Shits a rout. Rangers had so many opportunities early on. Finally capitalizing.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Flyers had 15 shots so far :lol fucking pathetic

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Flyers will continue to be a joke as long as Snider and Holmgren are around. So fucking bad.

And what the fuck is Akeson doing on the ice? Hope he doesn't dress the rest of the series.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Flyers so rattled

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

I told my buddy before that game that Brad Richards would be the MVP of this Rags series.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Akeson will probably be in til Downie is healthy. I think I would rather him than Rosehill

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Doesn't matter anyway. Flyers aren't winning this series. Holmgren has destroyed this team.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

:lol :lol :lol

Flyers fans are so rattled in here.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

The Flyers aren't winning this series simply because the Rangers are better. Pretty simple. No other excuses needed.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

I need to get all my angst out early. I know they still are in this, but damn does their performance smart a little.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Getting excited for the Sharks game today. Hopefully they can take game 1:)

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Great win by the Rangers.

Why is the Avs and Wild game not on my CNBC channel? Anyone else having this problem?

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Now getting ready for the big game tonight! Bottle of wine to ease my nerves.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Nope, it's on for me.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Absolutely, but why are the Rangers better? Probably because our dope of a GM decided to trade away a Vezina winning goaltender, a trio that went on to win a Cup, and a 30-goal scorer.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Another Sharks fan? Where is Erik, he hasn't been in here in awhile. You two could cry together when this series is over.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Bobrovsky trade was dumb only because he was still young and cheap, but I doubt many saw him winning the Vezina at the start of last year. Also, I still believe that getting Simmonds, Vorachek, Schenn, and Couts is a nice haul for Richards and Carter. Its easy to harp on Holmgren when looking back at things, but I do not think having Bobrovsky and Carchards on the team would make the Flyers any better than they are now.

People are fucking idiots.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Bobrovsky instantly makes this team better, as he's considerably better than Mason and Emery.

As far as Richards and Carter, who knows, but when you trade them, plus JVR, plus Sharp in '05, it's pretty indicative of a front office that has no fucking clue what it's doing.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

So dumb.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Power outage at the shark tank.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Sharp had 10 goals in 66 games for the Flyers, not exactly a force at the time. Though to be fair they did get someone way shittier in return. The big thing with all your complaints is that you are using hindsight to argue.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Until the Flyers have a competent defense no goalie instantly makes this defense better unless they are named Jonathan Quick. Also, Mason and Bobrovsky did not have too different of years. 2.50 vs 2.38 GAA, 33 vs 32 wins, .91 vs .923 save percentage. All the first numbers are Masons.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

How do you suggest one evaluates a GM without using hindsight? The job of a GM is to evaluate talent and make roster decisions on that basis while staying within a given budget. Good GMs make moves that help their teams. Bad GMs do not. Holmgren's decisions over the past five years or so prove that he is not a good GM.

Unfortunately, as long as Snider is around, they'll continue to do things "The Flyer Way," which at this point means an incestuous, stagnant organization that signs slow defensemen and talentless goons while keeping just enough skill on the ice to make the playoffs but never win.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Haha yeah big Sharks fan here. I'm thinking it will be a tough series. You guys are def the favorites.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Just horrible.

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread

Re: The NHL 2013-14 Thread
 

Oduya needs to get comfy on the bench. That was awful. Give up the puck, and then just stand there behind the net? WTF dude!?
