Some people need to take the step away from the ledge

Worst stretch of the season, sure they are 3-6-3 in their last, but come one now. Even when they are playing like shit they get points.

This is a good team going through a bad mid season stretch. The 2022 team did the same
So much cope going on. The '22 team absolutely did not look like a f***ing lottery team for nearly a month like this one has. Come on now.
 
LMFAOOOO we saw this team give up 20 shots or less a game for like 1 week and we thought they were hot shit lol.

They're f***ing frauds for that.

"for like one week"

wasnt it like 6 straight games? Which tied an NHL record?

the "takes" are flowing, folks!
 
Im running these lines tomorrow:

Halonen-Jack-Bratt
Timo-Nico-Nose
Palat-Mercer-Tatar
Cotter-Lazar-Bastian

Halonen can do the dirty work and be a trigger man on L1, L2 remains unchanged, L3 gets better defensively, and L4 gets an individual play driver to take advantage of matchups.

And I'm running away
 
For all the people that think it’s stupid to suggest we could miss the playoffs, at what point does saying that not become stupid? What is the threshold?

If you’re gonna call that stupid then I expect a counter answer on this.

Tell me. At what point does it become not to stupid to wonder if we’re headed for a complete tailspin?

If we get 1-3 points in these next 4 (including today) is it still stupid?

It's stupid. The Devils would have to play like this for the rest of the season. I do not believe they will be doing that.

Off the top of my head I can't honestly remember a game they really outplayed the opposition during this last 10 game stretch. They couldn't do it against the Ducks or the Sharks either. This stretch is actually showing how weak their bottom 6 is and how mediocre they are 5 on 5. The special teams and Markstrom carried them for a while.

i think it was 7 and it set an nhl record. they have it in them and it wasn’t a fluke. but it’s no guarantee they get back to that. i expected them to have figured it out by now so im not gonna lie i am concerned

That’s exactly as long as the road trip which was also ‘only six games’, can’t have it both ways and have it be only six games when it’s a negative

the point was "for like a week". Facts matter.

They were really good during that streak. They were not good on the road trip. Both of these things are okay, and expect over the course of a long season.
 
my Flyer fan buddy's message after that mess:

I'm giving it another 10 games of poor play before I start dooming. I have a long leash.
If we have another 10 game with a record like our last 10 then we’re probably battling with several teams.

We’re 2-5-3 in our last 10. With 3 regulation losses to Anaheim, San Jose and Philly. All trash teams.

If we go 2-5-3 in our next 10 games that’s on pace for 88 points.

We have quite a few shitty humpty and bubble teams to feast on before playing Vegas. It’s nothing but meh teams until then. But for us that means a bunch of underwhelming losses.
 
Fair but some of our lead is also cause we’ve still played more games than everyone else

Still T4 by points percentage in the east, one for 4 teams with double digit goal differentials.Look at the goal differentials for the rest of the East - we should not be concerned about losing a playoff spot as of today.

Yesterday I would have been with you. In fact, that was my exact thinking... but this going on for almost a month now....and it's not just that....

It's a real lack of compete and attention to detail. It's starting to feel a little more systemic than rut.
