3-7-2 since firing Hak. Good thing they got that 3 game boost by changing the head coach.
- FlyerFan16



Cause clearly the problem is\was the coaching and not the players.

That was a really bad call on Ghost. How do you allow the offside after the challenge but call a penalty after the offside? You might as well have allowed the goal...

How is that even a rule. Play should be dead after the offside

I'm not exaggerating when I say I have no idea why I'm even still watching these games until extensive roster changes are made. Same poop every game.

In my opinion, that made a difference at a Crucial point in the game.

Technically the penalty occurred before Wilson touched the puck which should have blown the play dead as offsdes so I guess you could explain it that way

JVR doesn't deserve better linemates. He's non-competitive. It's a disgrace.
- Tomahawk

Tomahawk, tell me what he deserves. Explain to me as a hockey coach how you get not only JvR going but the team going.

Some of you don’t speak with logic. Everyone brought nothing tonight or yesterday.

And if you can't produce unless you have a certain type of line mate then you're pretty useless. Dude needs it served on a silver platter.
- Scoob


Being a finesse player is fine. Being an off-puck attacker is fine, too.

A guy like Tavares, who plays that same kind of finesse, off-puck style, is one of the biggest competitors in the league. He battles, he pursues, he backchecks.

JVR really does need it on a silver platter. He hasn't changed a bit since draft day. He's still the same big, likable guy, who won't bring it.

We're the Florida panthers!! Yay glad Dave Scott hired a new marketing guru. Maybe she'll be able to fix this ...

The stadium series game ought to be fun. They'll lose 8 0 to the penguins at the link for their 30th loss in a row. If they're smart they'll cancel the game, forfeit the points and just have gritty skating around with taryn doing a strip show on the jumbotron.

Sad part is I'm just such a die hard fan. I'm praying that if I watch long enough I'll see some sign of life.

The players were upset over the nutritional directions the Gm gave them. They also didnt like the lines the coach put on ice

They refuse to play good solid hockey until pizza and wings are the pre game meal

If Twitter is correct the Flyers now have the worst goal differential in the league after this loss. -37

Unbelievable, 2nd waiver wire goalie ....Hextall effed are currently goalie situation, glad, I don’t get all the Hextall love, everyone in Pennsylvania/New Jersey ran him out of town after we got swept by Detroit giving up 60 footers scf

Meckenna looked like a high schooler playing in a men’s league

Our defense is horrendous, not one of them can effectively carry the puck and make a pass

Forwards all look as they given up, so much talent on this team should not be this bad

I never thought otherwise. And yet one particularly thick franchise has chosen him twice and given him 2 contracts. The second one could be a bonafide disaster that will equal a Lecavalier type situation.

I think the reason Simmonds got pissed at the end of the game was because one of the Caps chirped at him and told him he’s stuck playing on the Flyers at minimum until the deadline.

Weird that I've seen just about no media post game for the Flyers on this one. I guess even the beats are tired of the canned responses.
