The crazy thing is, despite this streak they havent gained much ground in the standings. This year the Eastern Conference is very strong. Every team is playing pretty well.
The abundance of overtime and shootout games, and the phony point system the nhl uses is ruining the league. Too many games are worth 3 points, while a regulation win is 2. So you can keep "winning", while the rest of the league eeks out 1 or 2 points. Teams absolutely shut it down in the 3rd for the guaranteed point. It makes nhl games even more boring and worthless
I agree. They do need to change up the OT/SO point system.
yup should go with 3 points for a regulation win, 2 for ot win and 1 for ot loss.

Crashing back down to reality. This team is still a bubble team at best.
And my god does Couturier stink- at best he's a third liner. They need to address the 2nd line center position thru a trade and/or draft.
Let me add, Hextall screwed up big time on the off season signing of Weise and Gordon, more so Weise. Dale Weise has done absolutely nothing to warrant the 4 year deal he got. I didnt understand it then and it looks even worse now. At least Gordon is gone after this season. Terrible decision by Hextall.

the East is stacked. I still think they make the playoffs but it will come down to the last 2 weeks as usual.
Agree on Couturier. Never been a big fan of his. I think he is average at best. Very good defensive center but I agree at best a 3rd line center.
i hate Lundqvist, this is going to be a low scoring game.

About to lose again. Offense has been MIA since Couturier got back into the lineup. 3-0, put it in the books. Will be 5 straight losses to the Rangers. this team is a complete mes.

Went to the Alumni game last night. Mrs FMe had an absolute blast and after we drank with the ice girls. The only time in 5 years living back here where I have seen four 9s/10s together. So hot and we got free drinks. Gotta give it to the Philly fans....Full house to see a charity "game"
Only bullshit piece was that the penguins trotted out some motherfucker who was thirty. He set up the 2nd goal and scored the third. Desjardins was the only other person out there who looked like he could still play

I think Desjardins right now could play better than most of the pylons we have on D playing right now. This team is bad, right now barely hanging onto a playoff spot with a complete week off now with no practice. Other teams will surely pass them. The defense is brutal and the goaltending is sub par. Forwards dont back check and Claude Giroux is a Powerplay specialist at 29, has lost a step or 2 and is making almost $9M per year. Just too many 3rd/4th liners on this team. Forwards prospects need a huge boost in the system and this team needs more top 2 line talent. They will either miss the playoffs or just squeak in at the 7/8 spot.

Agree on Giroux. Sucks at 5 on 5. might be the most overrated player in Flyers history. time to explore a trade for him.
always nice when they beat The Rangers (although i was watching the sixers game instead).

I saw a stat yesterday, as of 1/1/17 the Caps have scored 104 goals and the Flyers 40. This did not include last night.
Alright, alright, alright!

I was out the other night and talking hockey with a flyers fan. He went on a five minute rant on your C. Said so many things that were true. Time to move on from him....At least to take that C away. He's really not good. No idea who would trade you for him. Perhaps on a stacked team he would be a good addition for PP...But that is too much money for him.

How did he fall off the cliff like that? At least decline at a gradual pace. He went from 60-0 like that. Wasn't so long ago he had the most points in the league over a 5yr span although i did help that Crosby was hurt during that time.

ahh no. went to the game and with the wind was cold as shit. had a fun time though. Flyers have to sell at the deadline. get rid of as many of the veteran d-men as possible and i'd be open to trading any of the forwards. oh and Neuvirth sucks. always liked Mason more.
Ronald Hextall is officially starting to scare me. Is this a rebuild or a mix of the two? It seems like that and that won't work. Today's move screams that he believes this is a playoff team that has a shot at the playoffs. And the fans all know they are awful.
Also resigns Neuvirth and PEB who are both easily replaceable players. Jesus.

they had to sign a goalie to leave unprotected in the expansion draft after the season so they could protect Stolarz.

I don't think trading G is the right move. This is a team that is still in the rebuild mode. have to get rid of some dmen and I hope that they bring up some more kids that Hextall drafted on the defense.

If you are rebuilding any high price or underproducing players are fodder.

I agree somewhat. the flyers i believe are about 4 years away (if things work the way i think they will) from being contenders. the reason i say 4 years is cause they got some young dman that need to learn how to play the game and it usually takes longer for dman to learn that any other player
Wow, Neuwirth just went down (just collapsed!), hope he's ok

Now that Hextalls pipe dream of making the playoffs is over we get some mildly exciting news before the team hits the golf courses.
Sam Morin called up and paired with Ghost tonight for his first NHL game. Wont be the least bit surprised to see him pounce a Devil tonight after last games events. Vecchione in the lineup as well. Good to see what these kid can do in albeit meaningless games.
And so you see, I have come to doubt All that I once held as true I stand alone without beliefs The only truth I know is you.
so Giroux at 29 years old thinks he will all of sudden return to his previous top form next year even though his numbers have declined for the past 4 years.
scares to me think that Hextall actually thinks Neuvirth is good. Average goalie at best.

This team is bad, right now barely hanging onto a playoff spot with a complete week off now with no practice. Other teams will surely pass them.
The defense is brutal and the goaltending is sub par. Forwards dont back check and Claude Giroux is a Powerplay specialist at 29, has lost a step or 2 and is making almost $9M per year. Just too many 3rd/4th liners on this team. Forwards prospects need a huge boost in the system and this team needs more top 2 line talent.
They will either miss the playoffs or just squeak in at the 7/8 spot.

Sam Morin called up and paired with Ghost tonight for his first NHL game. Wont be the least bit surprised to see him pounce a Devil tonight after last games events.
Vecchione in the lineup as well.
Good to see what these kid can do in albeit meaningless games.
All that I once held as true

The only truth I know is you.
scares to me think that Hextall actually thinks Neuvirth is good. Average goalie at best.
