Patrick was so lazy after that faceoff, not even trying to get that puck back, and the Caps go up and score! He is another one that can't get out of here fast enough!

Behn Wilson?
- DANCER

Behn Wilson was no joke...def top five...I'd swap him with Brash, though he was pretty damn good.

I feel like when Kevin Hayes or Scott Laughton who are vets in this league go along stretch without scoring or playing well, the question always becomes ā€œAre they injuredā€.

We know factually when Patrickā€™s issues have been. After watching Eric Lindros play and being a dominant player, just for concussion to derail his career, I feel like there is a real chance we could be watching this in Patrick. The same people who were making fun of Lindros in the 90ā€™s show sympathy now. I feel those same people will do the same if and when Patrickā€™s career is cut short.

Some of these posts we should really bookmark.

Stop embarrassing yourself by comparing Patrick to Lindros.

Wow I tuned in to watch the final 10 minutes of the game...

Down by 1 goal against the Flyers

Lavi: Double shift the 4th line

We have a PP now

Lavi: Throw the 4th line out

It's OT

Lavi: Just play the 4th line

We won

Lavi: I know.

A goose egg in every column in the box score except for the -2.

Stiffan Bustrick -29 on the season. What a (frank)ing bum.

Clinching the Division for the Penguins while losing. Only they could do it.

Yeah, no offense, but what the hell. No one ever waited for Lindros. As soon as he came in it was lights out. Were talking about an NHL hall of famer here. As soon as I saw patrick out in OT and his sluggish attempt to retreive the puck on the boards I was like.. "aww poop". And then boom. Game over. Oy vey.

Brasher was more of a mauler...Wilson was scary....because he was nuts.

(frank)ing terrible.

Lindros was top-5 player in the league for years before concussions derailed him.

Patrick wasn't even a top-5 forward on the Flyers before he got knocked out.

Is he behind the 8-ball after missing so much time? Yeah. Was he that good to begin with? Nope.

Itā€™s really not about having sympathy for the kid. Iā€™m sure no one here is wishing ill health on him. Itā€™s about whether he can play or not. He and the team and the team doctors claim he is healthy enough to play. Heā€™s had an entire season to show any signs that he can return to form. He has not shown any signs of improving at all. Iā€™m not saying he should be given up on, but maybe donā€™t put him on the ice with a minute to go in regulation and in OT.

Lindros dominated NHL games before he suffered a concussion. When has Patrick dominated at the NHL level?

Great game from Lyon. Our PP stinks. Please donā€™t play Hayes in OT. Thought Morin looked good.

The funny part is most of the players on the Flyers would look pretty good on other teams, but together they all suck.

Tonights game was just ANOTHER example of it's not skill the Flyers lack, it's effort and passion as a whole. They got whooped by a completely stripped lineup. The Flyers could land some big named skilled players this offseason and I wouldn't be surprised one bit if they look like half the player while wearing a Flyers jersey. The question is why does that happen and when that is answered changes can be made.

- PLindbergh31

Moron! I bring up Lindros because Lindros was a Flyer. What other random name would you like me to use? So because Patrickā€™s skill level doesnā€™t reach Hall of Fame levels, his health shouldnā€™t be considered?

Myers is such a Wuss, he is so afraid to make contact with players, IMO he will never be a top defender in this game. Already York is showing he is more physical than Myers.
- jd250


If he can play like he has in the last few games ....Myers that is ....then thatā€™s a guy that can really be a help next year. Trust me I agree he has played like poop this year, but he has showed the type of game of late that has the Flyers still excited about his future.
