Well the best thing to come from these playoffs is no one can deny its time to move on from Giroux.

Elliot got outplayed. Not blaming him for the loss but he could have stopped the breakaway.
Provy blew the two on one coverage.

Elliott played well, but Greiss was better. The decision to start Elliott didn't play in the outcome of the game imo.

I am sick and tired of the Flyers not being able to score. We better give them hell next game!

And I don’t care how AV chooses to arrange the deck chairs for the game 5. I will not be back to discuss any loss. Win or go home.

See you in the abbreviated off season folks.

Be a f___ing Flyer!

Huh? Isles were the underdogs. Including w/ the bookies.

Not to knowledgeable hockey fans. Bookies dont know sh*t They just go by standings. Even the commentary cast knew Philly was in rough shape going into the series

What the media picks mean zero on who the favorite is.

I know, but I also said I thought isles were the fav. I Remember my gambling friends mentioning to me and being surprised isles were fav while I wasn’t.

To be fair, Pageau has a 3.1mill cap hit and Grant has 700k.

I dont think we could have added Pageau.

Now, if you want to point to the poor overall cap management by Fletch then you have a point.

Would Flyers have given a 1st rounder for him?

Can you please win the next 3 games? Thanks

Whats worse is that we have no idea if we are close or far. Was it an offensive funk? Or Covid rust? Or new daddy syndrome? Or just not built for the playoffs?

With the decline of Giroux, JVR being an anchor, and a few other bad contracts, they aren't close to competing for a Cup imo. They have Hart and that is the foundation building for it, but the young defenseman have maturing to do. They just don't have enough players up front you can count on putting the puck in the net.

Here’s an idea because you get nothing from g Jvr tk. Sell out next game. Full on d pinching. Either win game something stupid like 6-5 or just get blown out. Better than what they’re doing now.

Goal and defense not problem with philly. Problem is fraud 13 games no goals Giroux. And shouldn’t be in league Jvr. 15 useless million on cap.

It's worrisome they got next to nothing out of the top end forwards. I don't know how they remedy it because I know they won't rebuild. Might be a couple of seasons of early playoff exits.

Excluding game 1, these games have been really close. I’m not kicking dirt on any graves until we have 4.

Just time for g to move to a different team. New start with a much reduced role. It’s time.

He was but it's much bigger than one game. This is a recurring problem.

There are a lot of good team in the East, and other young teams Rangers, Devils, getting better. Rags adding Lafreniere is a big boost. The Flyers are no lock to make the playoffs next year.

Have faith. No way it can be denied that g has to go. Jvr should just go the way of pronger or bellemare. Jake at least produced some and dominated at times. Fletch isn’t going to role with this team. Got lucky against Montreal. Unless philly uses excuse of lindblom illness and bust Patrick fake migraines as excuse for not having full team. Which would be bs

Fair point but I think they're still currently constructed to make it.

Is Gotsihbere, I know that’s spelled wrong, out for any particular reason? I know I watch a fraction of Flyers games you probably do but when I’ve watched during regular season games, he’s been pretty good.
