9 shots. 3 goals. New goalie. Same story.

Gotta give Fedotov more time so I don’t blame him. Having said that, they haven’t been able to get a save from anyone in recent times. It’s crazy. When there are breakdowns they are bad. I expect Ersson should rebound if he is able to rest a bit. I think he’s worn out but will be fine.

This one is over. F. What a bunch of idiots. The d are backing in too far in on goal.

Brutal. I was really hopeful that we'd turn things around after getting a few days rest.

What Torts gets, play 2 D that are slow and defensive and the whole D has taken a step back on their agressiveness.

York and Sanheim pair did it on last two goals. Disappointing to be down to a team that doesn’t look like they even care to play.

When the d backs in that far the goaltender doesn’t have much of a chance. I think it’s far too early to say he sucks.

I noticed it was the same pair. Not helping the tender.

Yes, he absolutely needs more time and I don't blame him either. We just aren't that good of a team.

This game is the death knell for the playoffs. But overall, the fact that they have not had a pp all year has killed them. I can’t imagine they’ll let ole Rocky Thompson the goon continue to coach the pp after this year. Ffs

Fedotov has to hire Petersen's agent ASAP.

Well we’ve already saved a lot on hart. At some point we’re going to need to find a goalie here. I fully expect we’ll get a good team together and cheap out on goaltending and that will once again be the Achilles.

I can't wrap my mind around how Torts thinks that those 2, especially Staal, gives them a better chance to win. I want to see Ginning out there.

This is correct. We have no skill so we can have all the effort in the world but can’t bury a shot.

Konecny not playing like a guy that deserves an 8 year deal for over 60 million? Is he?

Lol yea, I figured Rocky would be drafting up all types of new PP strategies that they could practice and utilize. Nah.

They will! Boosh predicted that Frosty would be a beast tonight (something like that) as he wants to avenge the OT miscue against the Isles. Wait till you see him and 4th line Farabee in the 3rd! I'm predicting big things!

He used to play here in my home town for the ahl team in the flames organization. Used to see him and the other players out all the time. Decent guy for sure but as a player. Just a meathead goon. Smaller guy but crazy as a loon. He’s done well since with the coaching gig but never I mean never should he be coaching the pp. part of it is he has no skilled players but cmon.

On the Dahlin goal, he's basically skating in 1 against 4. Nobody challenges him and he rifles one in. On the Quinn goal, too easy through the neutral zone and no challenge at the blue line and an easy entry. The Flyers have been good in the neutral zone for most of the game but not on that play.
