Can’t fall in love with players, but I can’t remember the last time a coach has loved a player more than Jorts loves Poehling.
- StepfordSam

I like Poehling, I believe he's a decent bottom 6 player, but (frank) I don't like him that much.

Flyers have trouble scoring, so they play more Hathaway, Cates and Poehling.

Flyers can't score on the PP, so let's pull the goalie for advantage.

I know they can't let the game go to OT, but they have a better shot tying it up 5-5 then pulling goalie...unless they get a PP and pull. Just stupid and more stupid.
- Glak18

Was about to say the same thing. I have no problem with those 3, but it seemed like they were out there the whole game. Can't score with muckers and grinders out there the whole game. Unreal.

In Farabee’s case I’ll call his agent for him. The Flyers need to upgrade from marginal players like these
- jd250

Top line winger …there will lots of interest.

Ya really….season on the line and he doesn’t see the ice in the 3rd period…

It’s never a bad time to bench Frost apparently

JJ has his company lines ready. What a pro.

Haha if only!

No I just think they’ll convey their first rounder to SJ. They still owe from the Karlsson trade.

May as well get it out of the way now. Next year it’s only another year older etc
- stayinthefnnet

okay, that makes sense. Give Sid credit for wanting to extend. I do think he should chase ring 4 somewhere else, personally.

If I'm Frost or Farabee I'm dialing my agent ASAP. Both of those kids have actual NHL futures that are basically wasted in Philadelphia with Torts at the helm.
- Pixote Andolini

I’d make sure I ask the GM why two of the better offensive players on the team are sitting on the bench for almost two periods.
If he starts with platitudes press him hard on why some players get a pass and others have to ride the line.

Torts finishes the year the way he essentially started it, with Frost on the bench
- jd250

I have Sinatra singing "I did it myyyy waaaaay" after Torts had to go down swinging like this.

Past couple minutes is why hockey is my favorite sport. Didn't work out for the Flyers but it was ride.
- Pelle31Forever

Maybe this stupid league could’ve moved the philly game to 7:30 or 8 pm start

Playing with an empty net now is just stupid.

Had no choice. It's do or die

- StepfordSam

Yea, I'm not a hater but the announcers trying to put a positive spin on how they should be proud, etc, pisses me off. Yes, they overachieved, but they crapped the bed against crap teams down the stretch. Good teams persevere. We just aren't that good.

- Trox88

If he wants to, can’t begrudge him for it. He doesn’t owe them anything.

Hope he stays though. He’s still reason enough to tune in on any given night and showed there’s still plenty of tread left on the tire.

Actual cup runs are done there though.

sure, maybe our 40 goal scorer that has never scored 30 goals will hit the net and youll get youre red rocket out
- THE BLACK HAND

Sounds like you're obsessed with red rockets, but why doesn't that surprise me? Eh what!! Now I know why you like hangin out at gyms.

- Don Nachbaur

Solid bottom six line…but they can’t be your most effective line. You have to get your skilled guys more involved. Agreed.

Not even in the top 3 stupid things Torts has done tonight.
- Tomahawk

Small satisfaction, helped eliminate Pens

I'm glad Ersson had a good final 3 games. Ride Ersson and Fedotov/Kolosov tri-tandem and see if the crease can get solidified internally.

- bird_dog_pa

Yeah that was awful. Hoping for a goal in a clutch moment and it’s time to grind out the right way. Must have summed up your whole viewing perspective all year in one period haha

After 2-1 it was pointless. The flyers weren’t that close to tying the game.

So we pull the goalie in a tied game AFTER Wings tie game? Didn't anyone tell Torts?

Can’t fall in love with players, but I can’t remember the last time a coach has loved a player more than Jorts loves Poehling.
- StepfordSam

This is not a knock against Poehling but you aren't going to win much with Poehling playing 19 minutes and the most minutes of any center on the team. Frost didn't deserve it and he didn't show up in this game but he still should've been playing in the 3rd period. Same with Brink.

JJ has his company lines ready. What a pro.
- StepfordSam

Talking points. Just like CNN, Fox, and NBC. They're all cults. Just like the Philadelphia Flyers FO / circle of owners/advisors.

Haters rejoice! This board will light up like a Christmas tree the next 24 hours. Enjoy!
- Don Nachbaur

I swear most of these turds are like those ladies on The View. A bunch of old ladies sitting around and whining all day. What a crew!

Mood?

Welp, Frost back on the trading block, no doubt.

Empty net goal game when wings already went to OT. If Torts wasn’t getting updates, well no surprise
