"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Flyers chairman Ed Snider is not pleased by his team's 4-10-1 start. (Bill McCay/Getty Images)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Philadelphia Flyers chairman Ed Snider took his team to task after its 3-0 loss to the Devils on Thursday.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\"The effort was pathetic,\" Snider told reporters on Friday. \"We were losing all the battles along the boards. We can't continue to be a team that can't score. If we can't score, we can at least win the battles along the boards.\"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MUIR: NHL Week 5 power rankings&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Flyers, who fired head coach Peter Laviolette last month, are averaging a league-worst 1.47 goals per game, and, not surprisingly, are in last place in the Metropolitan Division.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\"If I was the fans, I'd be booing myself, too,\" said 25-year-old team captain Claude Giroux, who hasn't scored this season and spoke with Snider after Thursday's game. \"It's not acceptable. We're a better team than this. We've got to go and play the game and start winning them.\"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\"I've never seen anything like this,\" Snider added. \"We've had teams that have struggled. Sometimes we have bad goaltending, but we're scoring four goals a game and giving up five. I've never seen a team that can't score, particularly with the talent that we have.\"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MUIR: Emery's knockout won't help end fighting in the NHL\u00A0&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ed Snider says things have never been this bad in all of his 47 years with the Flyers: http://t.co/8XBRatWyEQ #FlyersTalk\n\u2014 Sarah Baicker (@sbaickerCSN) November 8, 2013&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
