Post-Game Talk: #42 | FLYERS (A) vs. Capitals (H) | Tuesday, Apr. 13, 2021 | Another loss

[flyersnorth]

on the flip side, if you were say Giroux..

wouldnt you be basicly done with this Org. after all the time put in to just constantly get wrong hire after wrong hire..

not to mention see x-Flyers leave and enjoy sucess immediately upon another team.

Since G's rookie year in 2008-2009, seven different teams have won the Cup. 24 others have not.

The Flyers have paid him $72 million dollars to play hockey.

It is really difficult to win a Cup, period.

The organization absolutely could have taken several different paths, and maybe there's a Cup or two in there. Or maybe not. Maybe they end up worse than they have.

I can understand being "done" with an organization if they treated you poorly or didn't even try - but that is absolutely not the case here. They just haven't been able to find the right combination of things, and have been unlucky with some of their major drafting opportunities. But it's not because they don't care or don't want to win.

I have no idea why Carter would return to this fanbase, which is good because it spares us from getting him

Will he be booed, cheered, or ignored in a Pens uni?

Would any fans even care enough to be there?

Good point.

I don't remember the last time the team was worse than this current trash.

2006-2007?

1930-31


Gotta go back to the Quakers.

The names they were supposedly in on (Carter and Goligoski) are terrifying.

This is an incorrect reading of the article.

1. The article says the Flyers considered Goligoski, “but decided it didn’t make sense.” Deciding against something isn’t being “in on” it.

2. The article clearly says that the Flyers’ interest in Carter was sometime in the last two seasons. (One would assume last season when they were playoff bound, in which case he’d have been a fine addition if he didn’t decide to stay in LA.)

We are currently on pace for more 5+ goal losses than that team. Only behind by 1 right now.

That's pretty disturbing.

In a season where the team was expected to take the next step forward, they've instead regressed to bottom half of the league. When all is said and done, I believe they will be bottom third.

This is the most significant off-season in as long as I can remember.

We've seen some ugly losses this year, but technically this team is still above .500. They're not even close to as bad as the 2006/07 team.

This team was called a CONTENDER heading into the season.

Instead we are trending towards being a bottom 5 team with the worst defense and goaltending in the NHL.

Led by a guy who always whiffs.

Great article on how much of an embarrassment this organization is through and through

A No-Show Performance on Ice: Thoughts on Another Flyers Debacle - Crossing Broad

Playoffs? How about dropping the P? Because after that kind of performance there are players who have run out of equity in this organization and no longer deserve to be here. Yes, layoffs are in order, and they’ll be coming… soon.

And while changes in personnel are nothing new on the other side of the organization, one has to wonder how so many people from one franchise can be so damn clueless and continue to make themselves look incompetent time and again.

that team cared.

I've covered some rough Flyers seasons and even been a player involved in a couple of horrible playoff losses, Buffalo 8-0 comes to mind, but what I am seeing this year now as a fan and not a player or a broadcaster has made me sick on most nights. The lack of competitiveness by this group on a nightly basis has been breathtaking. Losing is one thing but not competing and giving 110% effort is unacceptable. And the numbers that surround this team suggest just that!

lol, now that hes not employeed by the team he can write a zinger like that..

but if he were still on the broadcast team 100% that article NEVER happens

Who cares. It would be like coming out to your customers at work and telling them how much you hate your company, job and everything about it.

 

[Adtar02]

That

Elliott could of been a hellava lot better, but you cannot leave guys like Backstrom all alone. No one was within 5 feet of him. It’s such a passive PK. It is easy to run a PP against this team. It was a collective fail in our own zone last night

goal is the one I really don’t blame on him. Provy should have gone towards the puck.

Instead of continually blaming their defense, they really need to point to goaltending. Neil Greenberg had a great article on the Flyers goaltending. For example, when the Flyers gave up 9 to the Rangers, they should have only given up 2 or 3. This was based on the quality of the shots. He hit the nail on the head which most people seem to be missing for some reason.

It's bizarre. Other teams routinely don't let up goals on routine defensive lapses that happen to everyone. And at the same time, defensive coverage is also bad on its own too.

It's a really stupid situation.

Our goaltending is exposing av system. It should be better but completely relies on excellent goaltending

I want Therien to join Coatesy and Saunders on the radio.

[Striiker]

Blaming effort

Yeah, if the skaters cared more Elliott wouldn't have had one of the worst goalie performances we've seen over the past decade. If Giroux was a better leader, Elliott wouldn't have left the net and then tried to crabwalk back instead of sliding.

Love the logic here.
