As for the Jett. He skates fast, great. Wont mean a damn thing if he can’t produce.
He actually used his speed to close gaps very effectively defensively. He just has to produce more than the guys he’s competing for a spot against.
An offensive zone turnover combined with a bad D pairing change led to the first goal. A weak bleeder on Ersson was goal against two. Suzuki made a shot for the third. Flyers didn’t get enough the other way to overcome that. They were flat and outplayed badly in the first period. After that, the play was more even with the Flyers getting some good chances and both their goals. Bump looked good again. Luchanko looked fast. Kolosov stopped pucks.
Only an idiot like yourself would think they bottomed out last season. You must really love incompetence.
Comparing the flyers and Carolina is so on point for a well-educated flyers fan like you.
Only an idiot would think I compared Carolina to the Flyers there. Logan Stankovic is 5-8, 173 lbs. Say hello to your new favorite
player. He’s a needle mover!https://www.espn.com/nhl/player/stats/_/id/4874899/logan-stankoven
as I said you are a fucking dope. when did they bottom out? working out fine, only a flyers cock sucker would believe that. go flyers.
Everything about you screams “can’t function in civilized society.”
They bottomed out late last season. It’s over now. You can come out of the bomb shelter. Carolina has a lot of small, skilled players. Maybe you should start following them.
it isnt a non-answer. your just dumb.
its not about the players he coached. overall organization wide it set them back a lot.you really are a fucking dope. you have no common sense or smarts. can’t even buy a clue.
That’s really nice language and on a Tuesday no less. Sorry you got frustrated because your brain seized up again when asked a simple question. Pro Tip: Professional athletes are mentally tougher than you are. How did Torts “overall organization wide. . . set them back a lot”? His three years of missing the playoffs got them better draft picks and deadline dumps got them more assets. Now that it’s in the rear view mirror, Torts helped lead to their bottoming out, which “big picture”, is working out fine.
if you took a big picture/long term approach you would understand why.
Thanks for the non-answer. How will the ghost of Torts impact Zegras this year? As far as long term goes, do you think Martone will be damaged by Torts’ ghost?
it is not irrelevant. not sure how one can say otherwise.
How is it relevant? Are players not getting enough sleep because they’re waking up from nightmares of Torts demanding they block shots?
did hiring torts set this franchise back? yes or no.
I only watched last year and saw a bad team with quite a few good players. How is that possible with a coach in his third year if he’s not an issue? I would say yes but all that is irrelevant going forward.
It would be nice if you would add to the conversation instead of just trolling but you are what you are I guess.
Still Terry became an important part of Flyers history lest we forget, who, like Torts, was hired by clueless executives to return the Flyers to glory after missing the playoffs. Jay Snider was in charge while Russ Farwell was GM and Terry brought them all down. A real murderers row of executives. Terry’s failure in his lone year as coach caused Ed Snider to take back the team presidency from Jay and Russ’s final act before he himself was fired was to fire Terry.
There might be a lesson there but seriously the coach/co-GM who was just let go only a few months ago is extremely relevant to the current players and make up of the current front office.
Pot? Meet kettle. Actually, Farwell did some good things during his tenure. He fixed the drafting, despite the Jagr pass, traded for Brind’Amour and Lindros, despite the Forsberg inclusion. Torts is not extremely relevant to the current players. These guys are focused on right now. Perhaps a handful are still traumatized about a bad coach they had in pee-wees.
Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it. Are you in favor of the Flyers repeating their past mistakes?
Lest we forget, Torts was only one head of the hydra. It was a triumvirate. The remaining 2 heads would prefer you ignore the bloody stump.
Boy, that Terry Simpson was an awful Flyers coach. His failure in the 93-94 season is still hampering the team to this day!
Torts, Torts, Torts! Bad Torts is gone, never to return, unless the Flyers decide to retire his sweat suit. You all would have been far better off if you had stopped following the Flyers, like me, when he was first hired. Then you wouldn’t be suffering from Post Traumatic Torts Syndrome.
As far as the article itself. Need to stop worrying about zegras and his defensive play. Trying to force him into something he is not will fail. Let him loose offensively so to speak. Not saying he must abandon defensive coverage stop making it the #1 priority. Puts much unneeded pressure on him that wont allow him to play his game.
Let nesbitt hype begin. Will nesbitt end up the better nhl player over the jett?
When you don’t have the puck, defense is the #1 priority for everybody. Tocchet has said as much. This places him with a significant majority of NHL coaches. Zegras can’t play defense is another mythical narrative created by Negadelphians. It’s not like the future Selke winner’s improvement hasn’t been in the works a while as evidenced in the link below:

Nesbitt has looked surprisingly good so far. He plays the position really well, has great reach, good hands. He’s stronger on his skates than he looked in the small sample of tape I saw from last year. He’s going back to Windsor eventually and I would expect he’ll have a huge season there. Jett might still make the team.
The Flyers did a really important thing last night: They stole two points on the road. Solid 1st, bad 2nd although Grebenkin-Zegras-Michkov warmed a bit after not much in the 1st, and they tied things up late in the 3rd. Once things got to the shootout, I was pretty confident they’d grab point 2. They’re going to steal shootout points with Zegras and Michkov. Goalies were good, Drysdale was surprisingly very good.
We’re seeing some pairs shape up. Michkov and Couturier are staying together. Good news for Zegras fans. Konecny is his right winger.
You are a fraud. Its ok.
Club hockey is for mostly the little johnny’s of the world. To extend their playing days. Nothing wrong with it mind you.
You telling me how college club hockey operates operate is pure entertainment. Thanks for the education lesson.
What? Hahahaha. Are you drinking again or have you gone off your meds?
