Thanks Bill

Hate to say it but no Staal or RR has the D slotted wrong for sure, but that is ok, while I will always root for them to win, I can find the silver lining in the loses.


make the playoffs or get a top 10 pick please.

Let’s see how York responds. Last year TK and Hayes were complete opposites how they responded. TK found that next level so maybe York does too.

Rebuild or not, Let’s go Flyers! It’s a matter of pride. Do NOT lose to these losers in SJ.

Bill, any update on RR that you can share?

He won't be playing anytime soon. No timetable at present.

How does this happen every year ?

10 -1 Loss by the Flyers as the Sharks turn things around. ..

Man, I can't believe how poorly, Pitt, Edm, Tor, and Ott are doing so far.

Pitt is in a real mess if they don't turn it around. It's long overdue that they begin tearing it down.

He apparently contracted Ellis disease. Not able to really identify the problem but out forever

Tonight is another steppingstone in building the Flyers culture. Looking for the Flyers to work hard, play a 200 foot game and be accountable and play the right way. I think I hit on all the proper buzzwords.

It's a multi layer injury. He's day to year.

For those that don't know what day to year is. It means he could play tomorrow or he could be out for the season.

Dubas is a genius. I hope they miss the playoffs and the Pens management gets exactly what they deserve.

I thought he was going to give them a jolt. No helping that roster. It’s crazy how bad that organization has handled their past 5 years. Is there a chance Crosby leaves?

Exactly. My boy Hexy did his best to destroy the evil Pens after infiltrating their ranks! haha

Seriously, It's an untenable situation. Management wants to re tool and go for it again before Crosby retires but the big 3 don't have enough left in the tank. Trade the vets and rebuild or they are going to need the NHL to bail them out again.

I don't think so but it would be best for the org IMO. Imagine the picks and prospects they'd get for him, malkin and Letang?

I hope we take care of a lesser team tonight. BUT... San Jose got their first win last season against us. It seems like the last few years, these were the types of games that were toss ups.

It'll be interesting to see how/when EDM starts to turn it around. I've watched two of their games and they aren't getting good goaltending (at least timely saves) but they also give up a few prime scoring chances. I'm not sure if a trade for a goalie completely solves their issues. Definitely a start though. Skinner and Soup have been below average.

Let's go boys!

this is a common misconception of the penguins, the big 3 are actually the only ones producing, and producing at an effective clip. It’s the rest of the roster that’s the issue. Thanks Hexy!

No. It's not a mystery injury. Internally, the Flyers know what it is.

Also, Ellis issues are known. It's a psoas muscle, but with various other groin/pelvic muscle/lower abdominal issues that are serious enough that they'd require surgeries in their own.

Smith and Rust have as many points as Crosby does. Guentzel has more points than Crosby.

If they were producing well on both sides of the puck, they'd be in a lot better place. part of the issue is a lack of D and goaltending, but the big 3 are no longer stirring the pot like they used to. (.. it's not just about points)

The bottom 6 and defense in general. This is true going back multiple years. Your captain Hexy is mostly to thank!

Them and the leafs doubling down with mediocre goaltending will never get old

Hexy again was smart enough to know that the Pens shouldn't do what they wanted to do.
