Playing at Tom And Jerry's in Ridley. Just turned the game on to see it go 3-1.

I wish I didn't put it on. Has it been as bad as the score?

- MBFlyerfan

Yup, pretty much. They had a good first shift or two, then gave up a goal off of some hideous D zone play. Following that they pretty much fell apart and quickly gave up 2 more. Laughton got them on the board off of some good old fashioned hustle. He’s one of the few who still seems to be going hard every shift.

Every Flyer defenceman except Gudas is scared to go into the corner first and are continuously getting beat out of the corner. As noted just by Provorov.

They do have a few guys who aren't exactly killing themselves to make a play

Only Dave Hakstol would think that a good way to get Nolan Patrick going is to put Raffl on his line. How about 2 NHL calibre players on his line?

On the flip side AMac scored a goal!

- darkerens


Raffl has been one of the best players on the team. He has been strong on the puck and generating chances. He has been one of the few players not throwing the puck away in the offensive zone...

I feel like our defense has to be undersized compared to the rest of the league. Just seem to get overworked a ton.

Again, instead of shooting they pass and generate nothing...

3-4 times then held glove up over side of head in front of net. At first thought fixing helmet then realized he was seeing if he still had a head.

Oh you’re right! He has no goals and 4 assists in 16 games. Should I write him in for the all star team. Setting the bar a little low? or maybe that is one of the best players on this team.

The players who I think have gave a poop all season:

Laughton
Couturier
Lindblom
Gudas
Raffl
Elliott
Stolarz

The players who I think have lost focus recently but for the most part have been giving enough effort:

Giroux
Provorov
TK

Players whose effort I have questioned:

Everybody else

Every game looks like its the first game these guys have played together. Zero chemistry. Tic-tack-D'oh on a 3 on 1.
