Horrible bench management gave CBJ the tying goal. In reality cost 3 points. Gave cbj 2 and gave up 1

Talent. Teams that are "consistent" have enough talent to win with their B or C games. Any team in the NHL can beat any other team with an A+ night. Nobody can bring their A+ every day/game.

We have had so long to accrue talent that can rival anyone and it seems like we can never get to the next level. Its been a long time since the 2010 miracle season. Other organizations like Washington have won a cup and rebuilt their organization and are right there with the top teams again. Why not us?

It didn't help that a traffic cone is better than Drysdale at playing defense. His defensive skills are at a 2 on a scale of 1-10.

I just went on ESPN and watched it again and it pissed me off again to watch him on that goal .

Yep, gotta have balance, enough help from other assests on the team to cover for an offensive less night in another area, like I said, if the chemistry on the cates line becomes consistent, then we need to start piecing a solid line for Michkov to thrive, we have a draft and possibly free agency, just hope Danny B makes the right moves.

In Danny B we trust.

While I agree he got caught , look who got stripped right before that . That's about the 200th time I've seen that play from Laughton be cause instead of engaging he waits. Drysdale looks like if he would have a t least checked that dude he had a good chance at disrupting the play. Still got a ways to go but at least we've seen better heart for 2 games now. Also again Fedotov was very good minus the shootout.

Drysdale is the last line of defense before it gets to the goalie. Even if a puck is stripped at center ice you have defenseman behind you, that's their job. If you are gonna let the guy go right past you they may as well make him a forward.

Where is Deslauriers to fight Olivier for taking runs at Andrae a few weeks ago and then a run at Sanheim last night?

Koneckny at least knocked him on his ass. But you know, we have some decent size kids on this squad but they are all broads, none of them want anything to do with physicality Sanheim,- 6'4 244lb, Zamula- 6'3 200lbs, Ristolinan- 6'4" 209lbs. I could go on and on, Tippett not small, Hathaway isn't small , nor is Forester, they're just all gutless. Also besides a fight Delaurias brings zero to the team at this point. Hopefully it was said in the talk during the Panthers game that it was time for these kids to start being men! But yea I agree, Seeler shouldn't be the one out there throwing blows with Olivier. Just my

We have a team full of pusses. You listed most of them. Deslauiers could've definitely played against Columbus for that game instead of Lycksell as he was invisible.

So how do the Flyers get 50 pts with remaining schedule. ?
