It's not even about wins and losses anymore for me. I'll give anything to see 60 minutes of fundamentally sound defense. Just give me that.

That was last night. It's against the rules to play like that two games in a row.

Biggest surprise of the night has to be Patrick shutout on the scoresheet.

Well minus the final sequence in OT. But you guys are right. I was fine with the defensive effort last night.

God the answers these guys are giving post game. They’re so defeated.

Coots asked about the team coming out flat footed in the first... he literally just said it is what it is.

Have you guys considered this...
In the last 10 minutes of the hockey game, the flyers out scored their opponents by a margin of 2 to 0.
I’d say they’re “trending in the right direction”.

Honestly, is there any legitimate excuse they can give?

I guess they can’t. We’ll see what Chuck has to say tomorrow.

He will give the typical GM speak, and then proceed to do jack poop. Guy is a bum.

In the back read a few people mentioned it. I don’t know what the occasion is other than trying to extinguish some flames maybe.

If Fletcher is smart. Other than maybe a cheap rental player, he'll stand pat heading toward the deadline.

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

I went with daughter to playoff game a few years ago. Stop for late lunch. Motha (frank)a French fries in my salad. So naturally I call waitress over and I’m like surely this is a mistake. Oh no we put fries in the salad. We put fries in everything chuckling. I being a nice dad and human of course say “that’s the stupidest (frank)ing thing I’ve ever heard” “what kind of food (frank)ery is this” “you guys suck “

Ha ha. I remember when we signed Kevin Hayes and the sentiment was at the at time he was actually a 3rd line center but would take over 2nd line center duties untill NP usurped him. Last year he kind of proved the naysayers wrong with that season he had.

This past month its been 3rd line center at best Hayes. This whole season Patrick hasnt done anything and G shouldnt really be playing center anymore. Its almost like we are down 2 centers. You got the kids back on D just being the dumbest, (so much for that high hockey IQ, high character draft philosophy) and here we are are.

I dont really care about patrick but was hoping for more out of konecny.

The goal is to improve the team for the long run. So if you can make a deal to address that you make it; nah be smart and stand pat.

Be dumb to waste assets on a rental.

Well the good news is they changed the rules to the draft lottery. The team that’s dead last can now pick no lower than 3rd.

I actually think high school hockey teams pass better than this team. I have NEVER seen a pro hockey team throw so many aimless passes to no one in particular. I guess we should expect this since they are only allowed to make the playoffs every other year with this core group. I wonder if they could put Voracek and Ghost on waivers, and actually get someone to take their salaries??? Hayes should just change his name to Haze(as in fog). Thanks for nuttin!!

They lack detail and execution in pretty much every element of the game. Over the first 20 games or so, they were executing well offensively and outscoring their deficiencies. That was bound to not last.
