Hoping Johnny G has a 5 point night then launches his stick like a Wakanda spear towards Fletcher's suite. Go Jackets.

There's reason to be concerned with what happens when Brown and Anisimov can play.

Concerned? It's already a lock. Frost's days under Torts are numbered. He'll be traded by next summer for another f***ing scrub.



Still using a 4th line winger as 2C while their 2nd best Center slots in behind him. Classic.

"Dammit, Morgan, why the **** aren't you scoring?"
He should have been playing with Farabee from day 1. Instead, let's give Cates the Laughton and Farabee duo and stick Frost with two AHLers.

Brilliant strategy if you're looking to have the team score fewer than 2 goals a game. Bang up job, assholes.

Unintentionally brilliant for our Bedard odds though. Hope they keep it up!

It also flies in the faces of Tortorella saying earlier that Frost is a scorer so he needs to score (paraphrasing), unlike the others who are good if they show effort.

The combination of Fletcher, Tortorella, and this Roster has to be the low point in the Flyers storied history. It can never be worse than this. I don't wanna see any "hold my beer memes" either. IT CAN NEVER GET WORSE THAN THIS.

I just don’t know why it’s hard to have laughton-frost-farabee as a line. Especially when you are at the bottom of the league in scoring.

That management is okay with this putrid evaluative sample, playing with only sub-NHLers, tells you they never cared for a real evaluation in the first place. It's developmental misconduct of the highest magnitude. Surprised Hayden Hodgson isn't on his wing honestly. More to evaluate Hodgson.

Lol, Frost detectors btfo. What has Cates done to deserve being the 2C for this long exactly?

For Torts, results don't actually matter. He just "likes the way he plays." Same with Seeler.

Unfortunately for the Flyers, the things Torts likes in players does not equate to on-ice success in the year 2022. It's some vague combination of looking like you're trying really hard, making safe plays, engaging in physical battles, so on and so forth.

In short, he's a washed up jurassic jerk-off.

Yes, they should probably promote Sedlak.

Cates and Frost have about equal success this year offensively, and they've played with similar forwards.

Sedlak has outplayed both of them on the 4th line, now, how much is being sheltered on the 4th line, and how much is playing on the 1st line in the KHL for three years elevated his skill package?

Does make me curious how far Vorobyev has progressed in the KHL, he's playing at a much higher level this season than two years ago. Just shows that marinating players in the minors (where they can play top minutes) can aid their development.

You keep saying players should play on merit, are you contradicting yourself?
