You didn't really make a point, dude. You don't believe the Flyers can win a round of the playoffs and that's fine. I personally, and I said it yesterday, think they can play with every team in the east but Pittsburgh. The playoffs are a different story, I know, but they seem to usually play well against teams that should beat them. This season, the Capitals are a good example.

I said I don't think the Flyers could survive a first round and have a list as to why...

So how did I not make my point? Every part of my reasons were on display last night

*lack of timely saves by our goaltending
*even worse defense
*Bottom of the league PK
*The inability in clear pucks out of the defensive zone.
*Bad coaching decisions

Argue it! Seriously, tell me how unrealistic I am. Try to do it without bringing up Brayden Schenn who leads his team in points and isn't playing with a possible Hart trophy candidate.

God you Philadelphia people are so strange.

People forget how much parity is in this league. Who had Ottawa in the ECF last year? A hot goalie + a confident team goes a long way. Usually the cream does rise to the top, but I doubt anyone would be around the NHL would be shocked to see the Flyers win a round.

It’s not like the Flyers were expected to be cup contenders this year and a 1st or 2nd round exit would be a devestating blow to Hextall’s plan.

I'm just one of those people that likes to wait and see what happens. I realize this isn't supposed to be a year they contend, but if they get in, let the games play out. I won't just assume they are going to get crushed every game.

I'll assume they will get crushed every game. That way, if they don't, I'll be pleasantly surprised.

i've said it before and i'll say it again, i'm always ready to burn down a church.

We need the Gerew, Cineckny, and Clootreeyay line to pick it up. And hopefully Mirakzeck can make a few big stops.

no joke, the avs pxp guy, mcnabb, calls him "gostabear". i yelled at them on twitter after the first period to tell him to get it right (as he did it all game long in the first match earlier this season) and he actually pronounced it properly in the 2nd period. then he went back to (frank)ing it up again in the third.

Your opinion is wrong. May God have mercy on your soul.

At the 2013 STH appreciate day, fans had to read off a card to see who they got for the jerseys off the backs. One girl who was in her early teens read her card and said "Seen Coyter."

I'm gonna keep things current while you guys struggle to. Cartoon posts and all...

George McPhee called Ron Hextall last night. Quick conversation. He said that he built a Cup contending in a summer.

Thank you guys, I'll be here all week.

cup contender does not mean cup winner

the sens big mistake was torching fleury in game 4. murray comes in and that's it. also, they lost in OT in game 7. one goddamn goal and....(frank)ing (frank).

anyway...do you see a hot goalie on the flyers? i sure don't.

Vegas took one summer

Hextall will be here five seasons as GM by the end of this season.

the only one who serms to be obsessed with schenn is you. last i saw blues werent gauranteed a playoff spot after being early season cup favorites. schenn will never be the best player on a team.

100%


It would be disappointing to see them flame out and miss the playoffs or get their asses kicked in 4-5 games in round 1. Mainly because of how good G/Jake have been this year.

I think we can force six, or seven games but watching Boston, Tampa and Pitt play. They're solid.

I think Toronto or NJ is who we have a real shot against.

not an equivalent situation.
