It's discouraging, but it's also one game...come out, have a strong third period and forget this mess.
- Jsaquella

It is a little disappointing, but there are some good things happening elsewhere to be happy about -- as of this moment, Columbus and Carolina are both down a couple of goals, and Ottawa's taking the same kind of beating we are

Pretty easy choice there... if they can swing it.

yep.

I haven't been right for nearly 22 years

What the hell happened?

I'm absolutely flabbergasted that after one game back from the break, in this game, there is talk of trading Lecavalier. How many turnovers has Lecavalier made leading to a goal? How many coverages has Lecavalier blown in this game, leading to a goal?

over the past 2 or 3 years it sure seems like the Flyers TAKE these kind of beatings a WHOLE helluva lot more often than they dish them out.

Flyers trying their new Zero Slot Coverage

They just got strafed in the second -- Joe Pavelski found all the goals he couldn't score for Team USA when it mattered

No doubt
You won't be the Sharks playing bonehead, soft hockey.

It didn't help that Mason wasn't very sharp...not that he's to blame, but his rebound control was not very good. Some of it's rust, but I don't like how it snowballed after the third San Jose goal. That's what's irking me.

That was happening early in the season, one bad thing would become three or four, and they'd beat themselves. I just want a good strong third period, with a good effort and sharp play

Its not any one thing, he just looks like a fish out of water on the wing

Theres enough blame to go around. Its difficult to evaluate any player in a game like this. They all sucked.

Well- it's one game. Go out, play a clean 3rd, then carry it over into the week.

Damage control.

It is what it is...No matter what happens elsewhere, Flyers need to take care of their own knitting...but yeah, nice to see the other teams battling them are getting beat, too.

How ineffective does Lecavalier look on the wing? How long can they possibly keep him on the wing if he continues to look so lost? Is it better to trade B Schenn?

18 players getting ice time. 6 of them have a +/- of 0 or better. VL is one of them.

Why he's taking heat I don't understand. He looks lost? That's normally what it looks like when one player knows how to play, and the other 4 stumble around mindlessly.

IMO!

He is terrible out there. He drags that line down. It's a shame raffl can't get time on that line. We all know he's more deserving.

yup one game when you're fighting to get into the playoffs

A good 3rd would be nice, they cannot afford a losing streak at this point in the season

I imagine Kimmo would have helped. I don't know if he would have stopped this avalanche

Yup one of them.

There's 20 of them left.

Exactly -- fourth line hurting you, brutal turnover, soft on the wall and down low and in the slot...nobody should be happy after this one

Unless he played the first 40 minutes...

I don't want either player traded just because. I'm rooting for both of them to succeed.

- Just5

I disagree that he's been terrible out there tonight. It's just scapegoating in a 6-2 game.
