I've re-watched that one and I'm not sure why Tortorella is going nuclear on Brink. Brink started as the high guy on the other side. Lycksell drifted aimlessly when he was closer; both defense got sucked to the far post. I guess he could've gotten there with more urgency but play already broke down and it would've required him to make a high level play bailing out the others.

I think he was mad at Brink not closing out at the point as well as him not getting down to help on the wrap? Not exactly sure though.

Tortosaurus rex screaming at Brink. Back to Allentown I suppose. More Deslauriers please!

Why was not he screaming at Poehling? Is it because he is on the "chosen line". I guess now we get to see a burned out Atkinson.

How in all of his Dino f*** is that Brinks fault ??

Devils win tonight is going to be MASSIVE

I've re-watched that one and I'm not sure why Tortorella is going nuclear on Brink. Brink started as the high guy on the other side. Lycksell drifted; both defense got sucked onto the same side. I guess he could've gotten there slightly quicker but play already broke down and it would've required him to make a high level play.

Maybe he’s mad at the extremely lazy closeout? That’s all I can think. Cause what happened on the wraparound certainly isn’t on him.

so much fun to see Flyers handle the Caps

Someone had to be blamed and he was the youngest one on the ice, which is Tortorella's number 1 criteria

What a terrible period my god. Closer to selling maybe?

 

[GKJ]

Brink might be on a bus back to Allentown before the end of the game

Deslo rocked by noted pugilist Max Pacioretty

So this is what they mean when they say having ND on the ice prevents cheap shots against skilled hockey player.

Torts getting emotional on a youngster when the entire team took a shit that period. Keep your shit together, you're supposed to be the adult

 

[eramosat]

on the caps broadcast, there is no explanation for the goal, and no footage of any screaming.

now I have watched a few replays, there is some scrambly going on. should brink have gone lower to prevent the wrap-around? probably, as non-one else could have defended the great chance. but his linemates made it a horrible scramble. who knows if that is a normal move in the Flyers defensive posture.

I would expect some vets to stand up for Brink. That 2nd period was just a slow burn for Torts, decent play but still 3 goals against.

Extend the D men
Miss the playoffs

LFG hope Walker gets his 5 years from these f***s

Well they are behind 3-2. if they dressed Atkinson instead of Brink its 2-1

That’s all he’s got. He will be jerking off to Seeler coming to his boos aid , that was his highlight of the period.

Morgueanti and Hartnell placing complete blame on Brink for Carlson's goal. Shocker

 

[Magua]

Friendly reminder: Brink and Frost have the best 5v5 goal percentages on the Flyers and Deslauriers/Hathaway/Atkinson have the worst. That's not descriptive, but coaches are the ones who obsess over results above all.

Captain Coots gonna go over to Torts and be like “don’t bench him, just move him down to the 4th line with me as his punishment. Besides, Nic deserves some top 6 minutes”

we'll see what happens. overall, Torts has been effective...and good for this squad.

yeah, it kinda went sideways. somehow still in control but losing just a few more important puck battles which BOOM went in the net,

 

[usahockey22flyers]

going in scramble mode and expecting Bobby Brink to bail you out on the post…lol

 

[bennysflyers16]

Brink had to cover all 5 Caps there.

One thing is for certain , if Frost and Brink were out of the lineup the Flyers are winning this game.

 

[Strawberry Fields]

Carberry puts Lapierre on line one with Ovi.

Torts with Brink:

did they really do that? simpleton MFs if so...but it is TV, and TV demands immediate explanations!!!!

I expect the coach to be more intelligent, and to appreciate Brink is far from being the most responsible Flyer for that one.

 

[bennysflyers16]

did they really do that?

The authentics will lap up anything they are fed. Blame this loss on kids, give vets extensions , it’s the Flyer way.
