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

The secondary has been bottom 5 or so all year. This is the first time they are facing a team strong both in O and D, and they are being taken behind the woodshed...

yea wasn't clear while watching it live

LFGGGGGGG!!!!!

thank you hurts maybe the secondary can get a stop?

Man do we miss a guy like Malcolm Jenkins up the middle. A safety good enough in short range coverage to play slot.

if these bumholes aren't going to cover any one can they start launching themselves at the receivers?

Byard has been a huge disappointment. He hasn't "lost a step." This guy looks done.

Benching players is not old school, and it’s totally fine to bench a player. Just don’t do something dumb like 6 games in a row like frost

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.

So they only reason the “kids” are playing due to injuries?

Who would have thought that torts would be honest with the fan base

It's 17-14! This reminds me of when you anointed San Francisco the Super Bowl before they lost 3 straight

It's old school crap. There is no need to bench a player who is a good player. Let him play and work through it. The Flyers should try something different.

all the d needs to do is get a stop and the O needs to score

They have Cliff. Why are are you so opposed to sitting down a 21 year old dman who has played less than 100 NHL games? Who is taking on a role he maybe shouldn't be taking at this time. Tell us all the harm that would do.

Well then let’s put Farabee in too.
- Minnyhock

Both Dornhoefer and Couturier have spent the better part of a decade standing in front of the opposing team's net getting hammered on from behind by 200 lb defensemen. Also, both of them were/are slow as poop. I'm not ready to put Farabee in their class....
