If the stat about the Flyers vs. Rangers/Devils is correct he's gonzo. They figured him out and he hasn't adjusted.

Or you simply have the Flyers being exposed because they simply arent good enough.

Teams like the Rangers and Devils expose you for making stupid decisions with the puck.

Look at that D-core and what do you expect with Grossman out? They can't transition for poop and the Rangers owned them with speed and hard work.

He did well enough when he was the starter. He was raw.

Flyers were 0-6 vs. Rags last year, 1-2 this year, 0-6 in last 6 games vs. Devils (counting playoffs) so that's 1-14 by my math.

Absolute non-competitive dogpoop.

win in conference first. There's an obvious problem.

I'm more annoyed at Erik Gustafsson. He was at fault for a stupid, ill-timed line change on the 2nd NY goal, and an even more stupid pinch that sprung Nash for the 3rd one.

i'm tired of our 3rd pair being a never ending carousel of parent-kraijeck-modry etc.

We talked about this before. Playing defense is about a hell of a lot more then back-checking hard. They're not well Coached.
- MJL

Your personal idea of what a better coached team is related to your personal belief that a defensive minded system is better.

We have gone through that as well, and you have admitted which you prefer.

Jesus couldnt fix the stupid on this team.

They simply arent good enough, thats what it ends.

kimmo 6 million dollar pylon
- flyfan1212


The 6 million is to play defense for Flyers next year, and outside linebacker for Eagles this year. He's a bargain. Deion Timonen. Two sports star.

Give me a gif of him standing on the first Nash goal like a dumb (frank).

One of the top goal scorers in the NHL blasts one from inside the circle. Good luck to any goalie.

Keeping Bob as the starter was not the answer. Bryz and his contract are looking questionable so far, but I'd have to agree that Bob was never the answer.

He would certainly have cost less though...

Someone here earlier today was telling me that other teams would have given Kimmo $7 million next season. If so, the Flyers should have let them.

You still have to be aware. Make sure it gets deep and don't lollygag to the damned bench, skate off hard and get off the ice fast.
- Jsaquella


I can't stand how most players don't skate hard to the bench, so yea, I get that part. Unfortunately Kimmo is not fleet of foot anymore to get to the bench quickly from the other side of the ice

they're a .500 team at the very best at this point. Every loss proves that, and every win makes you forget that.

The only thing pissing me off with Bryzgalov is he is slowly sliding back into inconsistency and making barely any big saves. He is paid to be much more than an average guy.

Have to play defense well to transition the puck. Have to create turnover and have a neutral zone presence and layers to their checking. Hasn't been there all year. Beat the Flyers forecheck deep in your end, and you've got clear entry in the Flyers end. Cut pucks and challenge the Flyers at the blueline, and you've got odd man rushes against. It was only a matter of time until this Coach tried to unleash the hounds. This team isn't good defensively because the Coach doesn't demand it. It's all go, go, go.
