I find it funny how end of game Simmonds comments triggered him even though there are pages of me bashing the 3rd and 4th line all game

Points are points for this depressing word problem.

They have 36 points. To get 95 points they need 59 more. There are 80 points available. 80-59=21

so, in about 12 more games.

Look! I was trying to make it seem brighter and now you have to bring logical equations into it...

Fine...21 freakin' points, happy! They will be officially out by 2nd week in Feb.

Giroux didn't come close to scoring and goal or setting one up. He did not play a good game along with pretty much the entire forward corps.
- MJL

yes, i agree. but Simmonds was completely useless and has been a major problem all year long. at least Giroux was back on the play covering for the defense a few times and actually looks like he's trying. this isnt some witch hunt to run a good player out of town, it's a legitimate observation of objectively terrible play by a guy who is supposed to be a huge part of the heart of this team.

the whole team is a mess but Simmonds is beyond bad right now.

Giroux had a bad game but is having a good season
Simmonds had a bad game and is having a bad season
We give G more lenience because for most of the season he has been the entire offense. Simmer has been bad the whole season, so we lost our patience with him

Edit: I have also lost my patience with Weal, JvR, and Voracek. To me Jake is right up there with Simmer

I don’t think it matters anymore who’s responsible for this poop show. Hopefully the new GM can get this thing going in the right direction....build a team with a strong identity and get rid of guys that don’t buy in or don’t fit. I could careless who they trade at this point as long as it’s done to make this organization stronger.

Giroux has been guilty of lazy plays and poor efforts on the back check all season. In the Calgary game it was his bad change that led to the Gaudreau goal. The entire team is dysfunctional. Yes, it is a witch hunt to run a player out of town. After every loss he is called out repeatedly. The team has lost what 6 games in a row and is at the bottom of the NHL and you are actually trying to make this case? Seriously? There are lots if issues with this team. It is asinine and absurd for anyone to focus blame on one player with the game they played tonight and the way the team has played pretty much all season.

They would never dare say this with Mr. Snider alive...but now corporate is in charge so everything is fair game.

In the game tonight Voracek was one of the few players who played with any intensity. He was trying to make something happen all game but they're so disconnected as a team that everything is to the outside. Nobody in the middle of the ice.

How are you going to focus on Simmonds when the Golden Child is just as useless and took a dumb penalty to kill a power play?

How are you going to focus on SImmonds when Jake, JVR, NOPA are useless this season?

Just embarassing.
Every game I think, it can't get worse and somehow this team does.

The Flyers are getting outshot by the Blues.
At home.

- opeth_pa

I’ve heard for the past few weeks how bad Schenn is and what a mess the Blues are. We’re worse. We were shutout by a goalie in his first ever game with a bad team.

We’re worse. Let that sink in.

Pretty much the entire team got outplayed tonight. I digress though, it's all Simmonds fault.

I thought Sanheim and Hart played well tonight.
