Nice to see the wheels are finally starting to come off, and after Vancouver the schedule gets pretty tough all through March. Whether they like it or not, this team needs to lose as much as possible from here on out, for the good of the franchise. They desperately need to get top-end talent on this roster, plus losing will force Fletcher's hand to sell at the deadline (which I still don't believe he wants to do) and most importantly, spell the end of Fletcher in Philly!

Need to bring in the next guy to put us on the path to the cup. The very definition of the path to the cup.

No source. I just thought it was funny the last article that mentioned Fletcher was on the hot seat mentioned that minds were changed when the Flyers went on this "run".

Speaks to the incompetence throughout the org.

Now that their sliding again, will Dave Scott bring in his hockey consultants to make a change? Maybe he can call up Bill Barber to translate what it all means.

Say what you want about Deslauriers and Cates, but all I know is TK hadn't scored in 13 games, started this game with Frost and Farabee and was a non-factor. Then changed to play with Cates and Deslauriers and that line scores 2 goals. Granted the game was pretty much in the bag but still, that line busted their ass all the way to the end.

I hope they gave them a participation trophy after the game.

Bobby Clarke and he will never hold the son of his idol accountable. If it wasn't for Clarke Fletcher never would've had a career.

It will be Torts and Briere, I think its a fait accompli at this point. You know my opinion, I would love at guy like https://www.nhl.com/light.../hockey-staff/stacy-roest.

Did Tortorella skip the postgame interview??? I guess he can afford the fine.

Well, after last night’s fiasco, we can hope that Cuckles and the Cronies have given up their delusions of this team having a shot at the playoffs.

Get the for sale signs out, everything must go!

8 pts behind in the wildcard, can't wait for Fletcher to call STL about O'Reilly. The irony is the Blues just passed the Flyers in the standings upward. Flyers are sitting at 8th.

This is what happens to talentless teams as the seasons goes on.

Nothing positive to comment on from this game.

Seriously. Who cares who was on the ice for two meaningless goals? Two shots on goal when the game was still up for grabs.

Actually had it been Frost, the Frost detractors would be saying he scored another meaningless goal.

Playing a new position, and taking on heavy defensive roles. is a plus player with what, two penalties all year. is ridiculous.

Not only sad, it’s embarrassing. I was 15 when we last won the cup. Wondering if I’ll ever see another one. Thinking I’d better stay real healthy. Would be nice someone starting doing things right down there, with a plan and some direction.

I was 24 and I'm in pretty good shape for the shape I'm in.
Hoping to see another Cup and another Superbowl in my lifetime.
Not putting money on either.

Yeah, he got back into the rotation in the 3rd.

Torts pushing those meaningless buttons.

I wish they would ask him about his pathetic, passive archaic defensive zone coverage system.

When they finally did get the puck, the Kraken knew exactly where the Flyers were gonna go with the puck at every turn. It was pretty comical to watch.
