Stick sense
Ed Moran: Same old for inconsistent, slow-starting Flyers
WHEN GENERAL manager Paul Holmgren pulled the trigger on the Steve Downie/Steve Eminger deal for Matt Carle, I was eager to see what the effect would be.
With another loss and an unimpressive record, the players should have viewed the trade as a clear sign that management was not happy. A desperate team, eager to turn its fortunes around, was expected to come charging out of the locker room for Saturday's home game against the Lightning.
