I keep saying this every year, but this is one of the softest clubs I can remember.

Zero intensity, zero fire. The game has changed, and you need to change with it but this is ridiculous.

That needs to be one of the things that changes first and foremost next year. There are still clubs that play with snarl. Pathetic.
This is the opposite of what needs to change... the team needs to move further away from the old mentality of toughness and grit.

Hagg is the past but they can't let go. That's why guys like Ghost and TK are getting so badly underused.

Jake is an embarrassment out there

I don’t really agree with it, but I really do think either he or Ghost gets moved in the summer.

Can’t see Fletcher hanging on to both. Just a vibe.

I’m a huge hater of the coaching, and countless other self inflicted errors this organization has made, but at some point players will be moved too.

Sucks.

Hart isnt a machine and he is still way young. Stoly didn't have much of a future on the Flyers. The MacDonald contract was part of the Homer years of not caring about the cap and it is not even close to the same situation.

Hart also is not a delicate flower. Why is Talbot a better mentor for him than Elliott? Talbot sucks.

If you don’t think there is a place for fast, aggressive fore checking from bottom 6, you need to watch any of the top teams in nhl.

He isn’t suggesting old school goon hockey I don’t think.

I want nothing to do with Hagg.

You can play with skill and snarl. Flyers need to realize that.

Disagree. You can play with physicality and grit....and still not suck like Hagg. Things like winning board battles to gain possession.

Many games, it's like watching men playing against kids.

Christ, a team like Montreal shows WAY more grit than we do...and they use team speed to help separate guys from the puck.

That was, and is, doubtful.
We traded a inexperienced, inconsistent guy, who couldn't stay healthy (hurt again right now... knee injury apparently), for a goalie that was bad while on a bad team, but had a history of being really good. It was a bet on Talbot being able to bounce back and I can understand it.

Plus, as much as I hate the whole resistance to using youth, two goalies as inexperienced as Hart-Stolarz as the tandem for next year was something that would make even myself nervous.
