torst dont like frost....ryan big center who cant score. Torts would love him!!!

Diagnosis is in. Ristolainen has Ryan Ellis disease.

What is more likely? Flyers put up a 10 spot and beat the Sharks, or they do what they do best get embarrassed and are on the ass end of the Sharks first win of the season?

Flyers should do something bold to shake things up. Let a fan coach a game, put Gritty on the third pairing, make an announcer the President of Hockey Operations.

Nice set up. Nice put away.

That last one is really funny. I just wish it also wasn't true.

This could be a new game -- state 3 outlandish things related to hockey, and I guarantee you the Flyers would have done at least one of them.

That's because Tortorella still doesn't trust Zamula to a large degree and has to manage Belpedio's minutes and matchups carefully. So right off the bat, the Flyers are only using four D regularly, including Seeler being asked to pull down 16 to 18 minutes. So York was used a ton in the first two periods before Tortorella sat him for the rest of the night.

I wish he would let Zamula play. These is something there. He just needs experience, which means needs to e allowed to make mistakes. This last part is not in the Flyers Developemnt handbook. You must be perfect from the very beginning.

Bill, do you think Couturier makes the Flyer HOF? His numbers are comparable to Dornhoefer. Dornhoefer has 2 SCs tho.

Well they both have bad backs....

York definitely was a liability last night. I have no problem with the benching and hopefully it helps focus York. Let him learn from this. It’s why we all scream to PLAY THE KIDS. So by the time this team is ready to be a legit threat to win these kids will have developed their NHL game. Play Frost and teach him. Play York and Zemula and teach them. Play Tippett and Brink and Cates and teach them. Teaching moments come in many forms.

Tortorella should try something different other than acting like a craggy old school nun. If a player is struggling, coach them through it but keep them playing. Stop benching and scratching quality young players. There is going to be ups and downs.

nothing wrong with sitting a young player down and having him reset by watching a game. When it becomes prolonged is when it becomes an issue.

Well then let’s put Farabee in too.

How did Felix get injured?

Dallas should have challenged that spot.

I'm a believer in letting young players work through their mistakes. They shouldn't fear being scratched for making a mistake. Run them out there every night. If the coach needs to park a kid on the bench to send a message, I have no problem with that.

How do you know he’s not coaching through it? Also, nothing wrong with having guys take a seat.

(frank) YEAHHHHHH!!!!

I can already tell this is going to be a long day for Dallas.

So is parsons an eagle in 2 years?

Don’t give him any ideas. Next you know he’ll be smacking them all on the knuckles with a ruler.

Eagles d leaving people side open.

He benched him for the 3rd period. It's old school crap. Don't need to punish a player for having a bad game.

I would have to disagree though you might turn out to be right. A bellwether for Birds success has been the pressure Carter gets up the middle and he is being handled without double teaming so far.

getting tired of this poop ass defense
