Something weird is going on with TDA, while he struggled for a couple games before he was benched, he was actually playing his best hockey by far after the TDL (13g):

CF 49.31%, xGF 58.88%, HDCF 57.32% GF/GA 13-9.

So it's hard to imagine that his play is the reason he was benched.

The guy behind the bench called him lazy so that has something to do with it no matter what the numbers say.

When he gets caught up the ice which is all the time instead of coming back hard he was just dogging it coming back and most of the time . Whether they were scoring on it or not it just shows his attitude . He is a disaster and I hope he is gone .

Hayes gone JVR gone TDA gone Braun gone . That's 20 mil gone off salary , use it to get some one like Ekholm for 6.5 mil for 3 years . Don't replace anyone on forward thru free agency as we still need more rebuilding thru the draft .

Couts Atkinson and Forester will be here next year but I don't see anyone else on forward and possibly big Z on defense . I would also like to see Atkinson moved if he starts playing well next year cause he does not fit the timeline .

Also fire Rocky Thompson and have Briere replace him with his guy so he can push Tort's to implement more progressive offense and get him away with his obsession with hits and block shots .

No one I s pushing Totrs to do anything....especially to be more progressive on offense.

Christ we are talking about a guy who criticized a skill play on National TV, and THEN we hired him. Sometime people are who they show you they are.
It's not like we can't get the tape that shows these things....

I mean I had to get the tape to show Rocky calling out TDA without naming him. Which is the right way to do it as if you name him some in the press will try and go to Tony to stir the pot.

JJ mentioned again that Hayes needed one point to set a career high. But he's on 54, and on these sites he had 55 points (42 + 13) in 18-19. What is Jimbo looking at?

Kev has 3 goals and 9 points in the 23 games since his deserved All-Star appearance.

The Flyers always know when to sell high. I eagerly await how much they’ll eat on his contract. If it’s not in the $2.5-3MM range — with the goal of returning an actual asset — this rebuild talk is just posturing. The less they eat, with the intent to simply dump a contract for “flexibility” and “culture” (*laugh track*), the more they show their lacking of a long term vision.

I'm going to play Devil's advocate here, but what if the Flyers do it right this offseason and being in good hockey executives to reshape the operation? It seems like the guy replacing Scott has subtly fired a shot at the senior advisors in that they will only speak when asked, which to me says either get on board with the direction they're moving in or f*** off. It's a start. I'm guardedly optimistic.

Tortorella doesn't know any of that.

He called them "foundational titans" and lauded their contributions lol. Literally told us "they'll be here as long as I'm a part of this organization". It's not a f***ing start, it's endless oblivion

Remember you asked me about how I became a tenacious Flyers fan? And I talked about the foundation that Ed Snider built. The three folks that were referred to as the “Three Wise Men,” and then others who are involved with us in one way, shape, or form. One — the fact that they are still part of the organization speaks to the vision of Ed Snider to build a family. And it speaks to the vision of Brian Roberts and Comcast, understanding that the past is prologue, and in order to build a bright future, you need to understand your foundational roots. To me, growing up where I grew up, these individuals are the foundational titans — and I use that word, I’m gonna be emphatic about it — the foundational titans of this organization. They will be part of the organization as long as I’m here
