I dont know about that call either.

I want to see it again, but I think Simmonds just tied his stick up and it went flying. Just a horribly called game here.

Great. I can predict the score here.. 3-0 with an ENG.

Looked like the stick broke on the shot not the slash.

They call that every time though. Canadians on Hockey Night in Canada or not.

Yeah that's an unfortunate call but a good defensive play.

I've thought about it and thought about it, and I honestly can't remember the last time (other than last season, obviously) that this team has just not scored at even strength.

Even the team from The Season That Shall Not Be Named scored goals.

I don't know what it's going to take right now -- the scoring just isn't there.

Remember 3 years ago when we were talking about improving the D so Timonen wouldnt have to play such hard minutes?

Probably. Also of note, I think Emery has played well tonight.

Well I was wrong. Yay!

I said it after the first period about Ray and he's kept it up. He and Mason both have had themselves great debuts.

I'd consider tossing Matt Read on that 1st unit with Voracek/Giroux. Put Hartnell on the 2nd unit.

They are playing a responsible brand of hockey. The big problem is they suck at it

Looks like the positives from the first two periods against Toronto were mainly the result of playing a tired team.

This Flyers team full of skilled players is generating no sustained offense against a mediocre defensive club.

Something needs to be shuffled. Just start rotating the top 9 forwards. Maybe something will stick.

Is it too much to ask for the basics of (frank)ing hockey? For the last two seasons this team can't even string passes together. Either it's off line or the receiver can't accept the pass with any sort of skill. The attack is one and done. They have no flow. They run around like chickens with their heads cut off. They're just putrid. This is not a playoff team. I'd be surprised if they finish higher then 5th to worst in the league. I'm freaking falling asleep and I'm pissed I'm wasting my last few hours before work watching a team that hasn't bothered to show up since game one of the preseason.

well I'm happy with Emory and the PK and Lacavalier and especially Read have some jump in their skates, Still overall no one other than Vinnie is driving the net.

They are down 1 goal, but it literally feels like 100.

This is how I felt watching the Orioles try to score in August and September.

This has been some bad, boring hockey tonight.
