Post-Game Talk: #57 | Flyers at Canucks | February 17, 2023

[BiggE]

I watched about 5 minutes of the first period. That was enough, more than enough in fact.

Now go get shelled in Alberta. A long, long losing streak is the only (slight) chance we have to see any meaningful changes in management.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

LMAO
That’s all I got.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

who's the lovely lady in yellow?

Claudie Lange.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Buyers!!!

 

[Fight4yourRight]

Great news that it’s a back to back against Edm and Cgy. Should be easy games to lose! Maybe, just maybe… this team has another 10+ game losing streak in them to prompt Cuck and Flahr being fired into the sun. The advisors, as we know, probably need to let Mother Nature run its course on them.

 

[GKJ]

Almost halfway to another 10 gamer. Then they’ll think about firing Chuck again

 

[mr4tno]

Pull the goalie and put Brown out there, lmao.

Offensive genius Torts at work ladies and gentlemen.

I think he was out there to win the face-off (his only semi-positive attribute). Of course, he didn't.....

What’s the chances they can put some WD40 on that revolving door to Phantoms, I assume it is stuck ?

I recall being told there would be a flow of kids coming up all year.

They come up. They just do not make it to the ice. They seriously hurt the Phantoms playoff chances by recalling key players and then not playing them. If they need warm bodies the Phantoms have plenty of them....

 

[mr4tno]

The real questions are, on a team that is so devoid of talent (1) why would they choose to suit up plugs like ND, Brown and MacNothing (when healthy)?, and (2) why would Totorella then choose to create a line-up that effectively gives them 5% more playing time?

They’re rebuilding and Deslauriers, Brown, and MacEwen are core pieces going forward.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Deslauriers has been on TK's line for almost two full games now... and this was a game where they dressed 11 forwards...

I am baffled, absolutely baffled, at the Cates/Deslauriers combo not scoring goals.

How could it not work? The offensive genius hired as coach thinks it will.


Is it possible the guy who doesn't think you win by scoring goals isn't actually an offensive mastermind?

 

[Beef Invictus]

Who cares, they had an amazing stretch since December 7th and also wrote a nice letter

Truly amazing that the team isn't firmly in sell mode and is sitting on their balls while trade opportunities get eaten by other smarter teams.

All because they were better than trash for a month.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

 

[Beef Invictus]

Fascinating how fast the management defenders disappear.

Maybe, just maybe, don't start aggressively patting them on the back while they're riding either a shooting heater or a .950 save percentage. Those things never last and inevitably the real team shines through.

All I’m interested in now is whether the talking point will be “Great stretch from dec 7” or if it will morph into even more hilarious “they were amazing from dec 7 to Jan 26 or something like that”

 

[Angry Hockey Dad]

So Bedard is back on right? Flyers have looked CBJ/ANA bad lately…

 

[Flyer lurker]

For the couple of gems on here that think the flyers are getting better under torts.
1) There is no way you could have watched that game and thought the flyers 18 skaters are remotely close in talent than the Canucks. This is more than a bad stretch. This is clear talent levels differences. And I am talking CANUCKS. Not bruins, Leafs, , etc. I AM TALKING CANUCKS 18 SKATERS ARE EASILY BETTER.
2) To play 44 with TK is the dumbest idea by Torts in a year filled with dumb ideas. I am shocked I tell u TK looks fine with Frost on pp and looks like he is trying to do too much with 44 on the ice.
3) IF Hart/Ersson and TK are not on the top of their games the flyers don't win unless we are talking pond scum duck talent.
4)There is not a 1 or 2 defenseman on this roster unless York's development is off the chart. NHL teams don't go on playoff runs without at least one top 25 d-man. It is painfully evident when the flyers play a top 30 player like Elias, that the flyers can't cope with those kind of skills.
5)Anyone watching this game hoping Couts and Cam back next year could have this this team on playoff doorstep needs to go to Fletcher rehab immediately. Too many smelling of flusher farts can cause permanent damage.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

Better team performance than the two Seattle games.

Got bit by a few bad mistakes.

And too many of their supposed higher-end players are struggling at the same time.

Sanheim terrible. Directly at fault in Vancouver’s first two goals.

Provorov’s game has really dropped the last two weeks.

Hayes & JVR are costing themselves trade value with their recent poor play.

Farabee, like Sanhero, has been bad all season, & it continues. Allison just isn’t good.

Laughton, Frost, York, Tippett aren’t necessarily playing badly, but their games have slipped into too much meh.

On the bright side Konecny was everywhere last night.

The Flyers are a bottom-10 team in the league. These rough patches are completely unsurprising. They also don’t define the overall season.

Oh we are absolutely going to hear about how the December team is the Real Flyers, and not all the other months of the seasons.

Weird how the "top end players" having their games slip coincides with the coach scattering trashheaps through their lines.

Hey last summer you said you were losing faith and you'd be for firing Fletcher if we had another shit year. Yet you still defend him at every turn. Did you lie?

 

[kudymen]

Of course. The real AV Flyers were the ones in March 2020, the real Ghost was in that Pens series. Life is easy

Maybe just maybe flyers fans should judge the way the flyers played vs seattle, boston, carolina, etc instead of arizona and ducks

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

They’ve had shitty performances bailed out by goaltending plenty of times before this season. So don’t really care if they were the better team last in terms of process.

You make your foundation with cement.

Oh, you and your quaint talk about "goals". There are much bigger goals than those projected on the scoreboard.

The Flyers lost at tennis.

Everyone knows you don't win a hockey game by scoring goals.
