Speak of the devil, Giroux opens the scoring against the Avs.

1-0, Flyers

JFC

They not only allow the tying goal, they give up the lead in short order.

 2-1, Avs

Just falling apart fast, and now Giroux is in the box after they give up the 3rd goal.  

Now THAT PP leads to *another* Avs goal

4-1, Avs

Wow, they are actually battling back!

2 goals scored as quickly as they gave them up, with G sending in a beautiful PP one-timer to bring them within 1.

4-3, Avs

Who’s playing in goal?  Jalen Reachor?

At least it hasn’t bounced off of his goalie mask and gone in yet

Atkinson makes it a 1-goal game again!

5-4, Avs.  Lots of time left in the 3rd.

Sounds like a fun game to watch.  But so is NE v BUF in 60 MPH winds. 

It's the Philly way to try and get 1-2 more years of a playoff/championship window instead of seeing the writing on the wall and rebuilding.  Piss poor ownership and GMs all across the board.  Hextall was a good GM, but he should have fired Hakstol instead of clinging to him.  Also needed to get the young players into the mix sooner than he did.  But he was good at evaluating talent and building a team.  Flyers are probably the most trigger happy of all the Philly sports franchises.  They cast off players, coaches, and GMs before their time more often than not.  How many Flyers players have gone on to better things? 

Between Comcast owning the team and trying to turn Flyers home games into Justin Beirber concerts it's not easy to keep the faith with this team. 

 

They’re sucking hard.  Eighth Flyers team over to go 10 winless in a row.

The Flyers are headed to the bottom.  Only 3 teams in the NHL with a worse goal differential.  

Bad players, bad coach just hired to replace decent coach who got fired, horrid GM -- Chip Kelly-bad GM, who made only terrible moves in the offseason.

Until the GM gets fired there is nowhere to go but down.  

 

The update to the thread title -- 

I admit, I am not that much of a fan as you all, but, it still stinks to see a Philly sports team struggle like this.

I wish we could add a photo of the dog shitting on the logo. 

Just got the game on in time to see the Flyers work for their second goal and take the lead.

Looking good so far but, as always, it’s a matter of them keeping/expanding on that lead and actually winning the game.

Looking good in the 3rd.  Up 2 goals after JVR nets his first goal in 11 games and puts them up 4-2

 

Wow, the Flyers actually won one, too bad they have no chance at a playoff spot because of their annual 10 game losing streak.

I actually heard on the radio that the last two times the Flyers had a 10 game losing streak.......they made the playoffs.

When they had a 10 game winning streak (2019?), they didn't make the playoffs.

Too lazy to look that up to verify it.

That actually sounds correct.  I remember that 10-game win streak and the epic collapse that followed.

Welp. Now I gotta try to get refund for tickets. 

Two game winning streak and some winnable games coming up.

So about to make it 3 wins in a row as they are leading the Devils 6-1 with Atkinson bagging a hat trick.  This win jump them over the Devils into 6th in the division.  Can they keep scratching and climbing towards 4th?

 

Looking much better under Yeoh right now.  The season is still salvageable, but it’s gonna take consistency - something we haven’t seen in years.

No fans in Montreal tonight, time to move all teams out of cities that won't let fans in again, this is ridiculous, proof of vaccination should be required and that is it. There will never be a time that in the winter cases do not spike, can't do this forever. Treating the vaxxed and unvaxxed the same just gives the anti vaxxers ammo to say say see vaccines don't work.

It’s amazing the amount of game summaries I see in the NHL where there are no penalties called in the 3rd period 

If the officiating wasn’t so horrible I would try to do a deeper analysis to find causes — but it’s likely they’ve just been told to put the whistles in their pockets.

Looks like the big Flyer fans in here have joined the rest of us.

Anyway, if you want to watch some fun hockey check out the Juniors.  They start today and are up in Canada.  The US is the defending champ and are the #1 seed.

Are they ever going to play again?
