No disrespect, I just don't see what you see in Farabee. York on the other hand will be a stud in this league.

That 5 on 3 was a complete disgrace. No set up no set plays just running around hoping for a lucky bounce.

Jesus F'n Christ, do we not have any coaches that can teach these idiots structure? Running around always out of position. Unbelievable!! Yeo couldn't coach a team of all stars to a win. AV was bad Yeo might just be worse. This year is ****** to say the least. Fire Fletcher ASAP and build from scratch.

No more trading away picks, we need to restock the cupboard.

Year's and years ago mom was a Flyer fan because her nephew knew Bobby Clark in Flin Flon. She started me as a Flyer fan. I lost my mom in the early eighties so now there is no other team for me.

Thing is I don't think Fletcher is smart enough to build a winner. Judging by what he has done so far in Minnesota and in Philly, if he is not fired all I see is more Ristolainen, Ellis and Hayes type signings in the future. You just cant keep giving big contracts to players on the down side of their careers (Ellis) or 1 trick ponies (Ristolainen) of 4th line players making 2nd line money (Hayes). In 50 years I don't think I have ever been so pissed off at this team.

To be honest I think JVR will have some value come the trade deadline to a team that needs PP help.

F'n Hayes is useless, and that 7 million contract makes him even worse. A a no talent slag taking up that much cap space is beyond stupid. At best he would be a 4th liner on any cup contending team. Fletcher has no clue how to assess talent. To be honest I would rather have a broken down Patrick over a broken down Ellis. He'll Patrick is young and may become healthy and a better player with the right coaching. Ellis is over the hill and oft injured. Hell we would still have Myers. Fire Fletcher Now!!!!!

Lol @ "when he gets healthy" Pretty sure you're an "if" he gets healthy. Which he won't, Fletcher was sold danamagef goods and was more than happy to pay top dollar for the privilege.

FFS.......I can see why a lot of you have given up watching this team. I'm a stubborn old diehard so I guess I will continue watching when I can. Why the hell has Yeo not been fired. Christ Sakes he has no system on offence or defence, it's like a freakin free-for-all out there and they are often caught out of position. I get that the old guard management are a big part of the problem, but hell Fletcher and Yeo are far from NHL caliber. Jeez, they have to fire Fletcher before the trade deadline or the shelves will be empty. JVR might have some scoring value to a team looking to make a run, the rest of these F'n idiots won't return much but a good GM has to try.

Absolutely no structure to their game what so ever, they look like a pee-wee team running around out there. WTF are the coaches doing, because they are defiantly not coaching. *$#$ I'm pissed off. F'n embarrassing time to be a Flyer Fan!!!!

I don't see it either. IMO the only one that should not be on the trade block is Hart. But I hope Fletcher is gone before the trade deadline so he can't F'up this team any worse.

Who will be watching? I will be.

Fletcher is useless, he needs to be gone before this team is gutted of talent and draft picks and full of no talent over the hill has-beens making way more money than they were ever worth. Fire him now before the trade deadline, let the new guy decide who goes and who stays. I don't trust Fletcher to make a sane decision at all.

Tank two years in a row and maybe you can get that Connor Bedard kid in 2023.

Win or lose I will watch every chance I get, always have always will.

A real fan supports his/her team through the highs and lows. Just sayin'

Well at least we didn't lose in a shootout......

I remember those days also. Thing is you can't play like that in Betman's NHL you would spend the game in the penalty box. Christ you barely touch somebody and you get 2 minutes. I am not a fan, but it is what it is. Players are to big fast and strong these days to let them play old time hockey. The injuries would be devastating and possibly career ending.

Clarke and Holmgren are dinosaurs of the old NHL and shouldn't be in charge of anything, on this we agree. Not sure why Comcast is keeping them around, I guess that happens when the team owner (Comcast) don't know hockey from their arseholes.

No I'm saying a good GM would have no problem bringing top players here. Not over paying for players beyond their prime. Case and point, trading Myers and Patrick for Ellis. Now Ellis is another big contract with the player on the downside of his career. Then Nashville flip Patrick to LV for Cody Glass. Pretty sure you would have liked to see Glass in a Flyers uniform. Not? Trading away Ghost and picks for nothing another idiotic Fletcher move. AV was using him wrong like AV was using a lot of players wrong. Not even trying to talk to Quinville was a huge mistake even if he was 99% going to Florida. You always try to bring in the best you can, if you are settling you aren't doing your job. I will give you this though. The Flyers are trying to GM like there is no Salary Cap in a Salary Cap league. Best conversation I've had on here in a long time....cheers.

Has there been a decent GM in Philly in 10+ years? I'll wait.

Okay, I was just going off your post above, my bad. But blaming the franchise for top FAs not coming here instead of placing the blame on an obvious inept GM is just wrong. This roster is such a mess, loaded with overpaid mediocre players with no-trade-clauses in their contracts, and few assets coming up it will take a top GM 5 years to fix it. Fletcher is not even in the top 50% of GMs in the league

Not sure you understand how free agency works and how a good GM uses it to improve his team. Like I said it has absolutely nothing to do with the team or the city. Saying top FAs don't want to come to the Flyers is just plain wrong They go where the money is. Fletcher paying JVR and Hayes to top money long term contracts is the problem not the franchise. Hell Fletcher couldn't even be bothered to try and talk to Quinvill he just hires a has been like AV, no wonder he can't build a winner here. Try and keep up okay.

Lol it's funny you think those two scabs are big name FAs. Not bringing in FA talent is a product of an incompetent GM not a factor of a team or city. In the new NHL money talks. Talent will go where they get paid. Fletcher has proven he can't sign talent because he over pays for scabs like JVR and Hayes. Then gives away assets for next to no return. Any GM worth his salt would have contacted Quinvill even if he 99% sure he wouldn't come to Philly. Until Fletcher is gone and a competent GM is brought in you can expect the paying top FA money to middle of the road players will continue.....it is the Fletcher way.
