A lot of things need to happen in the Flyer’s organization before I watch another game. Signing Russian players ain’t one of them. Firing the entirety of the coaching staff in Philly and Lehigh is one of them.

Xenforo Cloud is doing server maintenance Thurdsay 13th at 9 AM GMT. Downtime is to be expected during the process. Server changes were implemented recently to cope with the traffic surge last week. This seems to be affecting the user login, so please anyone experiencing this, log out and clear the browser cache. We expect to have this issue solved once the maintenance is complete.
Still think this team will find a way to keep him around even if they fire him. However, I think he is here all year.

We know how this "wash" "cycle" will go....
Start off slow....experience a few hot streaks to make them look respectable.....fizzle out bc of overwork and lack of talent thus ruining our draft position...

I don't think Torts is the real problem. We have no backup goalie, really weak at center and mediocre at best on D. They play hard for him and i still think Shaw can help develop the D. I would replace Lehigh though with someone who can develop players.

Torts can't coach offense and the team can't score.

The ONLY hope we have is if he becomes useful and decides to go save animals full time.
This clown has no concept of how to coach in the current NHL or hire assistants to help him.

Don’t even get excited about the day he’s no longer coach. That’ll just mean he’s been moved up to management.

The Flyers were 34-26-8 on 3/19 when Torts decided to impulsively scratch his newly appointed captain, Sean Couturier.
Since then their record is 5-12-4

Something tells me it had more to do with Ersson melting down after Hart left.
So far this year, (GA - xGA)/60:
Ersson +0.85
Fedotov +2.26
So while they need to score more, if the goalies don't play better, they're not going anywhere.
Message from Torts to all his players:
The beatings will continue until morale improves.

They're pretty one dimensional. Good teams can switch up their playstyles to take advantage of what's available. A team devoted to one kind of offense can't do that. Tortorella's North-South religion that looks poorly upon cross ice passing is easy to lock down, especially when there's no risk of anything else happening. They're being completely smothered. Opposing teams know from prior years where the passing lanes are and where they have to be to cover them. They've been dead right so far, and nothing is being done to throw new looks.
Well, aside from benching the few players who have some capability to play the way they need to.
Cant keep telling us we have to live with Torts shitty line ups and nonexitent style of play bc hes establishing a culture of hardwork and accountability when the players are not even trying half the time.
1-5-1. Coaches have been fired for less here.

So is the fixed culture actually not fixed or is the culture fixed and it doesn’t matter at all when it comes to winning games?
Either way, Torts has proven to be unable to make a positive difference.

One positive to all this: Michkov will get so angry from all this losing that he will become the greatest version of himself possible. Great coaching by Torts.

I think that this club will try to rally around each other and demand a more effective coach and leadership. With proper coaching these players are better than they’ve been allowed to show with Torts coaching. Right now they’re a laughing stock. I can see MM being the one that goes to DB representing the players and demanding a change behind the bench.

I suspect we're in for another of those"what do you expect" rebuilding seasons. If only I had infinite patience. Oh well

anyone that thinks a rebuild is keeping an 18 year then scratching him a lot. trading Walker replacing Atkinson with Michkov then running the same group out is delusional
