No, it's not, but I don't think Elliot has helped matters.
- johndewar

I agree. First two are on him imo. We need someone who helps matters all the time as you say. I'm interested in seeing how pickard plays on the second. Backup for hart? I'm certainly ready to move on from neuvy and Elliott.

23 SJ shots that period!! Juuuust bad

They deserve every goddamned boo they got there.

wow....great period

Fans letting them have it. Can't say I have a problem with that.

Looking angry and shouting "Lets GOOO!" always does the trick.
- Tomahawk

I’m sure he’s going to give the team some hard stares between periods.

Gudas dead can't wait for 6 weeks of Folin
- bulet13

How about six weeks of Myers?

Deserved Booooooooooooo

Booed one period in for the home opener.

Can’t say they didn’t earn it.

40left. 2 a period and tie it up. Hey Elliot the hell out.

Gudas injured, so maybe we can get Folin back in to shore up our coverage in front of our net.
- Buzzo

Meanwhile Myers is in the a.

true, and the amazing thing is that this came could legit be 9-0 if he didn't make some pretty spectacular saves....

- MBFlyerfan

Some desperation saves. Kind of like Quick out west. Flops around and forced to make spectacular stops.

(frank) Elliot.

What a franchise!!!!!

Contemplating joining team negative after that period

The team looks....dare I say...like they are trying to learn how to play together. Embarrassing, especially the top 5 guys (Giroux-Coots-Voracek-Ghost-Provoy).

Laughton has the most accurate shot I have ever seen, he can hit a goalie in the crest 10 out of 10 times.

What? Ghost looked great to me.

Agreed, but Elliott's play has been straight garbage.
- ggunky

Here's what I'll say. The first two goals were on him. Didn't get down in the butterfly quick enough and then a horrible rebound.

Those were momentum saves he didn't make and then the team is on its heels. The last two goals are due to garbage play in their end.

Point is. We need a goalie that can consistently make momentum saves.

He makes one of those, and we get one. It's a different game.

Pathetic from top to bottom.

Hakstol did nothing to Rally his team. No time out. No pulling Elliott. Just continued like four goals never happened in one period. Honestly, go back to university level hockey!

Smart of the Flyers to lower expectations right off the bat

Fans letting them have it. Can't say I have a problem with that.

Good. (frank) that. I'm just sad that people paid for this crap

I know I was thinking the same thing, tons of chances and waste them shooting right in the chest hoping maybe this one will magically go in.

I maybe wrong, but I don't think that Gudas was the problem. I think that all other Dmen are in the minus. But at least we may see Myers.

Nahh. It’s one game.

They started out pretty well but Elliot put them in a hole and then the bleeding continued. A momentum save or two earlier in that period and it might be a different game.

They’ve got average goaltending at best, nights like this happen.

I have been Leary of Hak since last year vs Nashville when he challenged an offside late on a tying goal. Lost it. Got a pp against we lose 1 pt. stupid

What? Ghost looked great to me.
- feelingkettle

You mean those keep ins at the power play, yeah I saw them and unfortunately the rest of the period. Was there good things done too, of course. Just a terrible period for the top line and pairing and hope I never see them play like that ever again.
