  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
    • Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

Would be great if one of the spineless media members actually took them to task for their loyalty to Lappy.
 
Lappy will never coach for the Flyers.
I suspect his job is to "hand hold" prospects while the assistant coaches do the real work.

It'll be interesting to see what happens in Pittsburgh if their age finally catches up to them - if Sullivan is fired, he may come here as a "special advisor" until his contract plays out, and be Torts' replacement.

It's quite obvious that Laperriere will be eventually replacing Tortorella as HC

Don't see Torst giving his ok for that to happen.

That would be a very dumb approach.

Why. Most "coaching" in terms of development is done by assistant coaches and other personnel.
If Lappy isn't a great strategist, who cares?
The purpose of the AHL team is to develop players.

Anything to back this up at the AHL level? Then why have a head coach?

Flyers are not very good at that now, are they?

Pretty sad how irrelevant the Flyers and their loyalty to Laperriere has made the Phantoms.

No kidding. As a kid I loved when the Bears played the. Adirondack red wings…grew up in upstate ny. That Calder cup final still burns in my memory. Tim Tookey, Hextall in net … what a series. I was rooting for the wings as they were our local team but knew the bears were Flyers affiliate.

That wings team had Probert, basil mc rae, Barry melrose and I think Adam Oates was there at that time

All with playing AHL vets over the younger players. If they could get away with having a team full of AHL veterans they would do it.

There's a limit to how many veterans you can play in the AHL.
And you want some veterans, especially at center and on defense, to help prospects develop.
Not much good being a shooting winger (Tuomaala) if you have to play with a center with limited skill.

I can't get excited over Lappy, one way or another.

If the AHL call-ups look like they're well coached (talent is another issue, but nothing AHL coaching can mend), I'm happy. Don't care who's responsible, as long as the product is fine.

I'm happy they added Richard and Rizzo, b/c players like Tuomaala and Gendron will have a center who can make plays, and the team is faster than last season. They'll start adding more prospects next season, when the 2023 draft is AHL eligible. Right now they don't have enough legitimate prospects in LHV that you have to worry about their PT.

Even if that's your suspicion, in your quest to absolve the Flyers of all blame in everything they do, it's a terrible idea

Sorry I don't defend everything a team has done while missing the playoffs 5/6 years.

Does Lappy even have a style of play? Its looked like pond hockey with the Phantoms whenever I have seen them play. The guys get their names called; they go over the boards and do whatever they pretty much want.

The Flyers don't care. As long as he talks about defense being the most important thing they'll allow him to become their scapegoat
