GratefulFlyers Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 (edited) It’s ALL about puck possession in OT you have to put your best FO man out there… otherwise…duh. You don’t touch the puck and it’s over.

Exactly after they fought like hell to have the coach bend them over like that is down right unacceptable. I hope it is true i hope Torts is going to step aside this offseason and they let Brad Shaw take over and we will see a better over all team in 2024-25!!!

RonJeremy Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 5 minutes ago, OccamsRazor said: Putting out defensive players in OT is not playing to win, that’s playing not to lose. In the OT it makes no sense ,we already got the point. Was Torts playing for a shootout? With their goalie and skill forwards,they have a huge advantage in the shootout, so I have no idea why he didn’t put out some offensive guys there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it’s out of character for Tortorella he’s been preaching “safe is death” or something like that all year. the Rags are 8-1 in OT this year for obvious reasons but keeping your goal scorers on the bench is like handing it to them. You’ll never stop their best with the Flyers’ best defensive forwards, not with that much open ice. The only chance is to win the draw and then attack the net.

All just rumored speculation. So I totally expect it to happen because Shaw will be highly persued and if they are smart they wouldn't let him leave. Torts gets his wish Flyers get their coach.

I can see them starting a win streak if they continue to play Ginning and Attard and Errson. I think it was you that posted in the other thread that Kolosov was en route to the US and I would seriously use him as a b/u for Errson through the rest of the season if they can take care of all of the paperwork to make it happen.

mojo1917 Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 I will add, it has come to light that Adam Fox is a *&)(&()^*^%*&$^*&^*%&*%^ing rat **** bastard. It is my sincere hope that the next time the Flyers play that team, someone maybe Garnett Hathaway runs his punk, puke-faced, ass into the future. Such a bitch move punching a player (York) who was engaged in a battle and not looking, in the face, and then that ************ gets the game winner? I guess that's the result of dressing the knuckle dragger Rempe, guys who aren't tough think they can be? **** that guy, he's no Charlie McAvoy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kept waiting for someone to return the favor on that cheap shot. I think they play the rags one more time this season. I will be looking forward to that game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post CoachX Posted March 27 Popular Post Share Posted March 27 This I why Im glad I am a Flyer fan, and totally love all other Flyer fans. We want a rebuild. We get one. Then we want wins. Wins make us want playoffs. But Flyer fan criticize those that want playoffs because its a rebuild. Then we want losses to get higher picks. But those losses lead to criticism of players and coaches. Those losses bring us back to hoping for more to get higher picks. But then we play well in a loss to a really good team and we are hoping more wins come from the remaining games. And in all of this we want the coach who appears to be responsible for this team being competitive, and on the right track, to move on so we can get another coach. Im pretty sure its this constant flip flop of wants that molded my personality and has led to me having three ex-wives. And here all along I thought it was just because I was hard to get along with 2 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoachX Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Just now, OccamsRazor said: I totally disagree but would love to hear why you think it would be a mistake? I look at this season and I see a team that plays hard for 60. They have overachieved as a team and play as a unit. Individual players are doing really well, succeeding and developing. And all this in the middle of a rebuild and with the drama of Hart. To put it succinctly, I attribute the success of this team, and I consider them a success, to Torts. Why change that? This is why you hired him and he is delivering. Moving him to another role for a project that is unproven, is the same idiotic thing the Eagles did with their coordinator hirings, albeit they couldn't do a thing to stop the previous guys from leaving. There has been a revolving door of head coaches with this franchise. Its time to have some stability. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
