Flyers had a good start to the game in the first period. -out shooting the team.
Halak gave up a softie for the first goal.
The power play has no power now.
Petey’s game is flat because he missed training camp and played much fewer games than other players.
Injury to end last season for him. Then the pandemic. He has played less than 50 games in the past two seasons. Missing 30 games with a wrist injury put a dent in his game.

It's disheartening in some ways... like... as a fan I sat back and I watched Edmonton play for awhile against Philly and I also watched about an hour of the Leafs game... guys like McDavid and Matthews/Marner (despite the fact they've both struggled to start the season) are so far above and beyond any skill on our team. SO far. We have nothing like that here... that's the thing that bothers me... and you can't just go out and get that, you have to draft it. Even Petey can't consistently look so dominant like those guys do.
I don't think the training camp excuse is valid after 8 games.............. he's just looking awful out there. He finally got a couple looks on the PP tonight but that was it... I can't wait for Green/King to put this whole Alex Chiasson thing to rest... when you watch the opposing team play us, they're so not afraid of Miller shooting they're shading THREE guys over to Petey's side... Of those 3 guys one of them stays high for Hughes so Hughes can't shoot but even that player shades toward Petey... so no one time pass to Petey is open... even if he does get it, the shot lane is closed... teams literally do not care if Miller gets the puck, they're happy to just go over toward him when he does get it but give up the shot to him. So, basically, Hughes and Miller just toss it back and forth endlessly.
They need to put Miller back to net-front, he's very adept at tips... and Boeser back in his spot becuase he is a legitimate shooting threat. It boggles my mind how the coaches can't see this.
if they want to play Chiasson on the PP then stick him on the 2nd unit.
2nd unit is the only PP unit that looks good rn.

A federal lawsuit filed by a former minor league assistant and his wife accuses the Pittsburgh Penguins of negligently retaining a coach who sexually assaulted and harassed her and then retaliating against him for reporting the incident.
Jarrod and Erin Skalde sued the Penguins nearly a year ago in U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, alleging former Wilkes-Barre/Scranton coach Clark Donatelli molested Erin Skalde during an outing on a road trip in 2018. The team is the American Hockey League affiliate of the Penguins and is run by the NHL club.
They also allege that current Minnesota Wild general manager Bill Guerin, who was GM for Wilkes-Barre/Scranton and assistant GM for the Penguins at the time, asked Jarrod Skalde to keep the reason for Donatelli’s termination quiet and that the team punished Skalde for reporting the assault and later terminated his position under the guise of pandemic-related staff cuts.
Guerin is also the assistant GM for the U.S. Olympic men’s hockey team. The GM, Stan Bowman, resigned from that job and from his job as head of hockey operations for Chicago earlier this week amid the fallout from the Blackhawks scandal.
A USA Hockey spokesman said no decision has been made on Bowman’s successor.
Amid the shockwaves of the investigation into the Blackhawks’ mishandling of sexual assault allegations 11 years ago, TSN reported last week that the U.S. Center for SafeSport had opened an investigation into Guerin’s handling of the situation with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton. A spokesman said Thursday that SafeSport “does not comment on active matters to protect the integrity of the process.”
