Just had my first kid (son, name TBD) on Friday. Watched part of the devils game holding him in my arms Saturday. Turned the game off after the first period to not expose him to too much of this bs. I’ve been a fan since 1985.

I'm so over it with this team.

9 can go, 24 can go, 55 can go 77, **** if anyone would take 6 at that contract sai chen buddy. 

Is there a player on the blue line playing well? York? maybe?

 

Even though he's a talent yada yada yada...Ivan Provorov is playing his way out of Philadelphia, he's getting dumber by the day.

It looks to me like his GSI...That's give a **** index for those who don't work with me, is at an all-time low. 

He could bring back good assets, time to turn him into a shot to pick or develop a player that can be what he was projected to be.

I'm sick of watching him pass to the opposition in the slot off his backhand. 

I can't imagine the coach is enamored with him either. 

I agree to agree.

this game has been very shameful.

when is the trade deadline? I can't wait for another one to pass by and the Flyers make a couple minor paper transactions. The best I can hope for with this GM is to not end up in a worse spot than before, but I feel like he keeps putting us there.

Nope.

don't get too excited. You know that moving any Flyers player comes at a cost for us. Chuck has set his own dumbass precedent; any other GM in the league would be a fool to take less.

Frost is showing some great skill, he has made some real slick passes, good stick handling and he also has fired in some incredible goals , his shot looks better than advertised.  He scored on a great stick between the legs move a few games ago. He also had a couple of four point games. He has has some defensive lapses but it's alot better than the lapses in skill that we are used to. He is showing great chemistry with Tippett.

I was thrashing the guy early this season, but he has come around and with some consistency. Agree with you here. I think he stays... for a while.

is it possible to get less people to watch this game? they're asking jaded, disinterested fans to navigate a couple more subscription services to watch this team?

Just sickening to see how far this franchise has fallen ...... sigh .....

"Thanks, Biden Chuck."

Good point. He is out of them. They could, however,  move the 2nd that they "theoretically", get for JVR.  Here's to hoping, anyway.

So Provy, a 1st and a 2nd, for nothing in return. Sounds like a deal to our GM.

He's out of 2nds to give.

Also keep in mind Chuck won't get anything in return.

Provorov's move last night didn't really do much except convince Chuck he now needs to package a 1st round pick with him, instead of a 3rd, when it's time to trade Provy away.

pretty SOP for this management. How many times have we heard "he's making progress. He's skating and on the ice" to "he's out indefinitely and we don't know when he'll be back or what's wrong with him. there's no timetable for his return"?

i haven't seen anything credible that he's close to being fired. If anything, considering Flyers management history, he's closer to being promoted.

Didn’t Fletcher try to trade JVR last year? And get nowhere? I can’t have any hope with this guy at the helm.

Price him right and anyone is tradeable. Even Hayes and Ristolainen. All it takes is the willingness to admit mistakes, an understanding it’s time to start over. That’s not exactly the Flyers M.O. but the weak ticket sales / merchandise sales, plus the Booos will eventually take effect.

 

Evidently Tortorella has no use for Hayes. Tonight he’s got him skating on the 3rd line and he’s on the wing, just one of many games Hayes has been demoted. And he’s got another point, an A on Sedlak’s goal…

 

 

Except that Chuck gave away all his 2nd round picks he “had” to give to other teams to take our players to make a “trade.”  It’s the only way he knows to make trades. ****** moron. (Chuck, not you)

Here’s what Chuck has done to this team: last Black Friday and Saturday I sold over 2 dozen shirts on Etsy. This year: zero. Thanks, Chuck. 

Or like watching Oz pretend to eat a Steak and Cheese. 

this whole game is very shameful. they broadcast is roasting the flyers on national TV and the Pens are eating them alive on the ice. They are, in fact, "going through the motions."

IS HE GONE???

Flyers are a dumpster fire and their neighbor....

 

NJ can set a new franchise record Wednesday vs TOR!!!!

 

and yet they will still be ahead of us in draft position.

is there a tracker of man-games lost already? Are the Flyers at the top of that list if it exists? The lineups posted this morning were laughable; we are missing two full forward lines and playing with 8/12 forward guys who should be 4th line or AHLers. This is not a time to be going through the motions... sure it's like Fantasy Camp for Morgan Frost (my new whipping post) but most guys in the lineup now probably are not going to get this playing time or opportunity on other teams.

in positive news, while the flyers have been losing the last couple games, Arizona, Seattle, and NJD have been winning.

once again, I am asking you south philly locals for advice.
