It's a shame the PP stunk so bad. Could've been a different series if it didn't.

Good season. Obviously a lot to work on still, but the future is indeed bright.

- feelingkettle


The adjustments came a little slow to the PK, they played with more pressure tonight but the first few games they just sat back far too much.

The PP needs some work, Jake is not good on that side for whatever reason this year. Cant hit the net.

Flyers need one more gun up front.

Wonder what kind of series it would've been with coots and MDZ in the fold. Oh well, great season. Exceeded everyone's expectations. Can't wait to see the caps get destroyed in round 2.

well, based on talent, we didn't really expect the Flyers to do much better than make the Caps earn the series win. And that they did.

The future is bright in Flyers land.

If Neuvirth starts the series, you guys have a serious chance at winning. Go figure

Can I just say how proud I am of that defense core.

Schultz is an absolute warrior.

Manning played a hell of a series.

- flyer_nutter


They were great for what they are. Still need many new bodies there.

Players I want to unequivocally get rid of are streit, read, umberger. Retain non of the ufas

At a minimal

shocker. trade up was for zeke elliot, just to be sure dallas didnt get him
- stayinthefnnet

nah no way we didn't trade up to not pick a QB it would be awesome to take Dallas's opportunity to get a QB for once away too

Sometimes the other team is just better.

Nothing wrong with that. My only real issue with this run, if I have to find something to female dog about is the play of the "core forwards". I am sure the injury report will shed some light but you have to produce a little.

Cannot just rely on secondary scoring.

A healthy Voracek would have done them wonders. I dont for a second think he or Giroux were.

Want to see the injury report for sure..

Disappointed with the outcome but not with the year overall.

The needs on this team are apparent.

- TobyFlenderson


Coots really hurt going down. The defense is going to need 2 other guys besides MDZ returning to constantly compete with the elite teams like the Caps.

What a great season by the flyers. Far surpassed all expectations!

Proud of this bunch. They gave it hell

It was a good year...I can finally see light at end of the tunnel. Hexy has some work too do...but the list is getting smaller.

- 2Real

haha nah I know man I was only kidding. while I have my own thoughts on why this trade up was pretty dumb, i don't think they would be that dumb to take anyone but a QB.

and honestly, i dont even think dallas was going QB anyway. they can't help themselves.

Another thing.

Say what you will but we may have a power forward starting to rise in Brayden Schenn.

Hell of a year.

Defense isn't. You don't know it yet...but this team isn't built to peak with Giroux in his prime
