Post-Game Talk: Flyers 4, Penguins 2 - And The Beat Goes On

[domaug]

i can count on one hand the number of players who are actually doing their part and not being a liability on the ice.

 

[ColePens]

Do it JR, it’s time.

I mean... there is enough evidence. It's a really frustrating year. I don't even feel like "analyzing" the play because it's just exhausting. It's like watching the same f***ing game over and over and a few go our way because Sid or someone goes wild and the rest go against us. We have maybe ONE or maaaaaybe 2 wins that were based on structure and actual team play.

It just sucks right now and I really doubt we make the playoffs.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Sullivan is fired by Tuesday tbh. This is just pathetic.

 

[SouthGeorge]

Letang is who I thought he was

 

[Jaded-Fan]

Not good enough to win, not bad enough to get a high draft pick.

This team is special.

 

[TNT87]

A shorthanded goal turns out to be the game winner. Sounds about right.

[KIRK]

If the real Evgeni Malkin, Phil Kessel and Kris Letang can show up, that would be great.

I'm just not sure if it would be great for it to happen now or to wait until Sully is fired.

 

[Bingo71]

Paper bags on heads and lots of boo birds are in order until something drastic changes.

This is a f***ing embarrassment to the franchise with the level of players on this team. The Gen X teams were laughably bad but they had laughably bad players. No excuse with this team.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Kris has slowly but surely reverted to his 17-18 version. We're in real trouble now.

He is trying to do too much because we suck. When Letang starts thinking and tryjng to be a hero, that's when he fails. When he lets the game come to him, he is a Norris caliber guy.

 

[Terrapin]

Can we finally admit that the Brassard trade was a disaster?

 

[KIRK]

Jim, you know what needs to be done.

Yet he spent the last 16 months not doing it.

 

[Al Smith]

It’s December.

The clock is ticking.

15-10-3 when MJ was canned, right? Coming up on that number of games and the team looks worse than that team did, and the core is three years older.

Kind of an entertaining game tonight. Two mediocre teams that will end up in about the same place in the standings.

Bad Letang crept onto the ice several times tonight. Sid worth the price of admission, Geno still in a funk, and L3 sucked except a few good shifts in the 3rd. DeSmith just needed one more big save, but you can't count on those from him.

Oh well.

 

[K Fleur]

 

[Turin]

Can we finally admit that the Brassard trade was a disaster?

Disaster? No I’m not nearly that dramatic. I’m not doing it in hindsight though if you’re asking me today.

 

[Phil68]

Our issue is not the goalie. Desmith and Jarry have been consistent in terms of playing well.

 

[WayneSid9987]

If the real Evgeni Malkin, Phil Kessel and Kris Letang can show up, that would be great.

Yea, some here wanna blame everything else but these 3 not showing up has cost the last 2 losses.
Add a little bit of Dumo in there too. He was brutal in COL.
They got a 5on5 goal from L1 and L4.
PP1 is -2 the last 2 games.
Geno, Phil servin' up blanks. Brass too, of course.

I think Geno's hurt tho. Hope so cuz yikes.

 

[KIRK]

I wouldn’t be surprised if Sullivan is fired by Tuesday tbh. This is just pathetic.

Unless nobody's talking, it's my understanding that he was safe as Sid returned.

I sincerely hope that understanding is wrong.

Problem is, changing the coach is only part of what needs to be done, and JR is under the deluded impression that this roster, especially on the blueline, is better than it is.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

Can we finally admit that the Brassard trade was a disaster?

After a game where he scored 1 of our 2 goals on an individual effort?

Interesting timing.

EDIT: Whoops, nope, that's wrong

 

[Shady Machine]

Can we finally admit that the Brassard trade was a disaster?

Not until I see how it ends. If JR flips him for something that helps then no. If he continues to be a non factor and walks, then yes

 

[mpp9]

Thinks it's time to reset things for the next few years.

Get a 1st for Brassard and call up TB to see what you have.

Look at the market for Kessel from now until the summer.

Realize Maatta does not play like you want the team to play. Send his ass to EDM. They're hurting for NHL caliber players still.

Rust isn't worth what we're paying him. It was an ok contract when he was scoring. I'm sure a team would be interested.

Let Murray take whatever time he needs and give Demsith and Jarry the net.

 

[K Fleur]

Feel for him being stuck with ZAR, but I’m over waiting for Brassard to do anything worth a damn.

 

[Shady Machine]

After a game where he scored 1 of our 2 goals on an individual effort?

Interesting timing.

Brass scored tonight?

 

[Jaded-Fan]

So every player and coach should line up and beg forgiveness from Sid for wasting an amazing year by Crosby.
