Time to get this shit going, good or bad!
No word on who gets the opener but I'm thinking Mason.

Really? I think without question it's Emery. Should be entertaining. The Leafs like to drop the gloves.

will be interesting to see if this team was sleeping through preseason or what you see is what you get with this club. I think Emery gets the start, but IMO I would give it to Mason to build confidence and show he can be the #1 guy here.

I have no clue what to expect this year. I have plenty of Advil on hand just in case.
This is first season without center ice package. I've got gamecenter live this year. Hopefully I'll get to watch Philly announcers.

Well, Mason gets the start. Good call Tags. Really thought it would be Emery. I thought that Emery had the best chance because he played behind of what seemed to be a full NHL roster but still didn't look great. Mason wasn't spectacular either but he played behind a mostly tryout lineup IMO

Watched the game last night. This team is mediocre at best. Can't finish their chances, lacks physical play, defense constantly breaks down and turns the puck over in their own end. Yep same old Flyers. Luke Schenn is trash, wish we would have kept JVR and gave him a chance.

Both Homer and Lavy need to be shown the door and hopefully will in due time. Hexy is a far better prospect at GM than Homer will ever be. At least he helped bring a SC to LA while Homer continues to overpay through the nose for mediocre talent. Lavy's team looks uninspired out there. He's had his time, I'm ready for him to go now.

I take full responsibility for the loss. No sooner did I tune in and they shit the bed. Came out like gangbusters in the 1st and in typical fashion, couldn't convert. I am not trashing the goaltending but man, did Bernier look good last night. I love the postgame show making excuses on how Philly hasn't seen Bernier since he was out west. WHAT! Excuse me but your new Asst GM knows him quite well. Don't blow that smoke up our asses! FWIW, Vegas odds for Lavy being the first NHL coach fired are 2-1 odds right now.

I agree that Lavi is on the hot seat......my concerns however, are that Terry F'ing Murray is taking over if he's gone. Do. Not. Want. ZERO playoff series wins since 1997.
If Lavi goes Homer likely goes too. Although maybe at the end of the year.
The team will finish their chances....they had a bit of bad luck last night but some of those should be converted.
Mason looked good & it was hard to fault any of the goals on him. L Schenn & Streit shouldn't be paired together.

I must have been watching a different game cause I wouldn't say they looked uninspired at all for a change they had many chances bernier came up big several times esp early .. its only one fukking game jeez
cant blame the refs had our chances on the power play they didn't go in if not for some stupid passes and not keeping it simple they may have gotten a couple more instead of 1 t still think a lot of our guys aren't as good as our organization thinks they are. and the stupid ass drop passes are killing them .. also need a different winger on lacavliers line than reed imo
don't think lavi is a bad coach but his system doesn't work with this group of players and he refuses to change it .. they don't have talented enough forwards to pull it off theres way too much pressure on the defense and goalie
jvr LOL ill take schenn any day over him

Instead I'll use the term lacking of a killer instinct and lacking a sense of urgency. TO played the second night of a back to back and they didn't seem to try to put them away early when they had the opportunities. They were trying to get too cute on the PP all night. I agree totally with your assessment of Lavy. He is a good coach, but like you said, his system isn't working. The players aren't responding to it and he won't adjust and that to me is going to be grounds for his dismissal. That and he's been here for a few years, that's enough time to get it done or not. I'm kind of getting tired of every year watching the same thing. We're good enough to make the playoffs most of the time, but not good enough to win the SC. At some point you have to say playoffs aren't good enough, you need to take the next step up. After year one of Lavy, this team has slowly regressed. All the while we watched two franchise players get traded and went on to win the SC in their first year away. On top of that our prized FA goalie shit to bed here. Not good. If Lavy goes, I want Homer right behind him, I want wholesale changes, no free passes. I don't think the loss was on Mason either. He played well enough to win, D hung him out to dry on both goals. L. Schenn is a TO machine and that drives me nuts. That giveaway on that second goal was atrocious. You can't do that in your own end. I think Mason and Emery can get it done behind the net. I think a coach that preaches better defensive play could take this team far. If they had the Devils coach coaching them, they'd win the cup.
