The Flyers lose another game this time to the Panthers in Florida 3-2. Simon Gagne scored the only 2 goals for the Flyers. Special teams killed them by going 0-5 on the power play, giving up a short handed goal and only killing 4 of 5 penalties.

Antero Niittymaki got the start in goal for the second straight night, he stopped 23 of 26 shots. Niitty played an ok game. The short handed breakaway and the 2nd goal were shots he probably should have stopped.

While the pylon was on the ice for 2 of the Panthers goals so were 5 other Flyers so I cant complain too much about him specifically.

Lars Jonsson and Peter Forsberg were out with injuries but should be ready to go next Thursday against Atlanta.

Van Ryn , Belfour and Gagne were the 3 stars.

The Flyers have 5 days off until their next game against the Thrashers, next Thursday.
AND there is a lot of talk about a change. Not just more players waived or brought up, but coaching and managerial changes. With 5 days off this would be an ideal time to make a coaching change. Personally, I think a change would be good. The Flyers are 1-6-1. A coaching or GM change can’t possibly make the situation any worse then it is now.
