Give it two years and it will be just like Van and Columbus with top players leaving or wanting out. Torts time has come/gone folks.

But hey...fill your boots.

The team is being run...into the ground... by Flyer alumni. Maybe that should change, too, eh?

No poop. Competent ownership is not going to listen to Clarke/Holmgren.

What can we gather from those who have played for him?
60% "I wanted traded"
20% "I love him"
20% "no comment"

What's the deal with the lack of Colorado and Tampa coverage on this site? I'd rather be ribbing fans of those teams. Instead we're forced to slosh around in knee deep Flyers coach BS and Toronto goalie soup.

When will you and others let this nonsense “Broad street bullies” go?

The flyers are an archaic simply fading fast ( being kind) organization that has zero clue how to operate an NHL team on 2022.

Born to coach the Flyers. What a typical no effort article.

The team let it go years ago. It’s folks like you that bring it up for no apparent reason. It’s like a nervous tick.

Let’s start w you letting it go and we will go from there shall we…

Last time I checked Briere, Flehr, Fletcher and Lombardi have nothing to do w the Bullies.

Times yours

Um you really think it was torts that prevented players from signing in “Columbus” long term?

You really believe that?

I can't wait for Torts to call out Hart to the Philly sports media with something like "I am a little tired of the 25% rule" . Great way to boost his confidence.

Grahame gave up five goals on 20 shots in the third game and four on 16 last night.
"We're tired of the 25-per-cent rule," Tortorella said. "We need an occasional goddamn save."


There are old videos of it around but I don't feel like looking for them. He said that to the Tampa media.

It’s 2022. “Flyer hockey” may satiate local Neanderthal fans, but it is not a winning formula.
The Flyers problem is they have drafted and developed poorly in the last decade. Their pro scouting has been poor as well. But hey, bring in some goons and a few Matt Cooke types and the locals will be happy 😃

This is the dumbest comment that I've seen on a social media platform in a long freakin time and that's saying something! If anything the Flyers been the softest team in the league the last few years! Why can't people forget about the 1970's here in 2022? Simpletons!!!
