I honestly don't know what the (frank) they do when the plane lands here but they instantly forget how to play D. Every year. Every (frank)ing game.

Schultz blew the coverage by not doing anything. Can't blame Coburn, he had two choices and both sucked.

We have to blame Coburn. Its the 2nd or 3rd Commandment ( I can't keep them all straight) of this board.

thats what i would be wanting to hear/try too.

i understand patience. dont go for guys like phaneuf or a name just to keep trying to compete. but really, it would suck to wait until giroux and voracek are pushing 30 and above.

- stayinthefnnet


It's frustrating, because this league is so jacked up right now. You can't get what you need without sucking.

They need another winger to get Umberger out of the Top 9, and they really need two of these young defensemen to develop and be difference makers

It can't take five years. Two of these defenders have to be ready to rock in three years. They have got to be

Oh believe me...I'm not actually blaming any one player. All I'm saying is Bufflin walked in front of the net, crossed through the crease, and got a shot off un(frank)ingcontested

manning is inconsistent but gets consistent enough to win superbowls, roethlisberger has no equal to getting it done with no O-line.... brad johnson put up numbers cause he does what qb's need to do read the defense/protect the football.... btw roethlisberger will be in the hall of fame.
- JoeRussomanno


I'll give you Roethlisberger, but Manning is a current day Jim Plunkett. Johnson's comparable to guys like Bartkowski, Gabriel & Eason. Good starter, gaudy numbers, but not elite.

Remember when the Flyers used to be the more physical team? It wasn't just something visiting team announcers would preach during the pre-game?

Good Lord -- I admire Michael Raffl's toughness

But, um...we're sure we don't want Byfuglien? Absolutely 100 percent????

You can win without pounding guys. Unfortunately this team doesn't skate well enough to play that style all that effectively.

That would be Coburn. Schultz was supposed to have coverage but Coburn essentially chose to skate away from the play following his man.

What would we even do with him?

I'm serious. Not being negative. But what do you do with him? Does Laughton go to 4C? Do you trade Laughton?

I'd rather they get a No. 1 defenseman, somehow
