Provy, TK, Patrick all already NHL players and playing in big roles

Hart and Frost still on the way

Plenty of picks coming up and most of the slug contracts are short term

Keep drafting well, let the kids learn and grow together

This season and series against the Pens is very important for the kids and i don't think anyone should be too upset. Sucks to see another year of Giroux's prime pass by but he carried this team all year.

Pens are just better, faster, and more skilled right now

I agree, but am overflowing with rage currently. I will see the more rational side of things 3 days after elimination.

I have a feeling Hextall is going to resign Flip and possibly Manning. The center depth isn't really there yet and they love mandog.

the team isnt there yet. fine. but show some effort please

Sorry that your fragile ego can't handle any criticism of coaching/management
- PhillySportsGuy

It doesn't have anything to do with me or my ego. That's an absurd and childish response. What it has to do with is your repeated singling out of the coach for the playoff record in his tenure. It's lazy and poor analysis. I have no problem with reasonable and well thought out criticism of coaching/management. You have not done so all year, including labeling the Flyers as an organization that is not forward thinking.

so is this season not considered a step forward from last?

There has to be a reason why Hagg has been stapled to the bench..

Def great for his growth.

all good homie

i totally get it

What happens first - Flyers find a franchise goaltender or the Cleveland Browns find a franchise Qb? I’m going with the latter.

Hart looks so promising but this franchise is goalie hell.

And Voracek fumbles the puck alone in front of the net........

Spineless performance all around.

That is why I said I hate philly sports right now and not when the Eagles won.

Cool story. Embiid agrees with you based on his post today.

I've never once seen a player frustrated at being close to returning but still not quite there. Especially during the playoffs.

Broke his orbital bone, surgery, and is 2 days s/p passing concussion protocol

2 days. He'll be back for game 4, if not definitely game 5.

Once we all get past the elimination this season is a slight step forward from last year.

This X7

Konecny back. He's definitely going to go after somebody.

They aren't forward thinking...

Yes it is. Just hard to digest during this disaster.

That is a lucid, intelligent, well thought-out post.

Yea, that doesn't have any place here on hockeybuzz.

- Doctor DOOM

Then he should be fired.

That would ruin it for me.

- PhillySportsGuy

Exactly my point! Absurd.

Step forward, but tougher decisions this summer as compared to last season to construct the roster. Tougher because there are more options. I hope Hexy chooses wisely.

Of course it is. But (frank) this team in my short sighted fit of range. (frank) these idiots for not showing up for 2 home games in the playoffs

I dont disagree with anything you say above..

Im just annoyed at this tonight..

WOuld be awesome to celebrate a Flyers win with the online crew..in place of that we lose both home games 9-1.

Yea, that doesn't have any place here on hockeybuzz.
- MJL

I have never agreed with you more my friend.

In two playoff games at home so far they have been outscored 9-1.
We can ignore losing 7-0 in the first game.

Let that 9-1 settle in.
Pathetic.
Im gonna watch Friday because Im a FLyers fan but this is embarrassing.

Not a single player showed up tonight or game 1 or game 3.
- opeth_pa

Nolan Patrick has been decent. That’s about it.

Patrick is the only one bringing it tonight
- Scoob

He’s going to be very good
TK and Provy too

- Doctor DOOM

I'd have no problem bringing Manning back as a 7th defenseman on a cheap deal.
