Yes, the Ellis injury has been a killer for the Flyers, because he is such a good player that solves so many problems on this team, top pairing minutes, solid defenseman, good PP and PK player, good on the transition. Between Ellis out and Seeler in, its killing this team rght now!

Losing a player like Ellis, good but not great player, is not the reason for this disaster. Every team gets injuries and 1 player being out isnt the Flyers problem. Neither is having a 45pt 3C being injured

Power 🔋 play ▶️ 🤡 🤣

Really sanheim? Cmon

Sanheim…

Maybe, but I am not blaming the tenders for the season. We got a +++ goaltending last game and lost. It’s not the problem
- Hextall271

What I meant is that instead of them losing 4-3 they are losing 6-3.
The flyers get caved in for long periods of time more than any other team I watch play.

Sanheim…

Clearly interference ... just brutal refs the last few games

JVR 7MILL dead weight

if we are playing one of the top teams in the league, we need G, TK and Couts to be better. Seems like Thompson has had more chances than them today

correct 100%. Just typical flyer fans excuses.

Captain comfortable is the common denominator. Already rubbed off on ex selke.

JVR 7MILL dead weight

Absolutely invisible all year. Some games I have to check if he’s played at all. Might as well sit him.

I do agree that the refs have been poor.

I've seen this look before, they played this game like a team that knew they were beaten before they stepped on the ice. That is the fault of the coach. Having said that, no coach could get them to a real run but there are coaches that can make some posituve impact.

2 weeks ago I brought this up as well and was told JVR has been playing well, just snake bitten.
He’s awful for what you expect from 7 million dollar player. You pay 7 mill for a third line player who has pitted a couple goals so far?
Brutal

Agreed. If anything we need to support the goalies more. They’ve been bailing us out all year. In fact, if we don’t get epic goaltending we’re getting crushed.

Well, they got ES with #2, just 3 years later, we got JVR.

and the Sixers got Evan Turner

If I watch a game and I think. Jeez how did Laughton or so and so play because I don’t even remember them having the puck. It’s not a good thing.

And Shawn Bradley...

Ugly already. If they lose against Devils and Isles I hope somebody pulls the trigger
- THE EVIL WITHIN

I was just thinking this. Although I'll say if it's another ugly loss like tonight, I would fire AV. I wouldn't wait until the Isles.

Alarm ⏰ 🚨 ⏰ 🚨 ⏰ 🚨 Tombstone a key figure. He would be retired if not AV grabbed him from the scrapeyard

Curse of the Duece

Scotty deathstare. What an important cog for this team. Should have sold him at his highest value. Another blunder by the GM. Core player right Cliff...

"You take you a deuce, you don't sit there and look at it. You flush it and move on. We gon' flush it and move on."

At least we have the top prospects in the minors and lots of cap space to right this ship soon… oh wait, we have neither.

Devils are playing very well. I expect the flyers to lose that game. Isles struggling.

It’s a legitimate question and opinion in my view. I sometimes forget he’s on the team ffs.
