See Brock McPherson was offering Fulton a dance on a couple of occasions tonight.
Rawlyk was at it also and this is exactly why we brought Nickerson in but again not playing due to suspension.
Albeit not his fault last night
His presence is needed on the ice without the pantomime stuff, just play hockey and step up as required.

Chaumont is our top point scorer. Reber is fast but doesn't seem to know what to do once he gets near the net. Roehl is one of our best players so far, gives it all every night and is unpredictable which makes him hard to play against. Contois again is fast but always goes through the same motions, he is at the moment to predictable, always does the same thing. As for Todd, how can anyone say he is a bad coach after last year? We will see shortly how good a coach he is by how quickly he rectifies the current on ice problem, whether that is getting the players hungry or replacement of a few. aye but chaumonts here to score goals,he's not scored in three weeks which isn't good enough and it's not like he's putting a hard shift in night in night out to make up for it,his puck control tonight was woeful! Id agree with his touch been woeful and has been for a while. But looking at his stats he has the same goal to assist ratio as last year albeit a lot less games. Edit: And a big difference in his PPG |

Fulton should have stepped aside and let Tommy handle him, he managed it last season. |

Not really that important, we have qualified, better we watch that we don't pick up any injuries or suspensions from hutchins ans his tactics of dirty late hits and stick offences behind the play. As long as we come out of this with a full squad I will be happy Decosta confirmed as out for an extended period, I knew this would happen in a meaningless game. |

The truth is when you get a big batch of new imports across, with the best will in the world, you've no idea what you'll get. On paper this seasons guys should be at least as good as last seasons- perhaps they need a bit more time, perhaps changes are needed, but are people really writing the team off after 5 league games of a 54 game season?
We've got a full quota like we all wanted and nobody was complaining about the calibre of guy we brought over.
It's obvious why the fans are concerned and this is where the coach's need to show their worth- they did a good job last season and I'm happy to give them time to turn it around this year.

Can you honestly see where goals are going to come from? I don't. I was not there tonight, however every game we have struggled. Last season we had Bobby, Jason, Casey, Kris as guys who could find the net. This season? When we had the drought last season Bobby came in and helped, then Podge. Assuming we keep who we have I struggle to see where the right combinations are. Maybe Hartung could make a difference up front but it leaves us short at the back.

I agree- at the moment I can't see where the goals are coming from, with Pajic being the exception. What I would say is that Hogger and Pitton often went many games without scoring at various points of last season and their goals came in bursts. The worst thing that happened to Flyers this pre season was Casey Haines telling them he couldn't make it. I honestly believe that if he was here we'd be fine which shows that it can just be a player here and there that makes the difference. Would Hogg, Pitton and Bobby has the seasons they had last season without Haines? I don't think so. |

Casey Haines missed quite a few games last season and in my opinion Hogg played well with Bobby when he moved up lines. Yes they did score in bursts but at least one of them would be scoring. Apart from Roc who is currently scoring? Two broke their duck at home against an awful Caps team. Hogg would go to the dirty areas and get scrappy goals, Jason on his game could score from anywhere, can the current ones offer that? On evidence so far the answer is no.

The way that the hockey world works here means that the Flyers team from last year is gone, finito, finished. It was good while it lasted. What we have got to deal with is the Flyers team of 2013 -2014.
This is the real test for Todd and Danny starting now. Their pick of imports for this season just isn't working for us at the moment. You just cant see, not only who's going to score goals for us but the gameplay that's going to lead to these goals. They've got to make some changes to get a few goals in this team, tactically or by change of personnel.
We need a spark and I don't think that is going to be watching Matt Nickerson spend most of his time trying to call out everyone on the opposition team. Its already getting distracting and the only result is a ten second stromash and then whatever penalties follow. I think Matt could be a great player for us with just a little change in his mind set during a game. I think at the moment he plays at 30% tough ice hockey player to 70% guy out looking for a fight. He just needs to get his focus more on playing a good tough aggressive game of hockey. Sure there's going to be a time when the gloves need to come off but that needs to be reigned in.

To be fair tho he is the only 1 getting the crowd into the game! The team has been that bad the atmosphere in the rink is shocking until he does something. |
