The Hawks have run their unbeaten streak to 21. There is still a long way to go but does anyone think that the Hawks will break it? I am voting now as the Hawks have had some close shaves lately and it is still a super hard thing to do.

The Flyers did it before the shootout which narrows it down to must wins NO TIES.

Will Alfredson get any punishment from Shanahan? I doubt it he is good old boy veteran of the NHL>

The game is still sixty minutes. There was a time it was an unwritten rule to not run up a score. That era is gone. JMO but the Flyer should have kept trying to score and play in the Caps end right up to the last horn. The semi defensive mode cost the shut out/

So I advise turn off the sound and eliminate Doc and Pierre and enjoy the hits like Flyer fans have done for years. GO FLYERS

I want first overall.....draft pick!

The only problem with that is our high draft picks very rarely come through for us.

with the way Lavy likes to shuffle lines around...I'm sure in due time we will see this line combo!

Of late he has Giroux doubling up on lines so it is a real possibility.

Depth move. As long as he replaces Knuble it works for me. Now to flip Briere to Ottawa for Bishop or Lehner and another prospect and I'm happy. Mike handles the puck like it is his first time on the ice does not come close to the Knuble of old

It is an old cliche you can't fire the whole team so the coach has to go. This deserves some consideration. There are many inconsistencies on this team and he has not had them ready at the start of each game. I know they are big league rs and should be ready to play but sometimes they need a kick in the butt before they remember that. It looks like this team needs a hard a$$ to light the fire.

Methinks he had a few?

When the coach relies on his Time Out ploy every game it misses the mark. When I see a goalie is not in the game pray tell why can't the coach see it.

Having said all that it does not excuse the less than solid play of he team.

As for the officiating even JJ gave alittle shot to OHallaron during the game. I very rarely hear announcers indicate bias on the officials.

Too bad the rest of the team did not.

Mea Culpa sorry I stepped on the lines. I should read before I post.

From @BillMeltzer

Per@GLefrancoisRC, Timonen made the trip with the Flyers to Montreal. Status update could come around 4:30 EST.

Too bad the rest of the team did not.

At this point I would trade them all for a box of Cracker Jack. Just Sayin.

I waited to see if anybody else saw hits after the whistle and the chops to our guys? Do the Jets play this style all the time?

Another loss or two like this and our friend Lavy will be scapegoated and released. This is not a coherent group. The defensive lapses are awful.

Best,

Howie

I still think Offense is missing. The first line is conspicuous by their absence. Giroux is an anomaly right now and I wonder why? Stands to reason if your offense is in their end the opponents probably won't score on you. JMO

Comcast was at it's worse and after trying to get Center Ice tonigh turns out that when they fixed my problems they left me with a new one. C an anyone get me a site to see the game?

Maybe the change of scenery was all JVR needed?

Massenhoven has been around long enough to do a better job than he does. Especially against us.

The Logo on the front coupled with the name on the back= penalty.

Mea Culpa on the Bryz quote.

Am I the only one that thinks we need new assistant coaches badly. I would love to see Lavs stay and turn it around but that wont happen till we get some good x's and o's type assistant coaches I think....How about making Murray an assistant, hes a good tactician. I know he is with the Phantoms and probably be better suited developing the young talent(none there yet) but this team is just not putting it together...they look very lost. Poor passing, stupid line changing penalties, and did I mention the pp and pk suck ass. What are your thoughts fellas?

What is Berube's job?

Confucious say: If you do not put the puck on net during a PP or shoot the puck on the PP you probably will not score a PP goal.

Bryzgalov has done some good work so far tonight.

The only bad spot was the failure to stop the breakaway muck like the other night with the Devils I hope this will not carry over to Shoot Outs.

The only thing I thought was not right with the D was it looks like Grossman lost a step?

IMO I thought they played well but not great. They came back strong and did get short sheeted on penalties.
