Brad Shaw's stock is dropping so fast, its already close to penny status. He's responsible for the PK and it has tanked so fast that its completely demoralizing the entire team. Then we have Travis Sanheim who has basically just imitated the worst d man in the East Coast Hockey League. This guy is so lost out there that its now out getting out of hand. Its really at the point of having to scratch him. I think this pairing of Sanheim-Drysdale is the worst d man combo in Flyer history.
The question is: how do you bring this head coach back for his final year when his assistants are the equivalent of a category 5 hurricane? He really can't fire them all and then return as head coach, can he? He would be discrediting himself in the last year of a contract and no player would bother taking him seriously. Next year would be a total writeoff. I don't see any solution here.
I think Tortorella has achieved immortality for the Flyers. They will immediately drop to Buffalo status and go a full decade of rebuilding the rebuild. May as well admit now that Michkov is gone after next year. Fruitcake.
This team is a mess, our coaching staff is the worst, you have to start the rebuild process from scratch but you have to do it now. If Briere keeps the status quo for next year then we will be in the same position this time next year. Sanhiem makes team Canada? What a joke, we have watched him here for years be at best an average defence man , he got lucky for the most part this year and looked above average (not a star) now he’s playing his normal self. Drysdale, they don’t want to admit they made a huge blunder in trading for this bum, so we have to continue to suffer because their egos outweigh their vision of the future. There are bums after bums on this team, many have been here for years, it’s easy to see who they are and yet Briere doesn’t seem to be ready to clean house. What a shame, the once mighty Flyers have turned into a laughing stock. At least we still have the EAGLES.
Lets be honest you can't beat NJD when they actually want to show up and play a full 60 min. Flyers should have never won the first two games in the series.
It all started with the lifeless power play…..it’s a momentum killer…..it gave the Devils life then they scored on their power play and we were toast….Id start by firing Rocky….remember when the Eagles totally collapsed last year….both coordinators were let go and heads rolled.
I will say it again. No team toughness. Figure skaters scared of their own shadows. Heartless and despicable show of hockey. You know the game was over when Tipp got clocked and no-one stepped in to try to send a message. They're falling like flies and management doesn't see this? Every team takes a run at them with no consequences. It's a f….. joke. I had indicated that they should have benched Tipp for a couple of games and let him see game from atop. Thx to Dillon he will now be watching from atop. Where's Deslauriers?
It's 1 out of every 5 games is a snooze fest with this club, pick a lane, either the bad or strive to take a step. Mediocrity ruined us for a decade +, love Torts but we lack players with substantial talent and game breaking ability.

You lost 5-0 and 2 goals we’re PP…what about the other 3?
Buckle up embrace the tank
I can’t wait til this clown is gone…this guys era and style of coaching is so outdated and irrelevant now
Don't worry, we ae in great position to draft another player that will be in Juniors for two years.
Yes, it's only one game so no need to freak out. However, the Flyers lack of size and skill were very evident in this game.

John got his guys ready but must have sung them sleepy music inbetween the 1st and 2nd. Spanked

Team wins : In Torts we trust. Team loses : team is a mess, he needs to be fired…

Tortellini no emotions. He's toast. Stick a fork in him- he's done and so are his assistants.
If there is a defeat tomorrow the season is over

Lets 4get we went 5 and1 just b4 going to new york.
Lets also 4get we have bin 1 and 3 in lasr 4.
The question is this the right group to move forward with? Is it the proper foundation to head in the right direction?
Everything at this point and time circles back around to Danny regardless of what opinions we all have .
That's whos under microscope and should be 2 as far as Im concerned roster coaching staff free agency and draft.
