i dont mean this as an insult because i typically love his game, but simmonds is absolutely killing you guys out there.

love Berube new system, averaging 10 shots on goal a game will get us the 2nd overall pick in the draft again, after Chicago drafts another Patrick Kane like player

Well I don't know about you guys, but this is definitely the last game I watch for at least a month. I've never seen a Flyers team with absolutely no fight in them before, but this is what it looks like has happened with these losers. Just sit back and wait for the firesale.

PS: Is it just me, or are there plenty of empty seats at the game?

No silver lining to this one
- Marc D


This team is hard to watch. So freaking stupid. Never make the right decision. Never make the simple play. Always hesitate too long and/or telegraph the pass. Pass when they should shoot. Fail to clear the zone at the worst possible time.

I just don't see how, as a team, they can be this collectively stupid. It's like they lose every scrap of hockey sense they ever had when the pull on the sweater.

After tonight, I don't think I'm gonna have to debate the need for more skill, speed and hockey sense to be inserted into this lineup. A lot of it. Multiple players.

There is no way anybody can argue that now.

I couldn't agree more.
- FlyersGrace

usually he is just a physical force and noticeable even if he isnt scoring. he knows his game and just uses is strength to make simple plays. in a stretch where the pretty stuff just isnt working, he is a guy i would hope who could just bull his way into the crease and bank one in.

however, he looked clueless on that rush

It's gotten to the point where I have to mute this garbage commentary. They are such fkn homers, it's comedic. You mean to tell me that the reason why the Flyers can't generate any offensive pressure is because the Pens are playing great defensively?? NO JONESY...It's BECAUSE THE FLYERS EFFIN BLOW CHUNKS. Take off the glasses Richard-head

I actually laughed at that 2-1. Laughed. My roommate said, "how was that funny?"

I didn't answer.

I was dying laughing. Dying when Chris therien was asked on the radio broadcast tue night if he thought Simmonds would make team Canada. He had a hard time with it also

If Snider wont fire him...Holmgren should pull a Clarke say his hearts not in it and resign....this is depressing beyond words

Snider just pulled his key out of his pocket and inserted it into the fail safe device

Getting a quick one here means it's a game again. Other than that, it's over.

not to disagree just for the sake of it, but i still have a hard time saying that there is a lack of skill on this team.

granted, why its not working is not a simple explanation. maybe things do need to be shaken up. but i dont think its that the skill just isnt there.

nothing good ever happens when he leaves the net. some goalies can smother the dump game on their own by playing the puck. he just gets in trouble
