Losers

 

[BiggE]

The lack of NHL level goaltending is killing this team.

 

[gto64dr]

Zamula reactions are soooooo slow.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

The Flyers forgot how to hockey for the first 5 minutes of the 3rd and that was the difference

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

I hope Kolosov is the real deal.

This patchwork defense is going to cost them a playoff spot, especially with inconsistent to shit goaltending behind them.

 

[scumpup]

another dub for the frost fans! that goal was sick.

 

[PALE PWNR]

Fun game, shame Sandstrom couldn't save a beach ball

 

[trostol]

Frost's getting benched for that lol

 

[Kelmitchell2]

Where is Charlie's bitch ass at now after that frost beauty??

 

[gto64dr]

Frost is coming around! I credit Torts for being tough on him.

Funny cuz I thought he looked good early…absolute derailment from him. Respect

Ersson has to play every game... take the good with the bad. I don't go for this "wear him out" crap...he's 24. Only 1 back to back left, and 3 days off before and 2 after. He'll have bad games...but some good ones too. And Deslaurier looks like Jelly Roll....

godam Metro... get some wins you useless bastards

Hi Torts..

plz retire to the farm

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Sandstrom gave up a couple of shit goals tonight but the players in front of him didn’t give him much help. The Bruins PPG and then letting Bruin players just all alone in front on a couple goals early in the 3rd. Shit defense again.

If they thought he could, he would’ve played this one.

 

[TCTC]

If they thought he could, he would’ve played this one.

He should be able to play most of the games. Teams don't rotate goalies during playoffs, and the rest of the schedule basically is a playoff schedule.

Luckily the Islanders lost tonight. Going to be a close race.

?...what's stopping them? Seriously...Is he hurt? Or are they just doing something that looks like the "right" move? It obviously wasn't a good move. Not great tending.

 

[Tripod]

So...the losses.....looks like they are piling up.

Luckily all the teams chasing them are shiting the bed too.

He got pulled in 2 of his last 3 games. He clearly needed a break.

 

[BernieParent]

This team can't play D but they have more pluck than they should.

 

[Amorgus]

It still doesn't matter whether or not they make the playoffs because there ain't a chance in hell they're getting out of the first round with this roster. It's a miracle Briere didn't piss away more capital for a goalie fix and that may be the best thing he did before the deadline.

Luckily the Islanders lost tonight. Going to be a close race.

His career high GP in a season is 54 last year, split between the AHL (42) and NHL (12).

He's at 40 GP this season. There's no harm being cautious with his ice time. If playoffs are on the radar this season, the failure is from Briere in not addressing the situation and having to rely on Sandstrom or Petersen to play a handful of the remaining games.

 

[Curufinwe]

Fair result. I stopped watching at 5-2.

The lack of defensive cohesiveness is remarkably not sustainable. They are being exposed by their own inefficiencies but also the lack of a stalwart on defense. This is casually reminiscent of Pat Quinn's later teams that reinvented the term scrappy but eventually succumbed to injury and a paucity of skill in their own zone. Unless the system and draft develops, all that awaits are the modern-day equals of trades for Brad McCrimmon, Doug Crossman, Brad Marsh and Mark Howe. Good luck with that.
