I debated whether to use that hahaha.......it's more fitting for the situation

Yea there was a lot of uncertainty out there, and some sloppy play. They had a morning skate to work on the new system and thats it. I'm actually pleased, a lot of the mistakes tonight are fixable going forward.

You're more optimistic than me.

It was just nice to get a win when they clearly weren't prepared to run a new system.

"So, it's been a while since you got a goal...what was it like?"


- tangent_man

that's a clown question, bro.

I'm surprised by the negativity in here. I dont know how you could expect them to look good tonight. I'm seeing a more cohesive team coming out of the zone. More support. There's definitely a lot of work to get done.
- Just5

There were some positives in the game. But overall, the intensity still wasn't there. The Flyers aren't going to beat a lot of teams with that effort that they gave tonight. Regardless of the changes.

I feel like that's something Hitler would do...

You sir, have no place on Craig Berube's Flyers.

Newberry did a nice job the last game so I thought he should have been in tonight. I dunno, how about rewarding solid play with another game?
- nastyflyergirl

Id play Newbury or Raffl over him. I dont understand why he dresses with no enforcer on the other side

Philly media typical. Coburn shoulda slapped him.

Nope. I couldn't place the voice, though.

When I first read it, I read "accountability mother(frank)er" with a russian accent.

haha, yeah ... he looked like he was gonna.

seriously. how can you phrase a question like that ... without TRYING to be insulting?

FINALLY obviously the chief had some influence and pulled it out,,,still need some work but its a start

I think that game set hockey back about 25 years.

That was pretty ragged play.

Really? I saw massive amounts of effort. It is the 3rd game in 4 nights. I dont think you can look or play at peak intensity with a brand new system installed. There's uncertainty and mistakes will happen

What is wrong with them? Writers always want to be treated so well by athletes and get all upset when they are turned down for interviews.

I think the Flyers beat writers are the rudest writers I've ever seen. EVER

I like when they phrase a question like "I don't mean for this to be insulting..." then they go on to ask some insulting question.

Thanks for the preface. That makes everything ok.

Mason has looked really good thus far, playing behind a team that isn't playing well. That is certainly encouraging.

Well, I'm a real reactionary type

Why not McGinn? He did well last year. Raffl will be up this year.

I'm not saying it's alright for a player to punch a writer, but it wouldn't be surprising to any of us.

- Just5

I'm not overly concerned about the mistakes. I think that will get cleaned up. The Coach just got fired. I would think that they would've been more fired up. They've played 4 games and have been outworked in every game. Including tonight. And yes, you absolutely can play with peak intensity with a new system. They had one practice. I guarantee that massive changes were not made.

What about the new lines, thoughts

Why not McGinn? He did well last year. Raffl will be up this year.
- LJF

I hope McGinn gets another shot. I'm more for the team-toughness concept than the sole-enforcer concept.

McGinn/Simmonds/Rinaldo should be able to handle most things on most nights, if need be.
