List his successes in the salary cap era

Lots of wins coaching bad teams. Briere knows more about hockey than anyone on this board, and he thinks he's doing a good job. I will defer to Briere's opinion. But I get it, the Flyers have been bad for a long time under various coaches and managers, and it's frustrating. But the roster is mediocre, and they're probably better off getting decent draft picks over the next couple of years, so I'm ok with Tortorella for now. But in a few years when the roster will hopefully be good enough to progress in the playoffs, I'm ok with replacing the coach if somebody else better is available.

But I'm cooking a nice steak now so can't put too much thought into justifying his performance since the salary cap was put in place.

More losses than wins. He held Vancouver and NY back. He suppresses important NHL skills which is terrible for development. Development should be a priority right now.

He can take a team that is unlikely to score and make it a little less likely they get scored on. It's coward hockey. That's why he gets less out of good rosters. It slightly elevated a bad roster, which is terrible for drafting.

Briere may know a lot about how to play hockey. He's trash at managing hockey right now. Those are distinct things that often have no relationship to each other. This is a guy who thinks Deslauriers is essential. Nobody who holds that opinion can be good at management. He's fresh off fumbling the last trade deadline, the Gauthier situation, and the Buium pick.

Aren't you blaming his GMs? Like the idiot in CBJ.

No, because he's also been given very good rosters who were immediately better when he was fired.

Edit: the GMs can be blamed for hiring him

You can't be cooking a nice steak because you are not a professional chef.

So many wins with bad teams? When he was winning dude had prime Lundqvist and a Ranger team that was not bad. Without an all time great goalie he hasn't gotten out of the 1st rd but once (Bob was not known as a good playoff goalie at that time). His past 9 coached seasons his teams have missed the post season 5 times. He won the cup 20 years ago. Guy is not as good as coach as he was.

And who's responsible for putting together mediocre rosters? That same power structure you defer to who greenlit the hiring of John. So I wouldn't play the appeal to authority card on that one

Frost is playing, he isn’t that dumb.

Andrae comes in for Z. Don’t hate it but Zamula who has been real bad is still better than EJ.

But we need our vet slop

If Andrae is coming in, I'd actually prefer Zamula to sit. One of them would have had to play their offside. Zamula is having a rough go on his natural side and don't want Andrae coming into his first NHL game this season on his offside.

The time to have them both in the lineup was when Seeler was injured... but, of course, we had the privilege of watching a cooked Johnson on his offside...

Is Frost in the lineup confirmed?

Is Frost in the lineup confirmed?

The only line up changes that have been posted are Kolosov and Andrae.

 

[BiggE]

He must of thrown a punch at Torts this afternoon

I’ll bet 100 Grand Zamula lets up 1 goal or more

From the pressbox?

 

[Curufinwe]

So which Anthony on Twitter said Frost was scratched?

I think neither. It was just one of Torts followers here speculating what his furor would do

I hadn’t realized there had yet to be a goalie from Belarus to play in the NHL, considering we’ve had multiple Latvians and Kazakhs, plus briefly had a Lithuanian in the AHL.

 

[PHILOUDELPHIA]

From the pressbox?

I’m home.

I opened up a bag of 100 grand and baby Ruth. Was saving for Halloween but I guess I’ll now have to make an extra trip to cvs

 

[Hanover Fist]

I’ve got the same problem. I raided the holiday candy stash. I was referring to Zamulas location as it’s been reported he is a scratched…..

I can't cook a nice steak as well as a professional chef.

That is false.

 

[Danko]

Just goes to show ya, you throw a hissy fit and no show at rookie and training camp...you to can start in the nhl.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Is giving up on a guy you gave nearly 7 million dollars to, after 3 games, good?

Think this is more of the deal they had to cut to get Kolosov to come over rather then Fedotov. If i recall it was something like they told him he would get nhl games within the first month or two or he would be able to head back to the KHL

I'm more concerned with the middle 6 winger we signed for 8 years and nearly 50 million, but you do you.

Don't forget the middle 6 center we're paying for another 2 years....... while he plays elsewhere.
