GDT: Game #8| Feb. 1, 2013|Flyers at Capitals |7:00 p.m. ET

[StandingCow]

Everything just seems off by a little bit. The passing, shooting, the entire team just doesn't seem sync'd.

Who woulda thought the highlight of most of our games would be Bryz?

 

[healthyscratch]

Capitals not letting Erskine talk to the media after the game. Interesting.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Initial test: Simmonds does not have concussion.

Holmgren sounds like Andy Reid

I'm cautious but any good news must be very well welcome...

 

[JinzoBlaze]

Holmgren sounds like Andy Reid

all he needs is the persistent cough

 

[FlyersFan61290]

That was nice.

Didn't know he had that edge

 

[Beef Invictus]

Through 8 games the Flyers have 222 shots and 16 goals. That's 7% for shooting.

I don't know if that's low compared to other teams or what. Just throwing it out there.

Rinaldo takes some stupid penalties, but at least he has heart.

Actually he did not take any stupid penalties tonight in my opinion. He got screwed on the first call, and he and the guy he fought got faked out by the ref on the puck drop......Zac has tremendous heart and courage, especially for such a small lad. I like the kid !

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

From Sam @ Inq.

Simmonds has a head injury and whiplash, Homer says.

Simmonds will be tested again Sun. Sounds like only slight chance he plays Sun.

(I think Sam means Sat.).

Lavy is incredibly pissed off

I like him too, and feel bad for the kid. But he's hurting the team, through no fault of his own, with the penalties for being Zac Rinaldo. It's time to cut ties with him.

That means the opposing goalie has an avg save % of 0.930 aka the save % of an all-star goalie so I'd say that that's bad. Jonathan Quick didn't even save that much last season.

Makes sense. A lot of our shots are garbage from the blue line and boards.

I understand where you are coming from........It really sucks for him that he is under such a magnifying glass, that stuff can really kill the spirit of such a spirited player.He woulda been loved in the 70s !

 

[freakydallas13]

Good thing we sent Laughton away from this trainwreck of a team, it would just ruin him as a player.

 

[daynus]

not 100% in sync

yah i like that wording. 7% shooting percentage is very low. i still remember some % from what if sports. warren young, the year he had 40 goals and 250 pms, was 32%, the gretzky,lemieux crazy seasons were 20%+. some of the richie carter years in philly were around 15% for those guys. missing big guys like simmonds,harts will not create much of a rise in the 7% we are currently at. gonna take lots of practice, and that isnt in the cards in this 48 game season.

 

[MsMeow]

so this is what it feels like to be a leafs fan

I laughed when I saw this. Then I cried. Then I realised, to my sheer horror that I'm going to see Phi/Tor in ten days at the ACC.

If that's true then who is our Kadri and Kulemin? So I can make ridiculous trade offers on the rumors board.

B. Schenn and Voracek?

 

[Beef Invictus]

Read is our Kadri. If you frequent the trade board, you know Flyers fans package him into every deal.

 

[TheLegendkiller]

Nobody I know is going out tonight. I'm drinking right now in my apartment but that loss was so bad I have half a mind to just wing it to a bar and find some girl. Nothing else will make me feel better at this point.

Take out the Florida game (7 goals on I think it was just 26 shots) and we're looking at closer to 4.5% for the year.

Now that is definitely horrific.
