GDT: #36 | Flyers at Ducks | Saturday, December 28, 2024 | 4:00 PM | NBCSP, 97.5 FM

[Curufinwe]

Today may be the last straw for me fellas.

40 + years.

Don’t do it!

Oh you just meant you’re gonna stop watching the Flyers play. That’s fine.

 

[tymed]

Solid post-break road win for the lads.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Not impressed. The Ducks are a bad team and it took a fluke goal for the win.
Torts treatment of Michkov is a joke

 

[Gregor Samsa]

So what’s going on with Michkov? I haven’t been able to watch games recently but he’s in a pointless funk after a red hot stretch. I do worry a bit about his stamina as he’s played like 40 games a year the last few seasons.

Also Cates has been consistently getting on the scoreboard lately. Might just be a nice stretch but maybe he’s got more than what we thought. Most people wrote him off as a young defensive player but he’s had some offense lately

 

[Pet Charles]

What’s the deal with the de facto benching of Michkov? Torts being Torts, I assume.

Hilarious if you think Gauthier cares for a second he snubbed this dog shit org, this game is proof he made the right choice

How is this game proof he made the right choice?

 

[Danko]

I will say, I thought Torts was gonna take Michkov out of the lineup after last game. Has to be the accumulation of the previous game and the turnover in the 2nd (which lead to nothing by the way)

 

[Hanover Fist]

Only thing I saw was his turnover. Someone else says they saw him mouthing off on the bench...I didn't see that.

Looked like he was hollering down the bench a somebody

 

[bennysflyers16]

Don’t do it!

Oh you just meant you’re gonna stop watching the Flyers play. That’s fine.

Today I was truly rooting for the Ducks. I hate Torts more than any other Flyer by a mile

MM is the only joy this team brings , and he has no shot here

 

[sbhnur]

There is only accountability with certain players.

Here's the problem within the system.

Look at the treatment of a superior prospect, why would he wanna put up with that bullshit?

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

Once again it must be said, Owen Tippett has less hockey sense than a potato

How does his hockey sense compare to Drysdale though? Is that something our higher ups focus on when trading for a roster player?

 

[bennysflyers16]

Torts hates his style of play
Torts HATES that he steals attention from him.

Jones and Briere are the true villains

 

[HeadLiceHatty]

They both have extremely low hockey IQ, both can skate, that’s it. Both can get to spots, then look completely confused and lose the puck.

 

[BillDineen]

MM barely touches the puck in the ozone on the pp or even strength. 1pp is a disaster with Drysdale. Even strength Tippett has blinders on and was never suited to play with MM. Frost isn't trusted defensively along with MM, so they are quick to get limited ice. Today Tippett was bumped up to 1rst line to get him going. MM isn't in a position to succeed at all

 

[Danko]

Drysdale through a backwards play in the neutral zone to Michkov at 12:15ish in the second, puck bounced off his stick as his stick was behind him and the Drysdale pass was unexpected...after that he went back to the bench, JJ says he slammed his stick against the boards, looks like Torts says something to him and then I dont recall them playing him after that

 

[Coffe]

I do wonder who Jones will choose when MM wants out ? I think he chooses Torts.

It will be Torts making the choice. His only way is up in this organisation.

 

[BillDineen]

Frost did choose to center to sanheim in the slot when he was covered by 3 guys instead of an open MM behind the net, but I think that was earlier. Maybe he yelled at Rocky

 

[HeadLiceHatty]

Bench the most talented player on the team because he was frustrated about a pass. Yeah Torts is the guy to lead the team Lmaoo.

And that play was all on golden child Drysdale.

Cuttters choice was justified today and someone ban Deady please

I remember he benched Tippett once last year because he came to the bench with his stick over his head after missing a shot. He's a prick.

 

[Pet Charles]

Oh, that. Ok.

I guess it’s just that I have little charity for Cutter Gauthier, mostly because he never cared to address the very fair question of why he ghosted the team and demanded the trade. If it’s reasonable (or even if it’s not!) to hold thoughts both that CG deserves whatever criticism he gets and Torts is, to put a point on it, the wrong coach for a team in this team’s situation, that’s where I’m at.

Why does he have to tell us why he didn't want to play here?

He doesn't. It's none of our business

The likely answer is Tortorella. He's hated amongst the league

Beat out Babcock on a player poll for most hated coaches in the league.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

I’m just so tired.

It’s none of your business why I think he should address why he did what he did.

He’s a professional hockey player. He can address it, even if he channeled Crash Davis in doing so. Stop babying him.
