I want to see Matthews score #60 on Yandle. Before he can get to the bench.

 

[usahockey22flyers]

Need the Leafs in the worst way.

 

[Kelmitchell2]

Let's go leafs

[Appleyard]

Odds on favourite to be 3rd seed now in draft... Seattle should pass them in final stretch... thought that was about as far as they could fall just before Giroux traded.

Cant see them "passing" Montreal as Montreal are also awful. And if Flyers win only 1 game on final 6 Montreal need to win 4 to pass.

 

[swami24]

Draft lottery position, not draft..

Phoenix sitting at 1 with 16.6% chance of 1st pick. MTL 2nd with 12%, and Sea and Phil are both near 10%

 

[Kelmitchell2]

So I can't find a list, I'm curious as to what the experts list for the mock draft look like right now

[SolidSnakeUS]

Considering we like watching this team fail at basically every angle and hope everything truly gets changed because of it, and feeling good about it, I think this song seems a bit appropriate.



Besides, I'll find any reason to post this awesome song.

[Ghosts Beer]

I can't believe I'm planning to watch this.

 

[usahockey22flyers]

Do we like Leafs -1.5?

 

[04hockey]

somebody called the Flyers "bottom feeders"

how soon should I start drinking ?

 

[macleish1974]

Just sub "her" for the "Flyers"........all you need to know.....

 

[freakydallas13]

somebody called the Flyers "bottom feeders"

how soon should I start drinking ?

That is insulting to bottom feeders.

 

[Flyerfan4life]

That is insulting to bottom feeders.

they aint wrong...

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Too early?

Nice kill by the Flyers' power play.​

"It's been 7 years, it's something that goes above and beyond coaching. It's interesting, we haven't had a good power play since '14-'15. That’s the last time. I think it's six years, seven years — we've had a couple of 14th-place finishes, 17th, 18th, 24th. Power play since I've been here has been an everyday question and clearly going back to '14-'15 it's been an everyday question here. ... Personally, I think that way too much blame or even credit gets attached to the power play coach." Chuck Fletcher November 2021.​

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

These guys are talking up Martin Jones.

He hasn’t been good this year. Neither has the team but that doesn’t prop him up on a curve.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Starting Goalies: Martin Jones vs. Jack Campbell.

Starters: Provorov-Sanheim; Farabee-Frost-Tippett

Non-IR Scratches: Hart, Ristolainen, Seeler, York, Brown, Atkinson

"COVID and injuries."
"Culture over strategy."

Just remember, this management basically said that with Niskanen gone for last year, everything fell apart. Niskanen, while generally good, has never, ever been the lynch pin for a team. Saying that all aspects of team fall apart because one person retired seems like a f***ed concept and means they were trying their best to point fingers instead of accepting their own failures.

Couts and Ellis being out for most of the season is no reason why our PP sucked. Couts and Ellis being out most of the year is not the reason why our PK is truly bad. Both of them being out most of the season doesn't excuse why we are currently 3rd to last in goals scored.

It's management from top to bottom and it all needs to be gutted. Chuck, Clarke, Homer and Yeo need to go.

The fact that we're pushing a culture of a losing team should speak volumes.
