The State of the Flyers: Where does Philadelphia go from here?
Ryan Gilbert and Jacob Russell discuss the state of the Philadelphia Flyers after another lackluster effort. What can Danny Briere and Keith Jones do the rest of the season? Are the Flyers stuck in purgatory?
we were blind, Management never really expected to make the playoffs; that became clear when we saw Danny let the ship sink with ersson. The signs that Ersson needed to be replace were there long before the vladar's injury. I'm so angry with this team, i don't know if i will continue to follow them after the break…
Danny probably needs to shake things up…they have to get better in the middle of the ice. Couts is getting 1st line minutes and should be a 4th line center. They should trade from strength and that is their forward group. Anyone should be available to get a good center or two. Think of all the forwards when Martone gets here…..Martone, Michkov, TK, Tippett, Barkey, Brink, Zegras, Cates, Foerster, Bump, Luchanko, Grebenken — that's 12 forwards and I'm leaving off Dvorak because he can play center. You could trade 3 or 4 of them and still have reasonable forward depth. They need to get a 1C and 2C and Dvorak and Couts could be your 3rd and 4th line centers. Don't trade a 1st round pick…throw in Risto or one of their prospects like Nesbitt, Bergland or one of their second round picks from last year.

The less physical defense in the NHL and undersize everywhere
At Vegas Sam Ersson save the game in the first period
Buffalo win with their top 4 on defense, big mobile physical defensemen
No 1C, 2C, 1D, 2D, PP QB in the pipeline this deep into the rebuild. It's a fraud.

Who cares? Its just repeated failure every year. I hope they sell the team to a different city at this point.

No scouting poor drafting always in the middle of mediocrity
Power play STILL sucks….3 season streak.
