You guys won't believe me, but if they could identify whoever the worst offenders are for these slow starts and this type of play, I wouldn't blink if they traded whoever it is, tomorrow

I honestly wouldn't care who it is -- I'm dead serious

You have to do more than this. You have to be more than this, at this point of the season, against this team, when you're 4 points out

- AllInForFlyers


i agree. i'd trade anyone on this team. anyone.

Is CAR really that bad a team? GA/G better than a lot of current PO teams, PK is awesome... possession-wise, they're a bit better than the Flyers. I'm thinking if they could shoot just a hair better than 6-7%, they'd be close to a PO spot.

But they can't score -- they have been brutal in scoring this year. They get a point out of Alex Semin, and you just have to shake your head

They're trying, but it looks like 5 guys all pulling in different directions.

I think they are thinking they are going to flip a switch and dominate

Flyers seem to struggle against teams that force quick execution and quick decisions via heavy pressure and speed.

They're not a pushover for sure, but the Flyers aren't matching their effort. Every puck up for grabs there are two Canes to one Flyer.

It's easy to make quick plays when there is no pressure on you. Canes have all day to make plays.

I know, it's not a shock, but JFC -- it's not like the Hurricanes are the only team that plays this way.

Nashville might give you a little more room, but not enough for the discrepancy in play

There are ebbs and flows to the season son. All that matters after 82 games who is in the playoffs and who is not.

You should get a beer for yourself and check back in around April 10th or so. You're going to have a coronary if you can't start seeing the future.

Nashville went to Buffalo right after the Flyers and won in a shootout. I wouldn't say they were at their best on this road trip

They had 7 GD shots after two. Do you think?
