They haven't been lighting it up back there either. Two bad goals last night, one on Mason (don't get you stick in so tight that your pad pushes it aside) and one on Schenn (Don't pass the puck up the middle or try to thread it through the forward's feet dunce). The first two games they gave up 3 and 4 goals.

They're just one of a fist full of problems but please don't leave them out.

Maybe if the Flyers clear the puck one of the 3 tries they had that shift and don't let the guy walk in with movement in front of Mason, he makes the save.

B-B-B-But he's good on breakouts...
He's like a poor man's Mike Green, and Mike Green's pretty horrid defensively.

Not a bad analogy. But at 5.2 million per, I would call Steit a rich man's Matt Carle.

Snider said the #Flyers' training camp was the worst he's seen in 40 years.

I find that hard to believe lol

He's like a poor man's Christian Ehrhoff, who is a poor man's Mike Green, who is a poor man's Paul Coffey... so yeah.

get the tunein app. Then look up 590 The Fan.

I hadn't been so informed at that point.

Now I'm torn. Does Dreger have sources? Did the Flyers think about firing Laviolette or just wake up this morning and do it? There's so much evidence that it's true but I've been reassured that it's not.
- mayorofangrytown

They called Paddock and Lappy and offered them jobs and then promoted Chief AND fired McCarthy and Lavi all by 9 AM this morning? I think not.

Losing board battles and making stupid cross ice passes and not finishing clear cut chances has nothing to do with a system! It is about hockey IQ and ability/talent. Yes G and Jake are very talented upper echelon players...Schenn X2 and Couturier I don't see it. Just because you are drafted highly doesn't equate to success in the NHL!
- aantny88

Couturier and B Schenn are 20 years old. B Schenn is still basically in his 2nd NHL Season, and has yet to play a full NHL Season.

Matter of opinion there.
I would say that lava and Hitch have been better than any in house hire and I think you can keep going back way farther and find the same.
No factual data here, just a ....gut feeling

Wow! Tough crowd! Making it to a conference final after finishing as the worst team in the league doesn't count for anything, then losing to the eventual Cup champion when your top two defensemen were out?

- jmatchett383

Nope. He still doesn't make that save.

I bashed my head into a shelf last week when Dreger said it.
- mayorofangrytown

Wait, what? Dreger said Berube might be coach last week?

Schenn is 22.

Your logic tears at my HB belief system.

Snider is not coming on today.. they said they will try to get him on tomorrow.

Really? Yikes... well then maybe you shouldn't have brought him back for this year.

What logic?

Snider is not coming on today.. they said they will try to get him on tomorrow.
- mikel33

still talking about the team, which is great. can't get that here. (frank)ing local sports media sucks.

They must have had this disaster plan drawn up since last season.

Bugger. Now they are talking about Hextall. Saying he will be the GM sooner rather than later. Also, Berube apparently has been signed to a multi year deal.

Say what you want, I love Snider. Wouldnt trade him for any other owner.

exactly.

They are basically spending the whole hour talking about it.

- bradleyc4

He just talks to people, he doesn't know what the Flyers are thinking. is a coincidence, no?

i'm a snider fan, but lately, things aren't going very well.

And ironically 50% of the morning team consist of Morganti and Keith Jones.. Its almost like a philosophy to not talk hockey.
