I didn't care about Jagr or Gomez, or The Flyer Killer, scoring

What was horrifying was the fact that a bad team could have named the score last night

Even booze didn't help last night. Hell the French put up a better fight in WWII than the Flyers did last night, pathetic

Have to teach them to skate like they give a (frank)ing poop first. Doesn't matter what system you play when most of the team is just going thru the motions

Not to say it should have, but I was surprised to see he wasn't fired this morning, with Ed as the owner & all.
It was that bad.

i'm glad i didn't watch. i was at the bar with a buddy watching the steelers and lobos basketball (not by choice there).

it's got to be hard for some of these guys to go to the rink every day now, and old man snider must be ripping what's left of his silver hair out.

I don't understand how berube is handling who plays and who is benched I think this has been his biggest mistake so far this year. How you only hold a few guys accountable and let the rest continue to play blows my mind. L schenn, mdz and Vinny have been the whipping boys all season. They play scared to make a mistake because they know if they do the next game they will be watching. How do you bench a guy for 10 games and then have him come back and be on the power play and play more mins then the rest of the d. Vinny has played fast and has looked good for the last 5 games or so but still plays 10 mins a game. I just don't get it.

They do seem to be in a death spiral...we could see a shake up move soon. Devils could have easily made it 8-0 had they kept pressing

the fact that, again, i kind of forgot the flyers were on, let alone playing the devils and i went out for the night watching football and basketball is mind boggling to me. i don't even know who i am anymore.

You're developing apathy. I make candy with my kid during the second and third periods.

Once Jagr got those first two goals, there was no question in my mind he would get the third.

The other thing that drives me nuts is that this team plays so soft anymore and that is coming from the coach. I don't need to see a staged fight every night but up until last night they have played like they don't care. They don't have anyone hitting or playing tough.

It's going to be hilarious when they play St. Louis and Brodeur shuts them out again just for good measure.
