Nope. After tomorrow and Thursday's losses, can we beat Buffalo to end our second 10 game losing streak this year?

If you want to know why this team loses so much that second period is a perfect example for you. How many grade A looks does a team need to have to score a goal? Breakaways by Bee and Atkinson, two point blank empty nets for Laughton and he can't one time the puck to the top shelf that is it right there for him. This team just does not have the skills necessary to win a game because you can't win if you can't score!

how does laughton miss that
- 2Real

because he is a low skill hack that belongs on the 4th line!

They've had some decent chances, but as usual the opposition goaltender is just better than ours. No worries though...that personnel savant Fletcher is going to save us this summer. Is it just me or do you see any improvement in Frosts game...I just see nothing.

Frost plays on a line that never has the puck. It's absurd that they bury this kid on the 4th line and expect him to do anything. He needs to play with good offensive players.

Combination of poor scheme and just not enough skill. I'm not sure who is coaching the special teams, but based on results maybe they ned to review their choices.
- DANCER

it's all due to lack of skill, not a coaching problem! And it all starts with not winning your PP faceoffs!

Sounds like he might have had 2 goals if he was playing on that other line and not Laughton. Thanks Mike and Chuck.

Laughton did not have any open net looks at the net in this game. Sorokin made a great save on the one attempt. The other chance, the pass was too slow across.

He is primarily an energy guy with some upside. CF and MY have not figured it out.

Laughton got off a good shot. Sorokin made the save.
- MJL

You are delusional, he should have one timed it! He gave Sorokin time to come across because he corralled the puck first!

I don't know what game you are watching, I really don't. Frost is also playing on the dreaded 2nd PP unit and he does Nothing! Face it, he is another Hextall dud!

Maybe we should talk about RR screening Jones on both Islanders goals?

It's hit first game back and he's played with Yandle but Ristolainen has been the worst defenseman on the ice.

Young players need to earn their place as they move up in lines. He really isn't showing enough. I'm pretty sure a coach like Joey Mullin would improve their weak PP

I feel like he held on to it as well, but it was a hell of a save either way.

That's archaic thinking. You need to put a young player in a position to succeed. He is an offensive skilled player. He needs to play with other offensive players. The Flyers specialize in ruining young players.
