During the current loosing streak CC 3 total hits. Morgan Frost in a few more games but way less TOI 13 hits. How about CC do something different to get the team inspired. Definition of insanity doing same thing over & over expecting different results but when you’re CC I guess why do anything different when you have so many people fooled. If they still loose who cares. Looking for “answers” all players “embarrassed” well as the leader try something different you clown

Five years after his draft, Rubtsov still can’t earn a call up. Lol.

Bill, what is the state of the team press conference going to be? Will he be saying they will be sellers? I really don’t want to hear about injuries and Covid. I hope the media comes with some serious criticism because this is a joke and this franchise is a laughing stock.

Keith Yandle is barely an AHL player at this point, let alone an NHL one. (frank) him and his bs record.

Scratch him, and if his teammates don’t like it, they can (frank) off too. The entire organization deserves nothing but scorn!

I hope they bench Yandle after he gets the record. Then Kessel can pass Yandle in about another 20 games. So Yandle can hold his bogus “Ironman” record for about 6 weeks. Whooppee

Keep losing have to get into top 3 in draft. Big dropoff after the main 3

Bill, loved the conversation today between you and Jason! I know its tough given the situation but its nice to hear two people having a rational and realistic conversation about the state of the team, what is wrong, and what could come next. Thanks again Bill for all you do!

I don't think that is happening, I see Yandle playing out the season as long as he can play. Do you really want to expose another young player like Zamula to this dumpster fire right now? I think its better for Zamula to continue to develop this year on the Phantoms and start fresh next season.

Colorado picked 4th and got Cale Makar! There are no guarantees in the draft that the first pick will be the best player, so as long as the Flyers pick in the top 5, they will pick a good player. Say what you want about Fletcher, but he and Flahr know how to draft and I have high confidence if they draft a player that high they will pick a good one.

How many empty seats tonight? How much less profit from concessions? Parking? When does the hierarchy begin to feel the pain of an apathetic fan base? Ed Snider built an organization predicated on pride and blue collar effort.

Not sure Comcast is ultimately going to care about this. Unfortunately, Ed Snider and his passion for this team is no longer around. More and more I've noticed at games how many "suits" are in attendance, not even paying attention to what is transpiring on the ice, but are there to conduct business of some sort. If club boxes and suites stop being leased/tickets sold, then the powers that be might actually show some concern.

Can someone explain how on this dumpster fire disgrace of a team with a goal differential of -39 Atkinson is a plus 7. Almost impossible to do. The Answer is easy tho he plays the right way. No secret he came from outside the organization. Just about everyone else is a product of CC & his country club.

- hello it's me 2050

I posted my 10-point plan the other day, basically my plan is to (and you probably will not like this) keep Fletcher has President of Hockey Ops, hire a new GM (I suggested Stacey Roest from Tampa), keep Flahr as director of Scouting, have new GM hire head coach (I suggested Lane Lambert from the Islanders staff), Trade G, Risto, JVR, Braun and Jones at the deadline, pick top 5 this draft (I suggest the center Brad Lambert from Finland), stay away from any big FA signings (just sign some vets for depth), play all the kids next year including O'Brien and see what you got in them, pick top 5 next year again to get another young highly skilled player, be ready to contend in 2024.

1. no way keep him

2. no opinion on roest- not opposed to it

3. no way keep him

4. 50/50 on flahr

5. need a new coach 100%

6. yes to trade them all

7. to early to have a though on the draft for me

8. yes stay awy from long term deals unless in low 20 age.

9.no you do not play all kids if said kids are not good enough. See bunnyman and others.

10. all for another top pick. 2024 may be pushing it to contend though all depends what the roster looks like.

Good, bad, or indifferent, it’s more of a plan than the likes of Comcast, Scott & Co. seem to have.

No guarantees on anything. This draft is not very strong so the closer to the top the better your odds. Heck there are HOF players who were never drafted

Chuckles must go. New blood at the top from a winning organization (Tampa, Pens, Blues, or Canes, or someone from Zito's new team in Fla). Flair has to decide between pro-wrestling and Flyers. Let new management figure out which talent to keep/drop/draft.

But the reality will be: CF = pres. hockey ops; a former Flyer as GM (Briere a likely candidate); and a new, double-secret bias for action that Clarke, Barber and other other dinosaurs approve.
