Bro, this team is bad. Getting upset after losses is a wasted emotion
- PhillySportsGuy

ive been calling for his job a while now

I've defended Berube in the past ... but it's damn hard to do so now.

There's something about him that I've grown to dislike. I don't know ... it's like the players don't want to PLAY for him, or something. Very strange, imo.

Just friggen lose. All these 1 point games are getting this squad into no mans land.

I dislike him, but no matter who you hire, can they fix guys not being able to make a 5 foot pass?

I don't want him here next season, but I don't fire him until end of January or so, if not just wait until the season is over.

why bother?

If I save one, it's worth it

Pitiful.

Just pitiful.

They need to do that just to have a prayer. They go 3-2-1, they're toast.
- Jsaquella

It is truly dire right now -- I'm looking at the standings right now and I'm just like WTF, because that is just sobering

Eight points back, no games in hand. Six points behind another team that has flat-out owned you in the regular season and they have two games in hand on you

Four teams in front of you and tied with three others

Man, that is some dire poop

i love that this dude broke a bunch of bones.

i wish he would have broken the rest of them.

I'd rather have Bono on this team than Vinny.

That's pretty damn bad.

The worst breakout team I've seen in a long time.

He will live forever. He'll be one of those 95 year old guys still touring

That 20% chance at the #1 pick and no lower than 2nd is a nice thought isn't it?

pretty sure kim jong un is plotting his demise right now.

Yeah, it's getting close to the point where it's not how many points out they are, but rather how many teams they have to jump.

I doubt he's getting fired ... I think the season is his.

I can't pin it down, though ... there's just something about the Chief and his interaction with the team that bugs me.

Berube needs to go now

he's clueless... thats what it is

His funeral would be made up of thousands who were proud of him but glad he's gone

is the plane for TO leaving already?

There's a lot that bugs me. Questionable line decisions, uneven accountability, usage questions, strategic adjustments in game....I'm not a fan. I agree he probably stays coach the entire season, unless the train goes completely off the rails

Team will fly him to Winnipeg then fire him there

I disagree. He's the only one that can sink this ship.

Vinny first up in the shootout. Classic.

Here is my take on the shootout and feel free to line up and call me stupid.

Most fans who do not like the shootout are either old school, in a losing market when it comes to the shootout and then some do not believe it's a team sport. These I suppose are reasonable arguments. Some may even believe they've been robbed if they lost in a shootout. I'm not sure I feel less robbed if I went to a game live that ended in a 1-1 tie, which I have. It was an empty feeling, even knowing that the league has ended in in ties since forever. For me though, the game always has to end with the puck beating the goalie and landing in the net.

This idea that Ken Holland has been pushing for years of 3 on 3 to me is how this fan base approaches trading for a guy like Evander Kane for Brayden Schenn. Just this very idea of the grass being greener on the other side. As some know I live in Detroit and they are just now complaining non-stop about the shootout on the radio but it has everything to do with the fact they haven't won one in a while. They're whining like losers because they're losing. Two weeks ago it wasn't even thought of as a topic until there most recent skid and the way they've been losing.

I look back at the most thrilling 3 on 3 during the 2012-13 season where the Flyers faced a team I can't even remember but I do remember Carle basically juggling Jagr and Briere in the offensive zone. It was fun to watch but it to me really depends on the players you put out there. I really only believe Giroux, Voracek and one of Streit and MacDonald can be successful in 3 on 3. The other guys might not be skilled enough or fast enough for all the open space.

Nicolas Grossmann, Luke Schenn, maybe even Simmonds and guys lower on the depth chart aren't going to see ice time anymore then they would in a 4 on 4 OT or a shooutout. Plus the shootout conserves time and angry for the players. The league has already stopped Zamboni-ing the ice (For a lack of a better word) so fans can get home, while trying to beat traffic because of complains of staying late. 4 on 4 and then 3 on 3 just keeps them later.

I'm open to change but I think they'll always be another debate just waiting once the change is made.
