Well I don’t care because we saw 2 or 3 soft goals today, including the empty net.

How is that any different from most of the games we’ve seen this season?

Wade Allison for Captain!

There is a new ginger in town, boys!

I can't believe how impressive this kid has looked in these couple of games

I hope this horrible locker room culture doesn't ruin him

I don’t share your confidence
- Dkos


Me neither, this team doesn’t play with enough jump throughout the lineup, and has far too many mental lapses playing defense (d-men and forwards).

Out of Laczynski, Lyon, Twarynski, Bunnaman. Allison is the only one who looks like he belongs.

I didn't either. I haven't watched but I update the score on my phone and I saw that he scored! Good for the kid! I hope he injects some life into this piss poor team

JVR and Hayes are good complementary players on a good team. They're not going to lead you to a cup without at least a great player or two on their side. Flyers don't have anyone on that level. The fault for this team lies with management.

Washington controlled play for most of the game. They out shot the Flyers by a ton. The Flyers pp the was pitiful. I just don’t see it.

Disagree with Laczynski, small sample size but I think he is a bottom six player in this league. Allison has top six potential.

I feel like I just watched the 200th replay of the same game I have watched since Forsberg left. Flyers playing a strong team. They had their moments but flattered only to deceive. Ultimately, the gap in talent showed, and deservedly they lost.

There is something no pleasant going on between Alain Vigneault and Carter Hart, and I'm worried that if this thing isn't patched up soon we can see another promising goalie bite the dust!

Dateline should do a special on the disappearance of Kevin Hayes. His family needs closure.

The thing about the Hayes pass to Allison (for the easiest goal the kid has ever scored in his life) is that he is always trying that pretty pass,pp or not. It worked that once, but 90% of the time it doesn't.

At least they aren’t handing 5 year deals out to bottom six players.

3 ways to get talent: Draft, trade, or sign.

We're not bad enough to draft elite talent; We would pay a premium to sign elite free agents...

Which is why we have to trade for any available elite players.

Who ever that may be. Get creative, Fletcher

Good luck Peter in the playoffs. Many diehard flyers will be rooting for yA. Your Crapitools look way better than last season, when that bald mathteacher Raredome coached. Agressive LAVY style hockey with skill physic and muscle. Flyers to pink all over.

As i said, Fletcher put this nightmare together. Cant really blame the players, they are who they are...not one of the young guys took a real step up...including Farabee. Love the answer Allison just gave to the very stupid question about excitement over his first goal...deadpan look "yeah, very excited".

Farabee did take a step up. 2 steps at first. Now he is taking a step down. But he will end up even if he doesn't score again.

If HaZe continue to blow. That deal will look worse and worse. Pitlick and a great regular season from Niskanen, may be his best work.

I dunno what that means but I have read him for decades from the SI days and he makes sense to me. Especially what he wrote about Wentz.
