No, Richards was an angel off the ice, for sure.

Disagree. The biggest issue is consistent execution. If you can't complete a simple, basic hockey play, it will suddenly appear that you aren't playing hard, because most of the effort is wasted chasing the puck around.

Like last night, I don't think the Flyers got out worked, they got beat by a team that executed better and dominated the puck.

So you are saying they don't execute because they are not capable. I think we see them capable at times. And if you can do it once, you can do it again. That's why I think it's inconsistent effort.

I've seen Nick Grossmann make a sweet pass to a breaking forward. But he can't do it often or even consistently.

Part of it is skill, part of it is just really questionable hickey sense & comfort with the puck. Nashville followed the Ranger/Lightning blueprint, smart aggressive forechecking, clog lanes and force the Flyer D to make a play.

Our d is overpaid and average. We have 4 3-4 D men and 3 bottom pair guys. Kimmo had lost a step or two anyway. I don't know why we had expectations of this being a playoff team with our blue line.

Schultz is a pleasant surprise only because expectations were sooo low.

It makes no sense to me..
Other than Streit and Schultz every single Flyers dman could have been benched at some point this season.
Still not sure why MDZ has been buried other then the fact that he isn't a slow and lumbering player like L. Schenn or Grossmann.

Maybe someone should let Wayne Simmonds in on the secret.
