They need to make a move. It's unbelievable how terrible these guys are in their own zone.

Great save Mason
- Giroux_Is_God


At least it looks like Mason has found his game again. This game could easily be 5-0

Why they keep pairing Grossmann and Streit is beyond me

the B's forecheck is textbook perfect.

dump it to the corner. 1 man gets there and ties up the D, 2nd man puck support comes in and gets the puck (no other flyer close and constantly outnumbered on the wall), B with puck swoops around the net and looks for teammate waltzing uncovered down the slot, or alternatively gets it to the point for an uncontested shot. rinse and repeat

These soft floaters on goal from the Flyers are terrible. It's not like we win the ensuing faceoff anyways.....

If they're hell bent on keeping that pair together, at least send them out with forwards who can scoot.

Ditto this cement-foot line with Vinny and B Schenn -- put them out there w/ Coburn and Kimmo for christsake.

This board play in their own zone

If this play keeps up I think Homer will be making another locker room visit.

the Flyers have come full circle and are back to playing as poorly as they did in the first few games of the season.

can anyone touch the puck in our own end without coughing it up and giving it tright to them?
- dillpx183


it's incredible. every single play hits a stick, a leg, a skate whatever and fails to clear and goes right to an open bruin. over and over and over again. they're so (frank)ing slow. it's embarrassing.

My fear is that the move will either be overpaying for Campbell or ridiculously overpaying for Yandle or Byfuglien. I have zero confidence in Holmgren fixing the D, n fact it wouldn't bother me one bit if they made a move at GM following this game.

I'm just so damn frustrated right now. I can live with losing if it seems like they are building something here, but I just don't see it.

and there's another one. how many times can the puck continue to bounce off a defender to a bruin and end up in the net. off the post off the back of the leg and over the line. wow. just wow.

cant even try to take a penalty and still scores. tackle that mother (frank)er if you're going to do that and ensure he doesn't score
