Another Loss By The Philadelphia Flyers

11/29/2014 at 9:06am EST

from Matt Breen of the Philadelphia Inquirer,

It was the Flyers' first home shutout loss to the Rangers since Feb. 9, 2008. The crowd grew restless as the clock continued to wind down without much of a Flyers scoring threat. The Flyers have lost seven of their last eight games. Saturday brings a rematch at Madison Square Garden, a venue in which the Flyers have lost nine straight times.

"We're playing like crap," Wayne Simmonds said. "They deserve to boo us. We deserve to get booed."

Claude Giroux, the captain, said the Flyers are not playing like a team. They have been held scoreless in two of their last three games. A players-only meeting Wednesday proved futile. General manager Ron Hextall said the Flyers will make moves. There are no short-term fixes, he said. Hextall said the team is better than its record.

"I'm not happy at this point. I'm not happy with our record. I'm not happy with our overall performance," Hextall said.

Head coach Craig Berube said the power-play issues stemmed from frustration and composure. It was a problem that needs to be corrected, he said. The coach was asked if there was something he could do to correct it.

"Do you want me to score for them?" Berube asked.
