Not like TK was doing anything the last 4 games. He’s been pretty pedestrian aside from a nice assist against Tampa.

I don’t expect to lie down from here on out but no in game adjustments at all??

That is an upgrade?

No, it's a crash test dummy, replacing their leading scorer.

You are absolutely right. It’s not a case of good process, yet poor results. The process is pathetic. We should have seen adjustments.

Welp, all we can do is take this on the chin and hope it wakes them back up. Turns out their poop doesn’t smell like roses.

Like I said this morning, the Ghost/Braun defense pairing gives me the willies every time they're on the ice. Eh what?

Teams leading scorer breaking his foot blocking a shot down 5-0 would be the most typical Flyers thing ever.

No giddy-up in their get-go today. A total lack of alacrity and truculence in becoming a (frank)ing Flyer!" All of them.

Flyers play like they plan to be golfing next weekend.

Is that it?!!!

Far from the only problem today, obviously. But Ghost shouldn't see the ice again this series.

A bad loss for sure. I expect changes for Sunday. Raffle maybe Frost gets a chance. I’d expect to see Haag.
The energy level for the flyers was not where it needs to be to compete.
They weren’t going 16-0 so let’s reserve the sky is falling rhetoric until late Sunday night if they lose.

Looked like a Hakstol game.

Thankfully it’s one game early in the series. We’ll see how they come back. Hope TK is ok.

Doesn’t shock me. I expected a loss today just not this bad. Montreal is motivated and we haven’t had any adversity as of yet. I predicted a 6 game series but maybe I picked ThE wrong team as the winner.

They need to wake up and I hope av has some buttons to push or it’ll be a short series

Well, they were consistent...no effort, no pushback, no fight and no heart from start to finish. Disappointing game to say the least.

Are we allowed to talk about this game? What adjustments should have been made and weren’t? The fact that one forward should be demoted, when in reality the offense needs work? Let me help you...

A top ten center in this league in Sean Couturier has 2 assists in 5 games and those two assists came in one game. Our Captain has one assists and in 5 games and in the first period of this game, he was passing to Vacant areas of the ice, with nobody to accept his passes.

Now let’s get (frank)in real get and hold our team to a high expectation.

Broke his foot blocking a shot down 5-0. Smart heady play.
