He's let up other rebounds that were ugly also. Got that one crazy save after one.

Guys....were really going to do this. We’re really going to tank hard.

It is about maximizing chances to gain high ceiling players.

Being a bottom 5 team does that.

If you can't make a run, don't sweat the losing, look for the bright spots.

It's cliche but true. Who cares if G gets 70 points. Other than the team he SHOULD be on.

Hart and G are the only not one keeping them in games on a fairly consistent basis really. They're certainly heading towards a top 6 pick at this rate.

I want top 1, happy with top 3, not caring anymore for anything else.

Even if they end up at 6th overall or so ethi g I see them cashing in some of these long term prospects and moving up. Good chance we could end up with Kaako imo.

The Flyers look uninterested. Man that JvR and Simmonds look like zombies out there.

STL is the best structured last place team I’ve ever seen. Hard to believe they’re at the bottom of the conference. I’d trade their entire team for the Flyers in a heartbeat.

I would be extremely happy to land Hughes or Kaako, not really sold on Cozens even though he has been climbing, number 3 would probably be Podkolzin or maaaaybe Dach.

This season is a disaster, they need an impact player next year...not the following year or after that.

So triggered...

I swear if I have to watch JvR stand there in open ice as the play is going on for 4 more years I am going to become a Pens fan.

At this point Coots, Jake, TK, Simmonds and JVR just aren't bringing much.

Oh wait and everyone else.

This isn't the Eagles, you don't play zone defense. You HAVE to pick up a man.

Incoming Feanor with fancy stats that show Coots is the most untouchable of untouchables.

If the game started in the 3rd period and time ran backwards the flyers might actually have a few more wins.
