FIFY

Here’s the thing…. Would you be willing to accept 3 straight seasons of no Stanley cup, if it was preceded by one? the only question I need the answer to is, can he deliver a championship? All the rest is just noise

Tortorella was the right man for head coach

that is weird. I have the same issue with the voices in my head

trade him now, his value will never be higher!

If history repeats, TK won’t get anywhere near 40. He’ll ride the euphoria of being an all star and drop in maybe another 8

this never gets old!

Last time this happened, the guy went in the tank and never really got back to form until this season

Are game links still available?

Finally caught a game....fun one to watch Not sure what to think about this roster, but Im still loving Torts

is there something to this? Does he not want to be a Flyer?

Yeah, Im sure Brink has a more valuable opinion. My issues is with the writer. Like FC said, why should we care. If they were teammates and that is the basis for why Brink was interviewed, illustrate that point. Dont end it with, they arent really close. It also sounds like who Rizzo is now as a player, ad who he was then, might be two different players

Ok, disclaimer.... I haven't watched and I have been marginally up to date with anything going on with the team. Since Football is almost over, and the Eagles are trying their hardest to replace the Flyers as the franchise most like to make me jump off a bridge, I thought I would try to ease back in to what's what with our boys I started by reading this article about the Rizzo kid. I don't much about him. Sounds like he might be a good addition down the road. But that's not what strike me odd. The interview quoted Bobby Brink and his take on Rizzo. here's what he said: "I haven’t talked to him since he’s been traded. I think he’s excited about being in the organization, obviously he’s having an unbelievable year. Even when I was there when he was a freshman you could tell he was a special player. Lot of skill, hard worker, loves the game, so yeah, I think he’s a great player.” not bad, good stuff I suppose. Then....“I have no idea what he’s gonna do and what his decision’s gonna be, or what the club’s gonna do,” makes sense. At this point I got the impression the two were buddies or something. NOT! The next line the reporter writes is, "For fans that might have romanticized these two as a future dynamic duo in Orange and Black, it’s clear that they aren’t super close with each other." It is? Not sure how anyone else would take this, but it wasn't clear to me. I mean, if Brink doesn't know the guy, why the hell do I care what his opinion is? Hell, why not interview the hallway janitor and ask his thoughts? I guess there isnt much more to report on. BTW, since I'm late to the party, has Laughton scored his second goal of the year yet? Asking for a friend.

I fcking hate Christmas

This might be my favorite post of all time, this month

Maybe Laughton will get that oh so elusive 2nd goal

Im late to the party.... YEP!

they have Laughton

pretty sure she walks Central Blvd carrying a Big Gulp and charging 50 for her time Ok, that was too much and poor cop humor. Apologies to those.... Some of the third jerseys they've had were pretty cool. Its just seems like our fan base are diehards with the traditional style look. Im ok with that, but I don't think they did enough here. If they removed the name plates, outlined the shoulder numbers, and put black piping between the orange shoulders and white body, it would look better

I brought myself to watch a game for the first time in a season and a half. The team was still boring, but they did compete. But what stood out most to me are these new jerseys. I HATE THEM! Seriously, I didn't know if I was watching the Flyers, or the Florida Panthers. I get what they did here, combining the 70s with the 80s, but in my opinion, they failed miserably. In today's game, with all the possibilities for jerseys, Im disappointed this was what they came up with. And I know many of you love the nostalgia of the old school name placards, but I think they look cheap. Leave it to the Flyers to take what was essentially a quick fix idea and turn it into fashoin statement. The game I was watching was against LVK. I dont really like all their colors, but I definitely like their style. I thought I was watching a pro team playing against a beer league pick up squad

As soon as this happens, I will start watching again

Well, in all fairness, they thought we all liked the last 10 years of Flyers hockey

after a decade+, it gets old

why are you picking on me? If I was named coach, first thing I would do is hold a town hall on this forum to get my game plan. Tell me that's not a record for success?

we are not weak at center. we have scott laughton. he can play all four center positions by himself
