I’m wondering if the flyers are mentally gassed. I don’t see Torts getting any front office consideration. If they continue to lose and regress next year early in the season Torts could get canned.

You’re on here pretty frequently…presumed you were a Flyers fan…not someone to just simply dog the team like an opposing fan.

I have a hunch he might be done after this year. Think of the weird crap he has done. I know it is easy to say Torts has done this before, but so much in one season? The highlights- getting kicked out of a game, saying no captain this season, naming a captain and scratching him, not doing pre game and post game interviews, then excuse I had family in the building and wanted to spend time with them (maybe he should have scratched himself). Seems to me this feels like a farewell tour and Torts going out in a blaze of glory.

And at the same time the only coach on the planet that can squeeze 80 pts out of this trash heap

Wow if Washington gets any points tonight, the Flyers better be thinking we must win the rest of the season. Plus Washington ends season playing the Flyers...

It is almost inevitable that they will miss the playoffs by a point. Torts will make certain of it!

It’s a miracle he lasted 2 full seasons. Especially with this dysfunctional organization

Well, they hired Torts with the expectation of not being in rebuild. Now, you can say are they rebuilding now? They traded a top 4 Dman, all star ( I know a joke) fwd, tried to trade another top 4 Dman - trade nixed, traded another top 4 Dman at the deadline, and took on 2 salaries (1 over the summer and 1 at the deadline) in trades. I do think they are rebuilding. but wish more should have been done. Have the opportunity to do more this summer.

Since the Flyers lost, it's not a real game. This is what I've learned.

Last card Torts can play is start Fedotov on Monday. Hope the boys work their butts off to forecheck and block shots.

At least it looks like Foerster could be a solid goal scorer for them. Excited to see how he continues to grow.

Laughts and tk even hart (I know) had high trade value last year. Didn’t move them. Or this year. (So far) they removed players they deemed cancers. Not for rebuild purposes.

They stated rebuild but moves that bring value aren’t made (yet)


Tort was hired to change culture. Bring order. (Mixed bag)


There’s still time. We shall see

- bird_dog_pa

They are not gassed they just lack top end talent who can win by themselves. No team can play the way the Flyers have to play to win for 82 games. It’s physically and mentally impossible. Pastrnak and Kucherov can win games by themselves. Colorado can play 20 minutes and beat the bad teams of the league. A good powerplay can make up for lazy 5 on 5 play. This is just who they will be until some higher end players arrive.

Completely agree. I'm surprised it has held together this long. They're still not by any means out of it.

Flyers now officially out of the 3rd Metro spot. Tied with Washington in points with the Cap having 2 games in hand
