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?
I did ask. See post: September 16, 2025 at 3:32 pm. Turd. Don’t need to live near delco to understand what was asked. Did you play youth club hockey? What level? Tier 2? 1? In house little Johhny league?
You wouldn’t even be able to make a college club team unless they had 3 or 4 teams deep and they have no cuts. They would gladly take your money.
Told you played nerf hockey at the YMCA several times.
I wouldn’t have been able to make a college club team when I was in college. So what? College club teams play club teams that represent other colleges you idiot. So you never played organized hockey and never attended college. Seems about right.
“Collegiate club sports in the United States are any sports offered at a university or college in the United States that compete competitively with other universities, or colleges, but are not regulated by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) or National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), and do not have varsity status.”

The fact you do not know what youth club hockey (delco phantoms, Haverford hawks, junior flyers and the like) is, is funny. Where did you play midgets at? Rizzo rink.
Then why didn’t you ask if I played youth club hockey if that’s what you meant? Because you’re an idiot? Non-varsity college teams are called club hockey teams. When it comes to hockey, you don’t know what you’re talking about at any level. Why do you assume I grew up in this area? Why should I care or even know about the Delco Phantoms or Haverford Hawks? I don’t live near Delco. Hahahaha! Not surprisingly, your “gotchas” are imbecilic. Have you ever played organized ice hockey at any level? Have you ever been tested for cognitive dysfunction?
– you didn’t answer my question. Did you play club level hockey? If so what level
Club level hockey? Not even sure what you mean by that. Can you be a little more vague please. Not sure you do either. You could mean college club teams, and no, I did not play in college. Stopped at midgets as a kid and picked it back up later. Did you? If you did, you clearly didn’t learn much from the experience. Already outlined in plenty of detail my most recent play level.
