mojo1917 Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Embarrassing loss. The latest in an embarrassing season. I'm sure most of these guys would like to pull a Farrabee and Konecny for the rest of the season. Turned it on @ 5-1. Lucky that final wasn't 13 -2. I am curious as to who from the team will say what after that mess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyer4ever Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 They're just a player or two away from making the playoffs, where anything can happen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howie58 Posted April 13, 2022 Author Share Posted April 13, 2022 (edited) I listened to the second while driving home and watched the third. The SiriusXM feed was from the Caps. They were amazed at how much time and space the O and B were giving the Caps and laughing at the poor play. They felt badly for Jones. Our fights and frustration in the third seemed like temper tantrums from six-year old's. What a bleepshow. AV must be laughing.

So was he hurt before the game or are you saying he got hurt before the game?? Just got home and missed it...wish sounds like a blessing. I think they have used up all 4 of their recalls so they can only call up someone if there is an injury. I really wanted to see Sandstrom play a Lion's share of these games to end the season but i get it they are trying to get in the playoffs in the AHL. Oh well they would just ruin him more likely but i thought he played damn good in his only game this season vs San Jose. Maybe next year that is IF they offer him a contract....

flyercanuck Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Why wouldn't you give this guy a 7 year $7 million contract and build a team around him? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyercanuck Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 So this is what rock bottom feels like. The funny thing is, how in the world have THREE GMs managed to build worse teams than Fletchers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoachX Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Last time I watched a game was before the AS break. I tuned in last night to see a different lineup produce the same result. Luckily, i had this recorded so I just FFWD through most of it I miss Voracek 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GratefulFlyers Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 The Sheary goal sums up the night perfectly. The Flyers were out of position to the extreme all game, they seemed to have no awareness of what was happening on the ice. Oshie's goal was another one. No goalie has a chance of stopping that one when Oshie is allowed to camp out beside the post. One pass and it's a tap-in. Caps scored 9 and every one of them was a the result of the Flyers making just brain-dead mistakes on D. Hart left after the 1st, LBI. I don't think Atkinson played after Wilson tagged him along the boards - didn't look like much but I guess Atkinson is questionable for tonight. I can see another pasting coming vs. the Rangers... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoachX Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 The Flyers are just a beaten team. I would guess each player is functioning individually, focusing on their own game. They know their fate is sealed and everyone is waiting for this season to end. Since they are playing like its over, I will go back to participating like its over (not watching). Deep admiration for all of you who are passionate enough to stick it out and offer perspectives on what is happening. In my mind, doing this would be a effective as offering health advice to a corpse. Im holding out that the ax falls and Fletcher and Yeo bare the brunt of responsibility. But more than likely they will be given a pass, with the blame being shifted to injuries. If I was presently in a more suitable circumstance, I would raise a glass and toast to the end of the season, with no injuries to those left standing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't seen a Flyers game since Jan.... I'm interested in seeing how Hayes is carrying himself these days.... SO..... I go to turn on the game on Hulu and realize it's on NHL network or "regular" ESPN.... or something I don't get. Great! The ONE game I wanna watch (Brink debut), is not streaming on any of the MILLION services I pay for....... THANK YOU HOCKEY GODS. I was spared. Time to follow G and the panthers!! Seriously? 9 goals? That play where the caps dude was sitting in front...... Yeah,...... I'm seriously at a loss for words here. My nightmare is coming true.... Hart will be ruined. Welcome to the NHL Brink......

GratefulFlyers Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Up until last night the Flyers were playing entertaining, uptempo and (believe it or not) structured hockey. It was clear as day. Since the culture changed at the TD, "the room" got a dose of sunlight and fresh air, the younger guys brought in new energy and excitement. It rubbed off on most (not all) of the veterans. Yeo adjusted the D pairs - Provorov / York helped both guys and especially Provorov. Last night going up against a heavy, desperate-for-points team it all came crashing down. For whatever reason... maybe one too many rookies, maybe Hart should've spoken up before the game. In any case it was a lot to ask, playing that many new guys all at once. York, Attard, Frost, Cates, Tippett plus Brink...Hart hurt from the beginning...who knows what else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching that video of Hayes skate away from Sheary and leaving him all alone in front of the net with noone even close...you expect that from all those rookies you mentioned, not an 8 year NHL vet making 7 million a year. Then you see #13 and it all makes sense. Rangers couldn't get rid of his sorry azz fast enough. Winnipeg got rid of him even faster.

flyer4ever Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 There are many poster boys that represent Chucks reign of terror in Flyerdom. Hayes is front and center.And there's not a freaking chance in hell JVR has ever been awake at 4am. He's way too lazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
