Not every team plays at the frantic pace the Flyers have all season.

It's a calling card of Torts teams, they start the season flying at a super high intensity. They DO beat teams by simply out working them. They play almost every game with borderline playoff intensity.

And then by this time of the year his teams are shot. He doesn't understand how to manage a teams conditioning in a way that allows them to maintain a pace (or better yet accelerate) into the playoffs.

In my opinion it's the main reason his playoff record is so terrible.
Exactly!

Mike Keenan learned this lesson after the 85-86 season. He stopped pushing so insanely hard during the regular season in 86-87 and took the team to game 7 in the SCF.

Keenan, like Hitch as well, was a guy who had a limited shelf life but he was a much better coach than Torts. Torts is self absorbed jackass

Throwing coots out there at the end of the game with tippett and Konecny is a smack right in the f****** face

poehling laughton on the powerplay over coots
Total lack of desperation by any player
expecting saves from a goalie with a sub .900 save percentage
lazy penalties
odd scratches all season long
trading picks for a cooked D because he is a veteran
horrible pp for years
made good players average at best Farabee is a great example
Dorking around Frost at the start of the season


it all equals meltdown
