ParticipantBriere said the team overachieved up until January 6 and underachieved since then. He believes the reality is somewhere in between.
The reality is closer to the .600 team before January 6. They have to move away from Errson and his league worst save percentage. At least this year, it’s one awful goalie instead of three. They need another guy there. They also need another top 4 Dman.

ParticipantHard to believe they won tonight. Vladar is team MVP. When he’s not on top of his game they have no chance.
Top off season priority clearly is finding another goalie. Vladar has a .650 win pct. Ersson’s is .456.

ParticipantThey need to learn how to play from the Christmas break to the Trade Deadline… that’s the time period everything goes off the rails and sinks the season every year, and this season was no different.
Last three season? Yup. This year is inexcusable though. They didn’t dump (Frost/Farabee was a dump), have the league suspend or trade players.

Participantwhat are the flyers current winning % in the conf? you were strutting your feathers around for a month. Now that reality has set in not so much.
you like flyers management are dumb as a stump.
Hahahaa! Because, unlike you, when a sports team goes bad, I find other things to focus on. I’m still shocked by the reality of their recent 2-8-2 stretch. Injuries triggered it, but they weren’t significant enough to excuse this collapse.

Participantpost the flyers winning % as haven’t seen you do that lately. what place they in.
They’re 2.5 games out of a playoff spot with 1/3 of the season left. 2-3-2 in their last 7. That’s not going to be good enough to make up ground. They need to play better than their first half .600 hockey to make the playoffs. Not seeing any signs that’s going to happen. Third year in a row now the Flyers have had a significant collapse later in the season. First two, they lost key guys to suspension or trade. Don’t have that excuse this year.
They still played .600 hockey, 7-4-4, after Foerster went down. It was after the Anaheim game where Drysdale and Brink got knocked out of action after dirty hits when the team fell apart. They’ve been 2-8-2 since. Vladar got hurt during that stretch. Did not help. Team needs to get bigger, tougher, meaner as well as better.
I already did. What part needs to be spoon fed to you?

Participantbig yawn. nothing but excuses. the team was never that good. losing middling depth players doomed them lol.
you and the flyers management think the same hence why they will conitnue to suck for the next 5 years minimum.
no the team needs to add skill before all else. bigger tougher and meaner will get them where exactly?
If the team is so unskilled, how did they play .600 hockey for half the season? No excuses. I said when they were going good only injuries would knock then out of the playoffs but the injuries they sustained shouldn’t have been enough to do that. They had them but they were spread around and only lasted long enough to get them into a season destroying slump. Good teams overcome adversity better than the Flyers have.

Participantif you can’t overcome the loss of the Forest then you were never good to begin with.

Participant“Caps are somewhat reeling as well. Flyers very much still in the playoff mix. The other EC just as inconsistent as the flyers. Many underperforming.”

ParticipantWell, S 58 E 50 went well. On to S 58 E 51 Monday. It’s a long running soap opera.

ParticipantFlyers are below .500 over their last 10 games for the first time this season. Injuries that shouldn’t have derailed the team are. Tonight it’s a battle for 7th in the conference. Things change fast.
