I hate when a funk lasts 10 years.

unless it is a renegade of funk

All we hear are excuses. Like no other team has had injuries? Or lack of practice time? This is a bad mix of players. The coaches are horrible and lack the ability to change how they do things and it's not working out. This GM is either lying to us or is delusional.

FTFY

Said it was a very bad idea when it happened but everybody loves Coots. In a vacuum it is a risk worth taking, but unfortunately, the Flyers did not have the cap flexibility to do this as they already loaded up on injury riddled crap -- Hayes, Ellis, Atkinson, soon to be Giroux and Risto
- mr4tno

Really can’t put G and Risto in that bunch.

Risto can be gone by the end of the season if need be, and it frees up cap room (though it’s probably time to see what you can get for him as a rental). G is not injured, and he has not been extended yet.

FTFY

Hahaha thanks.

Clueless as usual. Why does everything with you have to be an argument? If you think Provy’s playing good then say so. I think he’s struggled and it’s on him….not on his partners which is what you are saying.

This is a message board and you messaged me and I responded. You also took a shot at me, telling me I’m clueless, while not having a clue as to hoe this message board works…

Carter Hart, but he’s not a skater.

Giroux has played pretty well, and Farabee and Braun have been ok. What’s killing this team, besides the ineptitude of the coaching staff and injuries, are two key players who are really struggling: Provorov & Couturier.
- BiggE

I don’t think anything about Farabee’s game this season outside of chipping in a goal here and there has been good this season. The small details, he’s really bad at.

I messaged you ? …but yes you are clueless.

He's probably worn down like all of us.

I started reading more, eating better, added kickboxing to my yoga and listen to a Matthew McConaughey book on CD in my Jeep when I drive. Most of I started this week. Nobody wants the Flyers to improve more than me but I’m not gonna let them collapse my world.

They need a wholesale correction on how this team does everything. It's clearly not working. The problem is they fired the last guy who tried to do that. We know they won't though. Scott and crew will keep going for it and try and try again.
- MJL

ya. that is problem.... lol. Thats the most ridiculous thing youve ever wrote, and its a long list

And...i knew you couldnt go a day without bringing it up, its only been 3 years lol

Anyone who comes on here daily and whines “why must you always start an argument” isn’t exactly in touch with how a message board works.

Way to make a positive out of a negative. I did the same thing with the pandemic. Started running. Eating healthy. I should add yoga. My flexibility sucks. No way I could go to a class tho…I know I’d embarrass my self farting loudly at some point.

A world of wonder, buddy.

screw your team and all but thats some solid self improvement going on there. super important to take care of yourself, especially these days. Rock on both of you.

Again, I'll ask a question. Is there a single skater that anyone thinks is having a really good year?
- MJL

You mean besides MacEwen? :-)

It's not going soft. A 4 hour practice is simply stupidity.
- MJL

I agree, at the pace these players play even in practice, its tough to go past even 45 minutes.

2nd time you've made up a trade with Giroux going to Ottawa. Why would Giroux want to go to Ottawa and why would Ottawa make that deal? They would laugh at the Flyers.
- MJL

He forgot to mention that the trade would be proposed to Ottawa after the two sides went out for a night of heavy drinking.

It is him. Provorov is bringing this other wise all star defense down with him.
- MJL

Well, now Provey has no excuse, he has the best defenseman in the league to play with .. its time to put up or else! :-)

Farabee's shoulder injury is a grade II AC sprain. Can be e a six-week injury but depending upon recovery, could be shorter. He’ll definitely miss a decent amount of games.

Hope he is fully healed before he comes back. We need him but no sense risking re injury.

You know it’s bad when Bill makes zero effort to rebuttal the statements being made day after day
- ClaudeFather

I'm just grateful he still spends some time in his day among his many professional obligations to provide a blog for us. That he comes in on occasion during his busy day to interact with us Bastards Buzztards is icing on the cake.

As was said by many of us over the years: Thanks, Bill, for making this still the best blog on the site and perhaps on the Netverse.

Agreed, Bill does a bang up job everyday to keep us informed.

with all the injuries time for frost to show he can play in the NHL

All these Provorov defenders are hilarious.... oh well I guess they need somebody to cheer for and it might as well be a 7 million dollar a year defenseman that is only good if he has the "right" partner

i mean if you put lidstrom with a traffic cone i'm sure he'll struggle

Nice waiver pickup by Montreal getting Kale Clague. A 23 year old defenseman with potential. I'm a bit surprised LA let him go for nothing.
