It's about the players still being dressed in their stall when the media came in the room. The journalist says that the last time he personally saw that, was in 2019 when the Lightning were swept by Tortorella's Blue Jackets.

Turned the game off at 3-0 figured they were gonna lose. Must say surprised it turned into a 9-3 drubbing. Torts answering the presser was also shocking.
Well get ready for nothing to change. Looking forward to the same gdts and same types of discussions next year. Raise the mediocre banner!

One cause for concern is Sandstrum, Errson and Fedotov were all drafted by the Flyers. The Flyers seem to spend a lot of draft capital on goalies (as witnessed by last draft), but they do not seem to be very good at evaluating goalies, or any other players for that matter. I guess that is a byproduct of having a goon run your scouting...
And one of those things is losing, in grand boring fashion....
Jesus Christ I just scrolled through flyers hockey ops personnel and it's even more pathetic list of than I expected. Top to bottom its hockey yes men echo chamber. Also we get to employ services of Dany Heatley in our pro scouting department.

That was a pretty serious wallop. I didn't watch, but they've obviously hit rock bottom.
It's all just part of the full experience of being a Flyer, apparently.

That jockstrap sniffer Hilferty will give them cover for a while longer, but at least Jonesy won't be able to give those smug as f*** interviews now.

The next step is a dog taking a dump on a Flyers logo during a road game. Somehow

I'm much more shocked about MSE opening with a gif of Darkness than I am about the loss. And nobody from the weeb crew has mentioned it yet!

In misery of redwings of suckage for a long time
Do we all see now why Laughton is essential to keeping a tight locker room that won't allow blowouts or players to give less than maximum effort?

On observation and one quesion....
Stall appears to fall down alot, or is this my imagination?
Why does Frost play net front on the PP and not half-wall? Frost is neither big nor adept at deflections (literally the opposite of JVR), but he seems to be very good where there is a little more space on the half-wall, where he is able to utilize his puck and passing skills. Is that Tottorella not wanting him to succeed or insisteing on putting a square peg in a round hole because that is what he wants.

I once again was thoroughly entertained, and needed that laughter that came from watching
Because it seems that the coaches want to use people somewhere and make them adapt to the demand of that place rather than use people where they are best and make the design work for that.

I actually have come to think that Staal actually has a bit more mobility than I originally anticipated. He still moves decently for an older/bigger/stay-at-home style d-man. All in all, he hasn't been terrible for his role as a 7 dman.
When it comes to the PP as a whole -- the simple answer is the coaching staff has an antiquated view on the power play. They have been trying to get a 'shooter' on the half wall for the last few seasons. This goes back to when Chuck first said it a few years ago, and Rocky referenced it during a post-game presser about a month ago. They don't prioritize passing the puck to the middle of the ice for shots, they prioritize getting the puck on net from out wide and banging in a rebound. The problem is they put guys like Laughton and Tippett on the half walls. Both of these players have difficulty even getting their body turned to face the middle of the ice. This PP staff is lost, they have no idea what makes power plays successful.

@JojoTheWhale north facing bench is a key step towards an honest north-south game. with electromagnetism on our side the flyers grind will be unstoppable.
