ECQF Game 4: Pittsburgh Penguins @ Philadelphia Flyers | 7 PM ET | CBC, TVAS, NBCSN, NBCSP, ATTSN-PT

[EpochLink]

Would Flyers fans entertain the idea of hiring Alain Vigneault?

 

[Cletus Marley]

Philly is still in this. Never give up!

 

[Hopslam]

What an embarrassment. Hak can't be fired fast enough.

 

[Whale Mingo]

Remember all the talk in 2012 about Giroux taking over Crosby's spot as best player in the world? Good times, good times.

 

[Harvey Birdman]

I hope CG sits on his bench with that face till they turn the lights off on him.

 

[Dubi Doo]

Damn, Philly didn't even put up a fight towards the end. Completely demoralized. Embarrassing effort for the fans that paid a large sum of money to watch that shit show.

 

[Penguin Suited Up]

Flyers aren't big bad Flyers anymore, the Pens are tougher physically

Flyers can't match Pens in speed either.

This series is a joke. Remove the Flyers 1 win and look how lopsided it is.

Even the one win they had was mostly controlled by the Pens until the score got out of hand. Philly has literally outplayed the Pens during 1 period of this series.

 

[Cyclones Rock]

They ought to melt the ice at WFC. It's over.

Would Flyers fans entertain the idea of hiring Alain Vigneault?

Don't see why not. He's not a BAD coach. He's done some good. Couldn't be worse than hak

 

[Hockey4Lyfe]

Honestly felt like a preseason game. Probably one of the worst home playoff crowds I’ve ever witnessed in sports. No chanting, not noise. All boos.

 

[illpucks]

Even the one win they had was mostly controlled by the Pens until the score got out of hand. Philly has literally outplayed the Pens during 1 period of this series.

I can't make out if the Pens are actually this good or if the Flyers are this bad.

 

[CrazyJoeDavola]

I'm just sick to my stomach from this. I threw a long rant into our Fire Hakstol thread, but basically:

If you can't get a group of Philadelphia ****ing Flyers up for a playoff game against the Pittsburgh ****ing Penguins in front of a Philadelphia ****ing crowd, then why the hell are you in our locker room?

Should a head coach have to get his team going against the Penguins in front of their own crowd in the Stanley Cup playoffs?

 

[CanadianPensFan1]

I can't make out if the Pens are actually this good or if the Flyers are this bad.

They don't need to be mutually exclusive

 

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

Matt Read personifies the Philadelphia Flyers organization.

An absolute joke.

What’s wrong with the Flyers organization? Any specific reasons why they are a joke?

 

[Whale Mingo]

I can't make out if the Pens are actually this good or if the Flyers are this bad.

A little from column A, a little from column B.

 

[c9777666]

Matt Murray- feels like he plays differently when up by 2+ goals compared to trailing

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

In 4 games played in Philly between these two teams this season, the Pens have outscored them 20-4.

 

[Pens x]

The concern for me is that the Pens aren't nearly as good as the Flyers are bad. I hope they don't get exposed in the 2nd or 3rd round.

I expect them to get exposed in round 3

 

[Fatty McLardy]

I can't make out if the Pens are actually this good or if the Flyers are this bad.

its little bit of both

 

[ncm7772]

As does Gudas

Strongly agree.

 

[ncm7772]

I expect them to get exposed in round 3

If they make it that far, they will.

They aren't as good as the past two seasons.

And I'm a Pens fan.

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

Honestly feels like flyers are disrespecting the playoffs at this point. Second game in a row where they couldn't be bothered. Not that game one was any different.

 

[Harvey Birdman]

Should a head coach have to get his team going against the Penguins in front of their own crowd in the Stanley Cup playoffs?

Even as an opposing fan, it’s two sides of the coin. Watching years of Dan Blysma I saw a coach that couldn’t get his player directed or motivated properly. Your players have to provide from their end but if the coaching staff doesn’t meet them at center ice then it’s all for not.

 

[ncm7772]

Should flyers fans be more mad that their team didn't try? Or the fact that the Pens didn't try and won 5-0?

Serious question.

 

[3074326]

If the Pens could just play every game at WFC from here on out, they'll never lose again. Home away from home. Thanks, Philly.

Why? This isn’t the regular season. The champs are dialed in...
