He's the big ticket UFA. That's why he's getting talked about. You know this.

Screw everyone. This team is legit terrible.

- hereticpride


His pending UFA status has squat to do with why he is talked about. That's BS. They're losing as a team. With few exceptions.

In other news, players are reading canned responses for post-game interviews and JvR is showered wearing knit hat ready to leave.

so it's okay to call our Giroux for his lack of "leadership" every day but god forbid any of you ever say anything bad about Simmonds.

That was last season's excuse. He's cooked.

He had major surgery. My guess is he wasn't 100% to start the season and playing has made it worse.

Flyers really playing well now. They are almost at the top spot. The top worst spot that is. They are just behind the sens. I believe they can do it. Almost the best at being the worst.

Sens gave away their first round pick! 😂 😆 😂

Hope Fletcher has a plan ready to go soon....this team won’t be drawing flies shortly. You have to have pride in your organization, your teammates and your fans. Can’t blame your coach anymore, you already cost people their jobs. Honestly I would call up some kids and give them a taste....at least they’ll show some excitement to play,

I cant even get mad anymore.

Apathy has already set in within the arena.
Apathy setting in for me.
I just dont even care anymore right now.

Was so excited to watch the game tomorrow night and still am because I get to watch OV play. I literally dont care what the Flyers do tomorrow night, next week or the rest of this season.

LOL. It's as if Simmonds is the only player who played poorly and has been playing poorly. It's a broken record. What did Giroux do tonight? Simmonds has been routinely scapegoated.

What about the true golden child of this team?
Anyone ready to call out the almighty Coots yet?

Ok updated counter, around 24 more points to lose until they have to win all games to make playoffs.

If this is true, shame on him and the team again for having him play through it.

I actually won't be surprised when we hear a couple of players played through injuries.

I’ll gladly say it....Simmonds is going through the motions. He’s (frank)ing embarrassing. But is he alone ?

He's been pretty edgy recently and the studio group has ripped this roster. I think the broadcast crew knows the time to put lipstick on this pig is over

falling down in his own zone with not one person within several feet and sending the puck to absolutely nobody and doing nothing to get back into the play. it's beyond embarrassing.

Any offensive threat the Flyers had Giroux was pretty much on the ice except for some chances Voracek created out there. Simmonds did nothing at all tonight in the o zone.

I think the Flyers brass had it right about JVR the first time he was here.

A soft player.

Keep Giroux, Provorov, Sanheim, Konecny, Patrick, Hart. Everyone else should be available.
- FreshFlyer

I agree, but I’d add Ghost to this list. 65 points last year, that’s big time!

Giroux is a PPG player this season and leads the team in points by 14. Simmer has 18 pts in like 45 games. Their performances this season are not equal
