No need to fix what's working so well.

It's fine.

It's all fine.

The players need to play better. Work harder.

More snot and balls.

Also have to say, regarding the Berube news.

TN is very excited about the hire. It's great news for the Flyers and the rest of the league.

First thing Berube did was to move Brayden Schenn over to wing.

You then asked whether I think Stamkos is one of the most talented players in the league. Nice try.

Let's move back to what is important. Why was Stamkos so wide open?

Because he's one of the most talented players in the league?

I was going to go with "They had an extra skater" but that seemed too obvious.

Transmission pending.

Maybe a combination of the 2...

I got a better replay to watch and it looks to me that Laughton went too high for a check and took himself way out of position. Created a lane for Stamkos to go roaring through.

That's my final answer

Stamkos read the play, found the open area... a lot like Giroux does... and being one of the best players in the league, made it count...

You dismissed my extra guy theory that quick huh?

Ok with all this talk about how its all the players fault, who's job is it to hold the players accountable? The coach.

In other words, if the players arent performing its either the coach's fault for not holding them accountable, the GM's fault for not getting players that can do the job, or the GM's fault for not holding the coach accountable for holding the players accountable. So which one is it? Who is to blame?

Stop feeding the only moron that thinks the coach is not the problem but he will remind us he's not 'against' moving on from him. Lappy needs to be fired immediately and if you think different you are just insane.

It's the correct answer. Now let's move onto what happened in the 5 on 3 goal.

With the inconsistency, coaching line up decisions and goalie issues, would not surprise me to see them go 0-3 on these next games. Sad but realistic.

It's November 20th. The Flyers improved by 10 points last season and finished 3rd in the Metro.
- MJL

The team Hexy inherited finished 3rd had 2 fewer points and went out in the first round. You can site improvements on the farm and in the salary cap. But the on ice product, points in the regular season, and advancement in the playoffs have not improved at all under Hextal. That’s the fact.

So inconsistent they could win all 3 too and not have it a surprise.

If they do, stay the course.

I think we take all 3. We have played well against Toronto in the past couple years. I want that Rangers game to be 6 or 7 to nothing. Embarrass them.

Ironically, those same issues could result in going 3-0 lol

Ok I get that this is a discussion site. But its posts like this that drag it down in to the mud. He has NEVER ONCE said the coach is not the problem. What he has said, and I agree, is that the execution of the players is the main problem. And he has also said that he is not against firing Lappy. What he did say is that whoever comes in can only do so much as long as the players continue to do stupid things on the ice.

That is on the players.

Now, as has been said, you cant fix all the players, and the coach HAS to share in the blame, and he is the one who needs to go.

But I also agree with MJL in that I doubt a new coach makes much difference as long as players forget to keep sticks in the lanes and lose site of players sneaking in from the back door while while their sticks are on the opposite side of where they are supposed to be. Or why a player drifts too far away from his area of the ice while he is puck watching, or failing to clear the puck when he has time and it is on his stick.

Heartbreaker on Sunday. You need to find a way to put up more than field goals in a semi final. Thought the D played well.

As i stated in my post, please try to read the whole thing next time, he reminds us he's not against moving away from the coach. When would be the correct time to fire this guy? See if he can have us ranked dead last the entire season? Or how about all the way through 2020? And save me the BS, MJL just spews sh!t to all the other posters.
