Inside Flyers’ lost weekend to Thrashers

March 21, 2010

THRASHERS 3, FLYERS 1: The Flyers breathed life into the Thrashers’ playoff hopes while threatening their own by losing back-to-back games to the Thrashers by a combined score of 8-3. “I don’t know if we just thought that since it’s the Atlanta Thrashers it was going to be an easy game,” said Flyers captain Mike Richards, who provided the Flyers’ only offense with a third-period goal. “But they came and worked us hard and put more pucks in the net and capitalized on all their chances.” As a result the Flyers are now 5-5-2 since the Olympic break and locked in a three-way tie with Ottawa and Montreal with 79 points, three ahead of the eighth-place Bruins and four ahead of the ninth-place Thrashers, who have won four straight. NOTES, QUOTES --The Flyers’ power play went 0-for-6 against the Thrashers in the weekend losses and has gone three games (0-for-7) in the past three games. --With the win, the Thrashers managed to do something in one season they could not accomplish in nine previous seasons against the Flyers. They beat them four times. The Flyers entered this season with a 29-3-3-1 record against the Thrashers.

Flyers Gameday: Heads or Tails?

March 21, 2010

Well last night was....yeah..let's just forget about last night. Tonight the Flyers see-saw of a season continues as they get a quick rematch against those pesky Atlanta Thrashers. The Thrash, who would be a tough matchup for any team come playoff time, are getting hot at the right moment. It's up to the Flyers to stop playing down to these teams, and start dominating hockey games. If we continute to see this type of play out of a team that was supposed to contend for the East crown, then how likely is it that they can win 4 out of 7 in a playoff series? Alas, this is nothing new, for since 2006, the Flyers have struggled to consistently play to a high level. Maybe as fans we are demanding too much....but I don't think thats it. Watching last nights game, as soo many others have been this year, you don't see that sense of urgency.

If the Flyers want to make up for their 3 losses to the Thrashers this season, now would be the time to do it. With their position in 5th place being anything but a lock at this point, they need to put some wins together. I missed the first half of last night’s

Flyers Gameday: 3-21-10 vs. Atlanta

March 21, 2010

PREVIEW (10:30 AM) The Flyers are lucky that the Eastern Conference is so mediocre. If the conference were as deep as the West, the club would probably wind up missing the playoffs this season. Right now, the Flyers aren't exactly staggering toward the finish line but they are hardly sprinting either. Playing .500 hockey doesn't cut it this time of year. Today, the club gets another crack

If the Flyers won on Thursday then yes they lost last night.

March 21, 2010

Maybe the hardest thing to believe as we play, and lose to, these teams that seem like they've scrapped together players from here and there, and are in their third beta stage before the real release comes in maybe 3 years, is that the Flyers are a team that's been hand crafted, designed to win, and ready for the Cup run at the beginning of every season. And these teams that are in beta deserve to be in 9th place and have their announcers spend half the night talking about how close they are to a playoff spot, because while we took one chance in signing a question mark in Ray Emery, they gobbled them up in the form of Nik Antropov, Maxim Afinogenov, and Rich Peverly - two under-achievers and an incredible waiver wire claim. And yet, we can't beat them. We are the team that needed a tweak here and a Pronger there, and we addressed both. And we can't beat the teams who have no identity because they're just scrapping as a franchise. It's March 21 and by the time our game starts tonight we might be in a 3 way tie for 7th place, only 3 points ahead of 8th. Why's there so much focus on making the playoffs when it only means that you'll have one more week of hockey?
