It very well could be. But I've seen two plus years of a coach being unable to make adjustments to beat divisional rivals. I've seen two plus years of a coach that seems unable or unwilling to instill discipline and stress better two way play.

The Flyers have changed the personnel. They've got 6 guys left from the 2010 Final team.

I really think it has to do with adjustments and accountability resulting in player responses.

If I'm rinaldo, I'm pissed Briere is on the ice in the last minute, because I outplayed the waste of space the entire game, yet he gets to coast and take his weak-as$ shot in the last 20 seconds. What's the incentive for me to work hard if I'm not getting off the fourth line while Danny boy gets his 15 a game?

i'm not even angry. i fully believed the result could happen after the first period and it played out exactly like i thought.

what i am annoyed with is lava's decision making - regarding rinaldo. briere. goaltending. everything.

buyers or seller?

Danny Briere hasn't played a whole week of solid hockey in two years.

Sellers than buyers.

I bet Laviolette doesn't make it out of the week.

I think if they lose to Boston on Saturday, I don't think it's gonna matter what happens on Sunday night. I can easily see them firing him after the game Sunday night. Easily.

I'm interested in what his reasoning was behind pulling Breeze when he wasn't playing badly. That sorta signaled to me that he threw in the towel.

Not just Lavi's fault, but he better get them on a hot streak or he's rightfully gonzo.

i hope to turn on the game saturday and hes wearing a bruins sweater

Oh, and a good coach gets his team to shut the door with a lead, like the Penguins did.

Pittsburgh didnt allow the Flyers jack poop.

So what should happen if the Flyers fall behind to a team like Jersey? Throw in the towel? The Flyers failed to match the work ethic of the Pens from the start of the 2nd period. You have to outwork defending teams, to beat them. Thats hockey 101.

Absolutely!! The constant lack of 60 minutes of hard work and effort makes me sick. Fire Lavi!

I asked you two questions. You didn't answer either one. The correct answer to both questions is the root of the problem. The Flyers did not lose this game due to a lack of effort. Playing hard is not enough in this League. Which my example of Columbus points out.
You can't defend against teams, and check teams, and hold onto leads if you don't know how. If there is no structure in place to do so. More times then not, you cannot play the way the Flyers play this year, and expect to become any good.

Lavi's unchecked aggression against Rinaldo will not stand, man.

That doesn't make much sense. Not sure what he was trying to do there.

Bringing in a new coach, who will instill a brand new system, in the middle of a short and condensed season just smells of skittles.

What happens if Murray is brought in and they continue to struggle with the same issues?

All the poop we can sell has Nmc/ntc. I'm not for trading a b.schenn or Gustafson for a broke down player that won a cup when bill Clinton was president because we think it'll help us get into the playoffs.

Deserves got nothing to do with it. If he can't get these guys going, Holmgren will find someone that will.
