GDT: Game #16| Feb. 16, 2013|Flyers at Canadiens |7:00 p.m. ET

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

of course im concerned but im not going to *****nmoan when we play in the toughest division in the league, have the most back to backs in the division and are missing some key players. During a season in which none of our players have had any sort of training camp with one another.

They pretty much deserve the record they have right now. The back to backs suck but everyone else is in the same boat as we are with everything else.
Chicago has 12 or 13 back to backs this season. I doubt anyone has any sympathy for us.

 

[Qyburn]

Thats been a penalty for long time.

Just because something's been dumb for a long time doesn't make it any less dumb.

 

[Krazed Flyer]

We may not be the worst team in the league, but tonight we definitely played like it... We need something... A change, some fire like I saw a few games ago... And it needs to happen quick

Lets burn and pillage the WFC like Dorner is in there.

 

[Krazed Flyer]

Does it really matter? The team played an awful 60 minutes of hockey and you're complaining about an automatic goal that did nothing to determine the game.

Idk, I mean just about every Habs player got hurt and fell to the ice with a concerned ref blowing the play dead. Did V need to lay down and cry to get the refs attention? Is the NHL now full of amateur actors who need to emphasize their pain like in Soccer? What if this had happened on our lead in a 2 second-left game and we lost in OT? Im talking complaining about the principle matter.

we are not as good as chicago. we are not a playoff team this year, clear as day.

This is who we are this year, and expecting anything else is going to be futile. Not only do we have 6 wins this year but look at the teams we have beaten. florida, winipeg, lightning, rangers, and carolina 2 times.

none of those teams are exactly powerhouses this year.

on top of that this is the easy part of our schedule. Look at March. We may only win 2-3 games all of march.

The sooner everyone understands that this year is already lost the better.

 

[sa cyred]

Didnt get to watch the game due to being out with the lady. How did gus look compared ti fosters play?

 

[Qyburn]

Like Islamabad.

Yes!!! First smart thing I've seen posted all day. Oh and we should re-sign Shelley and give him the C

But not Shelley, Matisyahu!

 

[Krishna]

Shelley in my opinion has been the captain since he signed a deal here

Heart and soul type of player.

Doesn't want to leave the team because he literally can not skate away.

 

[FlyersFan61290]

Much better then foster and he even showed off his heavy shot for a small guy. Def an improvement over foster but he had limited ice time (right under 17 min)

 

[Krishna]

Like Islamabad.

But not Shelley, Matisyahu!

Islamabad Flyers sounds good.

When I googled Islamabad flyers, I saw a picture of Hartnell a few pages down

 

[Victory5]

really ? unacceptable..

understatement of the year

 

[Dirty but Good]

Flyers realistically had no chance this game. Last night was the game to win and they blew it, this I blame on the scheduling and yes I'm using that as an excuse for tonight.

Just gotta hope they can win the next two at the Island and in Pittsburgh to finish with a 3-3 road trip. Getting Hartnell back would really help.

 

[Qyburn]

Unacceptable is actually a very strong word. It's definitive and delineating. I guess you thought he should have added expletives? Seems like the kids today don't think their sentences are worth paying attention to unless they use them. This is a real thing I've noticed. It doesn't bother me (at all) but interestingly I never walk by a group of kids anymore without hearing the F word and/or the N word 3 times per sentence.

 

[mailman89]

What's up with the Flyers

No desire! Not showing up! Being out coached! D-SUCKS! I think will need a overall this summer! Bring Conte in as Gm and make the Flyers and Phathoms play the same system so when they come up they know it. Must go for help Timmo,Briere and others! not Bryz fault! Is g hurt or just getting shut down know he's the man. Build from net out then have team ala NJ

Now you know this isn't true. I get that you're unhappy with the game, but you know very well that Pacioretty and Gallagher didn't leave the game because they were faking it. Likewise, the high stick on Armstrong and hit by Giroux on Emelin were clearly visible on every replay. Stuff happens, we won the game but lost two players with "upper body injuries" -- no way to tell what that means right now. Practically every Habs fan, me included, didn't think any of this was dirty (although I'd have to look at Giroux's play again). No finger-pointing at the Flyers, we're just not happy two guys got hurt. I'm sure you can understand that POV.

 

[kimmofan44]

just finished the game, only mustering 2 shots in the first and not breaking single digits until the 3rd is horrible. I've watched this team go from one take away from the cup to 3 games under 500 under lavy in 3 yrs. you have ask, has this team gotten better or worse with him as the coach? have they shown improved in problem areas (like being inconsistent in effort and focus)? does lavys system and style of coaching seem to be working? I answer no to all and I can't see anything getting better with lavy calling the shots. let him finish the year and look for a new coach in the off season. also ( in the off season) make up for not getting Weber or sutter with a big well planned pick up on defense and get a big name sniper forward to play with Claude. don't. do anything hastily right now. let us suck and do well with a good pick up in the draft. also, to know that the back up is in and only manage 6 or 7 shots in the first 40 minutes is unacceptable. where is the urgency? does this team think this season is over already? why is there no pushing and shoving or stirring the pot AT ALL THIS YEAR? that is something that at least lets you know they care still, and I haven't seen any trouble making or passion at all. they play like a team that wants the coach gone....

Nodl, Niedermayer, Neimi, is that the word?

Hits were clean. Giroux never used his still and Armstrong got hit with the puck. I don't think anyone was faking anything but I didn't think anything was remotely dirty or questionable either
