Never happen. Too much youth, and too high risk. Or pick the bullpoop reason of your choice.

I’m so sick of all my teams. Last place for all them is so enjoyable. If sports are supposed to be a distraction from the dregs of life, I fail to see how this is helping.

The thing is they aren't winning games using the line up the way it's structured now so why not try it. Hakstol always makes the safe move, take a risk man (frank)

B schenn trade has hurt the forward depth maybe more than hexy anticipated. Not killing the trade I still would have made it, but they are definetly worse off this year for it

Lehtera and filpulla are complete black holes. Everything dies on their stick. They are a day late and a dollar short to any loose puck or board battle.

Undersized and underskilled isn’t the way to be. We wait

Idc what anyone says you're absolutely right it hurt us this year. But I don't think in the long run it will. I think it'll be another win win like the la trades. Something something schenn 17 pp goals we're wrong schenn sucked.

The thing I will never get is why not just go with all the youth at once especially if the team is going to suck. At least get the young guys some experience. And who knows maybe it turns out like the Leafs last season.

Scared coaching. Always a good sign
- Tfaehner


I wouldn't call it scared coaching, just too much focus on matching up.

The Leafs didn't have any veterans in their lineup last season?

They definitely didn't spend a boat load on an older veteran forward in the off season or 2 veteran defenseman shortly into the season either

They did , all I am saying is putting any combo of Martel, Vecchione,Lindblom in for Weiss and Lehtera surely doesn't make the Flyers that much worse so why not give it a shot. The team is already losing, get the young guys experience its not like Lehtera and Weiss are in the future plans for this team.

I've never said anything different.

In my view right or wrong, if Hextall thought that a player like Martel was ready for the NHL and could help the Flyers, without it being detrimental to his future, he would be on the team.

- MJL


I don't think so. Even if he felt Martel could be in the NHL, he would need to come up with a reason why one of the guys on the team shouldn't be in the NHL.

Martels only real shot right now is if there was an injury (or injuries)

Shakespeare, buddy... I think you should stick to the images and .gifs, at least they're more or less understandable. Your text... not so much.

Can't a good enough reason be that Weiss and Lehtera have done nothing whatsoever all season 😂

Buffalo up 4-3 on the Pens. Plenty of time left though, sadly.

I don't like the way Hakstol coached that first period. They get a down a goal early and unless I'm mistaken there was 6 minutes gone in the period before the Giroux line saw a 5 on 5 shift. Too much focus on matchups.
- MJL


I have had an issue with a bunch of his decisions....but the bottom line is the team has regressed after the first 5 or so games when they seemed to skate a lot better. I'm really sick of blaming coaches but I can't say he's doing a great job when it's obvious he's not. Hopefully some things start to click, because this team has shown they can play a hell of a lot better then what they are bringing.....the inconsistency is maddening.
