That would be nice, seems this years Av's brawler is Erik Johnson but he really can't fight lol.
Well if you haven't supplied your liquor cabinet for the season then you better pick something up on the way home.
I have to stock up for the week anyways so i will be hitting the liquor store about 630 pm.
Doing shots between periods (for nerves)?
Nah tonight just proves the Flyers are a second tier team that will show a few flashes here and there throughout the season.
Hard to say logically they should be better than last year as the younger guys are gaining in experience. But nothing is guaranteed hopefully goaltending isn't their downfall or slow starts...
IMO consistency has been the biggest issue for the last 5 plus seasons, we always are lacking somewhere and the fixes are never permenent, like where are goalie situation is, how many of these players are here by the time Hart is a stud or if he's one. Where is the PK fux we desperately needed. We bolstered our 3rd line and that"s basically it. IDK it seems the same circle all the time.
I think that you are correct on consistency they are either super hot or super cold sometimes for a period or 10 games. It's quite baffling. I know that it's asking to much to be firing on all cylinders all of the time but....
I think the biggest problem is all the hype that we've heard is a little misleading. All we have heard for the last three years is how deep and talented our talent pool is, when truth be told there are a few diamonds and way more Zirconia's. Why haven't we seen Frost yet? IDK this teams whole issue is lack of consistent play, coaching and waiting for the second coming of Christ!
Consistency starts with leadership and since its been 5 years and its the same leaders its hard not to put it on them.
We tend to over evaluate our prospects on this board and in one of your posts you mentioned how many players will be here when Hart is great. Id only say a few like TK and Prov to name some.
I wouldn't go off the rails on this game as it wasn't so bad. We played a very good team and lost by a couple. Like you said here there were times we dominated and times they did. They just made their chances count because we dont know how to cover anyone in the high slot. I think with this team we are in the same position as last season as we didn't fix any of the problems we had last season. Playoff bubble team or 1st round and out.
