Fantastic game they battled hard

New year new Flyers baby!!!

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

2019 will not be an improvement over 2018, methinks.

 

[OrangeAndBlackMetal]

Please, just don’t get SHUT OUT

 

[Angry Hockey Dad]

Only 43 games to go boys!

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

I think we need a new coach now. Not f***ing later and sit with Gordon. Are you f***ing happy Fletcher?

 

[Rodu58]

I remember when Hitch was still here, after a really bad game someone here said he should make the team watch him eat a big box of donuts in silence. Good times

 

[FlyTimmo]

Do something Fletch

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

At least they didn't try. That was a huge one.

0-for-39 on my gambling.

I switched to the Sixers game with 6 minutes left, am I still an authentic fan?

 

[bennysflyers16]

Trade
Waive
Recall x 3

Do it Tomm am.

 

[Oskar Man]

Fletch, you know what to do.

 

[Outlaw Samurai]

Time to go shit kick a puppy to cheer up.

 

[bennysflyers16]

3 straight shit efforts and 2 goals scored is troubling.

 

[Maurice of Orange]

 

[bennysflyers16]

PP % got worse too, still always to go
Neuvys number must be league worst

No line up changes next game.

Flyers played fine in this game honestly.

Ghost played like a Norris Trophy winner.* Provorov was great. Konecny played like his hair's on fire.

New lines were rolled out, which we all wanted. They generated a ton of scoring chances. Obviously things aren't going to click perfectly in the first game together. It's a very tough opponent on the road.

People talk about Jordan Weal like he's garbage but this game was probably better than 80% of the games Nolan Patrick has played this year. Laughton had some nice moments.

*Ghost had to cover for Hagg, who wasn't great. Ghost was the guy who had the defensive position, took out dangerous wingers, blocked shots and stayed back while Hagg was activating in the offensive zone (with little effect). This just in but Ghost is way better than Hagg in the defensive zone.

 

[Outlaw Samurai]

I mean, they did look better. Provy and Ghost were good. Trash is still trash.

 

[Laveuglette]

This year is over already. They will sell at the deadline and go big in the summer. I expect next year's team to be very different from this one. It's a mess.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

I think we need a new coach now. Not ****ing later and sit with Gordon. Are you ****ing happy Fletcher?

He needs to look at our extensive list of prospects in lineup form - like put them in potential future lines like Appleyard did a while ago - and then just take literally whatever draft picks he can get for Simmer and Andy, and then think to himself "Yes, addition by subtraction is the way to go." And ****ing Moonhead as well. We need these bozos gone. Call up Pimp, Myers, NAK and let them get blooded in the league.

 

[Tripod]

Reminder:

Lindblom on 2nd line: 10 points in 18 games
Lindblom since demotion for Weise(lol): 1 point in 20 games

 

[freakydallas13]

There is a part of me that thinks we need to do a full rebuild. Trade Simmonds for whatever you can get for him, that is a must, but even the good vets (G and Jake) could fetch some nice pieces. I don't think this team will be ready to compete before Giroux loses a step, and if that is the case, you have to trade him and go full rebuild.

 

[gertbfrobe16]

wonder how long it will be before giroux turnes in a list of teams he will go to.

 

[Qyburn]

Fletch, you know what to do.

Attempt to distract disgruntled fans with inexplicably bad special effects?
