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

Much like the Flyers and his avatar Kingpin seems to be stuck in the past. Can't accept that Philly is no longer a good hockey team that a FA wants to sign with.

He's also repeatedly ignored the fact that the Flyers aren't going to build with top players earning big dollars. They've made it clear that their plan is to depth their way to a cup.

Depth their way with cap space? They are clearly aware they need high end talent. Likely not the kind where they hit on a 2027 1st. If anything, it’s 100% on brand to try and get the biggest UFA out there.

Franchises don’t stay undesirable forever. Like my old avatar, I’ve been around awhile to see plenty that have become destinations after being far from first choices. Not saying the Flyers are that today, but there is a path for that. Cut Torts, draft a star or two, have a ton of cap space. It ain’t likely, but it’s the only real path forward.

Also, I’m not bocowski or whatever tf. I don’t change my avatar bc I have better shit to do. I also have better shit to do than pour all my time in something I don’t believe in, ie the Flyers.

Lol, sure man. Carter Hart gives you and extra 15 points in the standings. Come on Torts, I know the goaltending has been bad but you haven't scored a goal in 2 games.

He was talking about last year, so not scoring over these past two games wouldn't help with that.

But after Criminal Defendant #1's last game, we went 13-18-5 in our last 36 games. They'd have needed to pick up 10 points to make the playoffs by 6. 18-13-5 instead of 13-18-5 is entirely cromulent, when you're replacing Petersen, Sandstrom, and Fedotov's 2-4-1 record, plus some percentage of Ersson's games in a stretch where he went 11-14-4, with games from a f***he... I mean, goalie who went 12-9-3 over 25 games.

He’s probably right though

Is he though? I posted this in the GDT last night...that's not going to get you into the playoffs

Going back to the start of that stretch, where they got shutout 3 straight games, they have played 18 games and scored 38 goals...good enough for an average of 2.11 goals per game. 23 of those goals came in a 5 game stretch. That means over the other 13 games, they scored 15 goals, a great average of 1.15 goals per game. That's not getting you in the playoffs

anyway you look at it..torts is still deflecting from his own lack of being a good coach and DB not addressing things properly...now in the long run it will work out for us since in theory..it should give us a higher draft pick..just of course..the wrong year

They probably don’t go on an 8-game losing streak though. There’s the games Petersen and Sandstrom play, plus you don’t have an exhausted Ersson, that’s gotta be at least 4 points, and that gets them in

Well if you paid a bit more attention you would know that their plan isnt to go after elite talent. Briere said himself they arent going to be the team with 1 or 2 elite players. Their plan is to overwhelm other teams with lots of good players aka depth. Even if it was smoke and mirrors and the Flyers make a push, elite talent isnt going to sign with the Flyers.

Youre delusional if you think this team is a John firing away from being a desirable destination. The same philosophies that brought him in are the same philosophies that will stay with all the senior staff that are running the show. If they somehow attract talent that theyve said they arent pursuing, that style of play will get snuffed out of them for good ole physical grinding. The right way to play

Youre like Boocowski in that you believe this team is somehow going to turn things around with magic FA signings, ignoring all the red flags this org has. You have nothing credible to base your claims on youre just speculating massively based on a flight from the 4 nations tourney. Good for you for not wasting your time on something you dont believe in?
