So maybe all this praise of Hextall drafting was a bit overblown?

Always was really. Not to fear they still have 25 b level prospects who will pan out

This team was playing well up until the Boston series. What the hell happened since to make them this bad? Have they given up on their coach?
- Cable2k

The players weā€™ve been told are good enough have proved yet again that they are in fact not.

Oh absolutely. Make a trade. Bring in Ekholm. That's all they have to do. He'll fix it all.

No .. no .. we will do nothing instead and keep our fingers crossed!

If they do nothing else but get rid of Gustafson is be ok. He just had a chance to hit a Devil behind his net to take him out of the play but he simply backs off and takes a leisurely skate. My god he's A dog.

City of champions. But at least the flyers never filed bankruptcy response coming soon or how they built their own arena.

On a good note, Hart having a strong game tonight. He is getting plenty of practice anyway.

Let them have their sports moments. Pittsburgh is a cultureless poophole.

He did do a good job drafting..but unfortunately he wasnā€™t the head scout...he was the GM...thereā€™s more to being a GM then drafting good prospects....after you draft them , player development is just as important. You also have to balance that with attempting to win a Stanley cup eventually. The only issue I have with Hextall being fired is that it didnā€™t happen sooner. Iā€™m just not certain that his replacement is any better.

Myers within 30 feet and misses the net badly, yup, that's about right!

Hextall's drafting was not overrated, I mean his drafting of Patrick was a pure stroke of genius!

Remember when the players would have a closed door meeting during the numerous times the team would underperform for long stretches? They canā€™t even pretend to care enough to even have one.

They'd have to have a meeting after 90% of their games.

How did Hayes miss the net on that break away? It is just the way it is for this team this year, I think they are mailing it in at this point, and why wouldn't they. They know there is no help coming their way.

Next year ā€œthe coreā€ will figure it out...or the year after that or the year after that. Whatever we do letā€™s make sure we donā€™t lose one of these valuable players in the expansion draft by actually getting some better players and trying to win this year.

Boucher talking about 2000 & 2010 as the Flyers get curb stomped. Heā€™s got to be trolling. šŸ˜‚

Our PA tax dollars 35 million or so went to that arena and their damned Casino financing for the arena fell through. Im still pissed about that. They should have let them move to Kansas City and play in the West. And taken Permanti Bros chain with them..nothing more obscene in food than putting the french fries in the sandwich

Would he? I heard he doesn't want to. He "likes it here"

This can be seen as a rare opportunity to get rid off some vets and be sellers. Of course they will blow it.

- PT21


Gotta think he would. If they asked now, in an attempt to move him before this deadline, and he said no it would be unbelievably awkward this off-season & all of next year. Plus if he wants a cup, heā€™d be wise to move to a better equipped team.

At what point does someone blow a fuse ala Emery on Holtby. Not a single skater looks like theyā€™re searching for an extra gear.

No, that's OK Gust, why shoot it on net from the slot when you can pass it across into traffic, Ya, good play there!
