He said season 3 would be back in a a year, year-in-a-half. When they dropped Ep 1 on April Fool's Day, it was one year five months 30 days since season two ended.....they're the best

Tim Pinnochio, trying to stir up poop right up to the end. Pathetic, Timmy, just pathetic. Total joke.
- BiggE

He's an utter joke. I can't believe anyone is still paying the guy to do what he does. There isn't a more out of touch sports writer in this city. And that's saying something.

"The Flyers missing the playoffs cannot be pinned on their goaltending"
-Bill Clement

Sorry Bill, but woefully inconsistent goaltending for much of this season is one of the main reasons they are in the draft lottery. In fact, the only bigger reason is probably Giroux's ineffectiveness for much of the year.

Way too many players under performed this season though Giroux probably more than anyone. When a rookie Dman is the only player on the roster that greatly exceeded expectations, you aren't going to have a successful season.

It was all around ugly.

If the season were to carry on Weal would have to go 30 games of zero production to equal Raffl's year.

Pining it on one guy is stupid, imo. G bears a lot of the responsibility but so does jake or name anybody else. Really , the only players to play to expectations were 9 & 17

Typical media, when you have nothing real to report either make something up or stir up controversy where none exists.

He does. Postgame, we give a list of requested players. Claude generally is more forthcoming after practices in Voorhees than after games with the big-group setting.

You are becoming 2real, making statements to get a reaction.

Your posts are edging towards the list of posters that i skip over when reading on here.

- ggunky


Your characterization of my posts and my intentions are wrong. I dont care one bit whether you read my posts or not. You've now made numerous replies to me that have zero to do with the actual topic being discussed. It's clear what your motive here is. Any future posts you make in reply to me that are personal and not about the subject matter will be ignored.

Hope to you see you again in a Flyers sweater Steve Mason. I don't think Al Morganti knows what he is talking about.

I would say that woefully inconsistent team defense dragged the goaltending down with it more than the other way around for much of the season. That said, I do think there were also too many "not routine, but not unstoppable" ones that got through both goalies in Oct, Mason inJanuary and the Neuvirth portion of Feb ( plus his March start in Toronto).

I beleive that the poor team defense.is the single biggest reason this team has missed the playoffs. It's the one serious criticism I have of Hakstol. He never corrected the repeated coverage issues that plagued this team for much of the season.

It's revolting. Last time I leave a postgame on. Was doing homework and just kept it on for background noise. Is it always hot garbage like that?
