At least we should have a fun Chip press conference tomorrow. The media will be out for blood at this point. Potential for a total meltdown on Thanksgiving. This should be good.

There is no fixing that roster like there is with the Flyers. They need a top draft pick in a bad way.

It's a reverse Boston!

And there isn't even a bat at the top of this MLB draft. More pitching. Wooooo.

Forget championships and making playoffs, can a pro team in Philly JUST WIN A (frank)ING GAME!?!?!?

Pathetic barely scratches the (frank)ing surface.

Fixed.

OK, before some of your get your panties in a bunch, I'm kidding. Mostly. Too soon to rip Hextall. But so far his moves other than the draft are not exactly working out great.

has there ever been a sports down that has 2 teams, maybe even 3 even thought I doubt the Flyers end up being that bad or lucky, draft #1 overall in the same calendar year?

When the best you can hope for is to squeak into the last playoff slot, how pissed can you be if the team is bad?

I'm not, giving how they've lacked a goal scoring forward for years, they've done probably what they could to even get the wins they have

Pretty much.
No top pair D
No secondary scoring
special teams struggling
lack of speed, size and skill throughout the lineup

Not exactly a recipe for success

Sir. We aren't going down this road as we are a ways apart. I dont like their D first approach and haven't since they brought in Berube.

- flyer_nutter


They're all reasonable questions. The Flyers don't play with a defense first approach. If the system is going to be blamed, first the system has to be known and identified.

Look at last night's game and the Hoffman and Michalek goals. On both goals, the strong side defenseman is aggressively pinching in on the play, leading to rushes against. Where is the defense first you keep saying the Flyers play?

He can still do that and not be considered the 2nd scoring line.

Look, the goals for average speaks for itself. I'm not solely pinning that on Coots but they do need to fully re-assess the lines top to bottom. I see Coots working best in a defensive role, regardless of how many minutes you give him. I'd like to see a 2C brought in that can really bring the offense and allow Coots to dominate in a defense first role. I think that move is paramount to this team moving forward.

I see Couturier being left in the 2nd line center spot as paramount to the team moving forward. I want to see a LW or RW with speed and offensive creativity bought in to play along side Couturier, to form a better scoring 2nd line.
