People who don’t like paying attention to the cap and contracts are rooting for the perfect team, because the Flyers don’t pay attention to them either.

I thought he retired in the second period of Game 6 against the Islanders in 2020.

What age is Konecny again? So many people on this board still think it's the pre-cap era - they think AAV and years don't matter, and they think the game is still clutch and grab, so players in their 30s are in their prime instead of over the hill.

Lol, he already has.

You keep making my points for me, lol. What's this world coming to?

Ha, ha. Danny Briere is one dumb mfer. Maybe he was scared some team in Outer Mongolia was going to outbid us for the future superstar. Is Fedotov is going to be the new Morin? A huge player that Flyers fans will insist is going to be good despite all available evidence that they are a gangly mutant who can't play.

Other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?

1) you know nothing about hockey and you thought Fletcher was doing a good job. Go away. 2) there is no such thing as tanking.

Just like a lot of people here predicted, the organization has no stomach for a rebuild. All their talk last year was just that: talk. The second there was a straw to grab to avoid a rebuild they grabbed it. This team is doomed. The organization has learned nothing. It’s business as usual in Flyerland.

Citation needed. I don't see anything different from the last several years, other than fewer players I hate. That doesn't mean more players that are actually good.

Got him, Torts!

No

They got Fedotov out because he sucked and he got cut by his team. Michkov can't do it by himself. I don't want another Lindros - a star player going to battle every game with half a team of pluggers. They need to get assets now that have half a chance of being good when Michkov is in his prime. Waiting 3 years to get Michkov help isn't going to work.

Lmfao, this is the entire season in a nutshell. Absolutely nothing accomplished other than getting the worst draft pick a team this bad should be getting.

We had to destroy the season to save the season.

Yet there are plenty here who are against moves that make the team worse the next year or two but might make the team better in four years. It would be amazing if there were a word for moves like that when used as part of a coherent strategy.

The same people that are against the rebuild are the same people who can't figure out why the team never gets better. I'm sure there is no connection.

Helpful to what?

Well, yes, but what about the Flyers organization?

Maybe this is the turning point and it’s all Stanley Cup from here, lol.

You are just the weirdest person. There is no switch. The Flyers' points percentage is .531, while the Rangers is .688, a difference of .157. I could be completely off, but that would suggest that at worst that the Flyers would be expected to get about 35% of the points when playing the Rangers, which is winning about 1 in 3 games. (Someone please correct me if my math is off.) We are also talking a handful of games between them, so the difference between winning 1 of 4 vs. 2 of 4 is a huge swing. Maybe I will start a Grateful Dead thread where we can geek out on shows, because I don't get your views on hockey. But I'm worried you are going to come along and tell me the Brent years are the best era.

Think what they could have gotten if they traded him a year or two earlier.

Ok, I'm done now (no one post anything dumb I have to respond to). I will leave it at this: rooting for anything other than a full teardown at this point is getting in line for seconds at the feces buffet.

He wasn't. Just because one tire isn't bald doesn't mean it's a critical piece. Get real - this team has no critical pieces.

God, having to listen to this drivel all season was driving me nuts. It's one thing for the team to say this - they are getting paid to. It's another for fans to delude themselves like this.
