I love it when Sam and Joe talk every game about Glass making the fourth line effective with his 4 hits...LOL
Has there been a game that this asswipe Simmonds has not scored on the Rangers on PP. All the goals are always the same around the net. No one ever lays a finger on him.
PK is simply awful. I know our O is terrible, but the thing that tells me we are really in trouble is how awful our PK is. We have one SH goal, and allow a PPG every single game now. That PPG for Philly there was pathetic. And that is on the heels of our PP being a disgrace on their last PP chance. Getting close to tuning out. For me that Isles loss was a huge crusher. We'll see how they finish today, but tired of watching a team that doesn't score.
McD turns and sees Simmonds parked right there and leaves him for absolutely no reason. I don't blame Lundy for being upset with nonsense like that.
And I'll tell you something else...I am MOTHER F'ING FED UP WITH THIS TEAM REFUSING TO F'ING SHOOT...FED UP. Time and time again this team passes up good chances to make a low % pass. Pisses me off.
This team lacks heart and grit. Scared to go into board battles. Scared to get hit. Not willing to take a hit to make a play. Not willing to get in front of the goalie and screen him because they may get hit. Bunch of overpaid stiffs that we're stuck with for several more years because of big money and/or NTC. Gonna be a long few years boys. Hope we can find some diamonds in the rough with these later picks.
And when they do shoot they miss the net and it leads to breaks by the other team. Simmonds right there, and idiot Kreider missing the net leading to the Flyers 1st goal.
Hank is usually quiet. Him reacting like that tells you he's beyond frustrated with the team in front of him.
With all that said...the Flyers have two goals...one on the PP. It is the O not the D. It is always the O.
This is a team that Boyle needed to be scratched for and McIlrath needed to be in. Philly is too physical for Boyle. Play Boyle against the finesse teams, not physical ones.
We scored two goals. The defense fucked up, as usual, on the PP. Its honestly a combination of both. Offensively we can't finish. But defensively we fold under good forechecking pressure. All around, this team has been AWFUL this year.
So why isn't AV reacting to this bullshit? He just chews his gum!!!! Where is the intensity???????????
