He was probably staring at Taryn.

Provorov had no chance on the play.

Maybe true but you don’t lean, take yourself out of the play and not even get to the puck. Again, primarily on Risto for a shxt pass

Tell me honestly, this isn't about any one player. They're just bad across the board. This is the same thing as last year when it was Voracek and Myers fault according to some. They apparently changed the culture. They're missing a couple of key players but this is more than that. The added new players, same result.

&&&&&@ the captain is the same. Incapable leader!!!

It's cute the flies don't allow the announcers to travel with the team to broadcast in person

You put Risto out there with a different partner in a 2-2 road game where your team has momentum, makes no sense to me!! There was no reason to change it up, just shorten the bench and play your best players the rest of the way. Coaching 101!

In my opinion he knows that he has to at least try and deflect it out to center. If it hits the boards there, he knows it's coming out into the zone.

Honestly this team does not deserve a coaching change! Another game of passing up open shots, not paying the price to get the puck into the danger areas, and a ton of defensive miscues. No coach tells his defenseman to both chase a player behind the net. No coach tells one of his best shooters to pass up an open one timer to make a nothing pass into a well defended slot area. No coach tells his forwards to not support their D and get cleaner zone clears. I'm sorry, these players, except the goalies and MacEwen, all suck right now.

Not about deserve, they need a shake up, it is the way ownership thinks, add in they have some extra practice time, it’s now or next season

I just rewatched it a few times. I think I’ve changed my mind. That was not a hard pass to handle and it really wasn’t that far ahead of him.

It wasn’t far ahead at all. It actually went under the heel of his blade provy overextended

Bro, things like this happen every single game. Sometimes due to an extended shift or a partner getting caught out on the ice, a defenseman has to play a shift or two with another partner. The pairings were not changed up. Provorov and Ristolainen played 1:10 of ice time with each other in the game.

Flyers don't play again until Wednesday. If they want to salvage whatever they think they can this season, make the change now and sack AV and Therrien.

He needs to make the extra effort and catch up to it there

Were your eyes open?


How do you explain that Provorov had to reach out with one hand just to deflect the puck? It was an awful pass on a routine play

I would have to see it again but I think Provy missed it, maybe couldn’t reach it but he needs to make a better play, Risto for sure made a shxt pass. Like most things with the Flyers it’s the 5 man unit shxtting the bed
- wcorvette


It hand cuffed him for sure…but I also think if you miss the pass you have to make a play off the boards. It wasn’t that egregious of a pass. I think both played like poop all night. I don’t think any of the d were good tonight.

Could be true but he still didn’t make the play, it’s a play your top D needs to make, he needs to cover for the mistake Risto made

Mood?
First time I didnt bother to even watch the game tonight and suffered less watching this 90 Day Fiancé thing with my girlfriend which seemed much more entertaining.
On a single positive note tonight, looks like My Blue Jays signed Kevin Gausman, but lost Semien.

It’s just an opinion. I’m not worried about anyone’s ‘credibility” here.

Captain Claude -4 1 shot 😂 😂 😂 😂
- Fopa21

He is a lock in flyers HOF. But flyers has no superstars anymore. Just mediocre serviceable thin soup of mismatchs and overrated draftpicks "Sanheim" "Turnover Provides Provorov"

Well, the GM was hired for his action bias so I wouldn’t be surprised at all to see the coach let go sooner rather than later.
- StepfordSam

Does Chuck get fired if they don't make the playoffs?
If you think the answer is yes, he should be firing the coach soon.

I'm guessing a lot here but I think there was a study done that like 98% of the playoff spots are determined by around Thanksgiving. Flyers have won 7 out of 20 games in regulation.

If the coaches are not fired in the morning, then sack Fletcher.
Time to make a trade…. Does Kevin Hayes have any more friends in the league?? The culture change is working out great. I hope their having fun in the locker room!
