Whatever the hell it is, they have no structure in all areas of the ice.

Running around like headless chickens.

I dont for a second believe Lava is telling them to play without any sense of structure, but something will have to give here.

No, it is doubtful. But a team with no sense of discipline often can not recover and sees one mistake turn into 3 or 4 mistakes in short order.

That discipline can be instilled by a good coach.

Pre-game video sessions of the '83-'84 Penguin season are mandatory.

i'm wondering if they, at any point in this game, will shoot the puck anywhere on goal other than straight into the midsection of captain shoulder pads.

I'm not clear on this.

Are you for or against Lava's dismissal?

Three choices:
1) Get Lavi players he needs for system
2) Adjust the system to his current roster
3) Fire him and get new coach

I dont want to just repeat what the announcers are saying but I think their confidence is so shot they can't do poop. So many of these players they are making, are just completely basic hockey mistakes.

Nothing is going right. Hard to watch. More than anything, a coaching change, or any new player, I am starting to believe the best thing for this team right now would just be for the year to end. They are mentally (frank)ed.

we seem to love to hesitate just a split second in our own zone, allowing the attacking forward to pin us in. I just don't get it.

Well option 1 is not gonna happen inside of a free agent period. 2 has been an utter failure.

What do you know another dogpoop period in a ""must win" game.

Timonen with a turnover that you wouldn't see in pee wee hockey. Thank god he's locked up next year at incredible value.

Agreed on all counts. Last 4 periods he's been fantastic.

They've been a mess all year, did they have a lot of puck bunnies shoot them down this summer?

Its a lot of things. Perfect storm.

Lack of confidence, slumping young guys, a system that needs different D, lack of depth on D. Veteran forwards having really bad years. Injuries. Inability to be a strong team along the boards in all areas of the ice.

I'd be changing up more than the coach.

They've tried one, Laviolette has been highly ineffective at two

at least a half dozen unforced turnovers in the first.

this might be the first Flyers team I've genuinely hated.

#Flyers are just a lost team. The roster has holes but I see a collection of individuals playing with no identity. That is coaching

This sums it up better than I have in the past three weeks
