got it! Thanks!

Not the point of my post, Einstein. The league ain't gonna give Philly the same treatment the Rangers got. That rebuild is not a reasonable expectation for anyone to have.
- iamscore2day

The only things the league gave to any team was the Penguins. The rest is nonsense.

Flyers have turned themselves into the Washington Football Team, New York Knicks, Chicago White Sox of hockey.

Was it announced who the assistant coaches will be tonight?
- PLindbergh31

Taryn and Andrea.

Careful: reality like this will elicit negative feedback from some on this board.
- iamscore2day

too many people on this board expect everyone's posts to create some sort of safe space for them

Taryn and Andrea.

watching taryn between periods last night she wasn't sure was the PC thing to say about the team was and looked at morganti for answers

White Sox and Redskins have won Championships more recently.

Honestly those three are all well above the Flyers right now.

Well maybe not the Phillies. But at least they have 2008

If he keep’s Yeo in as coach and they show no improvement then you’ll get your wish…Fletch had better help find some answers or he won’t be around long….just promoting a guy that was in charge of the D (which Fletcher even just said needed to have better structure) doesn’t scream….”I have an answer”
- landros 2

Yeo is not the long term solution here, he is just here now because you can't fire the entire coaching staff when you have no one to replace them. That said I really want Fletcher to take his time here and would prefer he look at some up in coming assistants versus hiring another rethread.

Which is an embarrassment honestly lol

I noticed the exact same thing. Tonight's interaction should be interesting. Would like to get Joney's take on the days events.

Two Fletchy pressers in a week. He's got things running like a finely tuned Swiss watch.

More like a Swatch.

Go talk to Sabres and Sens fans about it. The Rangers drafted in the top 10 3 years in a row. In 2020, they were the #1 picking team even though they finished above .500. In 2019, they picked #2 even though they were #6. They picked in the top 10 in 2018 too. Pretty fortuitous, wouldn't you say?

- hereticpride

at least the flyers have 74-75
sixers are barely .500 and still have simmons

I think it will be the Kate Smith hologram.
- iamscore2day

That's not in the budget. But I heard it was one of those fancy cardboard cutouts with the motion sensor built in, and it will sing God Bless America every time there's a line change to motivate the players.

Won’t be anything he hasn’t said in the past. He’s too close to Comcast and the franchise to lay into the team how I’m sure he’d love to.

The Redskins under Joe Gibbs were very good.

Not as much that specific comment. But I have seen last nights press conference about 30 times through the last 10 years. The same cliche sayings over and over again.
- Peter Richards

Same in every sport, every night. Post game press conferences are worthless.

NHL radio-

"This Flyers team is the most fragile team I have ever seen in my life, in any sport"



Russ Cohen on NHL radio - AV does not have the ability to make in game adjustments or adjustments of any kind (paraphrasing)

"The dump and chase is the worst idea for this team. They don't have the speed or the players to play that way."

"The kids don't seem to develop the way they do in other franchises"



They are tearing this franchise up for their player development, blaming Lappy among other things.

"Provorov and other young players development have stalled."

"Huge disconnect between AV's message and the players."


"AV definitely lost the room"

"The Flyers will never do a full rebuild, but they can definitely do a reset. Is Chuck the guy to do it? Not really sure"

Lots of interesting stuff.

Might be something to that. I think the bigger issue is they have a terrible mix of players, and lack overall talent.

Going to start calling them the Comcasts
- Just5

I'm in for the new name to be the Tyre Fyres!

This has always been it honestly.

It’s just no one seems to agree on a logical way of fixing it. It’s always a band-aid and a half assed rebuild. Because god forbid this team ever finish bottom 5.

Little brother syndrome.

Where is Opeth with his team negative narrative?
- PLindbergh31

I am actually completing my Team Negative application right now TBH.,. =)

I have always tried to be realistic and positive or at least fair about this team but I will tell you what this is as bad as it gets for me. At some point its the players that are the issue..The mix of players is just wrong and I dont see it getting any better going forward until its torn down and started over.

Now is the chance.....

Wholesale change.....change the music at the stadium......get rid of Lauren Hart......get rid of the FUGLY uniforms.....get rid of Jim Jackson.....get rid of Myrtetus.
