Every single time the opposing team gains the zone with speed.

they don't play the right way. huge gaps. don't play as a unit. when a team plays like this - consistently inconsistent most games and ends up losing those games, they don't deserve to make the playoffs, let alone be a legit contender.

Who cares, trade was made move on. I like what the Flyers got for Carter and he was lucky to make to LA.
- LJF


For the record--I am in no way serious when I write "Hire Stevens. Trade for Carter."

It's a young team and there will be these bumps along the way.

Let's just hope the young players don't get used to losing, or conditioned to think that a tie game in the third is a loss. If they drop another tie game going into the third, I will be quite concerned.

But just to use LA as an example, because some people are regretting the Richards/Carter trades--LA took a long time to become a playoff team. There was a three or four year period that they were basically a bubble team, waiting while their young guys developed.

There are guys like that in Timmonen talbot and Giroux but its the same old same old. It's no mystery Lavy has a short shelf life. When this milk has expired do you even bother to sniff it with bubbly chunks built up?
- JoeRussomanno


Kimmo is aging. Giroux has been sub-par for most of this season, and if Talbot keeps his play up I could care less if his ass is out the door at the end of the season.

We will see if firing Lava is the solution. I just happen to think its a much bigger issue that falls on the players management has put together.

How can anyone take this team seriously when Briere has the assistant captain on his jersey.

It's a lot of things. Poor defensive zone play and poor team defense in general, consistent mistakes in basic game play, and no accountability.

If we all can see it then why can't the coach or management?

this team is proving they are nowhere near legitimate in any way.

it would be a first round bounce if they were to get in. No way they can beat boston, or any team that pressures and plays tight defense.

I don't despise that style. The Flyers haven't stopped playing. The effort has been there all game long. They just don't know how to play the right way.
- MJL


I will not for one second say the effort has been there all game long.

Thats sickening to me to think it has been.

Effort at the end of the day is what wins games.

Watching them on that power play was like watching the computer on EA 94 just run the same pattern over and over again.

Rinaldo 1 goal, 1 assist, has the least amount of ice time on the team? Is Lavi stupid or something?
