I do the a garlic parsley compound butter under the skin. Then onion celery thyme rosemary sage in the pan along with some chicken broth and white wine keeping an eye on the liquid to make sure there is some there for most of the cook process.

I usually just start drinking around mid morning and watch the wife cook.

Looking at the goal differential for the Flyers, they really aren't excelling at anything.

Even Strength: +2
Man Advantage: +4
Short Handed: -15

Clearly their special teams needs to get better, but so does their even strength. Just giving up way too many goals all around. Just as a quick comparison, here is Nashville.

Even Strength: +17
Man Advantage: +8
Short Handed: -3

Personally, I'm not a fan of any players that don't wear women's underwear regularly.

GO PENGUINS!

I don't think anyone expected them to be at the level Nashville is right now. As mediocre as though numbers look, they are 9-9-2. If the PK was just mediocre and hovering around 77-78% and the pp was at it's usual 20% or so, they'd likely be 11-7-2. That record would have them in 2nd place in the Metro.

The Flyers are basically a solid to good team at ES, with a struggling pp, suffering from a disaster for a PK and question marks in goal mainly due to the health status of the vets.

Kind of puts it in perspective how little fighting actually goes in the NHL any more.

Other than the pp slump and the fact that I thought the PK would struggle but not be utterly incompetent, yeah, pretty much.

Ain't that the truth, hell 7 fights was basically a home and home weekend for the 70s/80s Flyers, especially against the Bruins or Rags.

Seems a bit slow in here today...

Could moving Ghost to LW fix the Flyers?

I just used that as a comparison. From the numbers I am looking at a team needs to excel somewhere to win more or be consistent across the board. Either get better at even strength or fix special teams.

Right now the Flyers are at Ok, Bad and Suckarific...one of those needs to change quickly.

What if the Flyers fought more, clearly they would need better fighters on the team, but would fans complain the team needs more skill instead of goons?

LOL, it was a totally different league back then. Every team had at least 2 or three guys that could throw em in the 70s and 80s.
