Not for nothing, but Skinner Sucks! Just stick your goal stick out and block that cross pass. Happy though to see Michkov putting up some points!

So the flyers get no credit for the win. They won because the goalie sucks.

Skinner has better numbers than errson does.

Haters gotta hate

Skinner Sucked today, anyone with eyeballs can see that. The Flyers took advantage, good for them. The Flyers played a good game and Edmonton was a bit out of sync and flat today.

Had company so missed the game, but Ek called it with the flyers breaking out the goals despite the bad line combos. I just hope we don't go on a win streak as some of our teams have done in the past before the trade deadline and we end up not making moves.

If we somehow go on a run (not likely) the next 2 weeks, I'm fearful that DB will pull out the old Homer "I like our team."

My conspiracy theory with Risto and Laughton on the PP, it is to showcase their versatility. The danger is waiting any longer, always the risk of injury. Flyers Carnival is on Sunday, hopefully there is movement before the PIT game on Tuesday.

Virtually impossible to make the playoffs. They played well yesterday but they’d have to win like 18 of their remaining games to have a chance. I’d be sitting risto and Laughton with the tdl coming up. Kuzmenko looked solid and I expect him to be moved as well.

I’m starting to get on board with the fact that some teams might see value in him. Not at full price but with some retained by us. Absolutely no idea what he’d fetch on the market though.

Wouldn’t be fair to the room to sit guys. They owe it to the team to keep The Room together for the sake of the room.

I’m of the mind that they should trade michkov at the tdl along with Luchanko tk and all the firsts we’ve compiled. We need to go all in on a proper 20 year rebuild. It’s the ONLY way to guarantee success and none of those assets fit the timeline for this rebuild. If they don’t do exactly as I prescribe then I will begin calling for the team to be sold and moved.

Instead of blowing up the team how about happy Hilf stops glad handing and finds some smart innovative people to coach and run this team?

you know that is there thinking.

Here is my take. If any legit cup contending team thinks Risto can fit into their top 4 and be a diff maker then there will be legit interest. Then he will have good value.

If not, I can't see a team trading for him with that contract. If flyers eat 50% then there will also be interest to a lesser degree value wise.

The Flyers however value him way more than any other teams. Their ask is probably out of touch with reality. They have no other replacements, which is very sad and embarrassing, so they have zero pressure to move him.

Torts has been messing with him for two years now. All the lines in a constant blender and normally saddles him with horrible wingers. Tbh I rarely understand torts like combos. There is something to be said with giving guys a stretch of games to find chemistry, rather than changing up mid game when things don’t instantly gel. It’s over coaching and what do we really have to lose? Give the young players some leash and let them fail rather than have them constantly on egg shells about being demoted, benched or scratched.

There is no real plan and he is trying to get into the playoffs. He doesn't have time to see if a certain combo will over x amount of games. it all about the here and now.

Exactly, Torts is Don Quixote jousting at windmills with this team. He coaches to win, not to develop.

Frost and Farabee said something that stuck with me about how they accentuate the positive and work on the negative in Calgary. Whereas everything is always negative accentuating every mistake in Philly. (paraphrasing). I read between the lines in Michkov's comments about how he needed a break.

Torts is like an abusive parent who uses mind games and negative reinforcement to discipline his children.

There was ST townhall on Friday. Anyone go? Read some comments elsewhere.

Looking to bring Kate Smith back.

Briere understands there players who do not want to play for Torts. Says Torts was the right coach at this time.

“Cam York isn’t a small defenseman like Drysdale or Andrae” - Briere

“Kuzmenko was a cap dump.”

Jones - Make this a place players want to come.

Briere says team too small. They are aware size is an area of concern.

Jones says you want a coach that’s going to be here for a long time. “Like twelve years like a John Cooper.” That is laughable.
