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

[Tripod]

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

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

Great way to reward a kid who set up our only goal till the very end,

 

[OrangeAndBlackMetal]

What’s the point of getting excited over the draft when they wouldn’t be used correctly?

You mean jack Hughes won’t benefit from playing with Dale Weise and Phil Varone?

 

[TCTC]

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

On the bright side, at least Fletcher has lots of time to plan for next season.

Just don't do anything stupid before summer.

 

[Striiker]

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.

100% right.

We have proven top end players here, both young and old(er). It isn't a matter of lacking skill, it's that they're mentally broken. No hope, no confidence, tons of frustration, and no chance to turn it around if nothing is done to help them.

The coaching staff remains a massive problem, although slightly improved, and Fletcher must be tanking because otherwise he's being disgustingly negligent. We'll see.

But hey, G got a point and the hunt for Jack continues.

Stars loss will be 9 games. If we can’t beat Devils Sat this can easily hit 14 games. That’s impressive

 

[Flyerfan4life]

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

so ur sayin theres a chance we can get him ?

Word.

 

[YEM]

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

smh...you gotta believe! [until the inevitable 7 game win streak to end the season]

 

[TheKingPin]

I want these players to sit in their own shit. Don’t give them anything to be excited about. Don’t go on another win streak to push at the end. Teach them a lesson that you can’t just turn it on at the end of the year or the game. You have to show something the entire year and game.

Of course I would call up Myers, Misha and NAK for their beneifit.

Simmonds value going up. Jakes too.

We won’t ruin Hughes. Q will be here to coach

Couts
Hughes
Patrick
Frost

Fletch is as worthless as tits on a bull.

Our only hope is Scott getting desperate and cleaning house from Holmgren and Clarke on down.

 

[gertbfrobe16]

well at least i predicted the right score. winning team and first goal, not so much.

 

[Embiid]

I'm watching the post game Caps telecast...the players interviewed are all pretty much insinuating how easy it is to play the Flyers

I wouldn't be surprised if teams around the league start holding post game practices or scrimmages to ensure the players remain conditioned and sharp

 

[Rebels57]

Trade
Waive
Call up

Let’s go !!!!

They arent going to do anything

Status quo.

I think Hexy might have even tried something by this point.

Brutal situation.

i want scott to fire Fletcher just for laughs

 

[TheKingPin]

I think they may actually do it this year. This many changes and the uncertainty of being traded really seems to have screwed them all up inside. Ottawa isn’t going to try and tank either. They should try and do anything to avoid being a top 3 pick.

Why else would we continually face backup goalies?

 

[Freddy The Fog]

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

Because Hakstool was a hockey genius!!!

As frustrating as it is , status quo is 100% the right decision until the trades are made.

This line up won’t win a game until after their bye week

Flyers post game theme song after all the losses

Hopefully he accidentally flushes himself down that toilet also.

They were on an episode of Miami Vice. Made Sonny smile.

I haven't soured on Fletcher yet. He fired Hakstol which was the one move everybody desperately wanted Hextall to make.

Keep telling yourself that.

Keep telling yourself that.

They will happen. 100 % guaranteed
