will we ever win?

Crap on ice continues

I'll just let Sami Kapanen say it for me.

"It's getting to the point where it's ridiculous," Kapanen said after the Flyers (31-15-9) lost for the fifth time in six games. "The other team is smiling and laughing [while] skating off the ice. At least punish those guys when they have the lead and they're playing like that. We just have to go after them. I don't care what we're doing. We just have to fight a little harder."

Anyone notice what happened in the Rangers game previous? Flyers were sucking, Brashear finally stepped up, handed Orr a beatdown, Flyers withstood a horrible call by the ref, came back from 2-0 and even went ahead 3-2 before eventually blowing the game.

Mostly the Flyers are playing scared and tenative. They're going all out at times but with no direction. How many times have they gone into a scrum digging for the puck tenaciously and if they don't end up losing the battle like they do most of the time, they get the puck and then do nothing with it. They hesitate all the time. They make bad passes. They pass it to guys that are stationary, they have no flow and no aggressiveness. They just wait for something bad to happen which it inevitably does.
