Michov getting healthy scratched twice within 15 games is some real lepoards-eating-faces stuff for the Authentics who jerked off to their Tortorella statues when he kept scratching Frost last year.

York was carrying Sanheim till he got hurt. It’s so obvious now.

Even if we accept the fantasy that York was much better than Sanheim to start the season, it’s hilarious to think that COC thought of Sanheim as Drysdale as comparable dmen to step up without York.

I'm not going to post pictures of the text convo because the messages are too long to send in one screenshot (edit: Meanwhile I wasted time typing it all out), but, this convo went down last night with my Hagg-loving, Ghost-waive-approving friend. Funny thing is, he has a Ghost jersey after his rookie year. If proof is demanded I will oblige. I am not fudging the text convo for the sake of internet points.

Right after Michkov set up TK

Me: Wow Michgod

Him: 1a in 5 games while not looking good even strength or defensively only 1 game he wasn't - or 0 all season leading up to scratches... 2g2a SO goal and on pace for 3 straight + games since. This kid is RUssian not a spoiled rich American or Canadian baby. he took it the right way [the scratches] and knows what tough coaching is, honestly probably doesn't know any other kind. Torts might be the nicest one he's had lol... While a ton of people may not agree with it. Visually and on paper it worked... if he would have went 10 games with 1 a the we can't develop, we are ruining him talk would have started. fans just need to bitch and moan. no matter what torts or Danny does people will find an issue. Even if you don't like it , you have to admit it was a good time for it if it was going to happen. saved him possibly entering an early big slump causing him to do even more dumb shit like players do then because they are mentally f***ed then. it got him back on track early for the rest of the season and he has played his best 3 games since... the entire team has responded to it honestly.



I didn't reply last night. This is just one example of what I deal with. He's more of a defender of Tortorella than anyone I have ever seen, he even rivals one head which is dead whom posts here. There has never been one criticism of Tortorella by him (or the poster here) and it makes me wonder how people can blindly obey, follow, and believe in one single person so faithfully. My buddy is not even religious! He's a real swell guy though and love him to pieces, but man, just say one thing about Tortorella you don't like. It will be okay. There is no gun to your head.

I genuinely believe there is a deficiency many people have where they cant criticize things they believe in. No differently than religion, morals, or politics, they believe that even admitting there are things to criticize suddenly invalidates what they believe in. Flyers fans are so whipped by this miserable franchise that when someone says that the team is too soft and a tough coach will fix it and return them to greatness, they want to believe it with all their heart and if you bring any doubt it suddenly destroys any hope they have. These are people who have never been forced to have their ideals challenged whether in life or academically. This is something you have to learn in your younger years because adults prefer to let people be.
Even people who have all the educational accolades in the world suffer from this, ive experienced this closemindedness from many PhD students and professionals, and conversely open mindedness from priests and grocery store lifers.

When faced with these situations, sometimes I wonder if there really is nothing you can do.

You are describing cognitive dissonance.

There are two types of Flyers fans. Team Hagg and Team Ghost.

Trying to talk his way into the Lappy treatment

 

[Magua]

“One of my favorites.” He’s played for 4 teams and won a Cup with the Avs. Let me translate: “It’s better than Buffalo.”

Ew.

We can drop him off there if he wants.

Ew.

The Buffalo comparison metric works on several levels.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

This one might be the best one yet.

 

[kudymen]

The only thing he needs to be a 30 goal scorer is scoring almost twice as many goals. Otherwise he is just that

They’re literally waiting to get on the ice… where else would they be looking?

Sitting in the locker room still getting dressed?

“This is a well prepared team. Torts has them getting dressed on time. That’s the culture he’s instilled.”
