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

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.

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?

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.
