This is a terrible hockey team, they seem to have no heart or passion each and every game.

Vorecek is a complete waste. Cooter is playing like he thinks he is in junior still with the hot dogging, bare down kid FFS. These signings of old ex Flyers are a complete joke, Fedo and Knuble are terrible hockey players now. Talbot is showing why ****tsburgh let him walk. Foster isn't a NHL calibre dman. Timmo thankfully will be gone in 2 months. Coburn is making Timmo look like a stud dman. Giroux has played terrible thus far. Briere should have stayed on the LTI, he will be our buy out...Guaranteed. Luke Schenn had his first bad game. Bradyn had better picked it up if he wants his parents to be able to cheer for one team. I hope Read got a good education cause he may have to fall back on it sooner than later. Grossman is starting to make Pronger look fast.

Bryzgalov has been the one steady guy on this roster, fucking imagine that. This fucking team has me off the deep end, ther fucking embarrassing to cheer for.


I give them until next Thursday or Friday to show something magical or something huge is going to go down. Couple big trades, demotions or firing.

FUCK

[2yt4u]

Fire Lavy and his staff of merry idiots for starters.
Make a couple trades to infuse some life and hope.
Or just go Charlestown Chiefs on everyones ass!

Anyone else think that C may be a little too heavy for Roo's shoulder?

They show glimpses of energy, that is about it. I agree for the most part this season they look flat. I actually thought once they got their wheels in the latter part of the 1st they looked lke they had it. Cycling the puck, crisp passes, working the corners, getting quality shots. Read had a huge oppurtunity infront before losing the puck.

Voraceck hasn't done a damn thing. Nothing. Cooter is another guy who shows he has it, then does something stupid. That giveaway last night was costly, and the turning point in the game. Everyone knew the line and defensive unit needed a change, yet instead of doing the smart/easy thing and dumping the puck into the zone he tries to be fancy and it cost him big time. As soon as they scored he put his head down and knew that was on him. The kid needs to mature, this isn't his first time around. As for Fedotenko, he has been brutal. There is no other way to describe it. Knuble on the other hand atleast is a bit of a grinder, forechecker. You'll see him digging for the puck, and get involved in the scrums in the corners. No, he isn't much of a physical presence, but I believe he deserves a roster spot. He still plays his game the same way he always has. The Flyers don't need another flashy foward in him, they just need the ones they have to step up. Talbot has also been pretty invisible, but not nearly as bad as some of the other guy up front. Foster may not be NHL calibre, but for now he is better than Lilja in my opinion. The defense is hurting that's for sure,..but at the moment where do they go? Who do they make a move for?

Grossmann has always looked slow, just even moreso this season. Is it because it is taking him extra long to get his big frame ito game shape? I'm not sure but he hasn't looked all that good. Not terrible, but not good.

Bryzgalov has been the best guy on the roster thus far, and yeah, imagine that. Imagine if he'd have played this well in the playoffs last year? I really hope he continues this play, as this is the Bryzgalov we'd all hoped we'd see. He's looked amazing at times this year, and never looked bad. The big oops in my book was Lavi starting Leighton against Tampa. Bryz has been playing great, the season is young...ride the hot goalie. He didn't need a break. Leighton looked a bit slow, which was almost guaranteed since he hadn't had a start in the NHL since 2010 nor did he play during the lockout. The problem I can see happening with Bryz is that if these guys don't start playing well infront of him, he's going to lose a bit of that confidence he has going for him right now and get into a funk like he did last year. He's basically kept them in the game almost every 1st period this year. The guys infront need to help him out, because there is going to be a game here he is off his mark and if they don't step up it could get ugly.

I don't think so. He's not playing great, but he isn't flat out awful. He looked good to me last night. Watch his puck work, the guy is amazing. The area he needs to improve is get rid of a bit of his cockyness he seems to be showing, and to mature a bit. Saw him get his stick knocked ut of his hands in the Flyers zone last night and instead of picking it up, he had to throw up his hands in disgust right away. Pick the stick up, if the Refs see it they'll call it. Him acting semi-Crosby out there isn't going to help the matter. Be a leader, not a whiner.

These guys all seem to be rotating their individual good games with other guys bad games. They need to click as a team. They need to play well as a team, and have an off night as a team. Not one guy plays good and 5 play bad and then switch it around the next.

It's still early, and they really haven't been beaten badly. Even with their lackluster play, they've for the most part been in every game. Cut out the little mistakes and the dumb penalties and they'll get going. They're currently 2-6, let's not count them out yet. After the '94/'95 lockout they started 3-7 and ended up winning the division by 8 pts. Granted it's when they traded for LeClair and Desjardins, but something out of the possibility of a good trade isn't out of the question. This team has a core of solid players, most of whom are extremely young. Yes this has been disappointing so far, but I don't think they're near as bad as the record looks.

[Flyers2001]

Read is a second or 3rd line winger who can kill penalties and put in 18-22 goals a year. He fills that void. He is much better than Feds who has not been noticable.

The Flyers didn't learn from years ago when they passed the torch to Richards, Carter, Umberger a year too soon.

They tarded JVR and didn't resign Jagr because they though the young guys can take the next step. Same thing, growing pains. This is year 2 of the transfer and they are clearly not ready for it. I would have paid the money to sign Jagr or explored a better option than signing Feds and bring in Knuble now.

-The mix does not work. They need defined lines. They had them against the Rags earlier and it resulted in a nice win.

yes, he has played well, and is the most talented player on the team, but I've never felt that's what makes a captain.

[Creevjam]

my problem is this is a completely different roster than two years ago and they are just as emotionless and boring to watch, therefore we need to change the problem which is lavy. And if homer can't see it maybe he needs to go to.

[Phillyfan11]

Gee, we're 2-0 in games where we dress a fourth line of 2 guys who are grinders/fight/hit anything that moves... Figure it out Lavi.

simmonds comes back tomorrow, can i start bitching about lavy sitting sestito preemptively?

HE himself shut up real quick when Parros got in his face. Not saying he has to fight heavies all the time or necessarily should have fought that fight, but perhaps you need to step back a little too and get off his "sac" yourself.

[Phillyfan11]

Lavi's mismanagement of his fourth line is absolutely atrocious. Rinaldo on the 3rd line is/was good and works well, especially with Schenn also out there to throw the body. But how he kept skipping Sestito during fourth line shifts was just terrible coaching and it's not because Sestito is a tough guy. (Though that does play into it.) It's more in the fact that you have a guy who just proved he can score and has skill (look at his AHL numbers and numbers in Europe) in a game and you skip him so you can double shift Giroux??? You do this during stretches of the game where your team is dead too?

Sestito didn't see the ice the first ten minutes of the game but his line saw 2 or 3 shifts in that time.

Funny thing was, in the ice time he got Sestito actually did some good things. For instance, in the second period, he forced a turnover by taking a good run at the Dman and connecting on a solid hit that set up a shot opportunity I believe. I just don't get it. I understand that G is struggling and youre looking to get him going, but his consistant lack of utilizing a good fourth energy line is terrible. Nothing happend on those double shifts with Giroux either.

Again Lavi, Figure it out!

[thekidd21]

Lavi is only good at calling timeouts at the appropriate time. thats all the good i can say about him, at least this year.
