Opening Night Wrapup: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
Contain their top two lines with ours, fight their 4th line with ours and hope the Cates line makes the extra shot. That looks like the plan.
Who saw this coming? Hahahaha! The Cates line badly outplayed FLA’s 3rd line. The orgasms over how well they played from some folks reveal a lack of understanding about actual on-ice matchups. FLA’s 3rd line is a problem for them against deeper teams. Of course, the Cates line delivered, which was obviously needed. The Flyers top 2 lines did not outplay FLA’s top 2 lines. FLA’s top 2 lines are still great. When Barkov and Tkachuk are healthy, FLA has 3 great lines. They still had their top tier D and goaltending. Vladar was great. Game came down to who made the extra shot. It was Marchand. He outplayed Konecny who failed to bury a much better chance. D held up well enough under the circumstances.
jake is/was a loser. every wonder why no contending teams never had any interest in him despite the numbers he put up?
there is no plan, no path to contention, nothing but hope and luck.
Nothing but “the Flyers way.”
flyers hockey. born to be a flyer. gold standard.
The flyers think their name carries clout. It doesn’t. these young players today, all they know about the flyers is being losers the last 15 years. This is what they have seen growing up. This is what they have witnessed. Flyers are just simply out of touch with reality.

there was never a rebuild therefore the flyers “had” to keep him. key core player. true flyer.
this is just another wasted year spinning their wheels. until the dumb ass flyers fans wake up and stop going to the games, nothing will change
Said this about the Voracek extension a decade ago. Not that I had a problem with the player, but we were fed the rebuild line at that time as well, and he seemed like an unneeded luxury that could have brought a decent return to help that supposed rebuild along.
Funny thing… the “culture” is there. Problem is, it’s a culture of questionable decisions that really never play out in the Flyers favor.

I will never fault a guy for taking the bag. that being said you made your bad that’s where you lie. no pearly gates when you die. we tried to teach you didn’t learn. your going down your gonna burn.
all 3 would have got paid no matter where they went. they choose to stay because they are comfortable and complacent. no pressure situation. winning wasnt/isnt a priority for them. this is why they all needed to be moved and cut the cord
This was brought up during Konecny’s extension. It wasn’t that Konecny wasn’t going to get the money from someone, it was whether the Flyers should be the one paying him being at the start of a “rebuild” and years away from contention. Little did we know the “rebuild” would only last 2 years.

– Its sad how nauseating JJ and bocher have become.
– Love hearing JJ say TK ex selke Sanheim are at the stage they want to win now. Wont happen unless they ask for a trade. Hope all 3 are miserable as that is what you have earned when you re-signed.
– JJ with the brick by brick flyers propaganda. Guess boucher also got his brick by brick talking point.
– Dvorak with more ice time than MM
– Same boring bland team. 20 mostly harmless shots.
– JD is just there, what exactly does he offer?
– ND with quality play in his 7+ minutes. He is much needed on that bench.
– Cates looked good. One positive.
– Goalie gave them a chance.
– Looking forward to hearing all year how this team works hard, never quits, and all the other flyers nonsense. Like they are the only team with such qualities.
– There is zero reason to sit the 2 they sat. they both need to play. This is what a “rebuilding” team would do no? however its playoffs or bust for the flyers need that vet presence. Just another short term view approach. Don’t want to hear well its only 1 game. BS either way. Send them both to other leagues if not going to be regulars in the lineup.
I always love hearing that when players take the bag to play for a bad team and then expect the fairy godmother to waive the magic wand. They didn’t care about winning until after they took the money.
