Jets are my western conf team so I have some insight. Leaving Roslovic aside as he unfortunately didn't hold a lot of value by his play and hold out and just considering this a Laine for Dubois swap, only time will tell whether it was a smart move or not. Overall I think it may work out for both teams although Laine doesn't seem to fit Torts idealistic player traits. Strangely Dubois does but he hated him???Dubois and a 3rd round pick traded to Winnipeg for Laine and Roslovic.
That looks like a big overpay for Winnipeg to me and what I would’ve been worried about on the Flyers side.
Was always the most likely scenario. All 3 players wanted out of their current city, so there you have it.
Hey Mav I love your optimism but Boston has half of their backups in even Halak and they are destroying the Flyers. Maybe it will change but right now they are twice the team this is embarrassing. I'm convinced that they could play all backups and win...They are twice as fast and play a system that Philly can't compete with. Plus the refs don't call them for anything.If we play hard for anywhere near 60 minutes of action tonight and actually support our goalie, we should roll Boston. Their defense is weak and they don't have the offense to outscore us either.
I'd like to get Patrick going, so I'll take him again.
Panic button officially pushed.We need to seriously address the issues on defense. This group isn't cutting it. I understand the injuries, but the struggles seem way too common with what we have currently.
I'm not wrong, we're just not playing with any urgency or desperation. Our players are half a step slow all over the ice for the entire game. It's like watching a determined, well-organized team of players against just a random collection of guys.Hey Mav I love your optimism but Boston has half of their backups in even Halak and they are destroying the Flyers.

Dead on they have 5 in the Flyers zone and five in their zone at all times. I can't speak! No Flyers to be found. I think they were drunk... sure making me drink.Panic button officially pushed.
for the life of me I don’t know what part of the ice our forwards play in. It seems like they are stuck between the blue lines. On offense it is often only one forward on their own trying to do something. I don’t know where the hell they are on defense. Shit, McIlvoy plays closer to our net than our forwards, when B’s are in O zone.
So is it bad coaching because I'm not sure I can believe that although I'd fire the PP coach since they can't even gain the zone. Therien is crap!I'm not wrong, we're just not playing with any urgency or desperation. Our players are half a step slow all over the ice for the entire game.

On paper or if both teams are playing at their very best, we should be a lot better than Boston. It's just truly embarrassing right now.
It's difficult being a fan when your team gets waxed and there's not a damn thing you can do about it.
We're way, way better than this, it's just not a determined, team effort at all yet.
Fucking beautiful hopefully these guys play better for the kid. Truly embarrassing showing in Boston. Bergeron is getting up there and he's twice as good as any Flyer.I seriously mean it he at least skates and plays hard ...
I like to see this because that's how I fucking feel too.
I'm not going to say it's bad coaching when one team is outskating the other and just looks like they want it more. That's on our players not getting up to play the game at an Nhl level.So is it bad coaching because I'm not sure I can believe that although I'd fire the PP coach since they can't even gain the zone.

Bergeron is an elite veteran, but I don't think we can start comparing players based on a game like this one. It will be laughable across the board...LolFucking beautiful hopefully these guys play better for the kid. Truly embarrassing showing in Boston.
