The Rosehill comment was just to ruffle feathers based on the comments I've read the last few weeks.

As for MJL, I get what you're saying with his stats, but I'm going to hazard a guess that 80% or more of those goals are from him just banging in pucks in front of the net. Which is a good thing to have, but it doesn't mean that this is a guy who should ever handle the puck when we're trying to work our way up the ice.

You're right, Simmonds is not a guy who should be over handling the puck, or carrying the puck a lot. That's not his game. His game is working the corners and going to the net. Unfortunately, this team as a whole is not getting to the net enough. Not enough traffic around the net. Goaltenders are getting clean looks at the puck.

This franchise couldn't be further away from winning a Stanley Cup, if the games were being played on Jupiter.

With all the success they have enjoyed, it may be complacency setting in.

Cooter looks like he's bored out there, like he was with the phantoms. Looking forward to him turning it on. Malkinator style

Here comes the media crusade against Giroux for not talking to media
- eayost



He wears the C. He is suppose to be the guy that speaks to the media. He is suppose to be the "Leader"!

He has been terrible. The top line has been non-existent. You want to be paid like an elite player well then you need to carry yourself like one.

Couturier had a solid game tonight. One of their best players on the ice.

Its hard to get to the net when the puck isnt getting there. The D-men have lacked the ability to get shots through from the point. The forwards play hot potato with the puck when in the offensive zone.

sigh, this team is soooo fustrating to watch rite now.

Well I certainly agree that in times this Season, such as for most of the 2nd period tonight, when the Flyers were chasing the puck in their own end, for most of the period. That does limit offensive opportunities. But the Flyers have had plenty of opportunities to go to the net. I agree they aren't sharp overall with the puck.
