no they get judged on an individual basis. not a package.
facts hurt for flyers fans. it is a fact they stink. how can one argue otherwsie.
Based on all publicly available information. Pedigree, traits, track record, projections, etc. The Flyers chose poorly. Is that future 100% written in stone? No, but for the love of god I wish some fans would have a basis of opinion that’s more than just wishful thinking.
at the end of the day IMO the flyers do not value talent first or not the #1 reason to draft a player. might not even be in their top 2.
I listed 16 horrible facts from last season. None of which is in dispute including the general consensus that Tocchet’s hiring is more wishful thinking by the Flyers and that’s all you got out of it?
Five of your horrible facts mention Torts specifically and a lot of the rest were a direct result of HIS tenure. THIS JUST IN: Torts is gone. How can anyone in their right mind claim Tocchet isn’t an upgrade over Torts? And I don’t care that Torts won a cup in 2004. A general consensus over what they think will happen and not what actually will happen? That’s all you got. Last season was last season. Even I’m saying Drysdale needs to clean it up on D or hope he can hold onto a 3rd pairing role and Brink will be pushed out by somebody bigger sooner rather than later. Do you disagree with that in terms of this coming season? Who else is the problem?
Upgrade in coaching. Upgrade in goal. Upgrades at center. No doubt 100% they can go form 4th worse to 7th worse. That is progress.
Go flyers. Go new era of orange part duex.
brink or any player needs to be pushed out by someone more talented. not someone just bigger.
Why they refused to move RR when they had the chance just show more incompetence. RR is a solid bottom pair defenseman. Hopefully, they re-sign him to a 2 year ext as briere says would be a big hole if they move him. Beyond laughable. I get the GM speak though when it comes to the flyers don’t think that is the case.
As for Noah2 he is what he is a 6/7. Though he will get the benefit of the doubt because of the coach. Grans should be in that spot or someone else who may actually have a future with this team.
“Remember how hard the Flyers/Comcast media pushed Torts “fictional” accountability and being “hard to play against” (old time Flyers hockey!). Get ready for the same, the savior has arrived, media push. Pushing Tocchet’s openness and accessibility just as hard as they promoted Torts combativeness and disregard for modern hockey with the same level of realistic analysis, none. Remember how much we were told the players loved Torts and to not look behind the curtain. Tocchet’s going to be promoted as the Dali Lama. They have a product to sell, it’s entertainment to make money, hockey is what happens during the commercials.”
I stopped following the Flyers Torts’ first two seasons. The franchise was clearly in the toilet. He kept the doors open, I suppose. That’s the best I can say about him. Watched last year and the team was still bad in most respects but there were players who showed something and I like the off season changes. Maybe if you had taken time away from the Flyers at their truly incompetent bottom, you wouldn’t be so bitter, angry and irrational. Pro tip: Zegras is going to deliver the goods and his presence in the Top 6 is going to help every line.

The two aren’t remotely comparable.
The best comp will be the package of Buium and Perrault against Bonk and Luchanko but it’s way to early to judge. Of course, you already made your judgment: Flyers Suck!

Why he did have 2 less than optimum opportunities? Why hasn’t a good organization ever hired him ?
Do you think the flyers are an optimum opportunity? So make that 3 of 4 slappy.
Already told u what I would have done. Would also have taken a chance on an outside the box hire; not another proven loser retread. It’s awesome seeing the flyers trip over themselves. Another big culture win year coming up
You swallow everting the flyers put out. Wipe your chin.
Tocchet liked the opportunity better than his other offers. They wanted him back in VAN. But, of course, you know more about hockey than Tocchet, so I’ll defer to you. Hahahaha! Bottom line: You can’t even read a winning percentage stat. I’ve gone back and forth with you a couple months now and see no evidence you have any idea what you’re talking about when it comes to hockey. You just regurgitate every misguided hockey cliche you’ve heard over the last several years. Monkey hear, monkey repeat.
no you cant as you don’t even know what stat your posting fucking dope.

He liked the 25 plus million that no other team even came close to offering you fn dope. Then a job for life.
What’s that old saying. I have forgotten more about hockey this you will ever know. Funny how you rarely answer any questions thrown your way.
Enjoy sucking the flyers cock. Your like that chic who will continue to do it no matter what when called upon
His career is underwhelming. Below .500z Accept it slap nuts.
How did last season go in Vancouver?
You’re entitled to your own opinion but not your own math. He’s .516 with two less than optimum opportunities out of three. How did last season go in Philadelphia with Torts? Which genius coach should the Flyers have replaced Torts with?
Why he did have 2 less than optimum opportunities? Why hasn’t a good organization ever hired him ? Remove the shootout wins.

I do not prfer either. Torts was a terrible hire. They both are extremely underwhelming. Rather kept Shaw for a 2 year stop gap.
He has a losing coaching record does he not?
Wonder why no top end teams have ever hired tocchet. He offers next to nothing. Coaches loser teams from loser organizations
He had a .608 win percentage in Vancouver. He actually got Phoenix to the playoffs. I know that doesn’t satisfy your lofty standards.

wow 2 cups as an assistant. that is top notch stuff. torts has one as a head coach. coach of the year. impressive. bill barber was COY at on epoint.
what is his career coaching record as a head coach?
So of you’d prefer Torts, why not just say it?
How is Tocchet’s HC record terrible? He’s gotten better results as his opportunities got better.
