#Flyers lost 4-2 to #Isles. “Tragic number” down to 9 points against Montreal. Montreal plays Buffalo tonight and could shrink it to 7.

HAHAHAHAHA THESE STUPID ****S HAVE LEFT THIS PAIR TOGETHER SO LONG THAT GUDAS ACTUALLY PASSED GIROUX FOR MOST TIME ON ICE WITH HAGG

The fact that Giroux, TK, and Couts are this ****ing trashcans most common forwards is absolutely insane.

Sorry but I still can't get over this. With access to this kind of data it's makes mistakes and player misuse so obvious . How can a coach or gm or anyone see this and not change something? It goes back to a post I wrote a while back that said something like if I were G I would tell the coach never to put me out there with him again. Mind blowing

 

[kudymen]

So he probably should have kept his ****ing mouth shut.

HEY DUDE IM GONNA GET YOU! UNLESS THERE IS A POSSIBILITY SOME STUPID SHIT I WOULD DO HURTS MY TEAM (which is somehow always the case btw)

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

But that’s not what i said

You said they would have made the playoffs if Hextall or Hakstol we’re still around. They weren’t making the playoffs this year regardless of who the coach or GM was after the start they had.

 

[PHILOUDELPHIA]

We have ****ing FOUR dmen who should be out there instead.

why did we draft hagg.

I get it hextall did all that drafting and you can possibly get a rotten apple

 

[Garbage Goal]

First game I’ve seen all of in a long time because I was there live. It reminded me why I stopped watching.

The refs were awful but the Flyers in no way deserved to win that game. The D zone structure was bizarre. They actively treated even strength defense like a penalty kill by collapsing towards the middle and passively blocking the point men instead of trying to intercept their passes or force turnovers. It’s like they chose to play penalty kill D at even strength and the shot totals reflect it.

Why does every coach we have hate Konecny? It’s a rhetorical question, I know every coach we have is bad.

 

[Hextallent63]

Beyond belief...

And this. No I'm crying. Thanks.

 

[PHILOUDELPHIA]

look at shifts not toi. hagg had the least amount of shifts

hagg needs even fewer shifts, I'd be happy at 0

 

[dag54]

it will be 5 after tomorrow's game.

Yup. getting real close to finally seeing Morin.

 

[Jtown]

You said they would have made the playoffs if Hextall & Hakstol we’re still around. That’s a false statement.

I will use last year as evidence for my argument. What evidence are you basing your conclusion on.

 

[PHILOUDELPHIA]

I don't know about all of you but after today's game,

I could use a belt. Drinks and dinner will be in the Menu

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

We bave to be near the bottom of the league in puck possession right?
Chasing the puck and the game all the time.
Gordon hockey!!

 

[trostol]

Screw everyone in the organization for giving me false hope and belief.
Get a real coach
Get a real 4th line.
Fire the garbage players into the sun

They really need to get rid of the old guard and that way of thinking..stop with the same old same old..no more hiring former players or ties to the org...get some new fresh thinking on there

It really goes to show how stupid it is when people say "Hagg's just a bottom pair defensemen. He's not why we're losing".

Our worst player is glued to our two best forwards... of course that's having a massive negative impact. And yet, those three forwards are so insanely good that they've managed to produce, in spite of their fat f***ing anchor.

 

[bennysflyers16]

look at shifts not toi. hagg had the least amount of shifts

So then worst D man gets pinned out there the most, yet is still a 100% lock for the D group ??

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

And now the only game on is Cansuckme.

LET'S GO WOFFORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is once again the Coaching.

The assistant coaches are morons.

I would love for us 1 day to pass the puck, the way the Redwings did in the 90s.

fast quick tape to tape all the time.

Great vision, brains, IQ

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

You really think it was all on coaching?
Lets completely ignore the great seasons our top end talent had. Hakstol was a average coach in college and a awful coach in the NHL.
I didnt think anyone could top Bill Barber. But the last 4 seasons convinced me otherwise

Imagine a coach utilizing players with skillsets that complement each other. Must be nice.

I didnt do a bracket this year. So I am hoping for carnage

 

[Hextallent63]

And when he's pinned out there incapable of getting the puck up the ice, our best players offensively are out there with him

Reality. They weren’t making up that large of a gap. You can’t put yourself in that big of a hole that late in the season.

From a point a perspective there was only three other teams better than them after Hakstol was fired & it still wasn’t enough.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

Gordon is done. When company-man Clement indirectly rips you, the writing is on the wall.

When Hextall was fired we were 5 points out of a playoff spot. Coots was still banged up, and we had no goalies. We were not even close to being out of it.
