seriously do you want to me to say this team will win a cup? why not just start the parade already if you want me to say that, why is it wrong to be realistic about what this team is, they are beating bad teams here, why is that so hard to understand? are you that desperate to just go into the playoffs and get knocked out again like they always do?

im not on this bandwagon until they win a cup, im tired of heartbreaks, excuses, suck ups, this season or any season doesnt mean crap to me until they win a cup i could care less, how many wins this pathetic team wins, it's not going to change my mind because i had hopes but they are always crushed. if anyone doesnt understand my frustration, then dont. i am a fan of this team but im not getting my hopes up because this is the type of team that always breaks your heart. its been 40 years that's why i have no hope.

yes i watched since i was 15, i dont care about the stats, yeah they sucked on 5-5, but they sucked more on the pp throughout last season, the only reason the stats went up was because they were playing better after the mason trade and the injuries and this year it's the same stuff. im going by every game, not by season stat total, 1-10 on pp against buffalo, is that acceptable for you, especially against a really bad team? are you really not concerned about pp?

the problem with this team this year and last year was special teams, they have to start scoring on the pp and play better on the penalty kill, especially against buffalo 1-10 unacceptable, you have to start scoring on pp otherwise this team will not make through the first round of the playoffs.

that's how LA and chicago is doing it, with the flyers, the first line is still struggling, they need a good winger for that line, i think the defense still needs improving, they need a pronger type to get this team over the hump. i like to see them play a really good team to see how far this team really is. in my opinion, they need more help.

if schenn can get us an impact player on offense or defense, then do it, but trading schenn for another unproven player is not going to make this team better, that's the problem with homer he thinks trading players just for sake of trading is not going to help this team, this team needs an impact player, plain and simple.

i think we should talk about playoffs if they actually make it in april, because there's alot of games left and alot of good teams they have to play, i mean yes they are playing well but it's still early and i want to see them play the really good teams like redwings, blackhawks, avs before we can say playoffs. you cant just overlook the rest the teams and say yes they will win it all or the make the playoffs because this is the type of roster that will show inconsistency.

it's been 40 years since the flyers won a cup, that's the reason why i dont believe this team will win a cup and the fact the roster is made of the same players that are so inconsistent even before lavy came here i dont care how well they play now because they play great games then play like crap the next, i just want a clean slate, gm fired, players contracts removed, players that actually want to win.

well, do you want me to say this team will win a Stanley cup and let's just overlook all the teams like they are garbage? im sorry i dont buy this at all because i have seen them go through 10 game winning streaks then 10 game losing streaks. i just want a clean slate im sick of excuses of losing for the 40th year, that's my frustration.

i mean yes the defense is playing better, the same mistakes are happening, there's no jump in this team for 60 minutes, it's one period and they stop playing, what i want to see this team play for 60 minutes, yes they get lucky goals but that's not good enough, i want to see this team put more effort in the offensive zone, goals or no goals. the way the jets were playing, they were playing like they putting the effort out.

right what i meant was getting a player and getting rid of a player that's not part of the core.

as much as lav deserved to be blamed for this but homer should take some responsibility for this as well, i mean after the injuries and young players came in to play before the season ended, they played really well, it seemed like they had good chemistry but in the offseason homer refused to get rid of the players they were causing chemistry problems when the season started, the whole team looked lost and im still not sold on this team until some of these players are moved. not keeping jagr was a major mistake, he had good chemistry with giroux and hartnell, that's why giroux is not the player he once was even last season, im not saying get rid of him, im saying give him a top line winger, he'll gain confidence and have good chemistry. it's the reason why this team is so bad because homer keeps destroying the chemistry by getting rid of players instead of adding a player to make this team stronger. after 2010, homer should have kept the team together and added a defensemen in fa instead of getting rid of gagne for mez because if gagne was still there in 2011, i think they would had a better chance of contending and maybe beating boston again.

if he's a good puck mover, i'll take him, the flyers are still lacking in that department despite the wins, timms is done, i would actually trade coburn for him. i would get rid of schenn for another puck mover, if he doesnt pick up the slack.

to simply put your team is missing a piece as much as flyers are, they need puck movers. it was evident in the CF series against the bruins, you have good offense, but lacking puck skills in your d as much as the flyers are.

the fact is this d doesnt have many good puck movers, they only ones that are good at it are gus and streit, timms was good at it and he's all washed up, if homer is still the gm, he has to get another puck mover.
