It was ugly. Momo to Scott Gordon: This is what happens when you send out smurfs like Freddy "The Last" Meyer aginst orges like Scott Hartnell. You'll end up looking like road kill. The only good thing that happen was JT standing up for his goalie after getting cheapshoted by that gutless puke Chris Pronger. We need more size and someone like Chris Carins to keep the other team's thugs honest. You don't line up 5'10" 180 lbs smurfs up aginst 6'3" 225+ lbs slabs of beef and expect to win or tie!

Way to jump ship during a rough patch people. As for an enforcer keeping Pronger from taking a cheap shot on JT? Wouldn't have stopped him. He's played like this against every team his whole career. He's a dirty player and he gets away with it because he's a name guy. That said, it would've been nice for someone to take a shot at Briere or Richards in retaliation. And for the armchair GM's...do you really think it's that easy to make deals? Every team wants a young, big, tough and mobile defenseman. It's not like they're hanging around ripe for the picking. Quit acting like this team should be contending by now. We're at the beginning of this rebuild, it takes time. This isn't a video game where you can just wheel and deal and overturn your roster in minutes.

Its amazing how Snow is a genius or a moron depending on the last 3 :) I know we all got our hopes up when they were out working top tier teams and were in almost every game. I think it gave us a false sense that we were closer then we really are. Still only year two of rebuild. We have injuries to our leaders. Our young guys are struggling. We have a start but not all the players required for a turn around (Sim, Tamby, Meyer, Witt, Gervais, Jackman are pretty much standing in until we can get upgrades). Have a little more patience guys, we've seen flashes of what this team could be, but I think we may have gotten a little ahead of ourselves. And the roller coaster take a turn downwards.

As much as lack of talent has been responsible for many Isles losses this year, last night was simply lack of effort. They've bounced back well from similar games earlier in the year (Montreal comes to mind), so let's see what they've got tonight. Either way, Gordon has to get the team to bring a consistent effort every game. And Sutton's shot blocking is sorely missed. Any team looks bad when they don’t skate.

They also forgot how to hit as well. The flyers pushed them around like leaves in a hurricane...We were just what the flyers needed....I am glad we could help them out..

Could barely watch the 3rd period. We're part way there, but missing key pieces. Here are the issues imo: - Need an enforcer. JT should NEVER ever be involved in a scrum like that. Keep that up, and he'll have a short career when guys start head hunting him. - D is AWFUL. Witt just dumps and takes bad penalties. Gervais is weak and afraid. Streit, for all his offensive prowess, is a defensive nightmare. 2 goals are all on him. - Biron needs to start playing like he wants to be a number 1 somewhere, and not like he's just collecting a paycheck. We'd be lucky to get a 4th rounder for him right now. - Please PLEASE someone agree with me that this team needs a FULL day or two of just shooting practice. How many freaking times do we need to miss the net every single game before we realize thats a problem. Howie must be SO damned tired of saying, "shot, oh he missed by a country mile"? We need D help. Time to spend the 20 mil or so we've go sitting in cap space, or DP wont last 3 weeks when he comes back. No, we wont win the cup this year, but spend a few to solidfy this team for a deep run so some young FA's come here. Sorry for the rant, just couldnt take anymore after the TB and Philly games.

Ya think Pronger thinks twice about hitting JT from behind if C Orr or a real enforcer was there to retaliate? Another blunder by Wang/Snow as everyone knew we needed an enforcer (as well as a D man) since the summer. Cheap. Tavares can thank Wang & Snow for losing a tooth.

A mugging, a one sided loss, no dirty work and 2 goals by the franchise. Yup, thats what I expected from this team on opening nite. So with that said, they did not disappoint me.
