Only got to catch the 3rd. Safe to assume that was the best period?

Thinking your connection but basically it shows the sequence where the Flyers got rocked by multiple hits with MDZ being the only one that initiated.

Yay cup of oatmeal team.

I don't care about that.

I care that they suck at ice hockey.

Is the Buffalo game the only one they've won since both Coburn and Grossmann have been out?

Where's the dynamite at? Light a couple sticks and blow this thing the f up. Also call up whatever guy in the a who actually has balls and pride and give him 1st line minutes. Hell we almost give that to rinaldo some times.

What's up with Bob? Is he hurt? Or is that wallet a bit too heavy for him?

love Martin and Clutterbuck. What a 4th line. Unbelievable the slop we put out. Every game is like the lunch lady serving up more sloppy joes

I dont even know what to say right now.

1. Couturier is a -5 and the excuses are there "it wasnt his fault". At some point its okay to say he had a bad game.
2. The PK is the worst of any team in the league in the past 20 years.
3. Simmonds , disappears once again, at ES.
4. Berube appears to have the fire and passion of wet sand.
5. The D is atrocious. Streit would be a great number 3 dman but he is playing number 1 mins.
6. Nothing about this team seems intense. Nothing. Its horrible and I dont know how you fix it. Maybe we should keep throwing lukewarm cups of oatmeal out there like lines 3 and 4.
7. Carlo got hurt.
8. I cant think of a single thing that Matt Read brings to the lineup right now that warrants his still being in the lineup.

Read, Couturier and Umberger a combined - 14......that's a rough afternoon of work. I thought Couts and Read got a plus when VDV scored...but they just were coming on the ice to congratulate him....lol

Things that aren't the problem with the Flyer right now:

1.) The fourth line.

Things that are the problem:

1.) Slow, terrible blue line
2.) Underperforming forwards.

This Flyers team lacks talent to the point where blaming their woes on the constitution of their 4th line is like looking at a brutal car accident and noticing the air freshener in one of the cars was bent.
