Perfect another backup goalie shuts out the flyers. Thanks

The site is a dying!

Maybe it will fix things if they fire the GM and coach again?

This season has defeated me

We need some line changes and certain players to get going.

I would try (when Patrick is back)

JVR-G-Jake
Raffl-Couts-TK
Lindblom-Patrick-Wayne
Weise-Varone-Laughton

Maybe swap Laughton and Raffl, idk.

I’ll say again. I felt the Flyers stayed with the Canes in the first half of the game but unfortunately we allowed a couple of soft goals.

I don’t feel like Hakstol or Gordon has tried everything. The Flyers looked to have had something going with a Raffl-Couturier-Konecny line forcing pressure at the end of the first period against the Canes last night. The next shift featured JvR-Giroux-Voracek where they drew a penalty. Gordon never revisited this and our play trailed off as a game went on.

Raffl is a hard working but he’s not gonna cut it with Giroux. Both Hakstol and Gordon have had an obsession with keeping G with Konecny. Why wouldn’t put our most highest paid and proven players together in Giroux, Voracek and JvR? As a proven scorer, why wouldn’t you try Simmonds with G to see if Giroux he’ll cover up the flaws Simmer has.

It just seems so odd to hold Lindblom back on the fourth line or mixing Raffl or any bottom six play with Giroux.

I’m not seeing much line juggling or shortening of the bench. No urgency. I’m not seeing much of any creativity or intelligence.

Simmonds is what he is at this point. Linemates aren't going to make him any better.

Ultimately theyve already tried about every combination of players here. It's beyond that. This roster is deeply flawed and changes will have to be made.

Im actually with you at this point.
Not overly skilled, not overly fast, not overly tough, not overly mean, average at best goaltending, all the young players have regressed.

Hexy really screwed the pooch on this one.
Fletcher isnt doing much to make me feel better.

It's all good..2 years from now they will be something!!

Everyone trying to make line combos with this hodge podge of players is wasting brain cells. There is no answer for this group of players.

I've been saying they're two years away since 2011

Fletcher is probably trying but no one is trading for what he wants to sell

Closed door meeting where they talked about puck luck.

Jesus Christ.

With 12 forwards there are 81 possible line ciombonations. The Flyers have only tried about 60 of those. Do you think if they just keep juggling a bit more they will find what you are looking for? Maybe there is more to coaching than infinite line juggling.

Blow it up.

Slaughtered again

Dont even know what to say about this team or season. In some ways its worse than the season which shall not be named for me. Mainly because expectations were higher.

I see a team with no confidence from individual players in themselves, or each other. A fragile group with no idea what to do.
- MBFlyerfan

06-07 was better because the players at least fought

Source close to the flyers messaged me saying that JVR was overheard telling Fletcher he definitely isn’t hurt.
Fletch asked why do you say that and JVR responded just letting you know.

I wish I’m goofing.

TK just said there are "so many positives" to take from these games.

Uhhh what.

As much as this season is horrible I'm waiting for the inevitable Provy for someone who is 31.

Meanwhile Coots, Jake, Simmonds, JVR all keep plugging along doing nothing.

That kid in the Nissan commercial looks like Nolan Patrick and it's freaking me out.

PK is much better. That's it.

Bet Nissan is disappointed with him also.
