The Flyers are only 3-3-4 in their last 10. .500, not good enough. A win tonight and the go 4-2-4 in the last 10, .600 hockey. Much better with the next four games vs. inferior opponents. Pivotal game. Vladar starting is good news.
This game against the Canucks could be the lowest event hockey game I’ve ever watched. 🤮
The reason why the Leafs are so bad this year, is because the let the fans dictate how to run the team.
In order to win in today’s NHL you needs to be selfless. Meaning you need to play at all ends of the ice. You can’t have guys learning basic defensive positioning and have them being your leaders. Your leader needs to be fearless, they need to set the tone.
At the end of the day I don’t blame the fans, people are just shallow and stupid these days. Instagram influences opinions of players, not their play on the ice. So the fans are too stupid to know what’s good for the team. But for management to give into pressure and let their best player walk for nothing, while rewarding selfish players is completely unacceptable. I was excited when they hired Berube because I thought there was a chance he’d either improve Nylander’s overall game, or force him off the team. Turns out Tre either didn’t have the power to move him, or the stones to move him.
Guys, it’s over. Not only was I right about everything, it happened quicker than even I could have expected.
They’ve been a poorly constructed team for many, many, years now, and then they lost one of their best players, that’s why they’re bad. There was high-end offence, which is fun and fine in the regular season, but when you start to play meaningful games and other teams, good teams, start to shift their focus to a more complete 200 foot game, that’s something the Leafs couldn’t do. They lacked depth, and they lacked quality goaltending.
I guess we’ll find out soon enough, but Tre had the balls to try to get Mitch to waive to bring in Rants, so maybe he’ll make the hard-to-make moves now.
The next 6-8 months will define his career. Not stellar in Calgary, can he turn it around in Toronto?
Looks like whoever you cheer for, Whipper, turns into a mess of an organization. You did it to the Flames all those years ago, and now you’re doing it to the Leafs…LOL!
Sabres will probably have a bit of an emotional burst due to the GM replacement, Flyers just need to weather any early storm and they should be ok.
They also need to use Ersson so Vladar doesn’t tire. Around 54 games should be the max for Vladar. That’s 2/3 of the starts.
The most games Vladar has ever played in a season is 30, last season in Cowtown, playing 54 games would be a huge stretch in my opinion. He’s already at 20 though.
How bout dem Flyers!!! Third in the Metro almost halfway through the season, who’d a thunk it. Let’s GO Flyers!!!
they are adverse to that, when you look at who they draft. They do not draft those high end types. need those flyer 200 ft players. that is how you win in this league. depth
LOL – this is completely untrue but not unexpected from you, you’re such a drama queen it’s somewhat laughable, if it wasn’t so pathetic. Briere’s first draft in 2023 they took two offensive kids in Michkov and Bonker in the first round. They also took Barkey that year, he’s small but he’s a highly offensive kid. The year after he was drafted he finished 4th in OHL scoring with 102 points. These are not 200 foot juggernauts, they’re high-end skilled kids.
2024 was a bit of a shit draft year outside the top six kids, they drafted for position there and if you look behind Luchanko and Berglund there’s no one screaming out that they should’ve taken this kid, or that kid. 2025 again they took a high offensive guy in Martone, he finished 7th in OHL scoring with 98 points.
Tippett Drysdale Michkov and 1st

Turtleneck boy 🤬No deal…it’s your own mess, you clean it up.
Well, it looks as though the Leafs window is solidly closed, not sure it was ever open with a flawed, top heavy, roster. Time to start shedding assets and start over again. You had a good run of some entertaining regular season hockey though, so there is that.
Not exactly a high-event game yesterday but they managed to scratch out another point, still in a WC position. Scoring is a real issue for the team, they’re the second lowest scoring team in the Easter Conference, they badly need to draft and develop some high-end offensively skilled players. Specifically at center!!
Hughes, although a fantastic player, isn’t what the Flyers need right now. They need to keep drafting, developing and building from within, now’s not “go time” as Hexy once said, in terms of adding pieces to the roster via trade.
Sharks have been rebuilding for what, two and a half years? Man they’re loaded with young talent but you need that coveted first overall pick in a draft that has top young center in it. I looked at the top ten in NHL scoring this morning and five of the top ten players are first overall picks, one is second overall and another is third overall. Sharks are gonna be an absolute wagon in a few years once these kids mature and they surround them with a good complimentary group of players.
You really can’t make this stuff up. Crest and culture are the way to build a winner. This is the most out of touch franchise in all of sports. Obe that includes the jets, browns, raiders, pirates, and others
The organization just might wanna think about continuing to acquire talent through the draft, that might be more important. That being said, there’s nothing wrong with your coach wanting your players to be proud of the crest they’re representing. I would think every team wants that from their players.
