GDT: Game #7| Jan. 29, 2013|Flyers at Rangers |7:00 p.m. ET

[SgtJoseph*]

Worse news: Devils/Bruins in a SO, Leafs/Sabres in OT, Jets/Habs in a 1 goal game and Sens/Caps tied halfway through the third. It's bad enough to get no points but to see how many others are in 3 point games is a killer.

At least Pitts is getting spanked by the Islanders 4-0

Hey guys.

Voracek is bad.

He's worse than bad. God I miss us getting embarrassed in the SO s. We need those loser points so bad.

 

[Alchemy]

Chances that Voracek is still hurt?

Is that the excuse for our better players around here? They just plain suck right now.

 

[El Emperor]

If the trend with Voracek continues and we don't get 1st or 2nd overall, 2013 1st and Voracek to go higher?

No one will give up those two spots for Vorecek. It will take at least two more picks (including 2014 1st).

 

[BringBackHakstol]

Voracek is playing poorly. He's not alone though. A bad stretch of a couple games doesn't mean the world is over.

And maybe some of you need to check your expectations. Some of this is not that surprising for a variety of reasons.

 

[Krishna]

I am going to email Voracek an angry letter and hope he feels bad.

don't know about him, but Roo sure must be

As he rolls around in that cash.

 

[Karma]

If there's any positive to take out of this game it's that as bad as everyone says they played tonight, they still only lost by 1 goal to the Rangers. A team that some people are picking to win the Stanley Cup.

Voracek had a lot of credit over the summer, and rightly so. I'm not going to give up on him after 7 games, there's something else going on here.

 

[Claude28Giroux]

He shoots?

Yes...into the shin pads of defense men everywhere.

 

[Mike2000z28]

I gotta say Bryz has been our best flyer since the season started

 

[Jtown]

What was it that voracek hurt exactly?

Hopefully it isn't getting 25 million dollars.

 

[healthyscratch]

Outside of the goalie, that truly may have been the worst team game I have ever seen them play. Just bad in every aspect. Never seen so many turnovers and passes to the other team. They better get their **** together FAST.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

What was it that voracek hurt exactly?

Knee, in October.

 

[4thline4life]

I am going to email Voracek an angry letter and hope he feels bad.

I understand why your poster of the year lol

 

[Jtown]

Knee, in October.

ok that explains it, he had a knee sprain that could take some time for swelling to go down , then rehab after, then strengthening and then getting back on the ice. MOst likely explains why he is struggling in terms of mobility out there.

 

[TheLegendkiller]

Maybe Timonen should get the "C"...

 

[freakydallas13]

Im more concerned with Giroux and Voracek then I am B. Shenn. At least Shenn is hitting people, making me notice him once and a while.

Well overall the three have them have been terrible.

BTW why is Talbot in the top 9 still? Like this team needs some serious change.

Injuries.

You can't take the C off Giroux after 7 games. If you take the C from him you may as well trade him.

Because of the lockout, there were restrictions in place with team medical personnel tending to the injury and staff from releasing any information. He was supposed to be absent a month, which was about the time period before he returned. IIRC, he scored in his returning first game.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Briere had 10 of the 27 shots.
