Only caught the first few minutes of the 3rd period on live stream had been informed it was 4-0 early in the 1st period but felt I needed to at least say I watched some of it

Perhaps Im as "archaic" as the coach as some would put it but if my clock was getting cleaned 5-0 and Im a rookie trying to prove myself I certainly wouldnt be gliding around on the ice "nudging" the opposing players and staying along the boards coasting along preseason game or not

Tired of hearing the whining of the coach this and that as being the culprit - players gotta want to play at some p;oint

Seeler got in a fight after NJ made it 3-0. Inspired the whole team.

All that focus on culture coming in handy tonight.

Maybe Jones can give us some Wawa coupons in the next alumni night.

I know you aquiring Andersen potentially was a means to an end Daniel. But he looks like a stereotypical graveyard flyers goalie.

Don’t say that.

At least Fedoruk, Boucher, LeClair, and Sharp have jobs now too.

Such refreshing voices. There is hope for change indeed.

About the only positive thing I saw was that Coots seemed to make it through the entire game ok.

I saw the result of that - inspired NJ to put 3 more goals behind the two pseudo netmiunders

Was nice to see him.

Ironically one of the most irrelevant players when you factor in his age to the realistic timeline to contention.

They’ve screwed him just like Giroux.

What the hell are you talking about? How the hell did the Flyers screw Giroux and how the hell have they screwed Coots? Jesus, I swear some folks are just on this earth to whine.

Giroux could have stepped it up and won when Richards was carrying him

That worked in the old days. And with a considerable better roster.

I told you that Hurts is still having trouble with his passes. 2 INT tonight.

More importantly, I hope y'all understand now why I was orgasming over Jalen Carter now.Every. single. play. that guys does something eyepopping. He essentially took on 3 guys on the safety.

Over and out. Didn't mean to disturb the hockey convo.

I’m not sure what in the last 15 years there is to cheer for.

To answer your question, they didn’t come close to surrounding Giroux with adequate talent to give him a sustained chance at winning. Same for Couturier.

At least everyone got to keep their job once Fletcher was fired to help right the ship.

I don't know who said that they were ever in trouble, but they have yet to beat a good opponent. Beat the Pats and Vikings who are a combined 1-5, and beat the Bucs tonight that had beaten two teams (Vikes and Bears) that are a combined 0-6. Eh what?

Oh, I get what your saying there, but I don't consider that to be screwing the players. That's just a mismanaged team IMO. When you say screw the players it made me think that the team had gone out of their way to screw them over in some way, but I retract my whining comment cause the point is fair that neither of those players was surrounded by a good supporting group of players.
