Lets make sure we all cry about the 4 minutes a game Rosehill would have gotten ..I would rather have those 4 minutes then anything Hartnell or Timmonen is bringing right now. ..because that is why this team sucks...

Claude Giroux..first player to ever struggle..lets cut him..

Datsyuk V2 gained some weight this summer so we do that going for us.

other than attempting about 10 shots on goal - and getting half of them blocked - did Giroux do much? I don't remember any nice passes, or good defensive plays, or even a nice body check.

Flyers need to consider a different captain. Or no captain.

I thought he was good in the first period, but maybe I'm nuts. He can't literally turn this around on his own. It's a nice sports cliche, but it's really not a realistic one, especially because he isn't even on the field of play for over half the game.

They should start by cleaning out the cobwebs and replacing the two totally ineffective assistant captains. Striping the C off a young player does no one good.

Vinny and Streit should have the A's plain and simple.

the weight of the C

I don't know if there's any weight to it ... but at some point you need the guy wearing it to be a leader on the ice. And that's just not happening right now.

As a neutral fan I thought what Emery did was totally uncalled for. Holtby wanted none of it.

I fully expect a suspension.

Downie concussed.

So.... Nodl back on the top line?

And Lecavalier out indefinitely with facial injury.

IF ONLY WE HAD TALBOT THIS WOULDNT HAVE HAPPENED!

How does stripping their best player, end of the season he will be where he usually is, of the C do any of the following?

1. Score goals
2. Score goals
3. take 5 years off Timmo
4. Score goals

Quick Question: Have we finally hit rock bottom?

I don't know. But right now they're a flat out embarrassment, and need to consider a multitude of changes - up to and including removing the C from Giroux.

They are an absolutely mess right now, and I want any and all options on the table.

All the people concerned with Downie's discipline and injury history.

17 PIMS, and a concussion. Game.Set.Match

I fully expect a suspension.

I'd like to see one. Can't believe they gave him 3rd star.

A video of Varlamov disguised as a black man beating up his girlfriend has surfaced all over the internet.

You are a joke for saying anything like that. That is disgusting.

This is hilarious! Well, at least they don't make it boring to suck.

Emery had his goalie mask knocked off the series before. wtf is a team going at the goalie like that up 7-0? It wasn't Emery's fault his teammates didn't protect him. You go after our goalie we go after your goalie. We just used our goalie to make it more fair.
