Agreed. They're one of the top five scoring line in the NHL this year.

They're getting absolutely nothing from the other lines, which to me, further magnifies the coaching decisions being made putting plugs in over guys like Leier and Martell.

Martel when he was called up was in the lineup. Martel being sent down is the GM's decision and is the right decision in my opinion.

The top line is LITERALLY the only bright spot of this team. Just seems strange to complain about that when there is so much else wrong.
- PhillySportsGuy

Agreed. People are just frustrated. The top line and Provorov have pretty much been the only positives all season.

The fans have been lulled to sleep by fruitless powerplays.

Kind of genius really.

He's pretty poop at developing young guys if you ask me. But yeah let's attribute how crazy good ghost and provorov are to him being good with young players.

I saw on twitter TK hasnt seen a shift since the 19 minute mark. Is this true (haven’t watched at all)? Also read he had the most scoring chances so far today. Funny!

I think they're close and rightfully so.

I asked the question last summer. Are you excited for this season? Everyone had the same answer, yes. Their reasonings were to see individual young players play. In my opinion there is a difference between being excited for who you want to see and how good this team could be.

Making my point without sounding like I know everything. Do any of you see a difference in progression between when Hakstol started and now? Do we look better? I personally think we look the same.

Only the GM knows....who are us mere mortals to suggest we know better. I’m pretty no one else could lead this team straight into the pooptter quite like our esteemed management team.

No more excuses. Some significant change needs to be made here. Coaching change, trade, call up.

They had three days to prepare for this game and at least half the roster still looked like they had no sense of urgency. No excuse.

I will never take it that far....I’m just disappointed in the whole organization....fastly becoming a laughing stock.

I hear you and I hate saying it but sometimes you have to hit rock bottom before changes are made. Listen to the crowd and that should tell you how they feel. Totally disagree with Hextall's comments and that has fueled my fire. Fans here in Vancouver pay 300 bucks or more for a good seat and I would demand more as a Flyer fan. Just sayin this losing with grace does not suit me well.

Do we have a GM who hasn't the guts the really shake things up? Every response is to be patient, except we're not going anywhere in four seasons.

6th time being shutout. 10 straight losses. This franchise is a steaming pile of poop.

For all the Hextall minions who think this team is going to be a contender the next few years get a (frank)ing clue.
