GDT: #6 | Capitals at Flyers | Tuesday, October 22, 2024 | 6:00 PM Frenzy Time | ESPN

[bennysflyers16]

Laughton is back but Des is playing anyway. Took TyFo’s spot……

That washed up POS was always playing tonight vs the Caps. Our coaches are so f***ing dumb.

 

[Flyer lurker]

Your reminder that this is all Tyson's and Cout's and Jett's fault tonight.

Not the coach
Not the d
not the front office

Somewhere Torts is saying in his best scooby doo villian voice "If it wasn't for you kids, I would have gotten away with it."

 

[Flyerfan4life]

I didn't ask for that. The Machine added it on its own volition. I don't think I've ever copied an image that fast

its a homage to meatpig..

jersey on backwards, playing with broken stick...

 

[GKJ]

I don't have a problem in principle with Luchanko not playing with a back to back, though he should be playing the home game instead of the road game, but Forester should not be not playing. Of course, whenever he gets going, they'll act like this is why it worked.

 

[Boocowski]

Young Russian Machine meets Old Russian Machine. We have a good chance as long as broken Russian Goalie Machine isn't in the net.

 

[WolfOfBroadStreet14]

Wonder how long of a leash Torts has this year.

 

[Beef Invictus]

It's a betting man's wet dream tonight @Beef Invictus how many cents should we bet?

Dozens!

 

[PHILOUDELPHIA]

I never knew during the sex question you could pick OK

164 games, minimum.

Torts gonna Torts
While Briere plays Nero and fiddles away

This organization is a dumpster fire

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

The whole f***ing management adores him. He will last this whole season. He will be with management next year.

[Danko]

Meh on Luchenko sitting, I'd send him down.

Foerster though, that's a decision.

 

[AndHeMissedTheNet]

Is it bad that the moment i found out about the Foerster healthy scratch, i immediately thought of this board?

 

[deadhead]

I think Foerster is a bit beat up, this may be just giving him a breather.

Deslauriers is going to play every 5th to 10th game just to keep him sharp, that's pretty standard for your veteran backups. But so much for those who said he'd be blocking anyone.

If they were looking for a center, I'd talk to Buffalo about Laughton.
They need a kick start.

 

[Adam Warlock]

Tippett was the guy to sit and send a message. Hes been terrible.

...but hes one of the untouchables.

 

[Curufinwe]

Wonder how long of a leash Torts has this year.

He's already in full panic mode

 

[Flyerfan4life]

100%...

 

[Rich Nixon]

I've been trying to guess how bad the Flyers would have to be through 10 or 15 games for Torts to get sacked. I'm thinking 3-10-2 or something like that might do it.

He is actively blocking anyone sitting right now. This team doesn't give a shit about players being banged up. They're scared shitless of Wilson. It's that simple and sad.

They could finish 8-70-4, with Tortorella in the press box every game after January, and the team narrative would still be spun in his favor.

One would hope, but I don’t see it. There would have to be a full on implosion, like a 15 game losing streak, to see them get rid of him. Torts has been vocally tempering things too, (inwardly he wants playoffs) but he’s smart enough to realize the team is still shit and he can rely on that/low expectations to keep him around longer.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Maybe Briere told Torts to knock his shit off.

Torts said two years ago it would probably take 5-6 years (longer than his contract).
This year he downplayed any talk of POs in TC.

He's not relying on low expectations, he created them because he couldn't call this a playoff team with a straight face.

It's pretty obvious they're 2-3 years away, the time it'll take for the 2025 draft to arrive and the players in the pipeline to fill out the LHV roster and push for bottom six/3rd pair jobs.

They're not trying to tank, they're just not doing anything that would prevent that outcome.

To them it's win-win, young players step up, they're closer to their goal and don't care they draft 20th, young players don't step up they have a great draft.
