Meaning they made the playoffs this year with the 7th best record so they are deserving......but the difference between the Flyers and the Capitals is wide

I know what you meant, I was reinforcing your comment to the stupid post you were referring to.

I don't mind losing to a better team. I didn't see the Flyers winning this series. but it drives me nuts to see them man handled. this team works hard and plays physical but they are just too small.

Preach.

Pendulum has swung a little too far.

Agreed 100%

Weren't the Bullies born out of being man handled like this?

Konecny will likely transition to RW. Not that that doesn't create a log jam as well.

Could the Flyers use another top six forward to add some much needed offense to this anemic attack? Sure, and I'm certain Hextall could have found one or two 30 something/past their prime/cap unfriendly players at the TD.

And as frustrating as it is to watch games such as these, I'm glad he didn't and stayed the course by not moving their future for them.

I'm Pissed that they don't seem to be responding physically. Just looks like they are going to take it every time and not respond with a solid hot on their stars.

too small but not fast either. too many players of the size of 28 52 21. even Simmonds, while strong, isn't big. he is built like a bean pole. the defense is small as well.

It's almost as if they're playing not to make the loss worse. All period.

They got manhandled in 2011.

Nothing's changed.

Yeah, Snider was furious about how the Blued pounded them. I just want to see more size. Its why I hated the JVR trade not that he is physical. Size with skill and skating ability

Idk if he's ever actually played any extended time at center in the OHL. He's primarily a RW, but this year he also played some LW. Yay versatility! But idk if he's capable of playing center.

ah my bad then.

And good.

And how many scrambles are there going to be in front of Holtby before someone puts one in?

They did this earlier in the year.

Far too focused on officiating and not getting calls against you.

It's frustrating. I don't need them to be the bullies or whatever, but I like my Flyers teams a little more mean I suppose.

I'd doing everything in power if I'm Hextall to move up in this draft. They need a big gun.

I could really go for a Claude Giroux sighting right about now.

Well the GM has changed. Moves will be made. You can see that the forwards aren't cutting it.
