Things Not Left Unsaid - Flyers Rumors And Media Mentions 4: Say, Say, Say What You Want But Don’t Play Games With My Attention

Pronger understands we're screwed for a while longer

The guy Pronger was replying to was asking the wrong question. It's not about the Flyers moving on from Torts; the question at hand is whether Torts will move on from the Flyers. They don't know how to quit him, so it'll have to come from Torts himself.

Or they just resign Poehling again after he ends the season on the top line.

Or? Wong conjunction there.

I'll honestly be shocked if he's the head coach next season.

Not because the Flyers are going to send him packing but because he will have no interest being a lame duck coach on his last year of his contract. He'll dictate what will happen which will likely be a cushy advisor job where he'll help pick the next coach.

So Rocky as coach then. Good times.

If torts leaves I would promote Lappy to run the tank and then fire him to hire Sullivan when he becomes available.

Too bad in 14 games he has 3 points, despite starting with the 1st line before he was demoted.
Can't blame his nonperformance in Calgary on Torts.

Farabee is a shame, before he hurt his neck he was on his way to being a legitimate top 6 forward, since then he's not been the same player - it looked like he was on the way to bouncing back last season, but regressed this year. Top speed is now below average, he lacks strength, smart, skilled but basically a run of the mill 3LW with 3x5 left on his contract. Never a good defender, now his offense has gone south.

Lindblom, Patrick, Farabee, Hart. Flyers could use some luck.

Sounds like a development/coaching issue to me

Do other teams ever have this issue?
