Four years later, it's still too soon

Roob...I know it's the preseason man but we can't roll G out there?

(frank)ing disgrace.

BREAKING NEWS

Akeson cut from the shootout line up.

The Flyers will never be a good shootout team. Just like they'll never finish outside the top 20 in PIMS

brayden coburn -2 hah git rid of him

G needs to go first every single time

wtf was that?

He had the five hole. I have no clue how Peters got enough of a piece of it. It looked like he kicked it with his back leg to the corner after it passed under his butt. I expect nothing less.

O well. I think they played a really good game overall. Now its time for the real season to start.

i'm convinced this is true. 20 years from now, assuming the shootout is still part of the game, it will be EXACTLY the same thing.

Well at least the bob ryab fist movement is dead.

If berube sent our best player out first we might still be playing.

I try really hard because I know there are points at stake in the regular season, but even after all this time, I still can't bring myself to give a (frank) about the shootout.

I still think the old rules apply: Dominate at home, get a point on the road, make the playoffs. It still holds true, with as awful as the Flyers have been, they still haven't missed because of it -- though yes, in 2010, they got in because of one

I hope we never have to go to a shootout with NJ. Hell, that will probably go 100+ rounds where the fans will have to decide who wins.

Personally, I would rather send him back. I just don't feel this current roster is conducive to breaking in a 19 year old defenseman. They lack the necessary depth to shield him and they lack the strong two-way play from forwards to offer good support.

I would look to reshuffle the forwards next offseason when VL and Umberger may be easier to move. Then, create 4, strong, two-way lines and attempt to break in some much more polished defenseman.
- PhillySportsGuy

I felt the team played a solid overall defensive game tonight. Including Umberger and Lecavalier.

I am so sure of it. I've come to accept that they're not getting a 2nd point once it goes to the shootout.
