Pull the goalie!

Who??

The more things change, the more they stay the &*(^%@% same.

Meanwhile, Sean Walker will win a Cup, because he's an ex-Flyer (Yes, he's on a damn good team now, too.).

They're making Slavkovsky look like the second coming of Jaromir Jagr. Hat trick.

Nobody near that little ball of hate Gallagher, to prevent him from getting to the front of the net for the tip. 3-0. This team is toast..burnt, moldy toast.

I'm praying they can talk him into retirement.

Suzuki with a heck of a cross ice pass to Slafkovsky. It was only a matter of time, with the way things are going and the fact that the Flyers cannot finish and bury any of their 16 shots.

I'll say it again. This team needs a finisher. It's great they get so many shots per game...they have to bury them.

There were rumors that Toronto and Vancouver would give up a first rounder for Risto at this past trade deadline..(not a bad haul, ehh?) , but the Flyers would have to retain 25% of his salary. Here we go again, with that retaining salary crap, because they overpay for players.

I have ZERO confidence in the Flyers being able to win tonight, which they must do if they have playoff aspirations. Man, how things can change in a month.

I don't love the years on the Seeler deal, but that's far from the biggest issue the Flyers have, regardless of whether they head to the golf course in April or May.

Keepers Couturier Tippett Foerster Farabee Brink Seeler Drysdale Poehling Hathaway Sanheim Ersson (maybe)..though I'm going to look for a starter this off-season. If I can get a boatload for players like TK or Risto, I'd do it. Talk Atkinson into retirement. I hope Briere can find a way to address their cap situation. I'm tired of having no money available to improve the team, significantly. Damn..it would have been nice to see Michkov in Orange and Black, next season.

They're not just soft, though at times I think they have been that. They're tired, not that collectively talented in all honesty, and the young players are getting their feet wet. They are finding out what it takes to win hockey games down the playoff stretch run.

Whatever pushes Holmgren, Clarke and Co. further and further away from having ANYTHING to do with any involvement in the running of the franchise..I am a fan of. They are still, though much less involved, lingering like a sewer system odor, somewhere near the franchise. (Yes, I'm a bit of a cynic.)

I disagree. JVR was and is, a statue on skates. Farabee can be a very good player. He just lacks awareness and effort, at times.

Yeah, it's disgusting stupidity, on the part of prior failed management. The only ways out of it, that I see..are 1) trading him, or packaging him, for a player of close to equal value, who is probably overpaid (Zegras?) or 2) Briere talking Couturier into retirement.

They're burning out. The veterans in the room are getting tired themselves and aren't good enough, and don't have "another level" necessarily to get to. Many of the younger players haven't experienced an end of the season push, or an NHL playoff run. I give Torts a lot of credit, because I didn't think at the start of the season, that he would do so well with a young team. That being said, questioning your team's stones in public, might not have been the best way to deal with it. When you're 3-5-2 down the stretch, though, I guess it's time to try anything. They have 100% played better than anyone, especially the so-called experts, expected.

VandeVelde makes Ryan Poehling look like the second coming of Mario Lemieux.

These guys are playing sluggish and whooped. They're toast. It would have been nice to have added a couple of impact players at the deadline, especially ones with some offensive skills. The last GM and those above him at the time, buried this team with awful decision making, and Briere couldn't do much..BUT I wish he had done a bit more at the deadline. Tortorella has gotten as much out of them, as he can. They just don't have enough of anything, especially consistent talent. They'll be on the golf course by the end of the first round of the playoffs, if they make it that far. 2-5-3 in their last 10.

Inexcusable to lose this game, especially the way they did, to that team. Here come the "Is Tortorella losing the room" comments. The team isn't good enough, and it is showing more and more. Not good heading toward the playoffs. This might very well describe the Flyers right now, in picture form.

It would have been different, for sure. They weren't winning Game 7, in Boston Garden.

The end of the second period of this game, would be a great time for our PP% clicking at 12%, to wake up and get one. As I speak, TK scores! 1-0, Flyguys!

The first ten minutes of the game...without a shot. Not good. Shuffle the forward lines, Torts.

Congrats to Wayne! It might be cliche but he truly worked hard every game.... and played good, skilled, physical hockey, in all three zones.
