I'm totally sure they are using that as an excuse. As well as Hextall.

Scott doesn't have a clue that he needed to step in a long time ago. Those teams we used to laugh at? We are one of them, and that aura of what once was is all but gone.

Oh yeah. I agree. There shouldn’t be any excuses. Got to poop can management of the team.

I did not see this coming. Really, the team should not be this terrible. Maybe a bubble team but not the worst team in the league which is essentially what they are now. They’ve got a real shot at losing 15 to 20 in a row.
- Hextall271


I assumed they’d continue hovering around the same mediocre level of play/bubble team. I didn’t think they’d be so embarrassing to watch. Then the Clarke poop. Team is in total disarray.

I’m not at all taking a poop on you but I didn’t feel this hope heading into last season you speak of. We lost Niskanen and Provorov had no partner going into the season.

Taking a poop on me lol, love spellcheck. Last year was brutal, I had thought we could have survived that and there always was the deep prospects aka Frost! Made the team, thought he could make an impact, immediately hurt. This year they won some games but it was the same smoke and mirrors so there wasn’t much expectations once things got going

I did not see bottom 5 at all but idk I think as time went on it was more and more clear this team was a joke

Stop. You’re not serious? I’m not watching the game, but if that’s true then I don’t know what to say.

Ok, so Frost is centering the 2nd line against one of the worst teams in the NHL in forever. No choice but to see if he's gonna prove anything. So far a minus1 with 1 shot. Allison hurt again. No words can describe how painful it is to be a fan of this team. I'm sorry, I don't have faith in management from ownership down to fix this. And no, Comcast and Dave Scott won't really care till tickets go unsold

Hopefully everyone from Fletcher down to the coaching staff is let go before they can (frank) up a top lottery pick and off-season moves. What’s worse, this season or 06-07?

This has to be the lowest. They're about to repeat missing the playoffs for the first time in almost thirty years, they're piling up double digit losing streaks, and honestly it feels like the trajectory for next season will be similarly downward.

I thought they might return to competing for like 3rd in the div. I didn’t expect the penguins could overcome hextalls incompetence and be so good.

Long time indeed, I'm glad to see some familiar faces here still. I'm doing pretty well, I wish we could say the same about our team. How you been?

Just keep rushing these guys back, him Ellis and Hayes . Repeat re-injuries. NHLPA should file a suit against the Flyers

Agreed. I feel this season was the bigger disagreement though

I hoped they would have temporarily been a bit more competitive but wasn’t confident about it. But didn’t see a full collapse happening like this. This is hard to watch. In fact I stopped unless it’s convenient.

Brutal. Even the invisible man is beating us routinely now.

When all of your youngsters regress. That isn't an individual player issue. That should be clear as day to anyone.

Player development I am sure, never gets spoken of by the Flyers front office.

- FlyerFan3260

I agree. Makes you wonder with Nolan Patrick though. Like….ALL of our young players are taking steps back, not forward.

After that 06-07 season, they spun up some trades, added to the roster and hopped back into contention. We literally just pushed that button this past summer. The afterburners have already been used up. I just don't see a dramatic turnaround like we had after that season.

Same

I’ve been good. Mostly a lurker here these days. Trying to find any reason to maintain interest in team. It’s been difficult.
