This is what is now missing.... the effort was there for 40 minutes....now they've given up.

No pride

- landros 2


That is most troublesome to me..
Yes they have terrible team d.
Yes they have two average at best goalies.
Yes the offense is not there..

Everyone can show some pride right now and earn the jersey

Blame the team D all you want but Mason never makes a crucial save when the team needs it literally ever. What is that like 5 goals on 20 or so shots. I'm done with Mason constantly being given chance after chance to be the number 1 , time to give Neuvirth a string of games. I mean when the Caps needed saves from Grubauer (idk how to spell it ) they got it. When Philly needs a big save from Mason he just folds.

but but but mason is my favorite team's goalie he can't be bad!

1 goal is on Mason but the defense has been horrible. Not Mason's fault this game is 5-0.

Perfect timing to hire a new coach. Give the new guy a week to acclimate.

This team needs a serious shake up before it hits the ice again. What a mess.

Hextall should call his agent right now and offer 1 year for 3M
- MJL

What Hextall should do is figure out how he is going to change the culture of this team.
People must go.

A break is not what they need. Maybe a day or two off but then they should be drilling.

Is it time to trade a dman or two and let Morin come up and get some experience? Even if they squeak into the playoffs they look to be a one and done team at best.

Hopefully some of these guys are gone by next year.

Can't wait to see Morin, Lindblom and Stolarz more next year(hopefully). Surely they can meet this standard of play just fine.

Must not be many flyers fans at the Verizon center. I'd expect something thrown on the ice by now

You claimed he had been doing this for two seasons also. He had a nice season last year before injury. That's all. Michael Del Zotto does not make or break this team. He's not a top pair player or a number one defenseman on an ideal contending team.

In fact Michael Del Zotto should be on the list of players to be sat next to Brandon Manning, Shayne Gostisbehere, Andrew MacDonald and Mark Streit. We have two players who have been steady in Radko Gudas and Ivan Provorov.

Jake, Simmonds and Provy are the only untouchables on this team at this point..

Not gonna lie....it kills me to watch this version of what they've become. Simmonds can't do it all himself.
