Try having a flight from Montreal to Philly cancelled last minute after a 12.5 hour flight from Japan...

In misery of redwings of suckage for a long time
I often agree with tweets from Flyers fans and then quickly realize that they dislike something for the opposite reason I do.

This doesn't come off like a guy who is making every attempt to find a flight or transport, gotta say.
maybe that's why i enjoyed AFL last year when i started watching..aside from the sheer chaos on the field..i have no team to cheer for so i can just enjoy the sport ...and chaos lol
Sure, but what I mean is the critics are usually looking for a style and type that doesn't mesh and most likely never will because that's not what ownership wants. The best you can hope for is a Boston or Washington type team. You're not going to get the Oilers.
If all goes well and they make smart moves you could get Florida though so it's not all hopeless imo.
Two things. One, of course it's been a long time and I'm tired of it but I think they screwed up royally going with Fletcher and since you can't rewrite that mistake I'm willing to let this group's plan play out as I've said. I mean what else can you do?
Two, I don't buy into the "hockey in 2025" type thing. Sure, it's faster and a little different but lots of things are the same. Florida has shown that toughness and defense does matter still. It still wins. Modern hockey requires speed but with an aggressive forecheck and serious physicality you can go far. We don't have the talent to be that team yet, but becoming that team in a few years is still possible.
How is it possible? They choose low ceiling players in the draft, they extend all of the current players instead of dealing them, they have added zero high end talent
So you think Buffalo will be forever losers too? Because they have done a lot of what you advocate Flyers should do here.
Maybe if the two teams threw all their sticks in a big pile and picked rosters like we used to do as kids you'd get two decently balanced teams since they are such opposites?
Go talk to Buffalo after the Jersey game

No, they don't, actually. I don't advocate for having a bare bones or obsolete scouting staff. I don't advocate for bad hires. I don't advocate for completely failing to identify and bring in solid depth players. Those are all the things that the Flyers do that Buffalo also does, and it sinks both. They share those traits. The reason Buffalo has an advantage over the Flyers is that they at least get high level talent when it comes to them.
That's probably why the Sabres have more wins than the Flyers in this decade. And while having worse goaltending!!!

I've watched the last 2 Flames games, Frost and Farabee look pretty comfortable, almost like they're having fun again. They're a fun team to watch too, will watch them over a Flyers game right now.
Go talk to the Flyers for the 3 games before UTAH... We can play this game all day long.So you think Buffalo will be forever losers too? Because they have done a lot of what you advocate Flyers should do here.

They also lost to Utah, I don't know why that game is seen as a positive. They got blasted out of the rink and spent most of the game cowering in a Tort Shell.
Because I don't want to hear they scored goals in the Utah game and also it went to overtime so it was competitive. I'm done with that lazy analysis that I know is coming just like I knew the DeLo slurp was coming.

The Flames have put out social media posts about Frost and Farabee akin to blitzkrieg.
The Flyers?
The Flyers?

Better idea: throw both teams' management into a big pile, throw sticks at them, and then sell both teams to owners who understand how to build successful organizations.

Wow. Way to really put your foot down with bold predictions like "young FAs" will be signed and old ones won't. At least you were specific and didn't vaguely describe your positions so you can argue nuance if they don't end up right.
1) Laughton won't be traded this deadline.
2) Torts won't be fired before the start of the 25-26 season.
3) The Flyers will enter the 25-26 and 26-27 within 1.5 million dollars of the cap.
4) They won't make the playoffs in 25-26 or 26-27.
5) Jett won't play more then 25 games for the Flyers in 25-26.

Florida drafted 1st OA and 3rd OA like a decade before they won their cup, the Flyers are never doing that with their current braintrust.
They aren't trading any of those 3 are they....
