Well I'm sure you'd agree, that needs to change. And it's been going on for a while. I don't know why it happens, but I have an idea of how it can be fixed.

i was saying it's not specific to the flyers. it happens to all teams in all sports.

please share your solution...would love to hear it.

How?

Accountability. True and real accountability doesn't come from coaches and executives. It comes from players. There's always going to be some games over an 82 game season, where a team just doesn't have it's legs, or has players affected by injury that changes the team. But you see it in top teams such as LA. And it's obvious they have a culture in place there. If you're going to play on that team, then there is a certain way you're going to play. And they won't except anything less then your all. And the players themselves will police that. When a team as a whole truly buys in, that's when great things happen. I don't know why the Flyers seem to have an issue there, and why they have inconsistency in their play. But they do. They need to create that culture.

2 great ones as well, quite obviously.

Obscure-ish ones that I really dig are Tonight and Ticking. I like the long piano ones

I'm working hard on The King Must Die too. That's a fun one to play. It's coming along.

They need a Chris Pronger, the guy who can come into a locker room and look every player in the eye and let them know if they need to step it up. But I think there are about 3 of those guys currently in the league. That would be a help, though.

Agreed. ACDC has 3 songs, they just mix in different words. But it's a good 3 songs.
- jmatchett383


They're also very entertaining live.

Yep. ACDC is better than the most overrated band in music history.

"Influential" and "good" are often miscontrued as the same thing.

Well, we all have opinions, and you're allowed to have one that's wrong.

WOULD YOU RATHER:

A) ONLY be allowed to listen to Justin Bieber's "catalog" for the rest of your life

OR

B) The Rangers, Penguins and Blackhawks win the cup for the next 10 years

If I choose A, do the Flyers win the Cup within those 10 years? Because I could see at least the 3 Cups going to those teams within the next 10 years.

Well I would say I disagree, but it's really just an opinion.

I'll give my opinion and simply say that ACDC isn't even in the conversation of being on the level that Led Zeppelin was as a band. imo
