Sad, at least back when they sucked defensively/in net, this team was fun to watch.

Andrew MacDonald fans can watch him play tonight as he was loaned back to the Phantoms and their game is on WFMZ, which is channel 515 on FIOS, and I believe Comcast carry it as well.

Nah, he'll get it going playing with his boy, VDV. I mean, that would get any star player out of a slump.

Depressing but they've looked very good of late. Everyone's on ice shooting numbers still look awfully low, like unsustainably bad. Still early enough in the season where Lady Luck can tilt their way. I will say this about Hak, not including questionable personnel decisions: when the Flyers play his system as they're capable of, they look damn good and can keep up with many good to great teams.

What a gripe-fest this board has become. The Flyers played for the third time in four nights and didn't beat the best team in the NHL, who were rested and playing in their own building. Fire everyone whose name starts with 'H'!

Hakstol has been handed an arguably worse line-up than the one that got Berube fired, with nothing close to an NHL-grade top-pairing pair on D and a forward group of mostly 3rd and 4th liners, and has them playing over 500 hockey for the past month. Give the guy a chance. It's been a whopping 2 months into his a career coaching a team we already knew is not playoff caliber.

End of rant.
