Put me in the zero interest category. I have been a fan since the 70s and this is probably the worst team I have ever seen. See you guys next season. Go Eagles!!

Anyone feel like this is a rental deal? Giroux gets a shot at the Cup and then comes back?

There is no bottom for this team. Please let this season just be over.

BITFU

Translation?

Living in California I do not get to watch the Flyers play very often that’s very few games are televised out here. Tonight was my first chance in a while to see them play and when I got home they were already down 3 to 1 at the beginning of the third. As discouraging as that was I figured it was a good opportunity to see what kind of grit this team has and the showing was absolutely pathetic. That might’ve been the softest most uninspired 20 minutes of hockey I have ever witnessed. This team is a complete embarrassment. If it wasn’t for Hart and Jones there’s a good chance this team would be in last place in the league which would be fine by me to get a top draft pick and Captain Zero would maybe drop his NTC to go to a contender and we could maybe bring in a real leader.

I guess that I am not the only saddened fan. Is there any hope for our Flyers?

Stick a fork in them, they are done.

And we can agree to differ, but I still don't see Mr. Not All His Fault as some great leader - and my perspective is only his entire career as captain. Yes, players in his room and on his roster say they like him and he's a leader but they haven't won much of anything under his leadership.

I have said it here many times - the Flyers will never win a Cup with Captain Zero. Good player, zero leadership. Worst long term captain in team history.

I have given up. Been waiting 40+ years and have come to accept the sad reality that the Flyers will never win a cup in my life time. They have not given me any reason to think otherwise. The sad thing is that I used to be a passionate fan that bled orange and black and would wear my jersey even when I watched games at home. I haven’t pulled the jersey out in years and I just don’t care about the team any more.

True, but my bigger concern is the mindset and overall game of Carter Hart. He HAS to be better.

I agree and I was saying it all during last season. My fear is we have lost our franchise goaltender. For a kid that had so much promise, last year may have done irreparable damage. He may never be the prospect he once was. Most of the goalies in the league would outplay Hart now. His confidence is shot and he is currently an average goalie at best. Light years away from a goalie that could carry a team on it's back when needed and not even close to what we need to contend for a Cup. Sigh.

I feel bad for Elliot but I don't want to put Hart in regardless of the score. Maybe only give him a couple more games this year and save him for next season. Hopefully the his mental game isn't already destroyed but our franchise goaltender might have irreparable damage.

On pace to lose 10-2. Nice.

Tank it. Get a draft pick. Who wants a Covid Cup anyhow? 

Seriously, who do you keep from this steaming pile of S#*t? My list...

Hart, Provo, Coots, Hayes, Farabee, TK

That's about it. Maybe a couple of the young D to see if they develop.

Hahahahahahaha! This team is a f#%*ing joke. Glad they won't make the playoffs. Blow it up, start over from scratch.

What coach is available to motivate this pathetic team.

Babcock? Not sure he is the answer though, or any coach for that matter. This is just a bad team.

I'm telling you guys, Hart may never be the same. Every ounce of confidence and swagger that kid had is gone and it is so hard to get back. 

I don't know, I think we are in real danger of shattering Hart's confidence and once he has lost his game it can be pretty hard to get it back.

they haven't been scored on yet in the third. that's good, right?

 

No, I wish the Rangers wouldn't have let up on them as I am sure they were coached to do. I was hoping for 14-0 so they would be the shame and laughing stock of the league. Now they are going to say something lame like, "we just need to put the first 2 periods behind us and build off of the third period for the next game" or some bulls**t like that.

This team is a ****** joke. They are YEARS away from being a contender and are going to waste our franchise goaltender who is going to be so shaken after this season that the damage may be irreparable. Missing the playoffs will be the best thing for them, maybe Fletch will make some real changes and get some D and get rid of our useless, overpaid "captain" while he is at it. Keep Provy, every other D man can go as far I am concerned.

Hate it, it’s just another gimmick in Gary Buttmans , modern day NHL. It should be a 10 min OT, no points if you lose in OT and if no one scores ,after that it’s a tie . So many teams kill off the clock to get to a shootout.

yeah but ties suck. play till someone wins. very likely that would happen within 10 mins of 3 on 3.

Yeah, but the shootout is less taxing on players, over the long haul.

true, but I'd rather see them play.

He finally did something useful. Hopefully this is a  much needed confidence builder for him.

that's what we said after the come back against the Pens when they were down 3-0 in the first 5 minutes of the game and won 4-3. They went on to lose the next 2 games. Go figure.

Seems like the wheels are starting to fall off this team.  Possibly will be losses in 4 of last 5 with some tough games coming up. Better fix this now.

Wow just got home from work and i don't think i will watch but i can't send you a link so you can if you want so you can watch.

Thanks for the offer but I am on kid duty tonight anyhow and about to take them outside to burn some fuel. Maybe next time when I am free and the Flyers decide to show up for the start of the game!
