Same leaders for years now with the same results. The Flyers have more talent than many teams that perform better because their players step up when needed. I think there are a few on the team; Couturier, Konecny, Provorov – even Hayes and Farabee…but the highest paid guys like Giroux and Voracek play like bums at times and offer the same BS excuses after each loss – I don’t think losing really bothers them as much as it should – and that’s why they never seem to get any better or show more heart. I wish there’d be a big shakeup with those two and we could start over with the core – just some better leaders. We did this a delecade ago when getting rid of Mike Richards and Jeff Carter – maybe it’s time to clean house again!

We hear the same old shit from guys like Giroux after every loss – taking responsibility and promising to get better – same story for a decade. Problem is, he does nothing to get better – and in fact disappears for stretches like now – you barely hear his name called during some games.
They have talent, but you need that catalyst leader that inspires with great play, not words – and the Flyers don’t have that guy right now.
Fuck, at this point I’d take Crosby on this team over G or Voracek – and I hate the crybaby, but at least he plays with heart and doesn’t just talk like he has some.
