2024-25 Roster Thread #2: Midseasonnar

[FlyerNutter]

They were more promising when they had Giroux, Couturier, Voracek, Schenn, and Simmonds.

Hutterite colonies are more exciting than this “core”.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Here's the comp:

 

[SnS]

Pathetic.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Making sure less people watch the garbage displayed on the ice. Seems fool proof.

 

[Flyerfan4life]

That ticket increase in the email is personalized so everyone is different.

I've seen $17 and also $3 so far.

#beaf***ingFlyer....

I would not pay more to watch this team, and I don't pay anything at all

^^^this...

 

[ponder719]

The true reason they won't tank and are happy to just make the playoffs - Comcast wants butts in seats.

Butts in seats? meh. (I do not know why the smilies and other controls don't work on this computer, but they don't, so imagine an appropriate smily there)

Bucks in seats?

 

[MJL66]

How many of those trades involved a 1st or 2nd rd draft pick or the equivalent?
Trading one scrub for another or for a 6th rd pick, ho hum.

You're such a fraud. Remember your statement of "its the cumulative effect of all moves"? Only when it fits your narrative.

I mean, they could have saved a lot of time and just said:
Dear Fan,

God Emperor Tortorella commands you to bend over and take it up the ass yet again.
Sincerely,
Dan Hilferty, Head Minion

Missing the playoffs 5 straight years is not easy. If it was, everyone would do it. Now shut up and pay up!

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

All that success since 2010. No wonder they are raising ticket prices.

 

[BillDineen]

Flyers' valuation has ballooned from 800mm to 2.3b since 2019 as well

 

[trostol]

I've still never been to the Fargo lol

[trostol]

None of that means much..eye test tells me they do play with some intensity..but they ultimately play a boring safe style and if they are in the lead in the 3rd they go into a shell

Flyers on season: overall
Gonna miss the playoffs, again
But gonna finish high enough to pick in the 10-15 range and miss out on elite talent
Have zero elite talent in the pipeline
Are coached by an out of touch narcissist who has a clueless buffoon running his pp
Are managed by a weakling who is overseen by a cheerleader and a fanboy
Working on a 2nd decade of failure & irrelevancy

See, we can play too

If you're playing a good team, with the lead in the 3rd period, they pay the other guys, too.

That is, the team that's behind tends to dominate play b/c they're willing to take more chances, we saw that against the Devils, Flyers got a number of odd man rushes b/c the Devils were pressing the issue in the O-zone.

Flyers are 3rd in scoring, 5th in high danger chances the last 30 games. That's boring?
Since Ersson returned, and is playing above average, they've been on a roll.

Have you watched them? I believe you admitted you do not..yes they are boring

 

[deadhead]

I watch every game.

I wouldn't call them boring (except when they play the Isles), frustrating yes, too many prime scoring chances that go nowhere, either they make one too many passes, or force passes into crowds, et.

But they generate a lot of odd man rushes, and excel at stealing the puck on the forecheck and setting up scoring chances. If you find that boring . . .

Yes, they're boring. Majority of their games are like watching paint dry. Boring hockey that lacks creativity and excitement. Filled with boring ass tight checking absent of any offensive design.

 

[FlyerNutter]

You miss VdV and Manning that much?

Sometimes the VDV’s, Laughton’s, York’s, Cates, and Seelers blend together.

Looks like Kolosov won't be back any time soon.

Cute stats that show how tight the league is mean jack shit when the team is tied for 2nd worst in the league in Regulation Wins. 3 RW above the worst team. 51 games in and less than 1/3 won in regulation. You'd think they'd know that they are going no where and would be looking to sell instead of the trash we heard from Danny. We'll only make a move with Laughton/Risto if it makes sense. Culture and Torts Pets above improving the odds of getting something worth while. Trade them get picks then bundle picks to move up and target talent. Not every move has to be the total answer.

 

[Curufinwe]

The Flyers are 14th in a 16 team conference

Tied for 29th in regulation wins
