Post-Game Talk: #82| Senators at FLYERS | Sat., Apr. 11, 2015

[Phileeguy]

If I'm not mistaken, a Penguins loss of any kind and a Bruins win should be enough.

I see Boston as being just 1 point behind the Pens, but also down 1 ROW. So a SO win doesn't help them if the Pens make it past regulation. Which is why I prefer to see a plain regulation loss.

Listening to the post-game, it almost seems that the media guys have a complete different outlook than most of us on here

how so?

I found your team lacked fire. No sand paper, nothing. The Flyers of old at least punished teams when they were losing. There was always that fear present and that's a big reason it was intimidating playing them. I don't know if it's a league thing or a Hextall/Berube thing. But they seemed more like the Flyers of old when Holmgren was there.

Berube.

Thank goodness this horrible season is over. On to the best part of a crappy season! Draft and free agency!

 

[UKFlyers]

Poor season, may not be the worst thing in the long run. Berube is obviously an inadequate coach and a Playoff spot would have papered over the cracks. I've said this before, but I really don't want Berube and his head-scratching scratches and lineup choices anywhere near Morin and Ghost if/when they crack the roster. At least his flaws have been there for all to see, whilst the draft should give us some much needed excitement.

The performances of Jake and G in the first half of the season and Mason's play throughout were fun to watch.

Berube (& perhaps managemnt as well) took a hardline on cutting down on penalties this season. It was a factor in why they got rid of Hartnell. The team in result has been the polar opposite of what we've come to see out of the Flyers in the past.

The Flyers were the 10th most penalized team in the league this year which is massive difference over what we've come to expect over the years as crazy as that might sound (they annually finished in the top 3 over the years).

Now if only they would get rid of an apparent integral part of their team, Rinaldo, imagine how many fewer pks they would have to kill.

While I want Rinaldo gone if this is the alternative I rather see the team take more penalties. The team was incredibly soft this year.

its one of the reasons why i think our pk was awful too .

Congratulations to Ottawa, they deserve it and we don't.

Here's hoping for Boston and Buffalo wins!

I'm a little sad to see Emery leave the ice for the final time. Yes, he cannot keep up anymore. But the guy is admirable. His career should have been over. He worked his way back, and completely changed his game, going from an athletic goalie to a positional goalie. Great example and veteran.

I hope he ends up succeeding as a goalie coach.

Maybe it's his future here starting next year?

 

[Origina1Master]

Man Mark Stone sure looks like a good player. Heck of a steal on Vora there... Sure is nice to get a player like that in the 6th round! I always liked him when he was playing for the wheat kings.

 

[Angry Hockey Dad]

Yayyy its over! What a horendous season.

 

[Flyers845]

What a snoozefest today was

 

[Beef Invictus]

We shall see. Would be nice for him to work his way up first.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Oh, and another thing that Emery did that was ballsy as hell: Playing through clear pain. He never quit. In the Rangers series he was clearly in some serious discomfort and his movement were often labored. The guy is all heart.

Berube thing..

if u played with grit, u got benched...

not even kidding sadly..

 

[NyQuil]

Cheers guys.

We'll try to be hell against any Metro teams for you.

 

[Curufinwe]

he mailed it in today. not that i really care but he got what he deserved.

His turnover for the first goal was bad, but are you really blaming the 3rd goal on him and not Voracek?

 

[JustJim]

Berube been fired yet?

Exactly why I checked this site today. Hexy has to sack that joke of a coach!

 

[GKJ]

I disagree that the team lacked compete-level. Shots were 22-6 or something half way through the game, and all three Senators goals happened on pretty egregious errors by the two best players on the team. Not that I'll hold them to it as the greater good was accomplished.

Yes, I'm disappointed to see he's not fired yet - waking up today

See, Emery was the subject of so many ripdowns here on the forum, I'm not sure how many of the people here will agree with ya

I'm not saying he was a good goalie, just that he was a warrior.
