Hard disagree there. 3v3 is awesome, the Flyers just suck at it.

Yea, watching a team regroup 10 times in two minutes is always so entertaining

Great to see them pay "competitive" hockey. Keep accumulating those points. Put Chuck on the spot and make him earn his money. Chuck wants to be a buyer so bad.

I no longer want them to lose. Want wins. Just to watch the the pure entertainment of what they will do.

When turnovers in the D zone happen, other players try to make up for the mistake. It tends to mess up coverages. Frost busted his ass to try and cover for it. Tortorella knows all this but he calls out Frost anyway. That's because he's a jackass

I do not think he called him out in a negative way at all. Pointed out in his opinion what went down. Missed his assignment. Guess constructive criticism isn’t allowed in 2023. He needed to be the save the day guy in that instance!!!!

I pay $160.00 a month to Comcast, but they still won't put on the game even though they own the team. ESPN sucks!!
- Phillywhiteout


I pay $80 a month, I get Hulu, ESPN and Disney plus. I can watch every game.

Vs watching a team go 1-2-2, freeze the puck on the boards and ice the puck repeatedly for 5mins?

There's a reason why they got rid of ties and introduced the loser point. Coaches like Torts were playing for ties.

Unfortunately, instead of wide open back and forth entertaining hockey trading chances, the coaches got a hold of it.

Everybody except Bettman knew it would eventually backfire. Coaches and teams are not just going to lay down and take it. They will all develop strategies to counter what was trying to be implemented.

It was something that never needed to be done. I don't know one true hockey fan who cared about games ending in a tie after an overtime period.

And to make matters worse, it tells you a lot when you hear on occasion they are talking about changing playoff OT rules. Thankfully cooler heads always prevail.

Tortorella's press conferences are a waste of time.

He should also go back and look at the tape of that goal. Angelo, after he turns the puck over, stands like a dunce and watches while Frost busts his ass to try and cover not only his man, but also Angelo's man. One player made an effort, and another didn't. Yet Tortorella calls out Frost. That's what makes Tortorella an bumhole.

I love it!

Yeah I am with you. I'm notbsure how he calls out frosty for that play.. torts doesn't seem to like frosty very much, which is disappointing because I see a huge improvement 8n his overall game.
Frost may want out of here after this season

- Bob Habib

Frost will not have a choice, I just don't think he is a Torts type of player and thus will be traded maybe even at the deadline.

BTW, did anyone notice Fletcher up in the press box, looking all dapper? He looked like he was working on a crossword puzzle.

These refs can f@ck off
- Pelle31Forever

The refs were brutal tonight, actually just one ref couldn't stop getting in front of the camera it seemed with his ticky-tac calls.

He will not be moved at the deadline. He has very little value imo. At this point you hold onto him and see what shakes out. Regardless of the outcome.

Yes, well, no doubt Frost is playing better and trying out there. I thought last night he was a bit overmatched. I can see him being traded as part of a larger deal. The signals from Torts seem clear, Frost is just not his guy. Now Cates, Cates is his guy. My goodness, is that not a classic man crush at this point.

I get this package for free through Verizon. Well, its not really free, just included in the price, but a hell of a lot better than $80/month!

Just add one rule to OT, if the team possessing the puck crosses back over the red line into their half of the ice the play is blown dead and the other team gets the puck. Simple.

I agree. Would love to see Chuck maximize resources again this deadline. Would be hilarious.

Hopefully he was preparing his resignation.
