Post-Game Talk: #43: FLYERS 3 at Capitals 5, Tuesday, Jan. 8, 2019, 7:30 pm ET

[Stizzle]

This team is totally mentally defeated right now. Coaching in all areas, including special teams, and goaltending are huge reasons this team stinks, and they won't be changing until the offseason.

But they badly need a reason to feel optmistic about coming to the rink right now. Fletcher needs to call up Myers, Vorobyev, and NAK right now.

It's such an obvious quick move. Not only are they an upgrade in play, but adding youth and hope will help the other players mentally. An easy breath of fresh air.

It would also help to purge a few loser veterans to make room for the kids. Get the stench of 3 Hakstol favorites the hell out of the locker room. Put Weise, AMac, and Lehtera on waivers tomorrow. Signal the team that the front office still cares and are trying to not let them drown.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

****ing Hakstok !!!

[insert unfunny meme]

Looks like it wasn't the bloodbath I thought it would be...or are looks deceiving

Not a bloodbath. More like a paintdry.

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

Good way to lose the game, not like yesterday.

 

[tictactoe]

Payer of the game? Gudas.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

This team looks significantly worse now than they did under Hakstol.

They went from bad to a disaster of epic proportions.

 

[Danko]

Fire knobleeeeech. He looks to much like hakstol.

 

[Jtown]

I wouldn't say he had a great game but Couts ended up with two pretty, skilled assists in the third.

Of course, Jake also piggybacked on those and ended up with three points:

this was one of those games where coots staked his claim as a clear number 1 center in this league, and really a force to reckoned with.

 

[Embiid]

Good game ….they tried

[BobbyClarkeFan16]

KABOOM!!!!!!!

 

[JojoTheWhale]

I keep saying they can't catch Ottawa, but they've actually passed them in Goal Differential as of tonight...

 

[BigToe]

 

[Fire Tortorella]

What I'd miss in the 3rd period?

 

[CapnZin]

Lindblom TOI: 8:31 | ES: 6:32

2:08 less than the next flyer in ES TOI.

Looks are deceiving

Jones says one thing on Comcast turns around and says 100% the apposite on NBC(which is also Comcast but you know what I mean.)

Here is the crazy thing, they have no reason to tank. IN fact they should be motivated to be anything but the worst team in the league atleast personnel wise. Us on the other hand have no reason not to tank. THis really could be our year where we finish with the best odds to land the numbe 1 pick

Which broadcast is the correct opinion?

[Flyerfan4life]

Giroux really deserves better then to be on this Flyers team....

 

[TCTC]

Fewest wins in the league. Worst home record in the league. Worst goal differential in the league.

This is getting embarrassing. The players should be embarrassed.

 

[bennysflyers16]

Whipped thru Jets and Avs. Grubauer is horrific , like Flyer goalie bad

 

[Jtown]

Fewest wins in the league. Worst home record in the league. Worst goal differential in the league.

This is getting embarrassing. The players should be embarrassed.

i guess this is why most teams don't fire their GM's in the middle of the season.
