only saw the 3rd due to class ... looked like we got plenty of chances, but just couldn't cash in. As usual.

Tough deflection on Bryz for the 3rd goal. How did he look on the first 2?

This team is done like dinner.

Now, it's just a question of how angry Ed Snider will be when there is no playoff revenue coming in.

Don't panic, stay the course.
- stveshdy


Don't panic, but get any picks you can for guys not coming back. We lose a high 4th for Gagne. Have to get back whatever you can at this point which is probably a 5th at best.

I hope they start selling now. Get ahead of the market. They need to lose as much as possible anyway. This season will be totally lost without a top 5 pick.

You guys don't suck enough for a top 5 pick.

I am cautious about throwing Cooter under the bus. Young guy in a sophomore slump.
- Hextall271


Sophomore slump is one thing, non competitive play is another. He doesn't belong in the NHL right now.

First one was awful weak. Bad turnover, bad defense, but stoppable. Was really playing well after that, though.

Who would have thought in a 48 game schedule, the last 18 games would be irrelevant.
- PLindbergh31


poop happens, they've clearly got their work cut out for them. but it's not that crazy, with the youth on this team. young team that had holes to being with, combined with just nothing really working/ gelling for them...i dunno. recipe for a rough year

In all seriousness, how many times can this team build around young players and put all their hopes on them, and then almost set them up for failure when they regress a little?

It's happening again this year, and cost them Bob. Wouldn't mind Bryz getting bought out if they still have Bob, but Snider needs his cup while he's still alive, and they're impatient as hell.

I'm not panicking, lose the rest of the games. That would secure a top 3 pick.
- PLindbergh31


The Eagles did it why not the Flyers?

First goal was cottony soft. Unfortunately in one goal games you can't allow any soft goals.

I actually kind of agree with him.

We are just bad enough to miss the playoffs but not bad enough to get a high pick.

good lord, what an embarrassing final 2:30 - which should be the official end to their season, despite another 18 games remaining on the schedule. losers. (frank)ing losers.

First goal was brutal.

I'm tired of hearing the players talk about what they have to do. They never friggin do it. Talk is cheap yo'.

Bye Lavy, bye all FAs. Seriously could this team be any worse with McGinn(when healthy), GUS and Wellwood?

I know this sounds ridiculous, but I agree.. It's really a disaster to come in 9-12 seed.. come dead last and get mackinnon or Jones type of player that can be added to the core. The season is a disaster but we can do well if we can come in last and get the third pick overall.

oh well, at least the g/f will be happy that I can spend time with her instead of watching hockey over the next few weeks.

so, in that respect, I should be happy that I'm making her happy. But I'm not.

It's all lip service. I don't even pay attention to the interviews. What do you want them to do say we suck, the season is over
