No, it's (frank)tards like him that put me in a foul mood. The team has yet to play a minute of a game, and you've got people fortelling of their guaranteed last-place finish because of the coach or the 4th line.

The coach has made 1 decision that has gotten good applause (Mason starting, get his confidence up, have veteran on bench in case) and 1 decision that, really, isn't that big, especially since some people didn't think Laughton should be playing anyway. And some people act like Lavi's the worst coach in the history of the NHL. I'd tell that person to refrain from watching Flyers' games until Lavi is gone.

Personally, I think Hall gives them a better chance to win than Laughton.

I'm actually quite surprised at Mason getting the start tonight, although it's not the end of the world. I just hope he comes out and plays like he did at the end of last year.

Hmmm.... 1978....

Concerns over Lavi span back to the 2011-2012 playoffs. That's why he gets some rough treatment and some of it is warranted. That being said, I think we owe him a good 20 games before calling for his head. I'm willing to forget last year an look forward to this season and see if there are improvements in areas of concerns. I think the talent is there now it's time for the execution.

Way to overreact. Go jump off a (frank)ing building.

I knew last year was going to be a disaster....its going to be the same poop this year unless lavy gets fired..my opinion i can state it. Just keep wearing those orange colored shades bud...

But he has played quite a bit of wing over the last year and he doesn't seem any more comfortable than he did before.
- PhillySportsGuy

I wouldn't say quite a bit, but as played there some. Give him some time.

Double-digit goal totals in his first five seasons.

Then really, stop watching the games until he gets fired. Why watch this horribly coached wreck of a team?

You seem like the kid who couldn't wait to scream, "BRYZ YOU SUCK!" after he made a nice kick save int he season opener last year. Not a damn thing's happened, yet you just want to complain about a problem from year's past.

Hmm he has a career winning percentage of .573, 2 trips to the finals and a cup. Yup, he's utterly incompetent.

Look Lavy has frustrated me at time and I would have been fine with a new coach this season. However some of you make him sound like the 2nd coming of Wayne friggin Cashman, and that's just ridiculous. He has a pretty good track record and deserves at least half a season or so to show what he can do with this team.

18 year old Macallan is Big Boy hooch and I heartily approve.

I can't vouch for the chocolate.....

Probably shouldn't discount the benefit of being around pros and practicing against NHL players, though.

I remember Brayden Schenn being around the Kings for almost half the season while only getting into a few games and that directly led to him destroying the WJC's and WHL that year.

glad they're giving mason the shot tonight

Yup believe it or not I'm a dude who drinks single malt scotch and likes chocolate. Who'd a thunk it??

Actually, me too.

Pleasantly surprised. Hopefully, Mason rises to the occasion.

How can anyone not like chocolate? Plus it actually goes really well with good scotch, try it.

I can see the match up, but I more prefer a cigar with really good scotch.
