When players start thriving after being traded from this team. The Coaching staff needs to be eliminated.

Not sure about this. Every player a team trades, is not a bad player. Carter, Richards, JVR, Bobrovsky are all good talented players.

Can you imagine if they lose tonight? Looking at their schedule it may be awhile before they win another game.

As long as I never have to see Lavi, Briere, or Bryz play another game.

at this point I'm only watching out of sheer love of the game. If they lose every game from here on out and become a better team because of it, oh well. An utter meltdown might be better than winning these life support games.

Flyers organization has no patience. The Flyers will never win another cup with Ed Snider running the show.

Look at his numbers in the KHL and this year. He is turning into a stud

Once that deal was announced, I shook my head at Columbus and said they gave up way too much. Well, the kid has played very well with little talent in front of him.

I almost expect them to lose at this point. I think tonight they should win but with the way their defense has looked I'm not very confident.

Whether he earns it or not the man is getting paid. Needs to step his game up another level. I know the defense has been bad but we need more from him in net.

A loss tonight and I'd start with the retooling process and get whatever they can for assets not returning.

Almost game time. So, does the team turn it around starting tonight or is the season at a loss?

"Can they stop the bleeding?"

Strong imagery around the idea that the Flyers are in a full hemorrhage. Will the patient bleed to death?

My thinking is that a very young Flyer team is experiencing a deep and nasty sophomore slump. Worst option is to make wholesale changes just for the sake of trying to shake things up.

Elite teams are built around 6 key positions. A #1 center who can control the offensive zone and play defense. A power forward who can work the boards and take a position in front of the net. A speed forward (burner) who can beat you wide and take a pass at full speed. A #1 Dman who can control the pace and play from the back end. A shut down Dman who can clear the front of the net. A world class goalie.

The Flyers already have most of the key pieces. They need to pay the price to get what is missing.

Unless there is some kind of injury we dont know about, its a bad decision.

In the end, every player matters.

I am hoping for a 7 - 3 win or something like that. I need Vanek to get your few points for the good of my hockey pool.

Pretty sad however when your best depth guys after Guss are Gervais and Foster.

Just saying.

I am hoping for a 2-1 win with the winning goal scored late in regulation.
