That's gotta be in there.

Another 2-1 loss. Mason hung out to dry again.

Time to get Yak. I'm sick of this.

Someone needs to make a gif of that fan they were showing. He epitomizes the entire fan base I think

Bah, that's crap...that guy looked like he just lost his girlfriend, his dog, his job and his apartment all in one afternoon. It was like someone lied and told him it was a playoff game. He was wayyy overboard.

I can't believe noone could cast Malholtra. He's not that fast.

I can't believe they lost that game. Once again they didn't come close to the 3 goal mark. Without that one 3 goal game they would've set the futility record for goal scoring at the beginning of the season. What is that 13 of 14 games scoring less than 3 goals?

Yet again facing a short handed team with an AHL goalie. Loss.

I can. I truly believe they are that slow.

Knew when they declared Steve Mason the player of the game that they were done and going to close.

Nope, I wouldn't. Especially if it meant giving up Coburn, arguably our best (and certainly fastest) dman this season.

Team needs a statement trade. Because they aren't listening to anyone in the organization.
- hereticpride

We have a statement trade every season. I think that may be part of the problem.

Haha I rewound and saw it. I think maybe last year we looked like that. Apathy has set in now I don't think it's a true representation

I cannot believe that just happened. Carolina is decimated by injuries, and we played to see if we could win 1-0 vs a 3rd string backup. Our captain then blows a coverage in the last minute of play... they a defensive vet with basically no vision in 1 eye scores on a breakaway in OT.. wow.

I'd line up on the ice right fn now for a bag skate a la Herb Brooks. Heck if thy're gonna play like amateurs, might as well treat them like amateurs.

At the very least the C needs to come off Giroux's jersey, he just doesnt deserve to wear it.

Carolina had 18 takeaways. Philly had 4.

This team needs to grow a set and out work other teams. So disgusted.

they gotta be the worst passing team in the league.
- FlyerGuy


I won't carve them because we all just saw it. But they are easily one of, if not the worst, passing, skating and shooting teams in the league right now. They just...the skill/talent level...they tried hard tonight.

But if you can't pass well, skate well, shoot well, handle the puck well, receive passes well...then yeah. Scoring is gonna be an issue.

I just can't get past the fact that G was on the ice. Was he on for a face off? Wtf, he's one of the worst defensive forwards in the league. Help me hockey experts. I liked the Talbot trade, but if the coach doesn't like any of his other D centers then there's a problem.

let's see ... an excruciatingly boring 1 - 0 win over the Devils ... and an excruciatingly boring 2 - 1 OT loss to the Canes.

I guess Thursday's game will be an excruciatingly boring shoot out win over the Devils, followed by an excruciatingly boring loss to the Oilers on Saturday.

maybe I'll just skip the next few games until a major trade is made.

they are certainly the worst first-touch team i've ever seen. other teams don't always make tape to tape passes but players make a nice touch on the puck and retain control and even make a play. when schenn missed that pass when he was all alone in front of the goal i almost threw my own unit through the tv

I haven't been entertained for a full game in years it feels like.

Still gotta replace him, and he's still been one our best defensive players.

No more articles from local press on "culture change" or whatever narrative they are pushing.

Write me a goddamn story on why Claude Giroux is playing like he's completely disinterested in hockey. Find out what his problem is.

That is the big story about what's wrong with this team right now.

We're getting close to the 20 game mark here. It looks like a bottom 5 finish to me. I can't believe they are this terrible and not getting better. 14 games in and Giroux has zero goals...zero.

We all act apathetic on the outside, but in our hearts, deep down.... it hurts.
