Taylor Hall not making the trip to Philly.

At least we're running into teams missing big pieces. It would be nice to capitalize on these situations.

For you guys busting on Berube I'd just say he is in a bad spot. It's a puzzle where the pieces don't fit. He is stuck with those players.

Hextall tried hard to move VLC this summer with no takers. They have to play him as a scoring line center and on the PP for him to do anything.

I agree about not putting him on the #1 PP last night and when the game got towards the end Beroob put BSchenn back on the #1 unit. It took too long but he sees it. I think it was VLC's awful cross blue line, weak pass that resulted in a short hand breakaway that was the straw that broke the camel's back.

The 2nd and 3rd lines are not doing a good job holding onto the puck long enough to set up a shot and get players in front of the net. There is a glaring lack of puck skill on the team. When they play and skate well like the first period against LA they can overcome this, but it's not realistic to expect that elevated play from this group every game.

2nd line was looking good and then he broke it all up for vinny

i get it he has a weird lineup to work with but i hate almost all of his choices

To be fair they beat us 2-1. It wasn't a 6-0 blowout with AHLers scoring left and right.

The Panthers' D and the Flyers themselves beat the Flyers.

yeah maybe. he did just go to the locker room.

still though. i dont think foles is a bad quarterback by any means. but his interception ratio last year was absurd, and had pretty much no chance of being maintained.

a lot of times foles seems to struggle with stepping into his throws, which results in some underthrows.

I cant find much of anything positive to say about our forwards last night. Guys are way too fast to dump and chase at the first sign of a D man.

I really liked Berube last year.

He's gone full Jekyll and Hyde on me this year. Even his post game last night night was maddening. Very Torts like.

Basically passed all blame onto the players.

Had a chance to commend Mason when asked about the game he had. His answer. "Fine." Then paused and looked at the reporters like he was wondering why they would even ask that. Pretty crappy way to recognize a guy who came back strong after a bad start and extended benching.
