Patrick also said "stop being a bitch, all you do is dive "Oh ok. Thanks for clarifying
He was doing his faux tough guy act and was basically called on it by Simmonds. He looked scared and didn’t engage him. Then Patrick slashed him late and he goes down dramatically. Gets up and does nothing.
Either follow through on being tough or just stop it.

Which would still be a huge improvement. I've never thought they'd improve by the 35 points necessary to compete for a playoff spot.

Physically abused. They didn't come to play in the 2nd or 3rd period. The line construction was terrible. This team is in a rut. They need to string together a few wins or this could get ugly soon. The pressure is on. The next few games will say a lot about this team's near future.I didn't watch this game as when I finally got home, it was gross on the score sheet. Can someone give me an idea of why we got demolished against a bottom feeder?

The injuries on defense certainly dont help. Tennyson and Beaulieu are brutal together. Beaulieu has done well this year, but if he's put in a situatio. Where he's forces to play for defense than offense, then we're in trouble.Yeah, I think everyone saw it coming with how it was top heavy with the Eichel line producing and the lack of production from the bottom. However, I thought we had at least enough push from the D core up. We'll have to see some change soon.
I saw two periods of complete sluggishness and no energy that looked like people who weren't prepared to play a full game.
They looked very prepared to play when the game started. Then they started getting a bit cute thinking they would steamroll the Flyers with how things were initially easy on the attack. Philly made good adjustments along with amping up the nasty. We began to break down systemically and scramble around in reaction to it. Our coaching staff waiting way too long to adjust to what was happening. We were down 4-2 by the time they started adjusting the lines.
Getting McCabe and Scandella back should help mitigate the impact of the nasty. Dressing Girgs would have helped as well. Any word yet on why he wasn’t dressed.

Tennyson is the 10th dman in the organization (Should be 11th but Guhles’ had a tough year) and he hardly saw the ice last night (11:32). Our issues yesterday fall on the top guys that didn’t play well. Other than Jack no forward really played well.Watching Tennyson play, makes me ill. The thought that he's getting regular minutes in the NHL, is baffling. It's one thing when you're using him as a vet in the AHL, but he's brutal in his own zone, and his zone reads are garbage. The fact that I've liked Beaulieu this year, definitely makes me pray to the altar of Steve Smith for the improvement he's been able to preach to Nathan. In no way do I think Nathan deserves much more than a 1 year extension if the Sabres were to go that route, but he's night and day better this year from last.

Don’t get me wrong, Tennyson is heartburn inducing and I cringe hearing he is in the lineup for sure. But if the 11:32 Tennyson played was our only problem yesterday we would have won.
One was the 5th goal when the game was pretty much over.that 11:32 was an utter disaster, however. Philly got 2 of there goals then

I’m confused. I thought you were annoyed with Tennyson but now you’re talking about forwards.This is true, there just have to be better waiver claims available out there at some point than sticking to the same trash. A guy like Pontus Aberg would have been a much more serviceable addition when he was waiver exempt either from Edmonton or Anaheim. This is just me being frustrated with not improving the "roster" when it isn't working. I like the improvement that Thompson has shown for sure.
