I dont get it. The puck is at the blueline and hart is 2 feet behind the top of the blue paint. He is mentally damaged atm. Whoever the (frank) he has been working with needs to stay the (frank) away from him. Awful

If indeed his goalie coach changed his positioning from last year then they should not have. It could also be confidence. Tenders play back further when they don’t have confidence. You don’t even know you’re doing it but your tentative.

He needs to sit. How do wreck your 22 year old franchise goalie ? Play him in front of this D.
- landros 2


Yeah, he is a kid. I don't understand why it is not more Moose and Lyon with some time off for Hart. Instead he keeps playing every time its his turn.

He doesn't need Ekholm. He needs time off.

He has to come up with a save. His positioning is absolutely unacceptable

Coach is not going to get fired and players are not going to get traded (before the expansion draft) so the only thing you can hope for is that they all get sick of getting embarrassed and make a last-ditch run. I don't think even when it's time to make a move anyone will take giroux and JVR. So you're looking at moving Jake, Ghost, NP and maybe one of Myers or Sanheim. Hopefully York and Frost come in and make a difference sooner than later.

Who are our UFAs? Laughton?

We really need to acquire every asset we can moving forward. This team is absolute trash

Not even rock bottom yet. When the Sabres break their 17 game losing streak against these frauds that will be rock bottom.

Just finishing dinner and I come in to see that the Flyers have changed nothing. WOW they do stink bad. Last thing I saw was a 2 on 1 with Coots and he got the puck swept off his stick. Another odd man rush that was as pointless as the last odd man rushes.

They were shorthanded twice in that period and only gave up 7 shots. Hart is not a good goalie right now. They’ve given him plenty of chances to play his way out of it. It’s time for him to sit.

I've seen a lot of bad hockey in my 67 yrs, but few have achieved the consistent all-around ineptitude of this bunch, IMO

Chucky going to break them down and build them back up again. Just like he built that dynasty in Minnesota.

So this is the time for the coaches to make a statement after yet another half a$$ effort.


Bench players and change line combo's on both O & D. ITS NOT WORKING WHY KEEP DOING WHAT"S NOT WORKING(isn't that close to the definition of insanity)?????

How much badness do we have to watch every night from this team?? Jake in front of the net with no stick in the passing lane, not getting anyone. Provorov plays the pass on a 2 on 1 because of another bad line change and he doesn't even cut the pass off??? What a joke this team is!

The 06 07 team was right there. Don’t remember allowing 12 straight to any team.

Ekholm would help, but there’s a few guys that are just not good. If Fletch is trying to make changes he needs to try harder....this is embarrassing. Bill said earlier today there not a bottom feeder....the last 3 weeks that’s how there playing....I watched an Ottawa team last night that would wipe the Floor with the Flyers.
It’s mental errors.

Calm down, concrete cranium.

I meant Hurts when I said Hurts. And I meant the last game of the season when I said the last game of the season.

You can relive it here

- PT21


You keep posting that I'm not calm. It's laughable. Your example is a really bad one.

I'll tell you what. let's make this real simple.

Publicly ask Bill Meltzer if he was saying that the Flyers were tanking under Hextall, which you claim he said. If he answers that he said yes, they were tanking. I'll leave HB voluntarily. If he says no, that's not what he was saying, you leave for good.

Do you have the nads?

Buffalo's worst loss is 6-0. The Sabres beat the Flyers 6-1.

Agreed. We have zero jam back there without him. At least make the other team pay now and again.

Of note. Taryn looks nice. Only positive from tonight

Vorachek is a trainwreck, man how many soft defensive plays until the coaches actually do something.



At this point i am paying seattle to take that contract no matter what the cost.
