Holtby has slow feet – for a goalie, that’s a big problem. Esp. in the NHL.

They were definitely filming last night. There was an unexpected cameraman on the ice recording the Flyers coming down the tunnel pre-game and during the 1st intermission.

It’s time to bring up Holtby. Seriously, bring up Holtby. What is there to lose…….unless goalie issues are attributed to Olaf’s coaching.

I understand our defense is struggling too, but a goalie has gotta stop those softies.

Just got an email from the NHL advertising the new HBO 24/7 “Flyers/Rangers Premieres TONIGHT at 10 ET only on HBO” … so are we the first team to be embarrassed 2 seasons in a row on this series?…. I really hope they weren’t filming last night

And how exactly does a team get lazy? Seems to me players get lazy when they know they can get away with it, and under BB they got away with alot. The whole “accountability” meme towards the end of his tenure speaks volumes. If you have to advertise that “accountablilty” is something that will be enforced, that signals to me that its something that wasn’t happening before. Sort of like “compassionate conservatism” - you wouldn’t have to tell people you were compassionate if you actually WERE compassionate.

The coaching change was the right move. Now, there will need to be some personnel changes to go with it (topic for another time). None of this seems too surprising to me.
