I'm Frost superfan #1. But you throw a rookie in there right now and the Trotz gang will eat him up. Farabee's more experienced and you can tell that even he still struggling to adjust to the higher pressure and pace.

Nate Thompson is a plug, but in this instance, the plug is the clear candidate to play.

- Tomahawk


Farabee has a few goals, so in this situation, I’ll trade the struggling for more offense.

Couturier should consider opting out. He's obviously not all in. His play in this playoffs has been nothing short of embarrassing.

We don’t have a Matt Martin or a Clutterbuck. We just have guys.

Yep. It’s just one game but I don’t like our chances unless av has some real adjustments to help us. No fight in us right now which is not good.

Frost wasn't ready for the NHL during the regular season. He hasn't played an NHL game all season and you really think he's going to come in and provide offense? Spare me the what do you have to lose comment.

Let's see what Andy Greene and Ross Johnston do against Pastrnak/Bergereon/Marchand. I'm sure they will eat their lunch.

The coach has made repeated adjustments. Numerous times he has gotten them straightened out in between periods. Only to have them revert back. He's swapped lines to try and find something that will work for more than one period. This is really simple. Until the Flyers best players play like it consistently game after game, this team is going no where.

After that, if the isles get a couple quick goals next game they’ll lock us down and this will be over in 4 or 5.

Absolutely brutal.

At least this team usually makes a good showing after having a bad game.

Forget about it and get ready for game 2.

I’m not sure what adjustments you can make when coots and g don’t show up.....a few games ...ok...but they have now played 10 -11 games and both have really not played well. If they miss their babies....fine go home. (frank).

Nobody's been a (frank)ing Flyer.

Looks like they're just contented to win the Round Robin Cup:

I add teeks to that list. Nice that you’re trying this last game but you’re not getting it done. Hayes coots g and teeks. They don’t show up, and this ones over.

this is why you care about how the team wins.
no chemistry. no skilled plays, cant turn it on like a switch.
