and right after I post that...

I'm convinced Charles posts on hfboards. Post reeks of the "can't you just enjoy the wins?" Crowd

I’m not mad they won, I just don’t give a f*** they won at the same time.

Charlie can’t rationalize that we aren’t paid to watch this aimless team and drum up interest. He’s right on one count: stop watching. I have. Thank the lord.

 

[DancingPanther]

I hope they lose every game. I don't even like this team. I don't like the coach, I don't like half the players, I don't like the front office...why would I root for them, Charles? I haven't watched them since Giroux's last game, and that was the only game that season that I watched

I read the replies to this tweet and I’m now convinced the Flyers have the dumbest fans in sports

And this remains the problem. I dont care as much about a draft pick....but what winning is doing is making management and fans have attitudes like this. They fall in love with guys we should be moving, convince themselves we need them, then start handing out contracts.

Flash forward 2 years and we have the same team we have now and no room or assets to improve.

Until Briere shows an actual comittment to the rebuild...which would be trading guys like TK, Laughton, Walker, Hart, etc...then its more of the same. We will end up being a team of middle 6 forwards and bottom to middle pair dmen

Can't you just enjoy the wins and stop worrying about the long term health of the team? They just beat the pens back to back! Bring on the cup banner

I don't remember if it is in the Twitter thread you cited or another, but one person commented -- unironically it seemed -- that they have the franchise goaltender and all the middle-6 pieces they need and first-liners on the way so all they need are a 1C and a 1D. Yep, sure, the team is only the two most difficult players to obtain away from being a true Cup contender!

It also belies the strategy of picking up vets to flip at the TDL. If it isn't worth trading Walker for a 2nd or even a late 1st, then neither is giving players like Staal or Seeler regular ice time through the season in exchange for a 3rd or (likely) worse.

It’s times like this that I like to remind myself that WE are the ones that overrate prospects.

Gretzky’s record is in danger.

 

[BernieParent]

What if hostagejoe is actually being held captive somewhere and his increasingly outrageous posts are secret cries for help?

I mean it already is

Laughton is one of the guys we should have traded 2 years ago but instead we resigned him.

The organization looks for any scrap of even the slightest reason not to rebuild, nothing has changed.

Is this kind a like how last year they were 5th in the league in improving win % yet went from 3rd to 5th worst record?

Damn, this shows Torterella is a huge improvement over the the awful results last year from (checks notes) ..... Torterella.
