Has a goalie ever been pulled for the EBUG?

Always a time for firsts...

Not the easiest time to be a writer for the team.

What the hell positive is there to cover? They have one piece worth a damn, in Michkov - and they are scratching him tonight.

PHLY, and STG have become nothing but mouthpieces for the team.

No! I never ever thought Torts would sink this low.

I wonder if ESPN and the national broadcasters are happy that Michkov is being scratched?

Things are quickly slipping out of control for Torts. Scratching MM to me is the last straw. I know he has not been playing well but neither has any other forward other than TK, and even he has been hit or miss. Six periods this year already with 3 shots on goal for the Flyers, how does benching Michkov help? Putting Richards in there for Deslauriers might though. I think there is a big disconnect between what the Flyers are and what Torts thinks they can be. The goal this season should be to take a step back and get multiple high picks to kick this rebuild several steps forward. But Torts is certainly not coaching that way. I wonder now if he will or should last the season as coach.

I thought MM was kinda coming out his little funk. I will go one further about Torts…fine to sit him for a game…but for some reason if it’s more then that then DB needs to grow a set….because if MM becomes disillusioned with this franchise that’s its for our so called great young GM.
For a team starving for offence…to sit MM is not very smart. You have guys like Tippet and Farabee that have made to many dumb defensive plays to count…yet they still don’t seem to be held to the same standard….

I can only hope this is some sort of load management thing like Anaheim does with Leo Carlson for example. He isnt used to playing this many games and has never played at 82 game season.

That is all I got.

The coach loves attention. This brings him what he craves.

This is decidedly the worst run franchise in the league.

These players could have a pre game locker room conversation of how many goals each player isn’t going to score tonight.

“No goal tonight, Bee?”

A lot of missing in action on this team, so we take out our best offensive threat.

Perhaps Torts has given up on Farabee and Tippet ... I know I have my doubts with Farabee for sure.

Notice how Michkov’s play has deteriorated when Tortorella had them playing turtle hockey again.

False narrative that Tortorella is good at developing young players. He is exactly the wrong coach for this team at this time.

Very very funny the Flyers used a talent search firm to land on Tortorella.

I think it was last year or the year before the leafs did it. The game was already out of hand and they put the ebug in just to get him some nhl time. Nice gesture but the other team was pissed.

Who the hell said he was good at developing anyone ?

I feel like Fedotov is going to get Roy'd tonight. Take the Over.

its a part of the process

Omg yes. Coupled with scratching mm this will be a beat down

not going to be a demo and lose my stuff over 1 game. Lets see if it is a pattern

They win and the coach doesn't change the lineup next game.

Well, being benched has worked wonders for Frost’s game. Can’t wait to see the coach work his magic on Michkov too.

He hasn't played well the last few games. On the surface not big deal to sit him.

He has played a lot of hockey since he came over.

Now the other side is what the hell is he going to learn watching this slop and system? He may end up more confused. Or scared.

It’s just stupid. All the young players should be playing and playing lots. This is a last overall team we’re talking about down to their 3rd string tender.

that’s my concern. The Flyers don’t seem great at communication. Its really not much of a lesson if you don’t understand why it’s happening.

How about the Cutter Gauthier!? What he waiting for? Getting his first game against the Flyers?

Game not on TV?
