Must be a record. 19-2?
- Dkos

If it is, they'll probably break it in the 2nd.

20 - 1 in shots. I'm calling it first.

The flyers make up for their lack of speed and skill with their lack of size and aggressiveness

weakest, slowest, softest, least-skilled Flyers team since ever.
- FlyerGuy

Pretty much and I've basically seen em all.

The earliest teams couldn't score but they could at least play competent D and the late 80s early 90s pre Lindros teams would at least play physical and when healthy, they weren't terrible. Hell even the 06-07 poopstorm looked more engaged than these bumholes. This is a (frank)ing trainwreck

yeah, I remember the pre-Lindros teams. They were bad, but at the end of the night at least the other team knew they were in a hockey game.

I think he's going to be good, but not sure if he's all star good.

I think they need another forward on the level of Jake and Giroux along with much better depth players. Even guys like Schenn and Simmonds struggle at even strength. Both are good on the PP, but that only gets you so far. Flyers have too many situational players.

- PhillySportsGuy

Jake has what, 5 ES goals in his last 45 games or so? He ain't exactly Guy (frank)ing Lafleur. Starting to think that Voracek is czech for overrated

I honestly think Konecny has star potential. Hopefully I'm right and you're wrong haha

But the ES talent of this team is awful. They don't have the speed to carry it in and just constantly dump the puck over and over. It's not just the defense.

To say the flyers are being heavily out shot is a (frank)ing understatement.

Well. He served our only chance on a silver platter to Schultz.

Oh settle down.

He's definitely hit a rough patch, but he averaged a point per game last season. Not alllllllllllll of them came on the PP.

on the Oilers TV broadcast, after the first period, they interviewed Wayne Gretzky!

He talked nothing but high praise, love even, for the Flyers and their organization through out his time playing in the NHL.

I wish I could have taped it for all of you to hear.

It was awesome stuff!

It is akin to saying JFK's last trip to Dallas didn't go so well

Teams just employ an aggressive trap against us it feels like. They know the Flyers don't have the speed to turnstile d men, so they just force chip ins over and over and over.

I hope I'm wrong too. Konecny's speed will certainly be a welcomed addition.

I agree about the ES issues. If you're going to lack speed, you need to be able to dominate along the boards. This team can't do that.
