Losses by 3 or more goals, Calendar Year 2024- Selected Teams:
The irony here is that of these games the best ones they played were against the better teams. Can’t even be like how Torts says stuff about “finding out who can play these games,” because their worst games are against bad teams.
Yea if only the team had exciting players and had a coach that excelled in offensive creativity they wouldn't have to constantly rely on defense and goaltending to win them games. It's funny how these teams keep beating the Flyers by I don't know uh scoring goals. But that's a no no for John. The flyers don't need goal scorers. The flyers need grinding and hitting and toughness. If they had more 10-12 goal pk specialists they'd have won the cup already no playoffs needed.
Don’t tempt him with a good time.
Yes, great plan to build a team. BUT, we're not exactly loaded with high draft picks and star players we can trade for all that. If it was that simple any GM could do it. Remember the GM loads the team, not the coach.
If you think we've had good goaltending since January I don't think you've been watching the games
Maybe other teams GM's but not the Flyers. Danny B is only here cause he had to sign off on keeping torts and they've talked all season long how torts Jones and briere are gonna shape the team.
Signing Staal, Hathaway and Poehling was unnecessary. When Couts rebounded strong, and Hart played great in his swan song, they overachieved. Could have played the kids, let the Hart thing play out, and finished with a good pick for a 1D.
Obviously bad management. Now we're stuck again hoping Briere and company can put it together.
We don’t have any of those. I don’t think sanheim is a number one on any contender. I don’t think we can count on couturier to be healthy and, frankly, motivated to perform at a number one level which brings into question him even as a number two. I also don’t think the flyers can get out of their own way to allow frost to be consistently a number two center man.
No doubt the organization has been unwise with their money. They need to take a hard look at how they are using their cap space. IMO, it’s being wasted. They should be getting more in return for it when it’s being included in deals. Then, as you say, when they do spend it, spend it more intelligently. Blowing money on Deslauriers, Staal and the like is unacceptable. Those spots could have gone to younger players already in the system.
