I wore my Flyers jersey in Boston and I really thought my GF and I were going to get killed.. Many people yell at me in Montreal as well, but Boston was the worst.

BOston was fine for leafs , they hate the habs, you guys and sabres. Even though the leafs and bruins have a rivalry, I respect the way they play. It was a leafs bruins game in boston and I must have seen 4 habs jerseys with big X's over the logo. Awesome

true. just thought it was an odd thing. not often you are going to find a five game combined stretch in which those two dont show up on the stat sheet.

it is still early though. a lot can change. although there are some points to be worried about, i wouldve never thought it would be the offense for you guys. i totally disagree when people say the forward talent is not there on this team.

AS " hard" as the players are skating, they knew coming into the season Lavvy had a foot out the door or one foot in the grave depending how you want to phrase it. I think they know he cant coach them past teams with good D systems now. I think the players also have a sense the GM is on the short leash too

With this much talent something else is wrong.

If you remember or ever read civil war history, remember how at the battle of Fredericksburg the Union generals killed thousands of their own troops needlessly assaulting impregnable confederate positions on the high ground ? Players know when they are set up to lose or when the leadership is going to change

I also think that Giroux is nowhere near healed in his hands and Jake V is nowhere near 100% as well and thats having an affect. Vinny should be playing first line mins till G heals up. Still when all is said and done even other teams you mght think suck are scoring more than 1 fracking goal a game.

Why wait 10 games, are they going to mysteriously get better and find the open portion of the other teams nets ?
2 seasons out of the playoffs and Snider and Comcast are going to make purges like Stalin did, though Snider has himself to blame for Bryz

Don't be.

It sucks to be part of a fanbase that gets judged on it's worst members.

But, in my experience, fans that come in from out of town down in the lower bowl and behave themselves NEVER get messed with.

Only time I've ever seen trouble is when it was...well.....requested.

- johndewar


No I think that's part of the appeal. Everyone I know wants to go to philly. And not really get beat up or anything but definitely given a rough ride, and get heckled. That's the appeal of philly. Im not obnoxious at all when I go (I guess it's because I can't really talk sh*t, im a leafs fan lol) and I think that's a big part of it (how the home fans will treat you). I just like to talk hockey with them. You are definitely right with the 'requested' part. NOthing worse than obnoxious out of town dbags

Its definitely odd, but both guys have to much talent to not turn it around. I honestly haven't watched the pens play to comment on why Malkin hasn't recorded a point, bit I think g might still he recovering from his injuries.

Regardless, I still think they'll both be ppg players by the end of the year.

If the Flyers can't score against Florida on Tuesday, who just let in 7 goals in one game, it's going to get ugly.

so do i. malkin hasnt looked bad. been close but his linemates just havent cashed in yet.

i do think that a season in which both of them are ppg players is actually a disappointment for them though.

Lets everyone rate this team and see how close everyone is...

Goalies - B+ , definately not the problem
Defense - D , pretty obvious
Forwards - C- , being generous probably, but some are working hard, most are not.
Coaching - D , seems were outcoached consistently , and we seem to have no in game adjustments.
Special Teams - D , way to many penalties and our PP seems to lack that creativity.

Which is why some fans are freaking out a little bit. I still think the flyers could use another binaries sniper, but right now it is what it is and they all need to work a little harder. Make your own luck.

What's a binaries sniper? As in he will score 1 0 1 0 1 1 1 1 0 1 in a 10 game stretch?

Sorry.. hehehe

This is where I am. I don't ever cheer against them hoping they will suck and a guy gets fired, but I kind of think they have given up on him.

18 SOG's, 3 in the 3rd period down by one...




I miss the days where this team would win 6-4, hell i'd rather lose 5-4 then what's being going on in these 3 games.

Pfft.. you guys are winning... we are horrible. If Giroux has 0 points and we are 3-0 no one cares.

Goalies- agreed B+
Defense- C. I don't think the defense has been that bad, breakdowns are bound to happen. But ibthink the forwards still need to be more responsible.
Forwards- D. Lack of effort. Too many instances of someone taking a weak shot on net, and there's o secondary support for rebounds. Plus, they've missed the net a poop ton of times.
Coaching- F. Lack of inspiration, lack of adjustments. Piss poor in every area.
Special teams- B- I suppose. Since well, 2/3rds of our goals have come on the pp, something's working. I think the pp is more creative than last year, where all we did was try to get it to g on the half boards so he could shoot. The entry could definitely use some work, as I'm tired of watching one guy try to move the puck in as 4 others stand waiting on the blueline. And pk has been decent so far.

I am in the same group. I just dont think his message is getting through anymore and he is lacking innovation. I think there just needs to be a change with coaching and the front office.
