most of this team gets out muscled for the puck.

I remember when Craig Ramsey was fired, and Bob Clarke said something along the lines of "we're just too easy to play against" as the reason for the firing.

this team is WAY too easy to play against.

Is it just me, or is it getting truculent in here...

EK will write an article tomorrow about the locker room issues in the flyers thread after the flyers loss to the hawks

really, he should do nothing. just let them bottom out and hope for a top pick while the kids are developing in juniors and the ahl.

Maybe that ends up being the plan.. just let it end up like 2006/07...

1st goal fluke but MDZ gets out muscled for the puck leading to the goal.

2nd goal Bad/Phantom penalty by Raffl. I didn't see it but if he did it, it was bad Penalty to take.

3rd goal poor Team D leads to a 3 on 2 that was played right by the D IMO

- xShoot4WarAmpsx


you're forgetting the interference against mason on goal 1 and the referee skate deflection off the corner pass that created the rush for goal 3.

i know this team sucks, but every single one of these bounces in chicago's favor is infuriating.

I hope he does, because panic trading will only forestall the inevitable.

If there is ever a year to suck bad enough to get one of the top three picks, this is it.


Eichel, Mcdavid or Hanifan... any one of them would look great in a Flyers uniform, in my idiot opinion.

It wouldn't be if we didn't have to hear about Scott (frank)ing Hartnell all night -- correct me if,i'm wrong, but wasn't he on the ice for that 7-2 beatdown in Chitown last year? Where was his mystical powers to play defense then?

This team is like brayden schenn... They don't do anything very well.

The team speed of the hawks is so obvious against the flyers.... Sadly we have a loooong way to go before we are a contender again.

and somehow the flyers will end up with pick #4 even if it's not possible according to the new draft rules.

Not sure if you guys believe in measuring stick games, but here is a clear case of how far off this team is from being contenders.

Everything I want to see in the Flyers, Chicago has.

guess I'll go get a couple of slices of pizza.

my waistline doesn't need it, but it somehow seems to inspire the Flyers this year to score a couple of goals.

the only difference here is that hextall isn't going to turn over the team in 5 minutes after the season's over like holmgren did. they're going to suck for awhile. and it makes me (frank)ing sick.

I mean, all the bleating about Zac Rinaldo, Jason Akeson, etc. It's like looking at someone who survived a car wreck and wondering when they were gonna pop that zit on there nose.

Fact is, compared to the top teams, the Flyers are not that talented, and it's showing up in a big, bad way right now. They are talented enough to get by in the East, maybe, but I don't think they'd make the playoffs out West.

The Hawks make this team look like they are skating in mud.

The one neat thing I saw was BSchenn, Couturier, and Simmonds on a line. Or did I imagine that?

Flyers draft 1st overall, but but the ball picked by Bettman is dropped, and when the ball is found, the logo on it is obscured, so Flyers actually end up picking 2nd.

Flyers end up drafting QVR 2nd overall, who is later traded for Duke Schenn, D man from Toronto who turns out to be a bust.
