GDT: #64 | Flyers at Lightning | March 9, 2024 | 7:00 PM | NBCSP

[Juicy Pop]

no

VdV alone makes that invalid

 

[3mFlyers]

Who is worse, Stall or Yandle?

 

[bennysflyers16]

We’re playing 5 D… probably 3 when you take Johnson and Staal out of it. What do you expect?

The team to carry 7 D on road trips and also to start 6 D every game. Not a big ask imo

 

[1865]

Just checking in....why are only 5 dmen playing?

Flu. Which probably explains the performance.

 

[mja]

Such a bold take comparing a veteran Stanley Cup team vs a team on its first year of a rebuild.

Again, the Flyers are overacheiving and games like this are going to happen...I'd rather enjoy the ride than be a permanent Negadelphian.

This overachieving narrative needs to die a fiery death. They're a mediocre team that's in danger of letting their playoff spot slip away. As I vocally feared at the beginning of the season, Torts has been able to squeeze enough wins out of this roster to put them in the worst place imaginable: the middle. But I'm glad you're enjoying the ride, just go ahead an ignore any signs that the ship is about to implode like that Titan submersible and you should be fine.

So what place should the Flyers be on their first year of a rebuild?

1st overall?

Rebuilding teams don't ink Seeler to a 4 year contract or trade actual assets for washed vets. They don't hang onto trade chips like Laughton that could yield higher end assets like early round picks.

They inexplicably sent down Ginning after the Johnson trade and only took 6 defensemen to Tampa...then Zamula got sick on game day.

They chose to. Zamula was sick yesterday and they forgot to recall a D man. Plus than maybe Nicky D or Cambo would have had to be scratched.

There’s flu in the camp. They iced who they could, it’s shit but it happens.

Pretty sure he was sick yesterday.

So they don’t understand how the flu works ?
We played 7 D all year but chose to take 6 only on a road trip. Seems smart

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

With the ejection, is TORTS allowed to talk to the team during intermission, or is he supposed to be gone gone?

I am 99% sure that the official language reads "ordered to the dressing room" for a coaching staff member or player who is ejected. Thus, what happens in there is no business of the officials.

 

[Hextallent63]

Who is worse, Stall or Yandle?

I think I said it the other night but f*** Yandle, Staal at least tries,

 

[BigToe]

[bennysflyers16]

Torts is up with Jones and Briere patting each other on their backs.

I think I said it the other night but f*** Yandle, Staal at least tries,

The worst part is we always have to have a D man to discuss this about.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Washington up 4-0 against Chicago, they could get more in the race after tonight. They’ll be at 69 points in 62 games (Flyers 74 in 65) if both results hold.

[Deadpool8812]

[tymed]

The Poehling or Laughton line?

[bennysflyers16]

There’s another broken ankle.

Yeah Benny it's pretty freaking crazy

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

That might be a broken foot.

 

[mr4tno]

Tortorella's legacy broken ankles/feet. Don't know why he prefers blocking shots to possessing the puck

 

[bennysflyers16]

That might be a broken foot.

Tampa feed it looked like direct to ankle.

Gives Torts and the authentics an excuse now.

 

[Mickey the mouse]

Who got hit in the foot ?
