Very disappointed right now, we can't even keep it in their zone for more than 30 seconds. + the turnovers are insaneee.

Zzz.

Here's my take on SOME of our problems. I will have time to elaborate later on...

on why we have a bad defense, what makes it bad

We are probably the worst team to clear the zone. Its either icing or complete failure and the other team keep pressuring.
Our D usually help the other team to forecheck by placing the pucks in zones where we have nobody and they can retrieve the puck pretty easy.
We're not quick enough on rebound.
We don't have a hard shot from the point. From nobody.
I think we couldnt use another Right-Handed d-man.

Some players have "talent" but play with no heart. Read, Lecavalier, Umberger, Couturier sometimes, Brayden Schenn sometimes.
We don't have a "spark" player on the team. Outside of Giroux and Voracek, noone can come in and make a play or just with pure speed make something happen. I feel like Laughton is the only one that can provide that. I think that Simmonds could do that but I don't think he's comfortable playing for Berube...

Berube HAS to do something with our 2nd wave PP. Litterally mix something up.

Not a bad assement. My problem with the team is we don't have consistent puck moving defenseman and need more speed and size on the wings. It would also help if Laughton, schenn, or coots could fill those 2/3 center positions more consistently on the offensive end.

the D is just playing with zero confidence
they doubt themselves to make the 1st pass if its not perfect they wait and wait to long they hardly pinch anymore which results in less offensive zone time
their "d" is basically backing off until they shoot then get beat to the rebound there playing way to fuckin passive

there hardly even making the other teams forwards "pay the price" for going to the net either there so fuckin soft its disgusting

as foir the forwards umburger for hartsy was a horrible fuckin trade even a bad hartsy was better then this >< and he made our pp deadly
i think vinny plays with heart hes not the fastest but you always see him go for the puck as fast as he can and if he gets beat he throws a hit or something and he showing hes still got skill

so i fell asleep before the game no biggie just another loss
we outshot the sharks and sounds like it was a good game hopefully we bring the same tm vs the ducks and get a win
but then again at this point that hanafin guy wouldnt be all that bad to our already pretty good looking d prospects

Lecavalier not happy in philly

Said laviolette was the main reason why he even came to philly in the first place

lavi is a good coach sucks he lost his effect in philly
honestly though i feel philly is losing its attractinog for free agents they mishandle so many players
bob gust now vinny ... hell even gagne left on kinda bad terms richards and carter too... there burning lots of bridges

Completely stupid to take on an aging player because of the coach you have and then get rid of the coach 3 games into the season.

If you had plans on firing Lavy to begin with they should never have signed Vinny. Another reason why Holmgren is adios...but not to much faith with Hextall and his Umberger move LOL
