John Tortorella & Danny Briere Flyers end of the season press conference

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

As long as Torts is here Rocky will be to. Kind of like AV and his shit assistant

 

[GKJ]

Told youse Risto was trying to get back

 

[Curufinwe]

This stew is awful! It’s got all sorts of random ingredients that don’t marry well. Bring in a couple more cooks to add some different flavors.

I think it's more of a circle jerk than a crowded kitchen.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Told youse Risto was trying to get back

Yup. He hurt himself training lol

 

[Curufinwe]

Told youse Risto was trying to get back

I believe you. His last game was Feb 10th.

"That's why you don't rush into those decisions. Usually, surgery has to be the last option because there's so many things that can go wrong with that. So if you have a chance to rehab, for the longevity of players, it's just safer to try to rehab."

Circle jerk around the bubbling cauldron of sewage?

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

I thought the thinking around here was makes no sense to spend money on free agency when they are so far away from competing.

Which is fine but they talk about needing talent...

Where is the talent coming from besides a prayer that they can get that type of player drafting mid round? It's not in the pipeline sans Michkov. It's not on the roster at the moment. So what's the plan?

They are hoping that "time" is what gets them what they need.

 

[FlyerNutter]

It’s clear Briere isn’t in charge of shit.

Collaboration.

 

[Curufinwe]

Who was the clown who asked if Hart might be available next season?

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

 

[BernieParent]

Johansen doesn't think that he can play hockey again. Lol.

Consensus achieved.

 

[Beef Invictus]

These people are dumber than rocks.

 

[BigToe]

I'm so tired of these guys. Make it stop.

I could see them trading Frost and whatever to upgrade the C position. I hope they don’t give up on Ersson but I would not be shocked if they did.
I don’t think Atkinson should be back next year but he’s a Torts guy.

 

[BernieParent]

"A trade that makes sense" to them has proven to be a trade that doesn't make sense

"to them" must be included in parentheses because this is the fundamental disconnect. We are looking at completely different objectives and routes to success as the Flyers FO.

Briere loves Ersson. Can't see him going anywhere.

Can Briere be “persuaded” by others in his ear if you know what I mean.

 

[Curufinwe]

DB said he was impressed with how Frost handled the situation

Briere identified several young players and prospects as having made good to great progress over the past season. Interestingly, he singled out Farabee and Cates as not having advanced as much as they had hoped. It was Cates as the second one, right?

He elaborated on Barkey and Bonk as being in the right place to flesh out their games, and even said that Grans stepped up.

 

[BiggE]

Five years away, from being five years away from five years away.

New era my ass. Be a f***ing Flyer.

 

[GKJ]

Johansen will magically get better if he finds out people are interested in him.

 

[FLYguy3911]

In Flahr we trust.

There is something intricately disgusting about knowing they view the Islanders making the playoffs as justification for their "build from the 4th line out" lusts.

 

[Striiker]

Oh good, the locker room is fixed.

Nevermind the fact that they lost eight straight games at the most important part of the season.

They have LITERALLY said this every single year since AV was hired.

 

[nacc BLOCC]

Johansen doesn't think that he can play hockey again. Lol.

damn i read this first as "Johnson doesnt think he can play hockey again" and was like yeah obviously, but nice to have that sort of frankness from the player.
