Its the Flyers...they will win all 3 remaining games and just miss out.

That week the Flyers would have been in the playoffs before exiting, would have been glorious.

The ref in this game, Chris Rooney, is a dope. Hathaway didn't dive, so there shouldn't have been unsportsmanlike conduct. It should've just been a trip on Quick.

Cam York opens the scoring, in New York.

I have a feeling this game is going to be worse than Scott Hartnell's haircut. The Flyers are going to lose badly.

Depends is all this only on the players????

 

 

Or does Torts just get off scott free??

He doesn't get off scott free, but he isn't the problem. At least he isn't a top three problem, for sure. Their scouting, talent evaluation, AND their prior GM..and what the hell, I'll throw in their ownership (Comcast and maybe slightly Hilferty), Alumni and maybe even Gritty.. are the problem. He's doing a pretty good job with what he has, and I knew he wasn't going to be the best coach for a young hockey team. He has exceeded my expectations with this bunch somewhat, honestly.

TANK FOR COLE!!!

 

You spelled Celebrini wrong. (I'm saying there's a chance lol)

He sounds like a JVR clone. Pardon and forgive me, for not being excited.

Walker had a great year, but trading him was the right move. We're supposed to be rebuilding. They should have traded Seeler too. Among others.

It probably was the right move, and Walker not being here isn't the main reason for the Flyers struggles..by ANY stretch of the imagination. I don't think it's a total coincidence, however, that they've struggled more defensively and offensively since he was traded to the Avs.

They shouldn't have traded Seeler (thankfully, they didn't) , but I would have lowered the reported asking price on Laughton.

I'm hoping they can improve their draft position over remaining games and escape the season without ruining Jamie Drysdale or, since he's here until the aliens come to squash us like bugs, Sean Couturier.

Spectacular. Yours is the Comment Of The Day.

also known as, "The day the Flyers were neutered". If more Flyers bytch slapped that little puss, the result wouldve been different

No, it would NOT have been different. The one time we beat the Penguins, we had an almost equal amount of talent. We needed more talent to beat them on a consistent basis (and win CUPS..which is the ultimate goal, isn't it?), not more play like that..which would've gotten Flyers players suspended, and made us into a "goon squad". I want to beat them on the scoreboard.

And to be clear, I'm not advocating firing him, I'm just wondering if he was the right hire in the first place. I'm blame the players 100%, but you can't push them too hard these days...they have too much control.

Tortorella wasn't the right hire to begin with. He works better with a veteran filled roster. That being said, this isn't on him. Yes, you can and should be able to, push the players hard. The players are making a lot of money, should be motivated to improve and if they're not..then the previous GM and our scouts need to share some of the blame, along with those players themselves. If they are too sissy, lazy..or both, to respond to adversity and coaching, maybe hockey and the NHL isn't right for them. I know they're young, but you either have "it", or you don't. If Tortorella gets fired, I'm going to be really p*ssed.

Will Errsson be rested by then tho?

He'd better be, since his backup isn't any better than he is.

They need much more, than A Day Off.

Laughton

Who??

2 minutes ago, BobbyClarkeFan16 said:

What a mess. They should have offloaded at the trade deadline, but they chose to keep Laughton, chose to give a shot blocking defenseman with no other discernable skills a four year deal and then dealt for another 35 year old defenseman instead of playing regulars who had put in their time in down at Lehigh Valley. This blew up spectacularly on management and coaching. 

The more things change, the more they stay the &*(^%@% same.

Was definitely worth pissing away a fourth round pick for all this winning, eh?

Meanwhile, Sean Walker will win a Cup, because he's an ex-Flyer (Yes, he's on a damn good team now, too.).

They're making Slavkovsky look like the second coming of Jaromir Jagr. Hat trick. 

Nobody near that little ball of hate Gallagher, to prevent him from getting to the front of the net for the tip. 3-0. This team is toast..burnt, moldy toast.

Atkinson too...yep they are doomed.

I'm praying they can talk him into retirement.

Suzuki with a heck of a cross ice pass to Slafkovsky. It was only a matter of time, with the way things are going and the fact that the Flyers cannot finish and bury any of their 16 shots.

I'll say it again. This team needs a finisher. It's great they get so many shots per game...they have to bury them.

Oh you'd get a nice haul for Konecny.....Ristolainen? You're kidding right? If anyone offers anything.....SOLD!  I'd happily GIVE him away.

There were rumors that Toronto and Vancouver would give up a first rounder for Risto at this past trade deadline..(not a bad haul, ehh?) , but the Flyers would have to retain 25% of his salary. Here we go again, with that retaining salary crap, because they overpay for players.

Flyers must win out i think and need help from all the other teams guess they should be getting the golf clubs ready...

 

 

All I need to do is start pulling for a better draft pick and they will squeak in……

In other news, the final Delta 4 flew it’s final mission today. NROL -70. It is the end of an era.

I have ZERO confidence in the Flyers being able to win tonight, which they must do if they have playoff aspirations. Man, how things can change in a month.
