Bill Meltzer: Flyers Gameday: 12/5/21 vs. TB

I'm sure this will end well.

If they can’t win a home game against a tired team with a bunch of injuries after we had a long layoff we get to fire the coach right?

With Elliot in goal, there is a better chance. Vas earned his keep last night

Willman is back!! The world is saved!!! Why is it when the Flyers bring a young guy up he is invisible and overmatched while other teams young guys seem to have instant success. Must be something about the development of younger players within the organization.

If the team as a whole stinks. What is a player like Willman going to do? The best environment to develop young players is on teams that play a disciplined, structured game. With quality vet support.

TB second game of back to back. No Point, no Kucherov, no Vasilesky.
What will the excuse be if they lose this game?

They’ll say they wanted to be nice to moose as he’s a classy guy. Haha

Hedman will have a hat trick.

No Point, no Kucherov and yet the Lightning keep winning.

Ellis being out is no excuse for the garbage the Flyers keep rolling out game after game. It’s time to clean house: management, coaches & players

Enough is enough

We'll have to see how they perform after their 15.5 hour practice yesterday 😉

Here’s something to break up all the negativity.

Few weeks old but some good analysis wrt Hart. Sportsnet has him as the starter for the olympics for team Canada at this point.

Too long a layoff

Honest question. If the Phantoms and all our prospects were healthy, do you think Willman would be the one called up?

Maybe the answer will go some towards addressing your statement about the quality of other teams callups.

Too long a layoff

Exactly. Slow start. TB will be up by multiple goals early. Broadcast team will say TB playing last night is crisper. Flyers will carry 3rd period play ultimately loose by a goal. Afterwards it’ll be slow start due to extended break but positive is look how they finished

Any more participants in the coaches/gm fired, player trades dead pool?

I think only 2Real gave a date for Giroux of March 22,2022 traded..

flyers wont have a slow start. come on, they dont do that. Always have 100% effort

The apocalypse has come come my friends, time to run to those hockey hills and hide. It actually began over the summer with the trade of Voracek and will continue with G sometime before the trade deadline. Both of those players will eventually be remembered for how good they actually were. This decade long debacle was never their fault. Management from top down had no idea how to construct a team. Hopefully we will have competent people in place to start to build a proper hockey organization. There are some good pieces, but more are needed. Hart is good in goal, but is he good enough? I guess we'll see. As Mortimer said near the end of the movie "Get back in there and sell! sell!

0% chance G is traded. 90% he resigns. 10% leaves in free agency

Again, we'll see.

There's no acceptable excuses if they lose this game. Tampa has injured players, they're facing the back up netminder(who they should be very familiar with) and not only did Tampa play a game last night, this is Tampa's 5th game played since last Sunday....Let's see how prepared they are to play today

pretty sure we were saying that 2 weeks ago, when tampa had injuries, then after chuck did his conference we came out flat. So not expecting much today
The lack of effort is infuriating. Constant slow starts, playing hard for 20-30 min doesnt quite cut it

I don’t expect us to win. Despite the injuries, Tampa can still score and we can’t get more than 1. That was before we lost bee.

Only the flyers deal with issues.
