Howie58 1,945 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Greetings: We hit the halfway mark with a battle of the incompetent. I have not seen opening odds. Even the bookies have a tough time figuring this one out. The records over the last 10 are quite similar. https://www.espn.com/nhl/preview?gameId=401349856 Sounding like a broken record, the O and B need to score first. By my reckoning, we are 2-18-2 after giving up the first goal. That stat speaks volumes. Let's TRY Flyers? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They seem to keep their warmups for the first period. That said, I wonder if they have the talent to compete. The giveaways and high scoring chances are probably a function of many things...training among them. But the poor power play and high scoring chances to opponents tell me the mess is deeper.

flyercanuck 10,746 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Now here's a team we're built to be competitive with...they've been a bottom feeder for a decade, doesn't look like they're ever going to dig themselves out of this hole. One difference is they sold assets last season....we bought assets. They're 2-6-2 over the last 10, we're 0-7-3. We're due for a win. Should be a close battle. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Am i wrong or is the magic number 42 games when Yandle breaks the record and he can be sat i pray tell?? So if i am right they should be close Yeo gets fired and Yandle benched....no worries for me i am not watching but i hear others complain about him and well since they continue to watch the slaughter i pray for mercy for their eyes so if by removing Yandle does such then good for them. Back to my evening coffee and fending off covid...Rick will be around soon to rub the loss in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mkscrewy 940 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Meltzer on Mondee: The Flyers have placed Wade Allison on IR. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RonJeremy 1,506 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Great news on Farabee, this will ensure us a top five or six pick. Once Giroux is traded then we can really hit rock bottom. Hopefully,Hayes and Coots will be out for the whole season. We have zero chance to make the playoffs so winning a few extra games and dropping out of a lottery position is dumb, so let’s keep losing.

GratefulFlyers 527 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 (edited) So Wade Allison is back. Great. After his last injury he was supposedly going to miss "significant time." He hurt his elbow vs Hartford on Dec 21st. Evidently "significant time" = ~1 month. Great. Great, that is, if you have confidence in the Flyers / Phantoms medical staff...show of hands...anyone? no one? Bueller? edit: he hurt his elbow on Dec. 17th and has played 4 Phatoms games since returning. Edited January 22 by GratefulFlyers date correction Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Howie58 1,945 Posted January 22 Author Share Posted January 22 In typical Flyers fashion, we give up the first goal and in less than two minutes to boot! Can we hold a lead? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GratefulFlyers 527 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Wow how bad is this team defense? Buffalo skaters just waltzing right into the zone, skating down btw the dots - nobody lays a glove on them - and they're firing away at will. This isn't on Jones at all. Just like it won't be on Carter when he takes another loss. Flyers must be colorblind they're seeing yellow no-contact jerseys on all the Sabres today. It's just ... wow is all I can say.

OccamsRazor 13,192 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 (edited) I swear i feel so cheated....how long i have waited for a goalie like this kid...we all have waited... ...and it hurts me to my soul to waste his talents....pains me to crush his soul. Will they waste assets again?? Edited January 22 by OccamsRazor bourbon isn't working 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

OccamsRazor 13,192 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Dear Gawd Frost WTF are you doing why you so damn soft like this??? Man they can't blow this squad up quick enough.......Frost is officially on my trade block...why not?? Are Maple leafs still drunk enough to be interest in Travis Sanheim???? I hope so....someone anyone. Make me an offer...... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mad Dog 1,004 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 What a total wreck this team is. My God... This is the worst Flyers team I have *ever* seen in my lifetime. Thanks Fletch! Nice job assembling this Titanic on skates. Thanks a lot! You own this! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Howie58 1,945 Posted January 22 Author Share Posted January 22 Taryn and the Gang are getting unnerved. Al is right: They fall apart. Taryn just let something slip--after Al said they need Hartnell in front on the PP, she said "or maybe behind the bench." She corrected herself but that was on point. Hartnell wouldn't put up with these wimps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Fletch! Nice job assembling this Titanic on skates. Thanks a lot! You own this! In fairness they are missing their 1C, 2C, top pair D, top six winger... But the contrast with Buffalo is striking as you watch a young team actually playing the game of hockey effectively and in position to tie(!) The Flyers in the standings... It's two teams going in different directions, and the Flyers aren't going the right way. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mad Dog 1,004 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Just now, radoran said: It's two teams going in different directions, and the Flyers aren't going the right way. That's the sad reality. Buffalo is in a traditional rebuilding mode, and they are going about it the right way. They have a future goalie stud in Luukkonen (that kid will be a star in this league), and a good, solid group of young players, like Tuch, Thompson, Cozens, Krebs, Jack Quinn, Asplund, Jokiharju, and Dahlin. Some of them will be phenomenal players. Give this team 2-3 years and time to develop, and with a good coach and patience, the Sabres *can* be scary good. The Flyers' current state is sad and depressing, because there is no direction. I wouldn't mind for them to suck for several years if there was a plan. But there isn't one. Its a disaster. Demolish it, get rid of rubble, grade the site, and start building from scratch. There won't be a better opportunity for than than now. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
