Michkov 10 min icetime in a game the Flyers trailed basically the entire game and by 2 in the first.
ND 9.5 minutes. Just ridiculous.<p class=”userway-s15-active” style=”font-family: UDF, serif !important; transition: all;” data-userway-s15-styled=”true”>At least they got the loser point. Without the 3rd Kings goal being offside they wouldn’t even have gotten that.
The coach clearly has no answers or clue how to “turn” it around.
The GM is a pussy as he won’t say a word to tocchet or “jonesy” . He is a scared little dog or he agrees. Seeing how they judge talent he just may.
A hopeless organization. Be so funny if martone say thanks will spend another year in college.
Hard to believe TK will be 29 shortly, just a year away from leaving his prime. I hope the Flyers are ready to compete for a cup next year.
Nice to see Zegras continue to get a look at center, better late than never i guess. You have to give DB something to base team needs on.
For the love of god, maybe, i don’t know, let Michkov play right wing once in awhile? If it’s acceptable for him to play out of position all the time why isn’t it acceptable for other players to do it so it’s not always him?
Andrae a healthy scratch for Juulsen again.
There isn’t a single Top 6 center on this team, are we sure Danny knows the definition of a rebuild?
imagine catering to Brink and Tippet over MM so they can play the right side.
Andrae has no future here either. Zamula seems to be doing ok in the 14 minutes a night he is getting in Columbus. Waiting for the 1 year Juulsen ext. Absolute disgrace he plays over the other 2.
The latter option is a concern because it shows the shortcomings of a rebuild that’s been years in the works. It means that the Flyers had to sign Dvorak, not knowing whether they had the center to replace him. If Jett Luchanko isn’t the answer and Jack Nesbitt, whom the Flyers traded up to select in the first round of the latest draft, isn’t either, this rebuild is in trouble.
This is the same reason why they’ll re-sign a completely broken-down Rasmus Ristolainen… who in the system is coming in to replace him? Funny how the entire organization has gone completely silent about Oliver Bonk. I get that he was injured, but not a word about him since his return. As for the rest of the guys in the system, not an NHL defenseman in the bunch.
As for the two centers mentioned… neither is the answer.
It looks a lot like what Edmonton did over the years… drafted the same player over and over (in our case, wingers) and wondered why they never seemed to progress in the standings.
BONK is injured again. Zevagrin hasn’t played in over a month. not a peeps from any beats
imagine thinking Dvorak is a key player for this team. There lies one of the problems.
also need to stop with this rebuild bullshit. There never has been any fucking rebuild. stop with the false narrative. All they have to show for this pseudo rebuild is Martone and MM
“In the previous two years we would be quick to make changes in order to get better for the future. Now, it would be about staying on course, which is advancing. It’s not about moving back,” Jones said.
..
Hilferty added, “I said this to the players the other day, we want to build a culture of sustainable excellence. Not just a shot next year, and it falls off after.”
..
“I’m a big believer in Sam Ersson. I think that Sam is in a position now, age-wise, and being pushed by the depth at that position that’s there now, is going to benefit him, as well. I think that Sam is going to stand up to the test here this year,” Jones said.
..
“We’re not going to be giving away players to gain future assets, unless something crazy (takes place). But that’s the plan, as we sit here today,” Jones said.Nobody will ever convince me this is a rebuild because the facts don’t support it but yea, selling was never an option this year. They said all along they were done.
They told us months ago that they are all in.
they will 100% use injuries to say why they faltered. many will buy that and nothing to see here.
just a poorly run shit organization
assuming Zegras wants a long-term deal. Left a bad ducks team for an even worse flyers team.
Though his BFF are here so he will sign and get complacent just like the others.
GH with more ice time than MM and ND only less than a minute in ice time compared to MM. Great coaching.
Neither rain, nor snow, nor becoming an extremely embarrassing to the franchise internet meme will keep Flyers coaches from rewarding their big 4th line grinders over skilled players.
It’s so freaking stupid. I know i talk to much about the Eagles but Tocchet is the Flyers Kevin Patullo. It doesn’t matter how much anyone on the outside can see the trainwreck happening in real time, the powers that be will stay the course.
I miss flyer frank telling everyone the flyers winning % on a daily basis.
Tocchet was a terrible hire that 95% knew it was terrible. Did the flyers even interview anyone else?
Don’t look now but the feel good story of Oct-Nov, Zegras, is in a major slump. He’s been Anaheim Zegras since the new year.
I still expect DB to give him a 5 year 8mill/yr contract with full NMC.

Flyers are actively getting worse as the season goes on.
The Flyers start the season in playoff mode while other teams ramp up. Other teams have another gear, the Flyers don’t. They have been redlining since Oct.
Zegras has 2 goals in his last 10 and 5 in his last 20 which is more in line with what he was doing in Anh versus the first month of the season. His shooting precentage was 50% above his career early on and has been falling back to the mean ever since.
The way the Flyers were winning was unsustainable and everyone knew it except for the true believers.
nothing will change until the people in charge wake up and realize the flyers way of running a franchise is the wrong way.
still laughing at the dvorak ext. there was zero need to do it at that time if at all.
cant wait to hear the spin from the wonder twins after the season.
It looks like the fans aren’t buying the fake “rebuild” anymore.
Attendance at Flyers games have taken a nose dive to be their lowest in 3 years.
The front office needs to show something to the fans and are failing.
It’s a good thing for the players that half of them are on NMC contracts for the next 5 years.
they will acquire a 4th line center to show they mean business.
Can’t wait to see what scared danny boy does from now to the deadline.
look at the bright side, they will be able to get him signed to a cheap ext
Well he does play the right way and just oozes culture. That’s going to cost them.
Another 35% on the Faceoffs for the team, they did that just last week as well. It’s to bad Zegras, who is listed as a center everywhere, can’t help them in the faceoff circle. Oh well, faceoffs are overrated, who needs to win them. Same with centers, just convert them all to wingers, who needs them.
Zegras has cooled off significantly in his last 10 games after the hot start. Not that Zegras isn’t a good winger but he probably isn’t as great as they thought a month ago and definitely not the center they really need. It will be interesting to see the $$$ Danny gives him on top of the standard 5 year NMC he gives everyone.
will zegras want a long term or bridge deal? guess will depend somewhat on how the rest of the season goes.
Risto, who has already missed more games than he’s played the last 3 years, only lasted 1 game and 2 shifts after returning from his latest injury. Not counting his 2 shifts tonight he’s on pace for a little over 20 games played this year. Hopefully McDonald didn’t make the trip to the AHL yet.
Already on one of the worst contracts in the league and a player who seemingly gets injured every time he laces up the skates, he is considered a core player for the Flyers.
Once the bodies of aging players who take a lot of physical punishment start breaking down, it’s time to move on but the Flyers keep doubling down on him.
look at the bright side, they will be able to get him signed to a cheap ext
they both will at some point as all coaches and GM’s do
the flyers do not have mike tomlin type history to keep someone around that long. Shit Clarke was canned
Dan Snider never fired Clarke, that was his son Jay. Dan then fired Jay and rehired Clarke who served 19 total years as GM, not including Senior VP, etc. He retired on his own terms citing burnout and fatigue.
Tocchet wasn’t fired from his last job, he went to the team that threw the most money at him, on his own terms.
Hell, even Torts probably would’ve finished his current contract if DB had a choice in the matter. Results on the ice be damned.Short of an extremely public meltdown like Torts or DB being fired first, my guess is Toc finishes out the contract at which point he will be 66 years old.
Unless fans stop coming to games en masse DB’s job is safe for the next few years.Go team culture!
dont see tocchet lasting the whole 5 years at all. Danny will be fired by the end of the 2028 season, unless a miraculous turnaround.
Bill when it eventually happens, who gets fired first Tocchet or Briere?
Not Bill but i can’t imagine either getting fired.
Torts. As horrible as he was in pretty much every possible way a coach can be except in dealing with the press was in no danger of losing his job. The press loved him and we got puff pieces from the 4 nations tournament about how people didn’t know “the real tortorella” who was kind to puppies and helped little old ladies across the street. Plus he wanted to bring back the “Flyers culture”. Even after it became publicly known he abused York and told the world he didn’t want to coach this team DB still lamented he wasn’t able to bring Torts back for another year.
Fletcher. He didn’t get fired for being bad at his job either. He got fired for promising results and not being media friendly. You can’t be “all in” and “bias for action” and still end up out of the playoffs.
Jones and DB are much more media friendly than Fletcher. Who can forget Jones and DB at the airport carrying Michkov’s sticks and looking like the 3 amigos. So relatable and much more available than Fletcher ever was. They also haven’t promised anything so their is really no moment to hold them accountable. By labelling everything as a “rebuild” it doesn’t really matter what they do. Half the fanbase will give them unlimited rope while calling the other half negadelphians for pointing out the inconstancies. It’s only when the entire fanbase unites against them that it’s a problem.
Tocchet. See Torts. Short of dousing himself in gasoline and lighting the match like Torts, it is unlikely that he will be fired as long as he keeps talking about culture and accountability. Even though Tocch left behind a FEMA level disaster in Vancouver he came out smelling like a rose.
The goal here is to be like Mike (Tomlin). Just good enough not get the elite talent you need and just bad enough to never be expected to win a playoff game. As the steelers have shown. Fan bases will wait nearly forever as long as you play enough meaningful regular season games and don’t have the expectations that elite talent brings.
they both will at some point as all coaches and GM’s do
