Does anybody want to talk abot the Flyers? These guys are a disaster and I feel like not enough is being made of it. It's not just the record it's the way they play. They barely compete and their defense is inexcusably disorganized and incompetent.
I continue to wonder how long they can hang on to their coach as if he was Scotty Bowman. I feel like any other coach in that spot would have been canned weeks, if not months or even seasons ago.
I like the Flyers, followed them since the days of Lindros. What a disappointing season, and oddly, the usual scapegoat (Bryz) hasn't been that awful.
That defense is absolutely putrid, and yes, they're disorganized and incompetent because theyre not that talented. Only FLA, NYI and CGY are worse. I'd be willing to think theyd be more than happy to trade some of that scoring talent for a solid, top-pairing blue-liner. Offense is pretty decent...Voracek is insane. Roo is solid, maybe not playing to what he potentially could do. Hartnell's been pretty quiet since returing from injury, though he got on the board yesterday.
I don't know if that's all on Lavy, but coaches get to take the fall in this league. They have to decide if they want to make a move for a player at the deadline for the playoff push or sell. There's still time for them, but it's running out and even if they do make it, that team doesn't stand a chance in the offs.
