  1. Very much not a doomer, or even a chronically online fan. 

    But, Tocchet is not the right guy for this team. Leadership (Briere) is knowing your mistake, owning it and then pushing forward with lessons learned. Michkov needs to be held accountable for not showing up to camp in shape, and if he was the one who was late to treatment, hold him to task. Do it in private. Nothing is gained from passive remarks, putting him on blast in public, talking to the Chiclets guys and causing a divide. He is 21 years old. He needs to be held accountable, but also brought along to learn what it takes to be a professional. Tocchet is not equipped to do this. Vancouver is playing out again in Philadelphia. The point in the rebuild the Flyers are, they cannot afford to be set back 5 extra years.

    Be a leader, admit the mistake in hiring him. Own it. Bring in the right leader, and build the team the right way.

  2. Tocc seems like such a good dude. But I stopped watching because it genuinely feels like they stepped back. Last year I watched excited to see what would happen, this year when I watch, I expect them to lose… that can’t be what Briere had in mind.

  3. How does the absence of Tyson Foerster become a central issue for these reporters? Just worried about asking tougher questions?

  4. They need to hire someone outside the organization and someone good at teaching and developing young guys. Yhe same problem in Vancouver is here in Philadelphia. Didnt want Tocchet from the start but here we are.

  5. It’s pretty telling when you have guys that have been in the organization for years and you’re still having to teach them the basics.

    Coots doesn’t know he needs to move his feet more? Jesus

  6. Why is Brett Flahr never talked about? Why are idiots only out for blood with Danny and Tocc? Danny inherited a MESS.

  7. MM39 needs more mins on the ice…. Hathaway and DLO need to be gone… Andrae needs to get back in and Juulsen needs to sit. Tocc needs to forget about playoffs and develop the young players…

  8. Tocchet needs to go. Not good for the Flyers. Their rebuild is going backwards. Danny and Jones also need to go, both terrible. Why has neither one of them addressed the media in months? Cause they don't have answers.

  9. Should jump on acquiring Calvin Pickard off waivers – should just give him another chance and see what he’s got. It’s inevitable either Vladar / Errson gets hurt. Wouldn’t be the worst idea at 1M

    Worst case put him in LHV and recall Bjarnasson or Kolosov.

  10. For anyone going to the game tomorrow vs Caps. Fire Tocchet chants will start at the 19:00 mark of first period. One minute after puck drop.
