This would be a good time top put Giroux in the rafters for a game. I agree Varacek is dong a lot of skating but goes nowhere and then gives up the puck.

@Fletch44  If it ain't broke.....

 

 

 So, perhaps, just maybe...we were not as bad as we thought. Maybe just a horrid start that ended up fixing itself over time. I do have no doubt that Berube has a lot to do with this. Who knew? On the surface, it looked like the Flyers passing up great young new coachs for the old tired ex-Flyer club. I owe Homer an apologly, Berube was a great choice, and not cause we are suddenly winning.....but that does help...lol. He has put his stamp on this team, defensive awareness first, then the goals will come. I really, really am liking how Berube is fitting in. Even his line matching does not look like a rookie coach. My confidence in Craig grows with each passing game.

 

 Never thought I'd be typing this a few weeks ago, but the Flyers appear to be one of the better teams in the East, great balance, great goaltending, excellent coaching and a realistic defense first approach which fits perfectly with our rosters skill sets. This type of philosophy is what wins in the playoffs, not Lavi's HORRID run and gun crap!!

 

 After having my heart broke once again, I have renewed vigor, a sense that everything is gonna be fine....I'm so happy it's spilling over into other parts of my life!!  Everything suddenly has a silver lining!!

Center Ice had the Isles broadcast team and they had Jonesy on. He was asked why the Flyers are playing better? He replied conditioning and now they are skating.

Or maybe I should have sad "the beginning..."

It's a start!

Why Hartnell?

To his small credit he did not celebrate after the empty netter.

Once again the Snarky one Ruyxpin gets it right. I am holding a pair of Aces do I throw one away and ask for another card?

Bettman on TSN said too much is being made  of the fight?  Isn't he the one that said it needed to be addressed by the owners. The man is a TWIT.

If the gloves must stay on the sticks will come up.

Speed on the ice and the slow motion view  are to say the least different. The Ref saw the shoulder to the head but after seeing the replay they gave the Oilers a makeup call.

Should have watched NCIS I guess. NO HEART to this team. Sad state of affairs when Old Man Gill is one of the best players on the ice. Even if they play this bad all year and  get the first pick they will not get the best player.

We dint need another foppa type captain. VLC gets hurt too often and has for a few years. G is the captain so let him right this massive titanic of a team

G is the Captain in letter only and if you noticed I said maybe. Time to try something try anything JMO

One way to maybe get this thing moving in the right direction. Put the C  on Vinny. The man can score pass and work hard and oh yeah not afraid to drop the gloves.

Talbot is a veteran and he probably said,"I am not happy here which does me and the team no good." He is not playing like the Talbot of last year IMO> Downey probably means Roshill gets even less time on ice also JMO.

As good as he looked Gustafsom made some glaring mistakes in his own.end  Icing the puck and not passing too good in the offensive end.

Typical Refqins game. I know many will say sour grapes but this is the norm especially with Jackson in the picture.

Jettisoning Sharp was a hell of a lot stupider than losing JVR. 

I agree Sharp played well in Philly JVR did not.

Lvi not the problem that was known by all.but you can't fire the whole team so you cut off it's head.

I Say The FlyersWill Be Better With Mgynn And Raffl These Next Few Games. 3 Reasons. 1: They Can't Be Any Worse 2: They're Two Young Kids With Something To Prov. 3: Just Like Last Year When Half Of Our Overpaid Dmen Went Down We Actually Played Better

It Looks To Me Like A 1/3 Of This Team Just Collects A Paycheck. jmo

Streit and Timmonen are no longer top D men both defensively and Offensively JMO

If they don't get the high sticking call on the Panthers near the end they could have been in big trouble. First line is conspicuous by their absence

I think is only delayed while waiting for some cap space to free up?

@Phillygrump long overdue!!

After the Blues beat us up, Shero changed the way the game was played. He proved you could win and goon it up at the same time.

Resign Gagne and put Vinny and Claude with him for the French Connection?

I can only hope this does not turn out like Gratton. We needed a goalie then we need a goalie now but once again they get a forward. Having said all that I like Vinny and I want this to be a good deal.
