I thought hayes was playing great this year. How could people on hfboards complain about Mutley.

24 hours later....................

Ghosty was preaching from the mountain tops how good Hayesey is just 23 hours ago.

 

[Magua]

It's amazing how much grit you can get on the waiver wire for free. That's how you win in the margins in 2022, and hopefully in 2023.

I wish I could non-ironically enjoy watching an entire team of Seelers and MacEwens. More than double digit brain cells is a burden I don’t want to bear any longer. Pass the Lotus, friend.

 

[BringBackHakstol]

Torts is f***ing brilliant

 

[bennysflyers16]

I only started watching in the 3rd, was TK bad enough to be benched? Because ND has been awful out there this period and he's being double shifted.

Nope. Whole team was garbage , so he benched his best player this year by a mile.

 

[flyerslducks]

Cycle the puck back to the point, take shot, blocked away or easily snared by the goalie. Repeat over and over and you have the flyers offensive game plan. I thought deady said this team would be fun to watch?

They have no skill at all, it’s pretty much the only thing they can do. Even with Hayes, tk, jvr, couts…they still have to play this way. That’s why we need to hit with the draft to get top end skill that we don’t have

Tk has been a 2 lb bag of fertilizer

Hayes was a 50 lb bag.

There are plenty others worse that 2lbs of fertilizer tonight.

 

[CerpinTaxt]

Coaching is on guys. Torts won a cup 18 years ago so he knows todays game for sure

 

[Winston Wolf]

In that he retires and gives the flyers cap room.

 

[Flyerfan4life]

that was some shit defense...

 

[flyerslducks]

Frost has been the only good flyer this 3rd. He’s definitely looking better

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

He's basically rolling six forwards this period and three are Deslauriers, Sedlak and MacEwen.

This is what we have to look forward to for 76 more games.

 

[Flyer lurker]

Stop creating plays Frost.

 

[Ghosts Beer]

And you should be having a meltdown. He’s openly trying to lose. Everything you hate.

How is TKs warranted. But not Provy or anyone else ?

You admitted everyone has been shit, yet he’s rewarding the worst of them all ?

Did you see the Sharks' 2nd goal? It was TK and Hayes' line that was responsible for an absolutely pathetic shift and the goal against. They're supposed to be the top two forwards in the lineup, so if they are going to give an embarrassing effort like that they are going to bear the brunt of the coach's ire.

This is part of the raised standards Torts is trying to implement, which is what this season is all about. He's not trying to lose the game. He *is* trying to teach the team that laziness won't be tolerated.

 

[Curufinwe]

I actually believe that Torts is punting this game to send a message. Truly amazing.

I gotta admit I don’t really mind it. They
way they turned the puck over multiple times before the 1st goal was not good at all.

 

[CerpinTaxt]

I know early season games don't count, which is why the fact that the Flyers have won 4 shouldn't mean anything, but this is the worst line management I've seen this side of hakstol. It's like another poster said it seems like torts want to lose.

 

[Strawberry Fields]

Obviously Hayes and TK aren't exactly that calibre of player... but this'd be like 04 Torts benching Vinny and MSL so he could double shift Chris Dingman and Andre Roy, lol.

 

[Juicy Pop]

Maybe Torts just really wants Bedard so he's just gonna roll 3 lines a game?

Now do Provy
Macewan
Deslaurier
This new plug
Seeler
Laughton

 

[tictactoe]

o well...

learned that move from Laughton probably.

 

[Striiker]

The fact that anyone defends Torts is embarrassing

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Poor Kevin just wants everyone to get along and enjoy their hockey. It's like letting your dog sniff your bone but not letting him chew on it.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Oh, Frosty... damn.

Oh so Nicky D’s lazy turnover in the d zone this period isn’t punishable because it didn’t lead to a goal, just a prime scoring chance. It’s selective accountability bullshit and actively sabotaging the teams chances at winning,

 

[flyerslducks]

Frost is filthy

 

[bennysflyers16]

Ghosty would loathe the Sharks feed praising what little skill we have
