The only thing that is embarrassing here is people like you who come on here day after day and spew your hate for everything that is Flyers, from the owners, to the management, to the coaches to several of the players. You need to seriously consider what you truly care more about, the Flyers coming back to contention or Fletcher failing, because obviously one does not lead to the other.

I've been a poster on this website since 2007. Your characterization of my posting history is inaccurate. In a variety of manners. Especially insinuating that I want Fletcher to fail. It's a nice change of pace though. I used to be accused of wearing orange and black goggles.

I get using Yandle, he's PP specialist player, He's 2nd on the team with 9 PPPs. Only Giroux has more.

Provorov is another question. 4 PPP all season. 7th on the team. Take him off, it will reflect in his TOI and we might even see a jump in his play Knocking him down from 25 mins to 22 mins

We're all set for another classic Flyers 3rd period.
- dubc55
Classic? Historically we've been a weak 1st and 2nd periond team and strong 3rd period team. Only within the last month or so have we been a week 3rd period team

This is very disingenuous of you because clearly I have not been posting on this site since 2007 and thus was not referring to your posting history. I can only comment on what I see.

Flyers are one of the worst teams in the league in goals against in the 3rd period.

No I just want them to lose as many games as possible this season. Failing would be winning a bunch of games and picking 14th again.

I like the Flyers new zone breakout strategy ... ice the puck. Its simple enough for all the players to understand.

Can’t stand these guys like Wilson and Hathaway. They go to hit a guy and get put on their ass and cry about it

Yandle hits the pipe, that is the kind of luck the Flyers have had for quite a while now

That's good luck right? We want them to lose. I'm getting mixed messages from you. Again.

So in your opinion, if only Risto was truly a better player the Flyers would have been a much better team this year?? And the Sabres would have been a playoff team because they got rid of Risto?
- jd250


No I’m just saying his teams lose. It’s like adding grabner because team lacks speed ignoring fact that while he has great speed he doesn’t score much.

If a team is adding risto for bottom pair sheltered minutes to bring some physical play then yes he’d be part of solution. However has not been the case. Not in buffalo. Not in Philly.

Again hopefully they trade him to some team that thinks he’s more as return will be greater

I don't think Risto is a top pairing guy but I do believe is a solid top 4 defender. I think he has been fine, not perfect, with the Flyers this year, and I honestly think he could be used a lot more on offense than he is.

What Teams? Buffalo is still awful and we already knew this team was inconsistent as ever.

Rochester Americans finished 2nd in the division when he was on the team.
One player doesnt make or break a team. Thats why Luke Schenn has 2 Stanley Cups

Wow, the Flyers did everything they could to lose the lead down the stretch, but Hart and Brown must have not got the memo ...

And I have to give it to Sanheim, that was a hell of a defensive play down the stretch there.
