    Whoah - time to start FADING the FLYERS while Pronger is out?

    Boys I am as shocked by what I am seeing as you are. I watch every game. They have been AWFUL and I mean AWFUL without him.

    5-1 in Montreal? REALLY? Sure Montreal is probably a 7 seed or so when all is said and done and it was on the road but 5-1?

    Then last night? 9-8 to Winnipeg in a game that more resembled an All Star game as far as the defense was concerned than anything. ******* pathetic. Sure they fought back from 6-2 down to take a 7-6 lead then coughed it right up like Gold's Mother on Prom night. The main thing here is IT WAS WINNIPEG IN OUR HOUSE.

    Very upset about this fellas. I HATE betting against my teams especially Philly.

    There might be some very serious value in it though.

    I hear you but it's ******* Winnipeg. ******* WINNIPEG. If I were at that game I probably would've murdered someone.

    Over is a good thought I agree Glitch. The goalies aren't playing that bad. They are just getting hung out to dry like Gold's Mother's freshly washed panties.

    Fade them small until they win. All the new faces is starting to catch up to em, chemistry wise.

    And karma of course...Pronger running richards out of town...Holmgren running Richards and Carter out of town...after they were just in the Stanley Cup Finals 2 seasons ago....

    Whats is scarier, a team that can score 9 and almost lose? or a team that can allow 9 and almost win?

    Ive seen this type of game last season against the Lightning, in Philly I believe. The Flyers get lost without a leader, and the two A's didnt step up until it was too late.

    And to add to this mess, Laviolette is always changing the lines not allowing this new young team to build chemistry. For example why have we not seen Harry Z back in the lineup? He played one game and had a SICK goal....Why the F is Rinaldo in the lineup? He is just another carcillo who does NOT help the team win.

    John Stevens firing is coming back to haunt them...

    Another thing why did the Flyers rush Schenn into the lineup? They should have developed him in the AHL like they did with Giroux. Instead they rushed him into the NHL, and now has a broken foot and is out for 4-6 weeks. Another DUMB move by the GM. I guess they had to hype the whole Schenn vs Schenn the night they played the Leafs. To sell tickets...

    I could go on for hours about the mistakes this team has made the last 3 seasons.

    This team right now reminds me of the year the Flyers got Forsberg. Foppa had all the points, the team ended in last place....Jagr is the new Forsberg, with a very young team with no chemistry.

    AND Brierre back at winger after what did he do when he was put back at Center? Oh, that's right, only refind is all star form he had with Buffalo.

    Not happy AT ALL with Lavvy or Holmgren Puckie. AT ALL.

    175...after that performance last night by the Flyers, I have a newfound respect for your hockey knowledge and capping skills. When you announced that you wouldn't have any plays and you were treading lightly on the Flyers wihtout Pronger, I thought you were overreacting. However, after these past two performances (especially last night), I can say that A) You know what you're talking about and B) The Flyers are soft as marshmallows.

    I know it's early in the season, but this might be something that plagues them all season. They have a young and explosive offense and made the biggest FA signing in recent years to solidify between the pipes....but this is not good.

    Panic is close to setting in in Boston...Philly might not be far behind to be honest with you.

    For the record, take a hard look at Boston's next game. Julien ripped them a new asshole behind closed doors AND in the media. I think we'll see some fire from the offense next time they hit the ice.

    It's only a few games in but Lavvy is not on my Christmas Card list so far. Shit had better get much ******* better real ******* quick. Pronger is important I know but it shouldn't be this bad without him.

    hard to bet against a team with that kinda offensive firepower but i completely agree with them hangin their goalie out to dry since pronger went out.

    calgary looked very good their last game.

    Heard commentator said they are a .500 team without Pronger in the lineup.
