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.
Huge. It will hold so much relevance and importance once the season starts. They will look at that 1st preseason game as a key critical moment in this upcoming seasons success.
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?
hiring torts set the orgin-eye-zation back many years.
has any team wasted more money on coaches than the flyers in recent years?
Flyers Open Training Camp: The rope is gone
Day One of the Flyers first training camp under Rick Tocchet had one big difference from past Philly camps or the current camps in Ottawa and other cities. Tocchet and his staff introduced systems concepts right off the bat. There was no bag skate (coaches prefer “conditioning skate”) to be seen: no suicides (line-to-line wind sprints), no endless laps and, most strikingly, no rope down the middle of the ice.“We’re actually getting into some systems, and playing hockey. It’s different than using a rope and skating laps, that’s for sure,” team captain Sean Couturier said.
“It goes with me everywhere,” Tortorella said with a smile. “I’ve been fired a few times; I always ask for the rope back when I’m out the door.”
It doesn’t hurt that under the new CBA rules (taking effect next year) the rope test is illegal but now Torts can tug at his rope all he wants in his house. Torts coaching methods where he was abusive to players (which crossed the line) should’ve been made illegal long ago but the Flyers love that stuff.
It’s a refreshing take from Coots regarding the new coaches and makes you wonder why the Flyers kept doubling down on Torts until Torts eventually fired himself. Working on getting everyone on the same page with the new system and prioritizing the AHL team being on the same page as the big club sounds like such a basic thing but for the Flyers it’s never even occurred to them until now.
I’m not saying the Flyers will be any better this year, there’s still a huge talent and development gap to make up, but it sounds like there’s actually adults in the room this year rather than a petulant child who airs grievances and whose main coaching tool is to play harder, not smarter.
The best thing to happen to this team in 3 years is Torts quitting on the Flyers because DB/Jonesy were prepared to ride it all the way down.
so funny danny wanted to keep torts. speaks volumes to me.
would really love to know who the main driver was in hiring him as I believe 100% it was not fletcher. that farce of a consulting firm making the recommendation is priceless.
still shocked torts has not said 1 word over what went down. guess still hopes for 1 more job doesnt want to seal his fate lashing out.
The people firing him cause daddy wants fascism are bigger pussies to be fair
shocked you didnt throw in the other original demo talking points like hitler, nazi, and dictator.
just curious did you ever bring up fascism when biden was in office.
So this site still has problems with you quote something quoted and you still need to edit your post before you can post or it just mysteriously vanishes?
Have there been any fixes over the summer? Are people still just . . .dealing with this and posting here because this at this point it’s not particularly impressive for a message board to have this many bugs.
Seems to work good enough. These platforms are dying and dead. This is what is left.
one guy completely sabotaged his own site
I believe them both to an extent; despite both being full of shit. Danny talks out both sides of his mouth. Numerous quotes over the years where he contradicts himself.
“Hilf” is a stone-cold moron. Whatever “Jonesy” and briere sell him he will eat it up.
What exactly are the fans buying into? The great bring back tocchet move?
Like it or not, The Flyers have an identity they want to put forth and they will never move away from that. They would rather die on that “Play Like A Flyer” hill than ever change it or adapt. Their 50 years of playoff success has proven……..wait…..
Whatever. I hope they do succeed using this model they mythologized over the course of the franchise. Hold on to it long enough that that league comes around to being a tough physical based game over skill based. I’m not holding my breath. Right now the Flyers lack size AND skill. ITs good they addressed some of that in this draft, at least with Martone. Either way, Ill be long dead before this team ever wins a cup.
its more amazing the number of peeps who buy their bullshit. one of the biggest con jobs in all of sports. flyers fans by far one of if not the dumbest in the league.
The end of Jimmy Kimmel
kimmel is the biggest chump out there. such a pussy. he offers nothing if he isnt talking about trump. would love to slap the shit out of him
enjoy.
watch then tell me if you think the flyers are on the path to contention. The flyers way. all one can do is shake your head. sad thing is peeps eat this shit up.
– “jonesy” on nesbitt: so and so knows the family plays tough and mean. new era of orange II. some things will never change. skill is secondary.
“jonesy” – we got size we got size. once again no mention of skill.
“jonesy” – he looks like a flyers to me. Damn calling the kid a loser already.
Tocchet – look at the character, he will block shots, then the skill. pure gold
once a flyer always a flyer.
