Things have gotten so hopeless for the Philadelphia Flyers who are basically out of the playoff picture the first week in November, that newbie coach John Stevens treated them like pee-wee hockey players earlier this week. He drove to the local home depot to and bought plywood. He than put the wood at the bottom half of the net for the next practice. Point being, his team is rattling a lot of shots off and not scoring. Their shots are basically lame and easily stopped by even the most average goalie. Most of them are on the ice, not in the air.
The team is desperate to get out of the mental funk. Everyone in the hockey world refers to them as "fragile". Meaning basically one thing goes wrong, and you might as well turn the lights off and chalk up another L.
Honestly, it everytime I think this team has hit rock bottom, they go farther into the depths of hell. I mean even Gagne and Forsberg are not above being blamed. Gags has 10 pts in 14 games and "Peter The Great" Has 9 in 13. But the #1 reason I think this team sucks, is the younger players who were expected to score are not. Mike Richards zero goals and 3 assists in 14 games. Umberger has just 3 goals in 13 games and helpers. Carter 4pts (only 1 goal) in 14 games. Awful. Add in the dreadful Kyle Caldar who has just two assists, and leads the league in dumb plays.
The board ploy didn't work. The awful Isles blanked Philly in Philly no less. Awful. The season is over and look for them to deal Gagne, Umberger, or Escehe by the end of the week.
