I love how they make it seem like the flyers are incredibly unlucky with all the high danger scoring chances. Ok the nhl may count them as that, but I can promise you maybe 20% of those are actual high danger
- Just5


You'd be wrong. A high danger scoring chances is a scoring chances that meets a statistical criteria. There isn't much ambiguity in that. However, not all high danger chances are equal.

I hadn’t seen them quit until tonight. This is an embarrassing effort.

I’m kind of hoping for a double digit loss. F them
- Dkos


Good lord! Decided to take a long walk on this beautiful night and resigned myself to not putting the game on. Just checked the box score. Ouch!

He won't show. His dog will have a splinter and he will need to be with family for the incident

Torts can't be fired fast enough.

The head games failed. He benched the captain. He overplayed RP and GH and kept putting stall and Johnson into the line up.

This dude has got to go

- Bob Habib



Oh please... Rather than take his benching like a man, he whined. You don't think that influenced the younger players. No telling what kind of badmouthing of Torts he did while hanging out..

On a bright side I get to cancel my ESPN+ subscription tomorrow and NEVER get it again.
- Glak18


Great move! There's always a bright side! I almost got it but decided not to as we have too many streaming services. Glad I didn't buck up for the freefall.

Drysdale has been bad defensively tonight, looks lost in his defensive zone assignments.

Amen

Yes. IMO scratching the captain was the last straw . They’ve seemed to quit since then. I can only pray that they fire him after this embarrassing and to the season.

I think BUF was the last gasp of effort. They are almost a certainty to get to at least 10 game winless streak.

Be glad you didn't watch.
This is embarrassing.
This reminds me of the feltcher days.

One thing is clear now.... Staal is definitely mentoring Drysdale after seeing him play this game.... he's as bad as Staal tonight

Did you watch the Flyers against Columbus? It was pretty close.

Poor fedotov....

This guy is going to run away from this franchise after these few games and how he's been thrown into this caca

- Bob Habib


Thank god the Flyers burned the last year of his entry level contract to play 3-4 games for the team? He's a UFA that can get a backup job somewhere else this summer.

Fedotov hit the jackpot in that he doesn't have to play for a Torts led team an entire year. 2 weeks on this team and he is gone with no compensation.

What coach benches his captain within about a month after a franchise names him captain?

Lol. Ite cute that you're still on the torts train.

Choo Choo for you!

Even if they were winning I would not recommend ESPN at all. No question the worst NHL coverage ever in my life time, but Bettman wanted that contract money.

It makes me miss the good old days on Prism.

During this losing streak, 85 High Danger chances and only 3 goals for. Add Ersson flying the coop and you have a perfect storm. The players have just quit tonight.

Apparently some jorts crotch sniffers think coots whined about it though... 🤷

I don't comment here much anymore (tired of the constant bickering, lol) but what a sickening end to this season.

I was kind of for Torts over the past year, but honestly ... how can they keep him on after the way this season is ending.

This sucks.

At least there they showed a pulse. Although it’s looking like other than Seeler, no one is interested in blocking shots anymore. They have no desire to engage at all tonight.

The most frustrating thing for me is the fact my wife keeps asking me why I watch that loser team...and she's not asking in a "hehehe your team stinks" kind of way, she really doesn't understand why anyone would watch that loser team.

He's gotta be hesitant to sign an extension, even after DB smuggled him out of mother Russia.
That says a lot

I got no patience for whining millionaires... Go back to hockysfuture and cry about Torts there.
