Scratching Couts is spot on for Torts doing stupid shit to prove he is in charge of the room not his captain. The Flyers will probably find a way to win tonight and all the authentics will puff out their chests and say see it worked.

Question to Flyers fans: I've read all the comments and most of you are mad that Couturier is benched, but I haven't read anything about Couturier's play lately. Has he been good? Do the Flyers have a better chance of winning without him?

"Torts knows how to push all the right buttons"

Will ignore that Ersson stands on his head if they win

Look who else is dressed and that answer is very clear.

The last time I wanted them to lose a game this bad was probably the San Jose game earlier this year.

He was such a wimp he had Rocky Thompson do pre-game interviews instead of facing questions. He didn’t even discuss anything with Couturier privately. Hard to sugarcoat when you duck conversations.

And you know this?

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

Is Sean Couturier becoming a culture problem?

 

[DancingPanther]

I hope when I check back in 3 hours I see a 7-2 drubbing with 2g from Matthews.

It's hard to describe how much I hate this team. Would love for Clarke to never see another win

A chickenshit bully is the worst kind of bully. Torts is human garbage.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Couts & Atkinson are older players. When you get older recovery is a lot tougher. With the lack of talent we have most of ourm players are at the edge of burnout. It's surprising they have held on this long.

Couturier disagrees with you about the nature of this handling. He's been sat for injuries before without any reaction like this. This is something else.

 

[GKJ]

Over/under 30 seconds on the deslauriers/Reaves fight

 

[gto64dr]

We all knew coming into this season that the team had a lot of dead wood and lack of talent. Amazingley Torts got way more than we all expected. Playoffs seemed almost certain. Then came the Hart problem and a rash of injuries and now many have turned on the coach. Everybody loves the winner until they become the loser.

Absolutely
Couts has never been, at any point in his career, the kind of guy who speaks out or rocks the boat. Every coach he played for here, from Berube to Hak to Gordon to AV to Yeo had nothing but good things to say about him. For him to make a statement like he did today is shocking and it tells me all I need to know about Torts and his bs ways.

Couts hates losing.

I'm not a Couturier fan mainly because I know he has no shot at living up to that contract, but he is obviously hurt. Why won't the Flyers just be honest with their fanbase for a change. Instead, they sacrifice the player's rep. Why do they have such contempt for one of the most loyal fan bases in all of sports.

His contract...it was excessive in my opinion. I felt it was to show the fanbase "Hey look, we got a star too who we have to give the big contract to". Like keeping up with the Joneses. Anyways, a healthy Couts was/is excellent hockey player...just nt sure if he'll ever be there again. I hope so...

Cates Couts Olle this Dino f*** think is worse than playing his pet shit truck.

Love everyone is roasting the Flyers less the fan boys. Even the schills are riled up

 

[bennysflyers16]

Please Reaves embarrass our plug

 

[Magua]

And you know this?

Couturier today: “I've gotten the same answer as you guys. 'Just need to see more.' Still trying to figure out what that is.”

No way, right? John Tortorella might be a terrible communicator. Sorry I had to be the one to break it to you. Now, about the Easter Bunny……

 

[BiggE]

Watching the TO feed because I don’t want to be subjected to the culture and Tortorella ball washing of JJ and Boosh

The fans turning on Coots is just unreal

The PR will be incredible to witness.

Love TSN mocking this baby.

And man the post game presser temper tantrum is gonna be electric

 

[Winston Wolf]

Boucher and Jackson are already spinning up the anti-Frost propaganda if he doesn't will them to a win.
