Sarcasm, right?

I do think this team has talent, they're just missing a heartbeat. And that's a serious problem. They should visit a Dr immediately.

Maybe we can trade Simmonds to the sixers for the moose mascot, it's all about entertaining the kids now

The Flyers schedule has really been a cupcake so far. We may be looking back on this disaster in 3 weeks as the good old days.

Ha! Habit (and a bad one, I know). In a former career, I wrote a lot, almost always the same length...that one.

Sorry.

- AllInForFlyers



hmmm interesting i almost asked if there was a reason... what was the former career?

- FlyerGuy


I think you're right about team speed; they have some individuals with wheels, but on the whole they are likely average. But I do think this team has quite a bit of talent, they're missing leaders, players who lead by example, heart, and chemistry. I have no idea how you fix that.

Phil E Moose was the best thing to happen to this town in years and he never really existed.

the team has talent ... but it's a bad mix.

there's just not enough burn-your-ass speed, or puck handling ability, or good passers.

i wasn't. in fact, i knew he'd score tonight, pretty much exactly the way he did. so sadly predictable.

1.46 GPG over a 15 game span is remarkable.

there's too much skating required to be a good team. my belief is that if they would just REDUCE the size of the rinks we'd be a helluva team!

What do you think is going through Holmgren's mind right now?

He is probably considering either to burn it all or give Mez a 5 year 5 million dollar deal with full NMC
