Holy sweet jesus we played shitty tonight.... I dont remember any good first passes out of the zone the entire night. The PP was completely atrocious. The boys didn't look like they would score the entire evening. Just a pathetic performance overall. Completely terrible.

I'm in shock with how terrible this team has played this season.

How have we lost our identity over the course of one year? Sure, losing Carle, JVR and to a lesser extent, Jagr hurt us but we still have the pieces here to be a contending team.

My prediction? They've stopped listening to Lavy and he will be fired in a week. Terry Murray will replace him and implement a defensive minded system.

Briere looks awful out there. Trade him for an equivalent winger. Trade Couturier for a PMD, like Yandle. Bring Laughton up from junior. Stop forcing the puck to Giroux all the time.

Yeah, something is going to change soon, either with the roster or coaching (or both)...this team is too good to struggle.

Their most obvious need, imo, is an offensive dman and second-line scoring help (Read's eventual return will help there). The only thing that has gone right for the team all year has been the emergence of Voracek and Bryzgalov's decent play (no where near earning his salary, but at least he hasn't been a side-show this year and more often than not he has played well).

I don't know why I watch these Flyers games. It's so frustrating watching them play with Bryzgalov on my fantasy squad.

How is Philly only winning 3-2 despite having 6 opportunities on the PP? And what's with the brutal turnovers leading to goals against. First one a stupid turnover by Voracek in his own zone after he tried to use fancy moves to get around a guy one on one, then Briere goes off the ice while the puck is hemmed in his own zone, and then NOBODY REPLACES Briere on the ice leaving the Flyers a man down.

Then Giroux with a stupid turnover in the opposing blueline leading to a short handed goal.

And I get that Bryzgalov is getting hung out to dry on a lot of goals but it's hilarious watching his feeble attempts to make saves when there is pressure on him. The fact is if this guy is gonna be paid 7M a year he should be able to make a few big time stops when his team does leave him out to dry. I'm tired of defending him.

In case you're wondering, the reason why I'm so frickin frustrated is because Bryzgalov just singlehandedly lost me my goalie %s this week. Wish he'd just get hurt and put me out of my misery.

the Flyers won, didn't they?

Haha, yeah I know.

Nobody else feels my pain frustrating to watch though.

Dude, you are the goalie killer, you should be punting your goalie stats. Drop all of your tenders. All other owners will rejoice as he returns to his Phoenix numbers

I have to stop watching this team play. It's infuriating.

I don't know how you Flyers fans put up with this shit. For a team that is supposed to have solid depth at F, it seems like every night there's one or two guys that just blow chunks.

It would help if Bryzgalov could make a ****ing save.

Tonight is Matt Read.

Bryzgalov

Its not like his owners didnt know what to expect.
