GDT: Game #28| Mar. 13, 2013| Flyers at Devils | 7:30 p.m. ET

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Any think after Bryzs comments this was a statement from the team to lay an egg ?

Therien was compelling and succinct pregame in his criticism of the remarks.

I remember once, as a kid, I flipped myself over the handlebars of a scooter and went headfirst into a bush.

That was more fun and less physically damaging than watching that game.

Maybe if a mountain lion had defecated out a semi-alive and still able to spray skunk (don't ask; analogies don't have to be 100% accurate!) into the bush. And the bush was poison ivy. On top of a sinkhole. Filled with plague-infected rats.

 

[Hockeypete49]

Free passes for tonight : Hartnell, Simmonds, Vora, Rinaldo. Those are the only guys who showed up.

I think the French Connection Line ll. Sould be put to rest. Briere is playing with no idea what he is doing. Either he accepts a trade or else he is brought out cause all he does is score in the playoffs. Will guess what? We are not going to make the playoffs this year. Other than Hartnell I do not see any of our so called veterens step up. Briere, Talbot, Timonen, Coburn,Fedotenko need to help this young club. Read and Mez get a slight pass due to injuries. Oh well I am to pissed right now and turning this off before I really say what I want to.

And if the plague bacterium were riddled with some obscure hemorrhagic fever virus to boot.

One of you local Philly guys break into Holmers office and hide that ****ing 1st rd pick please.

 

[Giroux tha Damaja]

I do think Stolarz has the higher ceiling. Subban is more likely to reach his potential than Stolarz though.

Respectfully here, you're out to lunch man. Laughton is a checking/tweener type center prospect and Stolarz is just a big ass goalie with little else of note about him right now. Not saying they're not good pieces to have, but to prefer them over Subban is nuts to me. Subban isn't potential. He's killing it right now. He's scored 7-13-20 in 21 games. Fifteen of those twenty points are on the power play, and he's still a +5 at even strength. Him, Letang, and Larsson are leading the Norris race right now IMO.

 

[bennysflyers16]

To what end?

That they want him gone ?

 

[Phunhog]

Jersey sure kicked us in our snooki.

After weeks of Sam Carchidi saying from a "Source" Lavy's job was safe.. we get this...


Sam Carchidi ‏@BroadStBull
Source does not want to comment on job security of Homer, Lavy. #Flyers

lol

I thought they meant Malcolm the goalie.

Well then I'm an idiot and they're right. Boston can have him.

that would be my christmas present if they are both gone.

 

[Qyburn]

Yeah it was but it was actually Saturday and Rudy said it....I didn't know South Park used it..stole it? It was definitely a Fat Albert/Bill Cosby quote.

Thanks!

In the south park episode Clubhouses, they parody this with a running "Fat Abbott" theme. It's a cartoon they watch on tv. The line I was referring to goes "You know what Rudy, you like school in summer time". "School in summer time"? "Yeah, *****, school in summer time! Open your ****in ***** ass ears, ho! ****"

Did you watch Timonen lay out in front of ten shots tonight? That happened right? I'm not hallucinating? Same with Fedotenko. His effort was fine.

Briere and Coburn, I'm with you on.

 

[Flyerfan4life]

im not nearly upset with Homer as i am with Lavi.

but im fine with both going if real changes are made.

 

[FlyersFan61290]

That they want him gone ?

Highly doubt it. Why do so many people think the rest of the team has a problem with Bryz?

The whole team sucks not just him

 

[Qyburn]

I'll be honest, the odd conspiracy theory crossed my mind tonight.

I'm not proud of it.

 

[TheBryzKnees]

We're in the eye of a S****icane boys. The Flyers are a low s*** system.

 

[Sniped]

Wow Bryz with a .844 save % this game. You're never gonna win with those number from your goalie. Yeah, the defense was horrendous giving up 7-8 odd man rushes, but I can't picture the flyers sticking with this atrocious contract for 7 more years...

if it was true.. which I highly doubt it..

biggest disgrace ever

7-8 odd man rushes should never happen in a game. At most should be half that.

Bryz had a lot of opportunities to be a hero tonight and he didn't. You'd like for him to be a bad ass occaisonally and he isn't often enough. Sure it would be nice if he was able to make one or two hero saves and keep it a 3-1 loss. The Loktionov goal specifically was saveable. That said, It still would've been a loss and I have a hard time blaming him for tonight as a whole or on each individual goal.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Well then I'm an idiot and they're right. Boston can have him.

We were talking about Malcom Subban. Some poster was saying we should have picked him over Laughton.

 

[Beef Invictus]

How many goals were scored against on odd man rushes?

 

[Devonator]

Well to look at the positive, we still have an excellent young core going forward....if we do finish poorly this season, we have a chance at getting a Jones or MacKinnon or Drouin or Bartov etc etc ....

In the off season, I would have to assume Byrz is gone and rightly so and that means we will have to attempt to get someone like Bernier...

We also possibly have a shot at Perry perhaps...

And a coaching change...I think it is obvious the players are not playing for their coach any longer...

With these changes in mind, we can bounce back quickly...you can be sure that Couts will recover from his slump this year and with some trades and a solid pick in this great draft, we can return to being a solid team...may take a couple of seasons as our young players grow together.

Also, if we can get something for Brierie before the trade deadline, we should go for it...same with Timonen...

Not all is bad folks....regardless of those who think we are in terrible shape, we do have a solid future....

At this point, I would not be displeased if we headed down lower in the standings...we do not have the right team even for a surprise playoff run so their is no point in worrying about that this year....

Lets get a young stud and make some trades and buy outs, and tickety boo...we are back in it....

One must remember, that this is basically the same team that has gone to the finals and conference finals in the last few years.....
