In my opinion, this is a typical "hey they're in the playoffs, let me write about them today" article. This guy is a joke. Anyone who pens an article that only contains the words "culture change" for the entire piece is a clown.

For all of the Penguins are superior talk, they finished 2 friggin points ahead of the Flyers who struggled in early March and when through a 10 winless streak.

Yes, the Flyers may lose this series, they may win it too. But this team's future is bright.

Yeah, that guy's a douche. Can't believe he gets paid to write that trash. He's the same as$bag that wrote an article yesterday, stating how immature Flyers fans are because they put pictures of Crosby in the urinals at the WFC, so they could piss on them and that it has been done elsewhere in the league, so it's even worse because it was unoriginal. He also detailed that the reason Flyers fans hate Crosby is due to jealousy and that he's essentially Bobby Clarke, but better.

I'm going to have to disagree here. The two points is an illusion of parity here. The Penguins are more than "two points better" than the Flyers. Like it or not, it's true.

Flyers have completely changed the "culture" over the last four years. I did not read this article. Don't feel like I need to though. The Pens are more talented and the Flyers are half a team right now. Losing to the Pens sucks but it is not the end of the world. Barf can't believe I just typed that.

That's just dumb. The reason Flyers fans don't like Crosby is because he's not a Flyer. The list of reasons starts and ends there.

Bill, hate to nitpick, but pretty sure Ghost scored a PP goal versus Washington (Game 4, I think) in 2016.

That's a bit presumptive. Sorry, but that has nothing to do with why I don't like him. There are plenty of other players in the league that I wish were Flyers and he isn't one of them, regardless of how good he is...

LOL I'm sorry but if you're saying you wouldn't take Crosby on your team, you are absolutely delusional.

I can not stand the "Crosby Sucks" chants.

Really? He sucks? Well he just lit the team, you are supporting, up for 4 points in a single game.

Yes I cringed when I heard that on Sunday. Crosby is a lot of things. Sucks isn't one of them.

I'm that way about a guy like Marchand but, no, I'll admit that were Crosby a Flyers player I'd love him.

Not nearly as bright as it should. Our prospects are much better than in the past and more plentiful, but there are so many glaring holes on this team that every single one will need to pan out in order for the future to be bright enough to matter.

Do I think the Penguins at this time have more talent? Yes. My point about the two points was that the Sielski acts as if the Flyers are light years behind the Penguins. The series is 2-1 for goodness sake.

Illusion or not, they were only 2 points behind and that is a fact. I'm starting to think this Sielski guy may be a poster on here.

Nah, shed a little dead weight on the 3rd/4th lines and get a better goalie and they're good to go.

Sielski has had an axe to grind against the Flyers organization for years, he has no credibility as a journalist and I don't even bother reading his drivel any more.

Crosby's a douchebag would be the more accurate chant, but it just doesn't roll of the tongue as well.

Unfortunately I had to learn that the hard way by reading his garbage the last two days. Needless to say, I will be skipping his nonsense from now on. Not like Charchidi or Donnellon are any better.
Also, can some from Comcast please can Michael Barkan or at least prevent him from being involved in Flyers broadcasts!

I'll stick with Meltzer
