Meh thought it would be fun to guess.

call me silly but the Flyers getting their asses kicked 6-0 and playing like they don't want to be there has been not in a guessing mood

definitely a bad mix.

seems WAY short of speed and skill.

- FlyerGuy

I really think all the problems in this team lie in the D corps.

The D turns the puck over about 10 times a game and they're usually absolutely terrible. They are terrible with outlet passes and breakouts.

I don't think the top 9 is as bad as people make it out to be, but I think if we see a new "infusion" of the D, it can turn around the team without having to do much to the offense.

How you ask? Who do we trade for, you ask? I have no (frank)ing idea.

No way Timo should be playing ahead of Mez right now. He looks like he has cement in his skates.
- jstross

can't skate, and not strong enough to win many puck battles.

I love the guy's heart, but Mez has clearly played better. Timo needs to sit alongside Rosehill.

Ive said it a thousand times but after the last season of suck Snider said the flyers would never again trade kids or picks....they would get back to the grassroots of the 70's and 80's where they built from within. that lasted a year or so. I am open to a trade but I still want to hold onto the kids they have. if this season continues like this I would try to move veterans for picks or prospects but that is a long way down the road.

this team needs an infusion of speed and skill. there is talent but something is wrong with the mix.

- nastyflyergirl



Last year was a great opportunity to start the rebuild with the young players. Keep the 4th they traded for a rental and get whatever you can for the aging vets...The resist the Streits and Lecav types.

Simply I think you need to build a team from the D out

Team is worse than the bobo candy my son brought home last night.
- hereticpride


I really do expect Homer to be gone very soon here. After each move they get worse. These are the types of games that gms fired

I'd settle for a couple of Phantoms, and let slowpokes Timo and Grossmann sit.

you're right, a lot of the issues are based on this defense.

Wow this team just flat out sucks. Time to bring back McGinn he can at least score. This is embarrassing. Fraud Giroux, Jake, Hartnell are they even playing? Where is the heart, the leadership and the talent?

How the hell are people even still at this game

I was kind of hoping that the C would have been stripped off of Giroux in between periods.

Yup cant see any way that Alt and Lauridsen could be worse. Also bench Simmonds and get McGinn back in the lineup tomorrow.

I think that if the caps played without their goalie that the Flyers still couldn't score.

Really?
You could have Bowman in here coaching and this team would still not have enough offense.

Gimme a break..that looked like a good hit also.
