Confirmed with Link: Morgan Frost and Joel Farabee traded to Calgary for Andrei Kuzmenko, Jakob Pelletier, 2025 2nd, 2028 7th

Flyers: Get doubled up in shots by a bottom of the league team

Authentics: Look at that CULTURE, baby!

They finally SCORED!

Like seriously? We serious here?

 

[pit]

3 games in:
F + F - 2 goals since trade (2 points)
Flyers - 2 goals since trade (1 point in the standings)



Eventually the Flyers will pull ahead in goals, but how many games will it take?

We should compare F + F ice team/ output vs the entire Flyers roster for the rest of the season. That would be horriblefun.

The bar is so damn low lol.

I'm the most dramatic here, but we are at the lowest we have been in a very long time, and it gets worse everyday.

 

[04hockey]

has Kuzmenko or Pelletier shown up yet ?
WTH is the hold up ? ..... maybe they're in Gitmo, or mixed up with the illegals ??

On the bright side, from an entertainment standpoint, we will have TORTS vs Kuz for the rest of the year.

From what I've read, Kuz's playstyle is the antithesis of everything TORTS believes in. And at the same time, he's supposed to have a kind of goofy, happy go lucky personality. Always smiling and having fun. So it's basically a real life Spicoli vs Mr Hand situation.

Cross-posting from the thread where I posted the explainer I found:

GDT: Post in thread '#55 | Flyers at The "Utah" | Tuesday, February 4, 2025 | 9:00 PM UFO Time | NBCSP, 93.3 FM'

Tuesday at 9:18 AM

Here's two pathetic key takeaways:

Deslaurier is healthy and DB has been waiting to put the paperwork through to get him off IR.

The Flyers continue to pay for the newly acquired Kuzmenko and Pelletier, but unsure if they'll arrive in time to practice or play.

Seriously though, wtf is the hold up? Please no one say, "Visa issues" because that should have been settled on the very same day.

I was looking for a good primer to explain what's going on, since I didn't know myself, and this seems to cover everything that's going on pretty well...

But you do realize adding Deslaurier into the lineup is not why they scored 2 goals, right?





RIGHT?!?!

Energy guys (as they are often called) do bring energy and when they are around sometimes other players play bigger. It is a team game and everybody has a role.

I'm not suggesting guys like him are the key to success, that would be silly, but they do matter.

I can't believe we are in a situation where signing Ābols is a real possibility. It's only good in the context of tanking.

No, he's not essential but I like my Latvians. Every team should have one.

OMG! im so need that in my life..

OK, now that you mention this, and my brain went "that sounds like Waffles and Maple", I need to see this play out.

You're simply not a serious person. Deslaurier is not an energy guy and he can't play in the NHL. He has no business being in the NHL.

Deslaurier does not contribute towards winning games in the slightest bit. He is a waste of capspace and a roster slot.

I don't need you to explain to me the role of goons.

Shit truck had 5:59 on the ice last night. Lol.

You guys are in deep trouble. You want the Flyers to be something the Flyers don't want to be and so you will never be happy.

 

[BernieParent]

Sadly, you are right. The follow-up question is who will be less happy: the fans who think that the franchise needs to do a 180 to be Cup contenders or the ones who think that the franchise can become Cup contenders by doing what they have always done?

A winning team?

I mean, what we want is for the Flyers to be good, but I guess if you don't care about that you can love watching this team circle the drain indefinitely.

 

[FLYguy3911]

I just wanted the team to be a contender 5v5 so I’m satisfied.

Carcillo > Frost, Farabee

I'm getting a custom dart board, should it be Rocky or John ? hahaha

I enjoy watching players we drafted play well on other teams. It speaks well for the Flyers coaching and development also player evaluation process.

Yes, I've completely given up on this team winning anything for the next decade.

They've both started with 1 point in 3 games.
