Torts also made it clear that Johnson won't be playing, he's talked with him and Johnson understands his role is as a mentor in the clubhouse and injury insurance but if there's a serious injury, they'll look at LHV players before him.

He was only given a contract so he could be paraded out and celebrated for 1000 games, just like Keith Yandle was only given a contract because of the Iron Man Streak, and then he was also promptly benched.

But, hey, we were told there would be no more gap-filling ''felt bad for ya'' veteran contracts, right? This team says one thing and then does the opposite.

 

[deadhead]

They're not playing Johnson, Torts even said kids from LHV will play ahead of him, same with DeLo.
They're primarily here for road trips, where if you have an injury you just can't call up a kid from LHV and have him show up the next day.
Flyers don't need the cap room, they have more than enough at the TDL to make any move they want to make.

Not sure Gauthier shoots well enough to score 3 goals from 20+ feet.

FLYERS LINEUP

Lycksell is IN
Farabee OUT


DUCKS LINEUP

Cutter Gauthier

GDT SONG




This is all you're getting too busy for anything more I'll leave the rest to you people​

I’d say, hey what is he doing to that duck but we don’t kink shame.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

When does Farabee ask to be moved out of Philadelphia?

Seed was already planted last year when his agent got involved.

Who's his agent you ask? Gauthier's.

Weird.

 

[Flybynite]

Just want to beat Anaheim, we have their 2nd.
Lose to teams we don't own picks.

They're going to struggle to win games until and if the goalies turn it around.
When you have the worst goalie play in the league by a sizeable margin . . .

So you think moving from 6th worst record to 9th worst record by winning is worth it if the Anaheim second pick moves up 1 spot.

Yeah, because I can't root for them to lose, but I can prefer they lose to good teams after a good fight than lose to a bad team and improve their draft position. Losing to bad teams means players are regressing, losing to good teams in close games means they're not as far from being competitive.

Odds are no one they pick at 6 or 7 will help this team as much as current players improving.

Oh

Not wanting to pick higher because of honour is stupid and the reason this team will never win anything.

 

[Magua]

I agree that picking 6th overall isn’t important. 6th overalls can turn into Jamie Drysdale. I’d rather see if Cates can set a new career high in goals. You know, the important stuff. They're already playing like a Stanley Cup contender at 5 on 5.

 

[kudymen]

Odds are no one they pick at 6 or 7 will help this team as much as current players improving.

How about trading all the picks away? Not worth the gamble.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

I truly don't understand how anyone can look at this roster and think that it's anything more than a few decent NHL players. It's baffling.

 

[Adam Warlock]

I doubt they'll spend much energy on Gauthier, given his play, I doubt most fans even know who he is other than he forced a trade.

Lycksell playing is far more interesting.

Torts is benching Farabee, he was clear it's not putative, he really likes how Farabee has played most of the season, he's been involved in the offense even though he hasn't scored, but he's been in a funk the last couple weeks.

They want to take a look at Lycksell, Torts says he's been quicker in practice.
Won't surprise me if he stays in the lineup and they rotate through other forwards sitting the next couple weeks.

Torts also made it clear that Johnson won't be playing, he's talked with him and Johnson understands his role is as a mentor in the clubhouse and injury insurance but if there's a serious injury, they'll look at LHV players before him.

You doubt theyll spend much energy at Gauthier?? Do you know this fanbase?

Every Flyers fan I know...even casual ones...had Jan 11th circled on their calender. Flyer fans went to his college games just to boo him. He will be booed all night. They live for this shit.

Normally would be a fun game if it werent for the fact that Gauthier really isnt the villian here.... he just had the balls to call the Flyers out on their shitty development.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Just put a few bucks on horrible odds that Gauthier scores a goal and two goals plus.

 

[Curufinwe]

This has “tweet that could appear in a lawsuit one day” energy

It’ll be fun if he turnstiles Drysdale for a goal

 

[Beef Invictus]

The Flyers crusade against a young player because they screwed up is impossible cringey

 

[bennysflyers16]

Torts ending Farabees iron man streak is such a Torts move. All while multiple slop pets never miss a beat.

 

[tictactoe]

The game wont be the same without Joel. What are we to do?
