[LegionOfDoom91]

anyone want to make any predictions? think we make the playoffs? think we even get five hundred? I know its early but I'm trying to take the temperature of the room.

I'm not expecting a cup but I think we still make the playoffs but what do I know.

Coatsey is a top shelf performer...Leighton not so much.

would be the first time coastey ever got close to anything top shelf

We were looking good the two games before this. This was the second game of a back to back and we didn't have a goalie in the net.

I'm still on board, hopefully they come out strong on Tuesday.

I really feel like this team has motivation and focus issues. they look great one game then out of sorts the next, they look horrible in one period great the next then back to bad the third. its never a solid effort for games in a row, its always game to game. furthermore why had lavy not come up with a game plan to beat Tampa yet? he needs to be more flexible and creative when the situation calls for it.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Frankly it getting to be way ridiculous how apologetic they are this year.....I understand why but it's just too blatant now. They have to be a bit more objective for the sake of credibility.

yeah its pretty sad listening to it. At some point you just have to call it as they see it. Pretty bad if Comcast cant stand anyone being brutally honest. Instead its every goal against is a perfect shot that no goalie could stop. Even worse some people are buying it.

If we pick up a win vs New York on Tuesday those that aren't on board will quickly jump back on. It's an emotional roll coaster for Philly fans.

 

[Laveuglette]

Meh, no heart at all tonight. Hopefully they'll play better Tuesday.

 

[ILoveStephanieBrown]

Failed PP opportunities, dumb penalties and Lavi sitting Bryz all contributed to this loss. Bryz was playing well. Leighton hadn't played a NHL game in a long time and Lavi throws him in vs Stamkos, Lecavalier and St. Louis. Genius...

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

I think Lavy needs to reacquaint himself with a coke machine. Send a message to the team.

They're so chipper throughout the game too. At least dial down the joking around while we're all watching that quality of play.

It was one of Lavi's "gut" decisions......he needs to disregard his gut and think more with his brain!

Agreed. Even teams like the Rangers don't play well in the second game of a back to back.

bottom shelf burnetts.

 

[GKJ]

Went almost the same way last Sunday did.

The strategy of waiting for Matty Weak Wrists to turn the puck over resulting soul-crushing goals didn't quite materialize, did it?


The levels the announcers went to defend Leighton at every single opportunity was bordered on insanity, and very disappointing considering Clement was involved. Not even those idiots Steigy and Errey in Pittsburgh would make so many excuses.

Hockey is a game to game sport. Being bad one game doesn't mean you're bad. Being good one game doesn't mean you're good. Worse teams sometimes beat bests teams. That's what makes it exciting.

I really like Jj jonsey and Clement. I know they are homers but they are my homers. al morganti just said " there is no excuse for a game like this" talking about the lack of motivation.

the rangers were good against the flyers they just choked that game, they had opportunities but they were too cute in the passing. if the flyers want to go anywhere they have to get more shots on goal blocked or not, it's the matter of trying, at some point goals will eventually come but being too cute on pp will not work, plus faceoffs are a big problem they got to work on it or bring a player in that's good on faceoffs.

I agree whole heartedly but I'm speaking of the complete lack of motivation sometimes, how they just don't look like they have the will(or even a way sometimes) to win. when we beat most teams I still watch those teams giving all they have to try and win, I don't see that with the flyers every game. it almost looks like everyone out there is waiting for someone else besides them to get something started. I don't know, I'm just aggravated at the team right now that's all.

the Flyers outplayed the Rangers for most of the game. The Rangers were gassed but the Flyers deserved to win that game.

So when do we call Boosh up to play back up?

Not just this year, this started last year. I haven't had the Flyers' feed this year but last year I found JJ to be unbearable. It's like he's scared to death to say anything bad about the Flyers in case Snider is standing behind him. It's infuriating to fans who know the game, embarrassing to him and very confusing I'm sure to people who are new to the game and are trying to understand the rules.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Anyone that wants a good laugh check out the thread about the flyers on the main board.

The poster calls out both the flyers and Tampa for being bad but then claims he didn't watch the game.

 

[CSKA1974]

And no brain either. They played dumb on offence and failed to adjust their style even a bit.

 

[shipwreck]

Giroux just isn't doing as well without Jagr feeding him pucks...

Only a few players on the team are doing decent. And even then, they are like a shadow of what they were last season
