Flyers - LOL

Forty years and counting since Lord Stanley's Cup has been raised.

I am definitely not Flyered Up.

I am most certainly not Flyered Up.
 
Players only meeting after Game 2.

Might be time for yet another new GM and coach.

Mister Snider must be beside himself. Yet another slow start for this pathetic organ-eye-za-tion.
 
Hex and Hax. You can't stop it, you can barely contain it.
 
does N94 think he is being funny saying "organeyezation" in every hockey post he makes?
 
Bump.

Losing streak up to five games with no end in sight.

Flyers fans are insufferable as ever.

Mister Snider must be seething. Might be time for yet another coaching change.
 
Voracek and Raffl have about 85 shots between them with zero goals. That leaves the first line with 4 goals (all Giroux) in 12 games. That's embarrassing. Defense looks slow and terrible. Neuvirth was incredible last night - Mason would have let in 6 goals with that kind of pressure. Should be tons of fun chasing the 8 seed all year.
 
Have they given up yet or do Flyers fans still yell "Shoot!!!" every time the puck is passed during PP?
 
in Voracek's last ~60 games or so, he has 2 (TWO) even strength goals. thats outrageous.
 
Flyers were not expected to be a playoff team this year. Not sure why anyone is surprised by their play. They have about 2-3 guys who can out the puck into the net, a below mediocre defense, and a streaky goalie. This is about where they were expected to be this year.
 
I only watch the Flyers when there is literally nothing else on, so I tuned in last night.

I watched the final 5-6 minutes of the first period then became overwhelmed with boredom and proceeded to fall asleep. I was shocked to find out this morning that they lost yet again.

A few observations:

1) Fly Guys were outshot 19-2 in the first period. How does that happen?
2) They were outshot something like 42-19 for the game. Again, how is that possible?
3) Is there a bigger, more annoying homer than Jim Jackson?
4) Why are there constant references to the so-called "lack of urgency" and "lack of grit" on this team? The postgame interview clichés are absolutely insufferable.
 
I guess? Is it really only a Philly thing for fans to yell shoot on the PP? I've noticed that at any hockey game I have been to.

Yea, it's all we only watch hockey, it's our sport, hockey fans that do this. Weirdos.

And B$ calling others touchy is hilarious. Don't go on Twitter call Ryan Tannehill what he is and not expect a B$ rebuttal.
 
burrs continues his obsession. pulling things no one is even discussing out of the woodwork to bring me into it. sad.

A lack of urgency is absolutely synonymous with the sport of hockey and pro basketball for the next 5 or 6 months. Regular season is pretty meaningless. Either:

1. you're a decent or good team and you won't play a game that really matters for 5 or 6 months when the playoffs start or
2. you stink and nothing's expected of you, you go through the motions.

Arguably a team like the Flyers should have some sense of urgency to prove they belong in 1 and not 2, but clearly that's not happening this year.
 
JC has Hackstol already lost this team? They came out great in the first few games. Fast, two guys on the puck and out skating/hustling every team. Where's the energy level gone 10 games into the season?

No obsession. You refer to Philly fans as being touchy. I'm telling you to look in the mirror. It was a relevant comment.
 
Why couldn't "Neuvy" "stand on his head" again last night?

Embarrassed at home by the worst "hockey club" in the Western Conference? At least the lemmings rained down boos to express their disapproval.

I guess it's just a matter of "going out there tomorrow night and showing more grit."

gr8 job "Mister Snider...."
 
for someone that hates hockey, you sure do waste a hell of a lot of time watching it and commenting on it.

I watch it when there is nothing else on.

And I find Flyers fans to be the most annoying in professional sports. So I enjoyed last night's "performance" followed by the usual postgame cliché-laden excuse fest.

"'We're embarrassed. They're probably embarrassed,' Flyers winger Ryan White said when asked about the boos.

The Avalanche, who began the night as the Western Conference's worst team, finished with a 40-25 shots advantage and skated circles around the Flyers."

NC, but people rarely talk about the Flyers on here. Also, diehard, only like hockey fans in every town are all goofy and annoying. Really, it's a strange collection of individuals. So, so protective of their little niche sport. A sport I like because of its competitiveness, but the jersey wearing, yelling shoot on the PECO PP, and using cute nicknames in referring to players do borderline on the bizarre.

I may be reacting to the fact that I recently went to a Flyers themed wedding. I shit you not.

I also don't understand the jargon. The goalie "stood on his head." WTF does that mean??

Also, why is every goal celebrated like the team just won the title? It's one freaking goal.

Ha ha ha ha. Please, provide more details on the Flyers' themed wedding. Please, please, please......The popcorn is in the microwave.

Because goals don't happen as much as they did back in the day. More, better defense being played, complexed defensive systems, goalies are bigger & more athletic, their equipment is outrageous. At least this is my perception.
