https://sports.yahoo.com/article/flyers-rick-tocchet-drops-idiot-220947610.html
The Flyers, at least according to one report have a 9% chance to make the playoffs going into this game and have admitted the end game of their retool was to buy the elite talent they need in 2026 FA (much like Fletcher). Hence all the “we’re done subtracting, pushing for the playoffs, playoffs in sight, etc. It was never a rebuild and the plan to buy the talent in what was supposed to be a talent rich UFA this year is not possible because the cap went up in a way Jonesy, with no financial or managerial experience, could have foreseen.
It does explain why they repeatedly passed on talent in the draft for “culture” and “200 ft” and this last draft “size”. Toc wasn’t hired to develop young players, he has no discernable track record of that, he was hired to attract those UFA players starting this summer.
I stumbled upon this article from over the summer.
When asked by The Athletic’s Kevin Kurz. Tocchet says he has thought about playing Trevor Zegras with Matvei Michkov when the Flyers’ season begins.
“We’d be idiots not to explore it and talk about it, and try to manifest it where it can work,” Tocchet told Kurz. “Can it work? I don’t know.”It only took him 50 games and the Flyers being nearly eliminated from the playoff race to Zegras at center with Michkov on his wing in extended play so i guess he is an idiot by his own admission. Most assumed Michkov on the right wing instead of left but baby steps, Toc is still learning.

Caps are somewhat reeling as well. Flyers very much still in the playoff mix. The other EC just as inconsistent as the flyers. Many underperforming.
Tocchet is a bozo coach and the front office thinking this clown would attract top level free agents shows how incompetent they have shown to be. Just a terrible coaching hire.
“Jonesy” is a flat out liar and bad used car salesman. Shows his incompetence every time he speaks.
You have a coach throwing the franchise player under the bus at almost every turn. Who will the choose Tocchet or MM?

“Caps are somewhat reeling as well. Flyers very much still in the playoff mix. The other EC just as inconsistent as the flyers. Many underperforming.”
They’re 2.5 games out of a playoff spot with 1/3 of the season left. 2-3-2 in their last 7. That’s not going to be good enough to make up ground. They need to play better than their first half .600 hockey to make the playoffs. Not seeing any signs that’s going to happen. Third year in a row now the Flyers have had a significant collapse later in the season. First two, they lost key guys to suspension or trade. Don’t have that excuse this year.

unlike you, many others seen what was coming and the flyers are in the spot many thought they would be. just a collapse on the flyers end. the team and organization stink.
can anyone tell me what the flyers winning % is? haven’t seen it in a while.

There are no excuses but Kevin Kurz is going to try like hell to give them one.

if you can’t overcome the loss of the Forest then you were never good to begin with.
They still played .600 hockey, 7-4-4, after Foerster went down. It was after the Anaheim game where Drysdale and Brink got knocked out of action after dirty hits when the team fell apart. They’ve been 2-8-2 since. Vladar got hurt during that stretch. Did not help. Team needs to get bigger, tougher, meaner as well as better.

big yawn. nothing but excuses. the team was never that good. losing middling depth players doomed them lol.
you and the flyers management think the same hence why they will conitnue to suck for the next 5 years minimum.
no the team needs to add skill before all else. bigger tougher and meaner will get them where exactly?

If the team is so unskilled, how did they play .600 hockey for half the season? No excuses. I said when they were going good only injuries would knock then out of the playoffs but the injuries they sustained shouldn’t have been enough to do that. They had them but they were spread around and only lasted long enough to get them into a season destroying slump. Good teams overcome adversity better than the Flyers have.

the team is the same as 3 years ago. they are unskilled only dopes like you think otherwise. they were riding a goalie having a career 2 months is why. but hey go flyers. what will the PR slogan next year? another new era of orange III

what are the flyers current winning % in the conf? you were strutting your feathers around for a month. Now that reality has set in not so much.
you like flyers management are dumb as a stump.

Hahahaa! Because, unlike you, when a sports team goes bad, I find other things to focus on. I’m still shocked by the reality of their recent 2-8-2 stretch. Injuries triggered it, but they weren’t significant enough to excuse this collapse.

They need to learn how to play from the Christmas break to the Trade Deadline… that’s the time period everything goes off the rails and sinks the season every year, and this season was no different.

Danny boy looking like someone caught red handed being sweated by the cops. He had a bigger word salad saying nothing than Tocchet did during the carnival.
Friedman said Danny needed to step up to put out the fire and all Danny did was say, in 100+ words, nothing to see here, move on.

Last three season? Yup. This year is inexcusable though. They didn’t dump (Frost/Farabee was a dump), have the league suspend or trade players.

No matter what excuses are put forward, it has happened multiple seasons. I’d say the problems run deeper than injury or trades.

Hard to believe they won tonight. Vladar is team MVP. When he’s not on top of his game they have no chance.
WHY? Caps on a back to back with a 3rd string goalie.

yep lack of talent and average at best coaching. team just isn’t that good and the standing reflect that.
the early “success” is a mirage. after the 1st couple months teams then ramp it up and are playing with more urgency as the games get tighter.
2/3/26 – the day the flyer franchise turns it around
-
WHY? Caps on a back to back with a 3rd string goalie.
and still outplayed the Flyers. Vladar made several 10 bell saves and, if i recall correctly, the caps missed an open net.
The Flyers are most likely going to end up outside of the playoffs and outside the top 5 picks but this should help that comcast gate revenue.
DB looked absolutely thrilled to have to give a pregame press conference defending his coach. The win bought them some more time. I was kind of hoping for OT there in the 3rd.

really hope they get a pick in the 10-14 range as that is what they deserve. Then pick the next jett luchenko.
the fact this GM seems lockstep with the coach at this stage is hysterical. Danny is a clown and in over his head. miscalculated and mismanaged almost everything. What on tocchet resume screamed out he is who we need to coach this team.
on a positive note, it will be funny seeing Risot not play in a playoff game again this spring.

Briere 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.
-
they 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.

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?

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.

go 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.

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.

good read
Same cliched bullshit that every other idiot who doesn’t know hockey spews. No wonder you’re impressed.
-
Flyer 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.
