How soon will they call up someone from the AHL or trade for a third line winger? Or sign one as a FA.

I can't believe Rinaldo is going to be up with BSchenn and Couturier for long.

Never thought I would see the Craig Berube era. Well since it is upon us, might as well start winning some (frank)ing games.

If the forwards start playing better team defense, and provide more options in the transition game, the defense will be much improved.

Not to be negative but if the Flyers don't improve I think a trade will go down in the coming weeks.

he's next on the clock. if the team fails to qualify for the playoffs- which will be no easy feat- i expect hexy will assume the GM role.

You've been here long enough to know that sense making is frowned upon, and borders on witchcraft.

A lockerroom shaking trade is the last bullet left in the chamber for Holmgren.

I have zero doubt of it. And if they don't improve, I'd welcome a trade.

The onus is on the players and Holmgren now. If the kids we think so highly of start playing at or near that level, they should be fine. I have faith they can turn it around, but it will soon be put up or shut up time.

I'd wait. You've got to give Mr. Chief a few games to see what happens. I still believe that, if this team plays with passion and a purpose and is able to play good, positional hockey, they're as good a team as most. On paper, they're still not in the same breath as Pittsburgh/Chicago/Boston/LA, but they're a damn good team.

Well, that'd be up to Ron Hextall.

But yeah, I could see some level of excavating. Can't stand pat if the boat is sinking

Winning a few puck battles along the boards and not making blind passes in the defensive zone would be a good start!
