You better watch what your saying, a certain hater will use their opinions as facts to point out that Torts is a dinosaur.

You're obsessed aren't you?

Freakin Foerster another in a long line of China dolls. And we seem to specialize in larger china dolls......

This doesn't make sense. He hit into the wall and got up and returned to play, did he not?

A DNA test will prove he isn't! 😁

Yea.

It will be a lot of pain. The issue is that the Flyers organization's gross mismanagement has put us through more pain than necessary. They've prolonged the pain.

Like to pick your brain a little. what are your expectations for the following players this upcoming season. Frost, Cates, Sanheim.

1. Points wise what would you consider a good season from Frost and Cates?
2. Excluding points, what areas do you want to see both improve on?
3. If they have a reduction of points do you think they could still have a successful season? If yes, how so?
4. Same questions for Sanheim.
5. One bonus question. How would you run the PP seeing what the flyers have at forward and D? Who would be your 1st and 2nd unit. Any potential scheme you would run?

97.5?

Ooops...fixed.

- hello it's me 2050

I'll take a shot at this,

1. 50-60pts
2. Frost-finishing plays with goals. Cates- Overall offensive game to improve thru playing with more offensive minded players(tippett,foerster,farabee).
3. Both have areas to improve, and if they regress then the cause would have to be determined to answer that one better.
4.40-50 pts
5. 1st pp unit
Tippett/Coots/TK/Farabee/Risto
I play the umbrella scheme with the 1st pp, 1 high 4 down low.

2nd pp unit
Foerster/Frost/Atkinson/laughton/Sanheim/
I play the umbrella scheme with the 2nd pp again.

I went with the umbrella scheme because our team make up.

Will Coots and Atkinson make it through the weekend? (97.5 is still a station. how much longer until they revert back to playing music. Of course that joke of a station prioritizes the Sixers over the Flyers. What a joke that station is! Thanks!
- Phillywhiteout

you mean they prioritize a team that is in contention, regardless of the choking every year, has the reigning MVP and on of the most dominate forces in the game, winning over 50 games for the last 4-5 years over the flyers? Or a contending NBA team over an also ran NHL team, who saw that coming? SHOCKING I say, SHOCKING....(frank)ing idiot

I understand the reaction. Every year it seems the top rookie who seems to have a shot at making the flyers seems to get hurt at training camp

You understand calling Foerster a china doll because he got a little shaken up crashing into the wall?

You're obsessed aren't you?
- MJL

I don't think he is obsessed, as he left out archaic, manipulative, and neanderthal. It's ok....Torts won't be here forever and hopefully he won't ruin Frosty's progression this upcoming season.

You forgot obsolete. Need to up your game.

I just don't want him anywhere near Cutter or MM. Best case scenario is Torts is let go after this year, and we hire a younger coach. Just don't give the job to Lappy and I will be happy.

Love it! My bad! Yes, I did forget obsolete and I apologize for not upholding to your all-knowing standards. Luckily you are on here 24/7 to put idiots/uninformed people like me in my place. Thanks for the insult and have a great night!

Yes, I'm not a Torts hater but I do figure he is gone by the time MM and Cutter are here. I loved Lappy as a player but agree that I don't want him as head coach. Hopefully we find someone who can help develop the new kids and help us advance over the next few years.

I agree with you. I'd like to see the Flyers organization not only get better at developing players but also developing coaches. I don't see Lappy as future NHL coach material. They need to upgrade there.

I don't see what in my post was an insult. I also think maybe you should work on that self esteem a little bit and not have such a low opinion of yourself. Don't you legitimately want to talk hockey? Like clock work you come on late in the day with your passive-aggressiveness and then complain when countered. Your the kind of guy who pokes at a sleeping dog and then cries when bitten. You start something and then play the victim.

There is a good chance Gauthier suits up for the Flyers this season.

You are spot on as always! Yes I do come on late at night as I work 2-3 jobs a day and can't always be online like you are all day/every day. Must be nice to have nothing to do but be online all day. Self esteem - you are a riot! I've even agreed with you on occasion and you still find a way to make an argument. Give me an example when I cry when bitten or when play the victim? You think you are the boss on here and are getting so mixed up that you can't keep track of the people you want to go after. I'm only a part timer. Keep up the good work! I can't wait till you criticize the first time Risto makes a bad play. I'll save you the trouble: he is a mediocre, 3rd pair, dman at best.

You claim to work 2/3 jobs a day and can't always be online but somehow know that I am all day/every day. The self esteem comment was obviously sarcasm. Guess it went over your head. Are you seriously going to say that your comments directed at me are a legitimate and genuine attempt to have a conversation on hockey? You play the victim when you do what you did here. Whine and complain when I come back at you after one of your passive-aggressive late day drive bys.

It's very simple. Like everyone else, my opinions are fair game. If you disagree, say so. Tell me why you think I'm wrong and we can have a conversation. Or you can just continue doing what you're doing.

There is this thing called back-reading. I hop on at night (and occasionally during lunch break) and get to see your many words of wisdom sprinkled throughout the comment section. I actually agree with a lot of things that you post and value your input regarding things like the cap, which admittedly, I know nothing about. Just don't think it's necessary for you to continually harp on people who have a different opinion other than yours. In addition, how many times are you going to call Torts an archaic, obsolete, neanderthal, dinosaur? I think you've made your point. Have a great day!

Nah, you're not backreading. You don't comment enough. First you have 2/3 jobs and don't have time to be online. Now you claim you're backreading enough to know how often I'm on here. Doesn't hold water.
Secondly, disagreeing with someone is not against the code of conduct. Debate and differing opinions are healthy.
Thirdly, if repeated opinions are not allowed, then 75% of the posting here would disappear. If you're going to call out me for that, why aren't you calling out everyone? I'll tell you why because you're full of poop!

Now here is the most important point. Talk hockey and I'll be glad to talk hockey with you. You have to gall to complain about posts that you don't like while posting the childish nonsense that you do. Taking subtle, veiled shots at people. I confront others directly and without hiding.

You have a nice day also
