This game was not a showcase for the sport, that's for sure. What a slog. Bring back fun.

I've seen how this works. He offers the explanation, and then he gets scourged for speaking out instead of following the usual code of silence

He owes you and anyone else literally nothing.
You’re being babied here by demanding an answer and expecting one.

We have plenty of bits of info to put together a good guess.
Flyers broke their promise to him, and also hired a disaster of a coach. They costed him money and via their offense-smashing hire, were standing to suppress future earnings too.
Guy looked out for his career. He's got a right to do that. The Flyers should learn some lessons and stop delighting in treating players like shit. Make themselves a desirable place to be again.
The biggest indictment on the post-Snider Flyers is that they're no longer a place that players want to go. Fire everyone and hit reset.

He has said “they did a number of things that I didn’t like.”
Us of all people know that this organization has done countless dumbass things and that’s just the things we know about.
Why anyone that follows this team this closely would blame a player for not wanting to be here is beyond me.
WE don’t wanna be here.

It’s not “speaking out” if you’re answering a question.
I have no idea what this “code of silence” is. It’s hockey, not the SEALs or La Cosa Nostra.

Please be nice to Cutter everyone
Nah f*** that. Be mean to him.
It's still the Flyers who botched the whole thing.

Yes it is.
And you're really unfamiliar with the NHL, then. They act like it's the Mafia.

What I can say is that I miss watching Flyers team with Giroux, Voracek, Simmonds, Hartnell, regardless of results back then.

Doesn't really matter anyway. Wouldn't have changed a thing. Would've just been fingerpointing followed by more fingerpointing.
I've made up my mind about him anyway.
So is Cates actually playing better lately? Or is this just a hot stretch that won’t last for him?

Compared to whatever the hell this is the last few years? Hell yes, and even I was starting to bang the rebuild drum back then.
The Flyers have Matvei Michkov, and a bunch of secondary bullshit throughout the rest of the lineup. Konecny as well, sure I guess.
Comcast is slightly above Pegula tier. Joy.

SELL THE DAMN TEAM
I miss the team with Howe, Kerr, Propp, Tocchet, Poulin, Lindbergh, McCrimmon and the rest of that group. They were fun to watch and had a lot of success.
Mid 80s games at the Spectrum rocked!

I cannot imagine giving a single shit about Gauthier either way a year later. This topic will probably bring out the weirds until the end of time.

In 1967 I was 6 years old, still remember watching the Flyers with my dad. Now I root for them to be embarrassed. Only way it'll get better is if it burns to the ground.

He has been fed a few S-tier chances and finished on them; benefitting largely from the playmaking and efforts of others, and given his past he isn't likely to continue finishing, but he's doing great at it right now.

Yea 5 goals on 9 shots. Most likely not sustainable but his line has unfortunately been the best offensively lately. Only one consistently generating chances
What does that mean? What did I “demand?” How am I being “babied?” Do you want to give it another shot?
Does Torts owe you and anyone else anything? What about Briere? Why are you so arbitrary in who is accountable in the context of fans and the people who play/manage the game and who is not? Do you operate the way Gauthier has with people you’re in a relationship with? I don’t.
Note we have no idea whether any of this (the first three paragraphs) is accurate because Gauthier hasn’t explained himself.
