This is what i'm saying. I don't know why anyone is complaining around here. We NEED this type of season badly. The only person I feel bad for is Michkov, but most top ranked prospects play on shitty teams their rookie years, including Crosby and McDavid.

id be fine if this was according to plan..

but this Org. actualy thinks this is the final year of a 3 year rebuild and dont understand why they are at the bottom..

 

[deadhead]

Frost could drop 90 points and get hate. We saw similar things with Giroux. There are flyers fans who hate scoring and don't care about winning. They think fighting and hitting are the real goals. Not actual goals.

Oh that's just BS.
IF Frost put up 50+ ES points, he'd get a nice extension and be set at the 1C.
Last two years, 41 and 30.
7th and 6th in ES minutes among forwards. 5th this season.

 

[blackjackmulligan]

If the Flyers are losing games b/c DeLo is playing 6 minutes, the other 11 forwards must really suck.
It's not like say Brink and his 44% xGF is a huge upgrade.
DeLo, GF/GA 1/1, Brink GF/GA 3/4. Not much of an impact.

Why play ND if they are rebuilding? Seems like a strage move. don't you want to see what the younger guy with an NHL future can do?

And people would complain about him the whole way, just like happened with Giroux.

 

[Rebels57]

Eh, it's only productive if it leads to every single employee being fired.

It's a lot more likely to lead to that than a season where they are on the bubble again.

I think we both know nobody that truly needs to be fired is ever getting fired. They'll shuffle a name or two out while maintaining the core outlook.

Same as it ever was
Torts will “move up” and become a senior advisor
Briere, Jones & Fatso will remain in their places
Shaw will be “promoted” to HC. Not much of a promotion since Torts is a lazy f*** to begin with
And, to replace Shaw, they’ll bring in an ex Flyer Dman or some guy that Shaw coached previously who knew how to play “the right way”

The only thing that changes in this organization are the color shades on the sweaters and the prices of tix, concessions and merch.

They are the Groundhog Day of the NHL

 

[Magua]

this is a representation of the Flyers journey to being bad

There's no earthly way of knowing
Which direction the Flyers are going
There's no knowing if the youth is growing
Or which way the rebuild's flowing
Is fan interest waning, ticket sales slowing?
A New Era of Orange ongoing?
Not a speck of skill is showing
To Tortorella they keep kowtowing
Is Briere's uselessness showing?
How 'bout an Independence Blue Cross quoting?

I’m pretty sure Augustus Gloop grew up to become Flahrsy.

Great post….. This should be a “sticky”

Torts your fired

I do not think he moves upstairs.

However, if he does this year or after the spin will be this was always the plan.

Wonder what, if anything would lead to him being let go during this season.

 

[bennysflyers16]

This game gonna be a spanking, but at least @Tripod has tp watch !!

And Torts will do whatever Torts wants to do. Once he goes upstairs we are even more f***ed,

Go save dogs loser, that's the only thing you are food at.

He's not getting fired, and I doubt he moves upstairs.

Torts will coach as long as he wants, and then become a senior advisor who meets with Briere once a month and spends the rest of the time with his wife, dogs and horses on the farm.

They don't care about wins and losses right now, Briere wouldn't have accumulated 2025 draft picks unless he was expecting to be rebuilding until 2027-2028 or so (when this draft will arrive). The current team isn't good enough, Zavragin isn't coming over until 2027, Luchanko, Bonk, Barkey, Ciernak, et al aren't enough by themselves to make them SC contenders.

Right now, it's more about seeing who is part of the core, and who may be used as trade assets.
I think they'll try to swing one or two deals for young difference makers.

 

[Hanover Fist]

It makes no sense to play Delo. You play a kid in the hopes they play decent enough to either keep or move for an asset if they are not in your plans. Delo doesn’t get you a bag of practice pucks even if you retain.

Nightmare scenario

 

[Gregor Samsa]

10-1 bruins that ends with Torts ripping sticks out of his players hands and throwing them on the ice

 

[PHILOUDELPHIA]

Torts at math

Torts at math

I'm sorry, I can't help myself, watching the Flyers has warped my little mind...

I didn't realize it was that bad in Boston, oh lawd

 

[Kelmitchell2]

Pastas 5th career hat trick against us incoming

 

[santapore]

we are gonna win this game! lets go flyers!

You don’t have to give hand jobs in Boston

[Melonhead]

I’ll take a strategic 3-2 loss. Michkov and Tippett with the goals, Andrae decent PP2 quarterbacking, Ersson solid in net, and one step closer to a top 3 pick

 

[Kelmitchell2]

Ok so I had a dream that torts gets fired, and then pulls a Rick flair and shows paperwork stating he own 50% of the company and then moves up into management

 

[JojoTheWhale]

I have leftover Dan Dan Noodles for dinner. They can’t hurt me.
