Call them like I see them.

I like homer. But he failed this off season.

Cant argue that...

this re build is going to take a few years, just not sure I want Homer doing it anymore?

Man this team is slow. And bad. Sigh, I was really looking forward to this season.
- Flyers1218


Slow isn't what I'm seeing. Total indecision and lack of confidence.

Sooooo...he failed because he didn't trade half the team for Weber?

He failed because Nashville matched?

He failed because he offered Parise the most money of any contract he had on the table? (allegedly)

He failed because he didn't bring Carle back for best-dman-on-the-team money?

Homer did everything he could this offseason, in my opinion. He may have "failed" but he sure as hell did all he could to make the team better.

Jones but don't get any hopes up they'll even have a prayer to land him.

Nope. Apparently LOLja lost an edge on the Rags first goal.

I think this is where the focus should be. On the part time 6/7 defenseman. Clearly he is bringing the rest of the team down, and ruining an otherwise solid effort from the team.

The Kubina trade was a waste of picks, but that was earlier.

yeah, we're down 2 zip ... but you have to give the boys credit. They've come out with a LOT of energy, and if not for Hank this would easily be a Flyers lead.

This is just the complete opposite of that TB game. I see a lot of hustle, good energy, and a real solid effort by everyone. Especially Giroux.

Disagree.

This team is one set it and forget it dman away from being dangerous.

Cooter will be tremendous, Bschenn too, G is slumping now but he's still #28, Bryz has been money....

The future is bright for this team. I hope they keep it and don't blow it up.

I would call this team awful but that's a insult to awful teams. These guys are about as boring as it gets.
