They simply will not Fire Torts after blowing him all over the country for the past 3 seasons. They love him, they want to be inside him, they cherish him yelling at Michkov and teaching him to "play the right way" He will not be disrespected by firing him when he announced this is his last coaching gig, they are losing, rebuilding and he took the job knowing that.

Hilf will be fired before torts

Torts telling at Michkov is more important than winning to these people. Why root for a team if the people in charge don't win and can't win? Why root for a team that is actively icing a terrible product?

I see a few posts stating Michkov was not happy? Anything happen to him again this game, like he and Torts yelling at each other?

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

I think Torts will be done in a couple months here. He’s not going to coach on his last year of his contract as he’s said he will never do that again. That’s good news.

The bad news is that they will either promote Lappy or Shaw to fill his position with his recommendation. The “foundation” will continue.

 

[bennysflyers16]

What if we never score another goal this year ?

Love Torts plays a short handed lineup in the altitude.
1Cates line look like an OK 3rd line and they are our top line.
Laughton was BRUTAL

Briere and Torts have ever they want and we’ve never looked worse.

 

[Danko]

This is what is going to happen...

They will continue to suck for the rest of the season,
Risto will be hurt (if not from current injury) from another injury right around TDL.
Perhaps same with Laughton.
Then they will overplay Ers until he breaks down with another injury resulting in another surgery this offseason. They will sign another goalie.
Im sure they continue to clear salary at the TDL and Draft.
They will bundle second rounders to try and move up but will end up actually moving picks back until the following draft.

Your welcome. This is a simulation.

He smashed his stick on the cross bar at the end of the game.

 

[BernieParent]

What side of the puck is that? What does that even f***ing mean? Do we watch other teams with rookies that develop into superstars and just think to be a flyer they have to clog the neutral zone like a toilet?

At least the seat is gone.

Torts probably berated him for this by the way, he hates this.

How is defense harder than offense?

If you do offense well, the play is over quickly. If you do defense well, you can do it well for several minutes at a time.

I feel better.

These new AHL scrubs sure are scrubs.

Seems wild to be we have zero skilled younger guys we could recall ?

 

[MJL66]

This might of been one of the worst f***ing built NHL teams in history. They deserved to get shutout again. How soon until we get all the writers to talk about how the culture is safe and well and that's all that matters?

Here is the issue. If they were actually trying to build a really bad team to tank, okay by design. However, they're not doing that. They've actually been trying to compete. The top team exec just told the STH's that they're building something special here. We're supposed to believe that they're going to be done the "rebuild" in 18 months? That they're actually capable of building something special? LMAO

I watched a movie.

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

What if Tortorella gets the GM gig and Briere is the one who moves to assistant role?

 

[Beef Invictus]

they literally..are making MM into a grinder ...they will grind all the offense out of him

Already have. The playmaking he used to always flash is completely gone. All that remains of creativity are the close-call goal line shots.

I watched a movie.

I kind of did, too. It was the Flyers starring in The Unscoreables.

Brian De Face Palma is one of my favorite directors.

 

[Beef Invictus]

But what about the x/GF? Think about the x/GF for the love of God!!!!

Haha. Speaking of that, I was thinking during the game about how artificially boosted that stat was getting thanks to several shots set up on super short passes that Blackwood didn't even need to move for.

Me too!

According to Jamie Baskow, this was a great game by Flyers

Take your pick, lol.

After Samu and Lycksell, not much.

(And yet these ****ers still play the Bears incredibly tight every damn time)
