The Flyers are going to struggle to score goals. I don't expect them to have a good PP. I think they can improve somewhat defensively but lacking a strong offensive attack and puck possession will cause them to defend too much.

Agreed, plain and simple it’s going to be an uphill battle. If they were to somehow even sniff playoffs, it would take a Vezina season from Hart.

For all these people claiming this team is underrated, please look at the league and tell
Me what teams we are going to pass in the standings.

Why are you so angry? Why do we bother having conversations on these boards if you’ve figured everything out for us already and why aren’t we allowed an opinion? You have to play the games and there are surprise teams every year.

Ugh

becuase, again, for the millionth time and let it seep into your pudding brain, we dont know exactly what the nature of his back injury was.

Oh you’re a genius!!
No we don’t know what the surgery was.
But we will see who has the pudding brain you moron!
You stay on the fight all will be great for Coots with back surgery, age and a great supporting cast….
50 points will be about where he is…
We will see though won’t we phuckhead!!

Fine, I'll take the bait, Need a break from cooking anyway. Philly will be better than Chicago, NYI, NJD, ARIZONA, Winnipeg and Montreal.

I go into this season with absolutely no idea how much better we can be. I have absolutely no idea how good coot’s back will hold up?, if Ellis will even play?, if Hart can take another step?, if the D can get contribution from the youngsters, if the forward corps can get a break out season from Frost or Tippet? Can they get lucky and have a kid like Laz or Cates surprise everyone? Also they go into a season with a whole new coaching staff….you might be right they may be better then a lot of teams….but who the (frank) could really know with so many question marks and having watched them the last two years.

Dont see it.

There sure are a lot of fans who can see into the future and those fans who are lucky to own that ability absolutely scold those as idiots for not having that ability. Must be nice.

I will be very surprised if the Flyers wind up with a better record than NYI, NJD and Winnipeg.

I definitely believe the Islanders and Devils are better than us.

No chance they are better then NYI...NJD AND WINNIPEG

At least they now have a true pp qb for the first time since a young ghost. Anyone is better than Prov back there unless he finds a yips cure.

If Ellis is back along w structure from Torts they are a decent team. If not they struggle.. simple as that.

However, unless we figure out why our guys keep ripping hips and groins none of this really matters. It’s the most underrated issue with this team and the media for the most part have been asleep on that one. I use the word media kindly cause other than Bill, the hockey media in this town are a disgrace to journalism and should be tarred and feathered for their idiotic and childish JG coverage..

That is all

Not sure why someone would be called an idiot because they disagree on a teams forecast, but hey some folks are raised by wolves..

You think they're gonna be better than the Isles and the Peg? They finished 23 points behind the Isles last season and 28 points behind the Peg last season. Sorry, I don't see it. Perhaps the other 4 teams you mentioned. Perhaps!

Yeah, I’m gonna steal wussycat, even though I know it was censored.

Can’t believe it was censored…

Know what is my favorite part about this room? The love. Definitely the love.

Everyone is frustrated about the same things, but they’re all ready to tear another guys throat out about how they see the giant mess. My god, it’s like politics.

A guy from Philly once told me ‘don’t take directness as an insult.’ No time for niceties in the City of Brotherly Love.
