Outscored 17-6 so far this series. Take away game 2 and it’s 16-1.

Let that sink in and tell me again that this team doesn’t need some major changes

- BiggE


they do. bottom 6, bottom 4, goaltending, coach. it's a lot they need to turnover.

but but but....we need that 23-3 pair because RH shot. because 8-3 looked bad for the only game they played together.

As much as you want to say it's manning, it's lehtara, it's read.....how about simmonds, voracek, Elliott, gostisbehere show up. Giroux had been quiet on a mist win night. Very disappointing effort. If missing couturier makes this team look this bad then he should be hands down the some winner for his defensive game. They look lost in their own zone. Actually everywhere.

Even with Coots they got destroyed in 2 out of 3 games.

I hope anyone at this game walks out right now..

I hope Hexy and his patience are nice and (frank)ing calm...

5 goals now in 3 2/3 games..
Lets make sure we complain about goaltending though..

I sure am glad Hextalls 5 year plan is on track....personally I like Vegas’s 1 year plan...but who am I to argue.

This has been totally embarrassing.It would of been better if they missed.The only thing these kids are learning is how bad the team they play on is.
- flyeredup85


They miss, they move up, what, two spots in the draft?

Better for Provorov, Patrick and Sanheim, Lindblom too, to see what the deal is

I wonder if a player will be ballsy enough to throw Hakstol under the bus like barber was back in 02

I think what I fear most of is next year knowing how Hakstol and Hextall have been working the team and line ups is not a lot will change. I can entirely see most the same players back outside of Read and Filp. If Gudas/Manning/Amac are all under contract next year I foresee them being on this team next year and playing regularly. I see Lehtera and raffl being a regular next year. This organization likes to remain consistent with veteran players over rookies.

I can deal with the losing. I didn't expect them to win this series.

It's the lack of effort that is infuriating. And the blame for that goes up and down the bench and every coach. This is the (frank)ing playoffs you (frank)s. Unbelievable.

My guess is Hextall would trade the player the same day.

while i'm not mad at the moment, i have severe mental/emotional damage from this franchise. that's not an exaggeration.
- hammarby31

This team just depresses the hell out of me. From 72-89 they were on of the model franchises in the NHL. Since 1989? 27 seasons, 16, soon to be 17 either one in done or failed to qualify.

That’s some grade A mediocrity right there.

This is where Snider will be missed the most. He’d say (frank) it, we will pay them to play in the ahl

Gonna have to make some serious decisions his offseason. Only gonna get to spend that Read/Flip money once

Can free up more by moving Simmonds, but at some point, you gotta pay the replacements and they need to be good, too

- AllInForFlyers


I dont know where they go, but they have to figure out the PK. Filp and Lehtera are just too slow at center. I think they have to decide let s go young and fast knowing there will be growing pains as opposed to slow and safe. No reason NAK shouldn't be in the bottom 6 after his season with the Phantoms.

Like who?

Couts is a Selke finalist off a career year, Giroux second in scoring and possible Hart finalist off a career year, Ghost and Provorov looked like Norris possibilities in the future

What, is Dale Weise gonna say he was misused?

Flyers offensive playbook...


Pass to point
Shoot from point
Shrug and skate out of zone

- opeth_pa


You would think eventually a player or coach would realize it's not working change it up...nope keep doing the same over and over.

Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results - Insanity
