Maybe if the Flyers got away from this terrible music they'd look half decent.

Sure. 1st goal was a leaky rebound by Mason, and then he flubbed the clear attempt. Second goal DSP was stationed in front and scored on deflection as PP ended. Flyers sagged after 1st goal after a decent start

We all know the D is a mess, but I'm really starting to be concerned about the forwards as well. I think a lot of them are overrated by us fans and perhaps by the organization.

Giroux is a world class player no doubt, but he is a bit below the Crosby/Toews level. Lets face it, he wasn't left off the olympic team because he grabbed Yzerman's ass.

Voracek and Simmonds are above average players, but not superstars.

Couturier is an excellent penalty killer and checker, but the jury is still out on whether he can succeed in a top 6 role.

Read and B Schenn are solid, but far from spectacular players and the rest are average or below average.

Sure the D is a mess, but they really need to find some top end talent up front as well. I think Hextall is a smart guy and has a plan. It wouldn't shock me in the least if this team struggles both this year and next before they put it all together. Hopefully they can draft some top end talent up front to go with their excellent group of D prospects in the next 2 drafts.

Gonna be a long winter.

No it's not. In a fantasy league, it would be denied by the League Commissioner every time.

If you started being pessimistic when I did, you wouldn't be so deeply depressed.

Do people really think another coach would solve a lot of these problems?
