Thanks Bill

Devils 9 game losing streak, all in regulation.
Gee I wonder what happens......

9 game losing streak

played last night as the flyers rested

what could possibly go wrong tonight?

If we can start losing and get top 8 pick, not only do we have better chances in winning the lottery, we can consider a trade up for Eklund, Beniers, or Power depending on who starts to slide, like Coutourier did.

Farabee and Allison propping up Hayes on that second line. Maybe Hayes can be arsed to chip in another assist tonight.

I can not condone tanking but can accept losing as long as there is effort. This team just does not try half the time. At the slightest sign of adversity, this team wilts like a flower in the desert sun

They already lost to a team with an 18 game losing streak. Should be a piece of cake.

They play the Flyers 4 times so I'm sure they'll be a loss in there at some point.

Bill,
What's your take on Laughton?
Used to be among my favorites, now just looks like more bottom six forwards who can't score.

realistically there shouldn't be. They should be able to beat teams that are less talented than them each and every night

Where is everyone??

Oh, that's right, Hockey is boring in Philly...

Putting all young guys in and sitting vets.

The dreaded t-word.

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! See, I was under the impression that we'd been losing all along.

I just would prefer more of a guarantee.

Don't want to be winning by accident.

Were they playing a bottom 5 team with 33 points four games in a row? No?

Glad you understand.

Anyone see this back check by scheifle last night

Ghost is out today

Since then Buffalo has gone to beat teams like WSH, BOS, PIT and NYR

Sabres are more competitive now than the Flyers are. And that is without Eichel.
How pathetic is that?

He has always been a streaky offensive player. Still doing all the little stuff right and getting chances (including several breakaways). It's been a long drought but he has those every season at some point.

He is flyers breakaway king 🤴wish he could cash in on some of them. 🧐

Lots of players mired in slump Bill. Team confidence problem. Pass first mentality shows it.
