Post-Game Talk: #13 | Flyers at Sharks | November 7, 2023 | Lost 2-1

[Rich Nixon]

remember that guy who came on this board last year, during the Provorov Pride Wars, and tried to convince us it was cool to have sex with horses?

that guy was John Tortorella

 

[bennysflyers16]

No they are that bad

Historically bad actually.

And they played the part last night, they looks horrible.

 

[BringBackHakstol]

Thank god Torts didn't dress Frost, might have scored 2 goals against a bottom feeder

Watch his presser , so easy benching frost he said after going 4 games creating the most chances.

It’s personal with this smug f***, the last thing you need when evaluating for 2-3 yrs from now.
(Edit)

 

[Tripod]

When have they ever said that?

They started the season with 5 rookies, Brink, Foerster, Zamula, Andrae and Ersson, Andrae played himself out of a job, Zamula played his way from the top 4 to the 3rd pair.

Laughton and others may still be traded, it's a long season, Laughton has done nothing to reduce his value, and they've bought time to evaluate the rookies and marinate forward prospects at LHV. Starting the season, they didn't know if they had 9 forwards who could start in the top 9.
Briere has been talking to teams about potential trades.

Frost is strange, but at some point we'll have a better idea what's going on.

Nothing has been done this year that endangers the rebuild.

I predicted 80-85 points, that still looks plausible.

Talk is cheap.

They benched each of those rookie D while Risto has missed every game this season. A healthy Risto....and then Staal, and you can bet your ass who was being scratched.

The whole point of trading Laughton last year is that in theory, that draft pick would be ready to help the Flyers sooner. Oh, and then we would not be benching our 2nd best C at the same time.

Frost isn't strange. It's very simple. A power hungry coach has singled him out as his whipping boy and continues to devalue a top 6 forward on this team. Plain and simple.

They still might get a good pick but it's not from rebuilding. it's from building a team they think can be a playoff team, and being wrong due to their shit evaluations.

Christ, if they had it their way, we would have Krug and not Sanheim right now. And we are supposed to trust these buffoons? Yeah right.

 

[JojoTheWhale]

It’s an important distinction that the takes are not everyone is stupid but me. That’s boring. There are always going to be exceptions, but it’s almost always, “Look how stupid everyone is including me.” That matters quite a bit.

I assure you I am an idiot and I know it. Following and caring about this org has become running into a proverbial burning building every day. Some people cope with humor.

 

[bennysflyers16]

I wonder across the NHL , top 6 centers gifted the ice time Cates gets ( PP included ) , how many produce as little as he does points wise ?

Krug >> Sanheim cause DH , Ghosty , Jones , Torts and Briere say so.

Imagine if they had their way and this d core had Staal Krug and Risto every game.

Nothing says rebuild like adding a 36 year old LHD when you have York, Sanheim, Seeler and Zamula already!

Or a 32 year old RW when you have TK, Atkinson, Tippett, Brink, Foerster, Allison at RW.

M O R G A N F R O S T > FROGS NOM RAT

Who does Tortorella resemble? Master Splinter.

What is Master Splinter? That's right. A rat.


Tortorella is afraid of Morgan Frost because he does not want to be consumed by frogs. Mystery solved.

 

[flyersnorth]

I don't think Frost is long for this organization.

Torts does not like him as a hockey player.

A late 1st would seem to be maximum value, but I doubt Frost returns a 1st rounder.

 

[Curufinwe]

Wow, Torts was so desperate for a win he played a rusty Couturier 22:20 - and they still lost to the worst team in the league!

 

[freakydallas13]

"Actually San Jose is not that bad"

Lol. Lmao, even.

You’re not going to get a draft pick for him unless someone sends us a dump. You’ll get a ‘change of scenery’ type.

That makes sense. What would be some good options?

 

[FLYguy3911]

They only have the worst goal differential in the history of the sport.

 

[GKJ]

I would’ve said Nick Robertson but it looks like he’s getting a shot

Could be part of a package deal with Washington - 2024 1st + Mantha for Frost.

The Caps could use a center to set up Ovechkin with Backstrom done.

Not without the Caps getting a bigger fish, I don’t see that.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

You could get any coach to produce these results without Tortorella’s baggage.

 

[wankstifier]

This one hurts the rebuild timeline

 

[macleish1974]

I watched the whole debacle last night too. Except I fell asleep on my sofa with the stereo on repeat.
The album was "Let it Bleed" Rolling Stones, When I did wake up at 5am, this was the the song that was playing...........

Love In Vain.......a Robert Johnson written song.





Loving something or a woman and nothing in return......well...... that is love in vain.....or love in pain.

You can say it is pitiful but under a tyrant that is your dues......say Hey Joe.......what ya doing



I guess your thoughts go to a distant future...ya love in vain.....

Yes truly the team has made no errors in the last half decade. Everything is going according to plan.

You are getting a try hard grinder, most likely another RW.

But you see, Torts owns this rope.....
