Good point!! 🙂

In all honesty, what would his market value even be? I'd go all in on another Turgeon for Lafontaine type of a deal if there was another Lafontaine out there. But Eichel's value IMO has taken quite a hit.

Totally understand... I've managed to find other things that have become much more important these days. Unfortunately, they've lost me. The light at the end of the tunnel seems to always get further away with this franchise!

Why would anyone pay for a Covid test & ticket plus risk catching Covid in order to watch this crew. The real question is how many fans would show up wearing the other team's colors??

Yep... That's the team I'm accustomed to watching over the last decade... Might be awhile before I watch my 2nd game of the year. Pathetic franchise

Holy Zhitnik... Can any of these d-men ever hit the net?!!?!?

Cut short working around the house to sit and watch my first game of the year... Looks like I chose a bad one to watch!! Good Lord.

....And no heart

All starts with lack of intensity.

Botterill said his visa crap may not be ready in time and to not expect him til next week

If VO is out any length of time, I say call up Pilut, sit Rodrigues again, and roll out 4 d-pairings!! Assuming Frolik is unavailable Saturday of course... Maybe Erod would be pissed enough to just drive himself to Rochester!!

Since Ralph is such a positive guy... "hey boys, we've shown that we can play our best hockey in the 3rd period... when the other guys have a big lead... and decided to shut things down offensively... something we can build on boys... let's do it again to see if we can be consistent"... ?

Yep. Fewer teams. Ownership had a plan. Management had a plan. Team on the ice competed every night. May never see the playoffs again let alone compete for a cup. I know I'll never see it

What a pathetic indictment of a team... You are without your best player and the rest of the team has zero compete in them. 100% falls on Botterill. Do something. Even if it doesn't pan out, at least show the fan base that you have a pulse and are willing to take a chance.

It's contagious

Looking like we'll have another 5-6 years of high picks to get it right.... And then another 5-6, and another.... wash, rinse, repeat

Flyers looking like a team that has a lot of good, young bodies. Guess that's the byproduct of high draft picks for several years in a row... Oh, wait... that's us

first shot on goal in 17 minutes of play.... WTF

I hope they f'ing score 20

Botterill isn't going to do a damn thing if Eichel comes back next game

And yet again, I am only watching to see the severity of the implosion. So f'ing sick of this franchise

Still can't believe how devoid this team is of talent after nearly a decade of sucking. This team minus Eichel is as bad if not worse than the tank teams. How is that possible??

It’s unfathomable that this franchise has sucked for so long, and has so little in the system to look to for help. Disgusting Agree to disagree

May as well add to the list. If Ralphy continues to play him with Rodrigues and the likes, why keep him? He’s just another one of the invisibles. Jack is the only untouchable
