Flyers are actively getting worse as the season goes on.
The Flyers start the season in playoff mode while other teams ramp up. Other teams have another gear, the Flyers don’t. They have been redlining since Oct.
Zegras has 2 goals in his last 10 and 5 in his last 20 which is more in line with what he was doing in Anh versus the first month of the season. His shooting precentage was 50% above his career early on and has been falling back to the mean ever since.
The way the Flyers were winning was unsustainable and everyone knew it except for the true believers.

nothing will change until the people in charge wake up and realize the flyers way of running a franchise is the wrong way.
still laughing at the dvorak ext. there was zero need to do it at that time if at all.
cant wait to hear the spin from the wonder twins after the season.

So the Flyers hit the wall in December, essentially the same pattern they’ve shown the past 5 seasons.
Still having trouble understanding why some thought this team was better when their big offseason moves was signing a back-up goalie (yes, Vladar started well, but hit a wall as expected), a 3rd/4th line center (who has parlayed a hot start into a deal that will handcuff this franchise for the foreseeable future), and a AHL defenseman (guess Juulsen was a need as there’s no NHL talent in the minors).
And yes, one can’t help but laugh at the Dvorak extension, and as has been said on previous posts, it’s only a matter of time until their most important blue-liner who can’t seem to stay on the ice is signed to an extension.
This franchise can’t stay out of its own way, and why anyone would think otherwise puzzles me. While they may talk a good game, none of their actions over the past 15 years says they’re serious about being anything more than a team hoping for the playoffs, yet coming up short year in and year out.

Don’t look now but the feel good story of Oct-Nov, Zegras, is in a major slump. He’s been Anaheim Zegras since the new year.
I still expect DB to give him a 5 year 8mill/yr contract with full NMC.
assuming Zegras wants a long-term deal. Left a bad ducks team for an even worse flyers team.
Though his BFF are here so he will sign and get complacent just like the others.
GH with more ice time than MM and ND only less than a minute in ice time compared to MM. Great coaching.

Neither rain, nor snow, nor becoming an extremely embarrassing to the franchise internet meme will keep Flyers coaches from rewarding their big 4th line grinders over skilled players.
It’s so freaking stupid. I know i talk to much about the Eagles but Tocchet is the Flyers Kevin Patullo. It doesn’t matter how much anyone on the outside can see the trainwreck happening in real time, the powers that be will stay the course.

I miss flyer frank telling everyone the flyers winning % on a daily basis.
Tocchet was a terrible hire that 95% knew it was terrible. Did the flyers even interview anyone else?

Flyers show no pushback after questionable hit on Matvei Michkov
I hope Michkov requests a trade. The team treats him as if he was the proverbial red-headed step child. From ice-time, to where they play him, to what he get’s blamed for in press conferences. It’s just embarrassing.

The line with Zegras centering Michkov and Brink had numerous rough shifts. They may require patience to find some chemistry. On Thursday, the undersized trio had trouble generating or sustaining pressure. Having Zegras at center means almost guaranteed faceoff losses (1-for-12). It also creates defensive problems because Tocchet expects centers to bear the heaviest burden of covering turf on both sides and through the middle. However, the Flyers are so thin at center, there may be no other choice right now.>
..
There’s no comfort in the credited hits disparity (36-15). It meant two things: 1) The Bruins had the puck a lot more than Philly, and 2) the Flyers’ fourth line did their job. Among the Flyers’ hits, Deslauriers had nine in 12:12 of ice time. Hathaway had seven in 12:50. Couturier had five in 13:57. That’s 21 right there.Is it to early to say Anaheim had it right with Zegras, in that he can’t play center at the NHL level? I get the Flyers have to and i’m glad it only took them 50+ games to actually give him a long look at center but this is how evaluation works. He is so godawful at faceoffs and not great on defense. If he can’t improve, which he has shown no signs of improving, then you move on.
I guess my point is they need top end centers, Zegras was traded for to potentially fill a center role and then ended up playing wing for 50 games without ever getting a long look at center. How does that make sense? Honestly Tocchet’s roster decisions have been looney tunes all season and Vladar’s early season dominance allowed Tocchet to evade scrutiny.
How many times when asked about Michkov did he point to the fact they won rather than answer the question?
Also down multiple goals almost the entire game and the 4th line get’s that much time? Between the 3 of them that’s what, 1 goal in the last 30 games? Well at least they were tough to play against, that’ll show the Bruins not to mess with the Flyers.
