Yeah, definitely.

I have a lot of feels about this one. One thing that stands out to me is, Giroux and Voracek look good offensively and our most dangerous but I feel like they're slowly down by Raffl. It's not about no longer having Hartnell as it is never replacing him.

- SuperSchennBros


It's starting to look like Raffl just can't finish on that line. I don't lament the loss of Hartnell that much but it doesn't look like the move has been good for the top line.,

It's just a mess. This is not a good team right now
- PhillySportsGuy

yeah. i understand the debate and that a lot of people will probably disagree, and i know it doesnt really mean much on paper, but from a purely talent based evaluation i still see them as a team that should be competing for the playoffs.

and i know two players is no small ho hum transaction scoop off the waiver wire, but they really only seem to be that away from being a good bit better.

It's apparent our D isn't very good. We've been average at best since losing Pronger and have gotten worse year by year but does the top line look dangerous to you right now? I don't. At least not against these guys. Even with some pressure.

Losing Timonen was the real killer. They just weren't equipped to replace him. He was their best defenseman last year

It would be nice to pull off a hockey trade to get a legit top 6 LW that is strong on the boards.

looks like we'll need at least 2 goals on this PP to have a shot.

Blackhawks made the Flyers 2nd PP unit look pedestrian. MDZ's shot was completely nullified.
