1-0 a minute into the game deja vu all over again

The slow starts or goals against in the first/last minute of periods are going to kill us considering we're only scoring once and drawing two penalties per game as of late. The lack of penalties being drawn to me is a strong indication that we're not putting enough pressure on other teams in the offensive zone.

I was thinking during the broadcast last night while one of the commentators was talking about the 2 goals Giroux last scored against the Bruins in a loss that we can't even get credit for games we've won...Lol

Jesus. He scored a critical 3rd period goal and the OT winner and you stated that we lost the game...

Chy im hearing rumors of Alshon Jeffery to the Rams for the Eagles 2nd round pick we got in the Bradford deal. That would be nice

I heard Jeffery also. The one I heard was Quick and Cook for Jeffery. I would do either in a minute.

We may be able to change the 1st Goal contest to the Only Goal contest the way the offense is playing.

So much for the fast start that coach Hakstol wanted to open the season...Lol

I'm surprised that there aren't yet people screaming for him to be fired.

29th in goals scored, 28th in power play, 25th in goals against and 21st in penalty killing.

Injuries aren't enough of an excuse. That's God awful.

At this points

Since this has been going on for three coaches now im going to go out on a limb and say its on this roster of players. It may be time to shake up this line up.

 

[Maverick426h]

I can't personally blame Hakstol, because it is clearly on the players to me. I'm glad that we're not playing division games right now. Once we get back to that, we're going to find out what we have here with this team.

 

[lasgop8]

Is it time to break up the 1st line?

 

[Maverick426h]

I think the top line has already been broken up a bunch lately. We have so many damn centers. I would probably have Giroux, Gagner, Laughton and White at center, then move either Simmonds or Schenn up with Giroux/Voracek. These guys need to quit fucking around and drive the net though.

Couts need to come back like right now

So the Daily News is losing a bunch of people including the Flyers beat writer - the newspaper industry is sad these days

Not many people read actual newspapers anymore. On my bus in the AM everyone and I mean everyone is staring at their phones.

I'll still buy the Daily News sometimes just to read the sports section, I like getting some extended Flyers reading and I like to cut out sports articles and collect them - I have article/box score cut outs from the last 6-7 years

That's funny I also bought the NY daily news everyday for the last 10 years. I stopped about 6 months ago when they raised the price to $1.25 and provided a lot less coverage for a lot more money.

The Philly Daily News is I think $1 - they provide some real good Eagles coverage, the Flyers coverage is better than any other local newspaper and I like that they show the box scores of all sports games in the scores section

I guess I'm one of the few that likes both the paper and online - I think using different resources is nice

Anyone else of the theory that we no longer have any "untouchables?

Sad to say,but it may be time to start using Gee,Voracek,etc..as trade bait for good returns-and not all god damn centers.

The only spot I'm comfortable with is goaltending,as they both have to stand on their head every game,as they're hung out to dry.The amount of shots they have to face is getting ridiculous.

Whatever the new system is,flush it down the damn toilet and start from scratch.Start with defence,as in how the hell to backcheck,shot block,or stay on your man.

It would be difficult to start trading everybody at this point - they need to let these last few drafts develop and then they'll have the depth that can help these top players

I just pray that a guy like Giroux isn't already 30 by the time he gets some serious help here. Otherwise, we'll have completely wasted the prime of his career.

This team is so disappointing to watch right now. I personally wouldn't mind the theory that anyone can be shipped out at any time but I don't think it will happen. Hopefully this scoring drought ends and this team is fun to watch again.
