    the refs didn't bother me so much, as the lack of quality scoring chances did. seems to be a recurring theme lately.

    i'm more worried about the offense than goaltending right now. it's going back into the crapper. when was the last time they had a PP goal?

    I can't wait for this season to be over so I don't have to watch this team any more. They stink.

    They will never compete for the cup with carter, briere, and hartnell as 3 of their top 6 forwards. If that carter for carey price trade really was on the table they should have done it. carter is one dimensional (good shot) and he disappears for long stretches. You can't have your 2nd best player (arguably) do that. I'm not a big fan of his.

    add Carcillo to that list. there is zero reason for him being on any line.

    I think he's been one of their best forwards this year. I don't think he's a great player by any means, but he serves a purpose. My first statement also tells you what I think about the rest of the forwards

    Carcillo is a 4th line player at best. no way he should be on the Richards/Gags line.

    he has rocks for hands and brains and can't skate for shit.

    i'd rather see JVR on that line...or Danny boy, or even asham.

    he's definitely not worthy of having a role on a scoring line. No argument there. Their forwards blow, except for richards. Richards, Pronger, Parent, and Timonen are the only guys I like on this team.

    I hate rooting for this team...I can't wait for baseball to start

    tough to draft well after they gave up all those picks for pronger. they are fucked for a while. no goalie, no first round picks, too many long term deals, too many no trade clauses, too many shitty players. other than that they are in great shape.

    less than 2 weeks until the phils start...and mcnabb has one foot out the door. it's nice when the flyers are good, but baseball and football are both better than hockey anyway

    I agree it looks like a tough road ahead

    I don't agree with you about hockey as a whole I've always liked hockey the best with football a close 2nd then baseball

    way to choke away that second point :roll:

    goaltending sucks something fierce. offense sucks. this whole team is sucking.

    anybody catch the legal vs illegal hit vid's. i believe the league hand selected them.

    it was nice to see to illegal hits by the Flyers. Obviously the Richards hit from this season was on there. Next one was Carter getting someone. Then on the legal list, they had the Stevens/Lindros hit from last centruy. in all the thousands of games over the last decade, you couldn't find one with a pair of current players that was legal :roll:

    Luckily I was out last night and missed the game

    The Eastern Conference is really garbage if this team can be tied for the 5th spot right now

    My bad the 7th spot

    Hi Boys,

    It's been a while since I invaded your thread so I thought I would drop in. I'm kind of hoping that Philly hangs on to the 8th spot(however I think they'll miss the playoffs) so the Caps can take them out behind the woodshed for a serious beatdown. That's all for now.

    Ugh

    I can't stand this teams schizophrenic play

    How they managed to beat the Devils 5 out of 6 times and chase Brodeur twice is beyond me

    The same team that gets swept in a home-home against ATL

    don't worry, they'll get the devlis in the 4-5 round 1 matchup and get swept
