Seeing people whine about "board regulars" always cracks me up. No matter the site

Well good for the tank....however I am not happy when Michkov is not getting points....he is the funnest part of this season.....and I agree....it might be a good time to let Torts go but who do we replace him with?

Rocky, so they tank even harder and he gets jettisoned from the franchise at the end of the season.

When is enough? The PP coach is a nightmare. At the bottom of ranking again. Four straight years and our PP still sucks. Take into consideration that includes pulling the goalie at the end of a game. When we have the man advantage we play pass the puck until we turn it over Consider the Devils are operating at a 30%, But even just being in the middle of the pack in the last four years would make us competitive. I cringe when we get one of our meager PP as it is. The plan does nothing but make turnovers and opportunities for our opponents. We're talking about a professional Sports Team thats floundering and when can't get this clown fired and get someone better. No other business would tolerate this incompetence.

We've managed to find a way to make every single result annoying, all season.

We lose to start with which is never a good start, but at least the tank appears to be on... but then they win a few games to destroy the tank but are getting close to the point where you think we're a play-off challenger... but then they start to lose again which drags us back out of the picture but hey... the tank is back on... until they start winning again.

Moronic management, with the 13th overall pick the Flyers take... nobody of note.

They've added real and direct cross Ice passes which is an upgrade. They somehow don't create shots for anyone, but it's an alteration

The upgrade you're seeing is due to Michkov's presence, not anything the coaches have decided to do differently.

Do you remember in the offseason the Flyers (pretty sure Briere) said they'll be consulting almost everyone and anyone in the organization for PP help, because Thompson and Torts suck so much at that aspect of the game and don't know what they're doing?

That is literally the reddest flag possible an assistant coach could hold... yet the Flyers wave a green flag in front of that moronic shitbird Rocky Thompson and have been riding his tail feathers all the way to the bottom of the league in PP% for the 3rd year in a row now.



Accountability. What's that? Accountability. Not quite yet.
...
I don't wanna think about it we'd be better off without it...

This is a rebuilding team (no, it's not tanking), and like young teams, it's very inconsistent.
The schedule has never changed (2027-28) just because Michkov came over early.
Get used to this, one good game, one bad game through at least next season and maybe 2026-27.

1) haven't stabilized the goalie, Ersson/Kolosov, Fedotov? Bjarnason and Zavragin in the wings
2) need centers, Couts is a LW now, Frost and Cates still unproven
3) defense in flux

One reason Andrae is sitting is they have to figure out what to do with Zamula.
If they trade Risto, it won't be until at least the TDL.
Zamula is out of options, and he'll be claimed if waived.

They're not rebuilding.

They’re in the thick of it with a bunch of old broken teams. It’s the only way they can stay in the thick of it.

Ersson was not very good. He made a few nice stops, but at least two goals were ones he should have had.

Zamula thinks the game too slowly.

Am I imagining things, or has Sanheim's game declined since York has been back as his partner? What do the analytics show? He seems way less effective and less confident/aggressive in his playing since York has returned.

Tippett scored a great goal, nice to see the team at least keep fighting the whole game.
