[Beef Invictus]

I don't know where else to post this but...

Michael Leighton is now playing in the Flyers Alumni game on Friday.

Tragic.

Michael Leighton is our beloved and respected heritage. Our culture and tradition.

I'll tune in on my stairmaster and report back.

I know this might sound insane. But hear me out! What if a "rebuilding" team played Brink and Lycksell, given the fact they are only using 11 forwards?

I'm going to have to mute you if you continue with these irrational outbursts.

 

[Magua]

We've joked that Kimmo would probably make the best hire of any ex-Flyer in some capacity.......but I mean......

PP coach Kimmo would have a unit of:

Coots​

TK -- Tippett -- Frost​

Defenseman ​

​

"One timers nonstop"! 4 forwards! The most skilled guys in the right spots! Why does Rocky Thompson exist?

PP’s biggest problem was the point.

York & Sanheim weren’t cutting it at the top of the zone.

They’ve been much improved with Drysdale & Zamula.

 

[Magua]

Tortorella's parting advice to Brink: "Don't forget to stir the sauce."

 

[deadhead]

Given Foerster, who is a year younger, is 4th among forwards in TOI, I don't think age is an issue with Torts. He's patient with Foerster's offense, b/c the potential is there, and meanwhile Foerster does all the little things to stay in the lineup. He's 3rd among forwards in xGFrel. Just has to learn to finish and turn that shot into goals.

Brink had a good start then tailed off, not uncommon for a rookie. Torts doesn't sound like he's given up on the kid, just doesn't feel he's NHL ready, especially off the puck.

The Flyers need a LW, this is a chance for Lycksell to grab a steady job in the top 9, though he may be auditioning for a spot after the TDL if a couple forwards are traded. I'd be surprised if Tuomaala comes up for more than a couple games at the end of the season, as good as he's playing at LHV, he's still really raw.

 

[Striiker]

Doesn’t Brink realize he just needs to yell at Torts at practice to get the spot he’s earned?

Torts really is just a dogshit coach and dogshit human being. The fact that people are jerking him off when the team is winning in spite of him is amazing

 

[VladDrag]

The one game they gave Lycksell this year he played like 5 mins.

We’ll see if he gets an actual chance…..

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

I like how Tortorella has created this parameter for himself that he can’t really have Frost & Brink in the lineup at the same time. So whichever one is playing worse goes to the press box for the foreseeable future.

 

[Curufinwe]

I would like to see tweets from people who claimed earlier this season that Frost deserved his treatment from Torts and that if he had just played and produced like Brink, he wouldn't have been healthy scratched so much.

Well there’s no contradiction. Brink needs to now produce like Frost to stay in the lineup.

The Deslauriers bar obviously isn’t the one that anyone needs to surpass.

#Rebuilding..


hahaaa... imagine thinking this Org. is even capable of understanding the idea let alone executing it properly..

Don't act dumb, most people know there's no chance of him playing more than 6 minutes, with 5 of those minutes being with dumb and dumber on the 4th line

But how will they develop character without undergoing pointless futility? This is great demoting. Brink will grow muscles on his hair now.

 

[BringBackFletcher]

Really not following what torts is perceiving as bad in Brink's game that he has to be sent down. Really stupid.

No space on the roster. Duh!
