ParticipantFlyer frank you really are a bozo. A dumb fuck.
Wow they have a better win % than last year. Get back to me when the season is over. Then compare
Wow they are in the playoff race. As is every team except the Rangers. What a high bar. They were in playoff “race” last year.This team is no different than when the putz took over.
Same cliched BS that is 100% correct. That upsets you as it shows how much of an uneducated flyers fan you show on a daily basis.
Are the flyers on the path to cup contention?
Have you suffered some traumatic brain injury that causes mid-term memory issues? The collapse last year started when they dumped Frost and Farabee to Calgary in late January. There were already a couple games behind this year’s pace when that collapse started. They ended up 15 points out of a playoff spot.

Participantthe flyers love blind fans like you. you are the target market.
even stevie wonder can see this team isnt very good and the franchise is poorly run.
shit you probably think tocchet is doing a good job
Does the team have a better win percentage this year than they did last year? Yes, significantly so. Are they in the playoff race? Yes, 2.5 games out with a third of the season left. Are the team’s obvious shortcomings improvable over this coming off season? Yes.

yes its me 2050Participantgo flyers. brick by brick.
they wouldn’t be able to get all that in 10 offseasons. When will you admit this is a poorly run incompetent franchise.
The improvement over last year’s team is still notable. Last year: .463 win pct. This year: .545. The areas where they can and must improve, aside from the obvious need for a reliable #2 goalie, is physical size and mental toughness. They look small out there against too many other teams. Even their bigger guys are about the same size as their opponents, which is OK. Too many smaller guys. That Anaheim game was the tell. They won that battle but lost the war when they saw two of their guys get knocked out. They were playing .622 hockey and then the bottom fell out. That’s where the slump started. They’re 3-3-2 in their last 8. Not good enough to gain ground in any race. Hopefully, they can win Thursday vs. Ottawa and come back and play close to their full potential, which I still think is .600 hockey.

yes its me 2050Participantthey need a #1 and #2 center
they need 2 top 4 dman. with at least 1 being a #1.
they need a better goalie.
they need better coaching.
they need a better GM.Team is in pretty much the exact same spot since danny boy took over. How anyone can have any hope that this team is on the road to contention is nothing but a straight up delusional fool.
You’re not getting all that in one off season. Zegras can still develop into a reliable PPG guy and play center but he is still bad at faceoffs. The rest of his centering game is fine. That’s one spot. The better goalie is a #2, so that’s not a tough fix. They’re going to have jump on an opportunity for a #1/2 Dman or center and need to build out their depth to put a package together to get that. Probably a two year project.

ParticipantBriere said the team overachieved up until January 6 and underachieved since then. He believes the reality is somewhere in between.
The reality is closer to the .600 team before January 6. They have to move away from Errson and his league worst save percentage. At least this year, it’s one awful goalie instead of three. They need another guy there. They also need another top 4 Dman.
Vladar : .939 in October, followed by .894 in November, .905 in December, and .876 in January.
Which of those months is not like the others? His season hasn’t been as great as it seems in the moment. The Flyers went 6-9 in Dec, well below .600 the month before January. The Flyers were boosted by early season wins and OT Loser points and a crappy division where most of that time the difference between first and last was about 10-12 points. They were “underachieving” well before 1/6/26 it just took awhile for momentum to catch up to them. The Flyers aren’t a team that looks to fix things that anyone can see are broken when they are winning which is one of the reasons why things snowball.
Vlad had a .929 last night, well above his season average of .904, and needed every save. He will need to continue to do this for the next 4 months for the Flyers to have a chance.
Adding players? If you are talking about possibly making a run at being a playoff bubble team, maybe, but as far as becoming a real contender they aren’t any closer than they were 3+ years ago. Could the bar be set any lower?
