Matter of time

When you play from behind all the time, you're often going to sag once you tie it up. And that class, is why its a really bad idea to fall behind every damn game

you could see that coming ...

this team reacts SO SLOW to loose pucks, especially in their own zone.

- FlyerGuy


they're just really bad at clearing the puck when they have the chance. they tend to make soft plays off the glass and wall that just bounce to the blueline for the opposition dmen to keep the puck in and generate offense. it happens over and over and over and over and over. i'm (frank)ing sick of it.

and they miss the net a ton. jake missing the net put that whole sequence into action. and then read misses a point blank wide open chance from the slot. sigh.

Slow and dumb are never a good combination, and that's what the Flyers look like a lot of times. Hence why they have such a hard time clearing the damn puck from their zone time after time.

Really needed Mason to shut the door.

Kid needs to get his game back.

If Mason was playing badly tonight, it would be 6-2 already.

Haha that as well. Berube really needs to get them to pull it back in. Too loose the last month and a half.

100% agreed. its one thing being slow, its another to be slow and not be able to read the play, not cover people because your watching the puck, be out of position, or not being smart with the puck when you do have it.

Whatever players they add in the offseason all need to have one thing in common. Speed!

Its probably just a hot streak, but why the hell do you not have Meszaros out right now.

As much as I love Berube.. I really miss the fire and intensity that Lavy brought. Not saying Berube doesnt because im sure he does.

Maybe, I JUST MISS LAVY

he's been fine. the truth is the team gives up way too many good scoring chances, and too many shots. they're a bad defensive team, simple as that. nothing less than perfection and some luck is going to keep this team under 3 goals a night. it's a lot to ask.

In the grand scheme of things, I definitely agree.

That back end does them no favours. They have to cover up for it on most nights.

As our good friend AllInFlyers would say, 2016

Will be a rough few years, and kind of a frustrating game but you really do have some great guys in Simmonds/Giroux.

I cant stand to see Luke Schenn on this team anymore, just a constant reminder of a horrid trade by Homer. He has swung some good ones but this was one will always hurt.
