crazy thing is they are still very much in the playoff race. couple games out.
It is crazy they’re still in the race, a very long shot now, after going 3-8-4 in their last 15 games since the ANA game. They were 22-12-7 the first half of the season.
Seeing talk from Canadian media that Konecny and Tippett could go with the right return. Konecny is a .95 PPG player over the last 4 seasons and is proved durable. Tippett is big, can skate, averages 27 goals per 82 games over the same 4 seasons and is more durable than Konecny. The Flyers need more size up front, not less. People gripe about the lack of production from the center spots. They aren’t wrong but these two guys are delivering without it. Package better be extraordinary. Need a proven #1/2 C or a Top 4 Dman to consider it.
brink is the only one I see not being on this team next season. draft or deadline trade.
What was I saying as soon as this board opened?
Brink and Barkey both in the Top 9 leaves you with too small a Top 9. They’ve also got a few 185-190 guys, not small, just average. Now Carolina has a small team up front too, but look at their smaller guys. Aho, PPG guy, Jarvis, close to it, Ehlers, not far behind Jarvis and all three are much better producers than Barkey or Brink.
With Andrae in, along with average to smallish for Dmen York and Drysdale, it’s a small blue line too.
I have no problem with Grebenkin or Bonk who is still a kid and will fill out to 200. Martone is the guy. No worries there, just not 100% sure he’ll turn pro next year. Small with average at best skills gets smashed in the NHL regular season let alone playoffs.
The Kings got Panarin for a prospect + a conditional third and signed him for $11M for two years.
Panarin would only waive for the Kings. It was the only place he was willing to be traded to and gave them a sweetheart extension deal. The Flyers were never in.
Again with size over skill.
The Flyers are noticeably small on the ice. Not everybody, but their smaller guys are noticeably small and don’t have elite skills. If they did, they would be playing.
The Flyers need to play great (like .680 hockey great) the rest of the way to have a shot at the playoffs.
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.
the flyers love blind fans like you. you are the target market.
even stevie wonder can see this team isnt very good and the franchise is poorly run.
shit you probably think tocchet is doing a good job
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.
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.
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.
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.
