I just saw a picture on facebook of a 10 year old kid fighting cancer, who is telling his Mom how scared he is, and that he doesn't think he'll make it to 11. I can't handle stuff like that. So I'm just going to enjoy the hell out of the 3rd period regardless of the results. Sorry for the downer, but it hit me hard.

I finally took the time to watch season 2 of The Knick. Love that show. Never wanted to be a coke addict so badly

So MJL you are saying that when your head coach cannot get any wins you just go with it and get used to it. I will bet you off the record that many of the players have serious issues with the coach. No way to prove this but when you lose on a regular basis and Giroux and Voracek have like three goals total in the last 20 games something is seriously wrong. This falls on the GM or the coach and usually the coach gets it first. Is Ed was still here I put money that head would have rolled by now. Flyers hockey was Flyers hockey because of Ed and will never be the same.

Contradictions galore. Maybe if Giroux and Voracek would score more, or any of the other players would, the coach would look better. I think you're wrong, if Snider was here, Hakstol would be also. You bet on the record publicly. That is a losing bet. I'm not saying Hakstol is without blame, but you're taking it too far. Lots of roster issues on this team, and it's best players haven't played well enough.

That's one I figured I'd binge so I'm letting it get ahead of me. I'll probably start it up before season 3

You really should check out Legion, peeps. Only 3 episodes in tonight. It's by the creator of Fargo, and it's a very unique show.
- Mononoke

I'll hit on demand and start from the beginning. Just got done season one of Goliath on Amazon. Great show, stars Billy Bob Thornton and William Hurt.

No more ridiculous than your comments, the better Gost plays the better chance of getting a lw to play on the first line. Utilize your assets and get in the game.
- joegreif17


Flyers need the defensive assets. Gostisbehere has special skills. Flyers have gone a long time with weakness on defense. Now is not the time to trade Gostisbehere.

Good point, I agree Hockey is just a game compared to people fighting for their lives. On that note, good night guys and lets have a strong third and win this game.

Also despite all my fire the coach my first choice would be to turn this ship around and get her done with all the same people but ??? It has to happen

One reason we can not score is because we have four legit top six players at the moment, one reason nobody scores. Gost is attractive but really he is a liability on defence and Provorov will easily take over his spot without missing a beat.
Now go watch the game , you promised, lol

Gostisbehere has struggled for large.parts.of the season but it is not a reason to trade him. Provorov does not have the offensive skills that Gostisbehere has.

They're so impatient with the PP units. Don't bother pretend switching them in the first place, and practicing with them, if you're just going to switch back the second you really need a goal.

Provorov is a rookie that has excelled as a 19 year old for half a season, in the next couple years he is the man for the #1 pp unit. Nothing against Gost as he does remind me of E. Karlsson at times however a top six scoring lw would be worth the gamble. Either way the future does not really look that good unless 93 and 28 can get it going or are they done???

Shot on goal are totally misleading when it come to the Flyers, they generally outshoot the opposition but not a lot of quality shots and no traffic in front and also a bunch of hard working forwards with no finishing skills less Simmonds and Schenn

Not sure I agree with that last statement....but to me you don't move Ghost, unless it lands a guy like Duschene.

It'll even out the next few weeks, go on a little run, only to fall short of the playoffs the last game of the season.
