See, to me? That's the very definition of not being talented enough.

i hear ya man. they're not nearly as "recklessly aggressive" as they've been in the past, and now they can't score. might just be that the way they choose to play only determines how they fall short, not whether they do

hopefully it's just adjustment issues, but consider me officially skeptical

If a guy is a talented plumber, and you ask him to do electrical work and he sucks, it doesn't mean he's not a good plumber.

That's a bit extreme, but they're set up to fail, and honestly, I think that they've tuned Laviolette out. There's no fire, no nothing. They're getting killed along the walls, outworked and outplayed by huge margins.

It's going to be real interesting and soon if there's not movement in the right direction.

Look flat offensively. Lack of confidence. Still think this team will come around on offense.

Great analogy.

Murray should be behind the bench on Tuesday.

Have to agree, very disheartening putting it mildly.
What a trainwreck!
There is talent but no cohesiveness, I predict if they lose at home Tuesday night Lavy is canned. The only good that came out of this game was Mason despite the softie was good and Voracek wound it up like he can a couple of times, Couturier had a better game too but team effort was not there.

Glad he was sent back, I'd rather let me work on his game & get ice time in all areas than 4th line or press box here.

He got canned from Carolina for lack of adjustment:

"It's about changing to get the chemistry back on our team, to get the confidence back on our team and make what I would say minor adjustments in a system that really worked in the Stanley Cup year. But teams have adjusted to it, and our team hasn't adjusted over the last couple of years." - Jim Rutherford

Where they scored more goals in one game than the Flyers have all season.

It's not likely his presence would be that big of a difference.

The scary thing is the Flyers are getting dominated by teams that aren't even good.

The Leafs, Habs, and Canes are middle to bottom of the Conference teams.

As the Bombers once said.

"We are the best, worst team in the league"

This team needs some Swaggerville.

This team is a train wreck. Wow the mistakes they make are unbelievable. Three games in and they look worse each game.

This sucks so far.

And it will. The coach will probably be gone in the next 10 days. I will find it amusing when the next coach comes in and the results don't change much. Then everyone will be calling for the GM to be fired.

I think the goaltending has been pretty good. Hard to win games when you can't create any quality scoring chances.

I'm not ready to hit the panic button already. Lets see where they are at the end of the month.
