Long story short… team stinks and they need to tear it down and start over.

Reality? I’m not even sure they can.

So the Flyers aren't getting any players back for tonight's game? It's the same lineup they played vs. Pittsburgh minus Brassard? Is this correct?

No reason to watch another poop show.

What do you mean, there is a chance that at least one of Seeler and/or Cates could exit protocol and return to the lineup against San Jose, isn't that worth watching?

Guess I'll be watching the Avs/Leafs on NHL Network. Will be much more exciting to watch!

From Bill's "5 Things" gor the game (https://www.nhl.com/flyer...ers-vs-sharks/c-329589660):
Based on Friday's practice combos, the lineup could look something like this:

86 Joel Farabee - 21 Scott Laughton - 89 Cam Atkinson
71 Max Willman - 13 Kevin Hayes - 25 James van Riemsdyk
23 Oskar Lindblom - 48 Morgan Frost - ???
??? - 38 Kevin Brown - 17 Zack MacEwen

Candidates for lineup: 82 Connor Bunnaman (healthy), 59 Jackson Cates (may exit COVID protocol), 20 Gerry Mayhew (day-to-day injury), 19 Derick Brassard (doubtful).

45 Cam York - 61 Justin Braun
54 Egor Zamula - 70 Rasmus Ristolainen
3 Keith Yandle - ???

Candidates for lineup: 8 Kevin Connauton (healthy), 24 Nick Seeler (may exit COVID protocol).

35 Martin Jones
[79 Carter Hart]

So tell me when this team in the past decade was more than a bubble team? They year we lost to the Rangers in 7 was probably the best of the bunch but unfortunately mason didn’t play the first 3-4 games.

You’re talking about a team that has won two cups recently. And again the biggest thing people seem to miss here is that the coach in Pittsburg clearly demands effort and accountability meanwhile we hired a college jerk off and then AV

And most recently, we can''t get BB vancoooverrr back in hunt playing much better.
Us we put a bandaid over a compound fracture in Yeo...
Only reason why Id like Tocchet, is the quote someone put on here about Lemieux telling him you're not in Philly anymore we keep possession.

He could probably still punch you in the face too.

Had the season continued maybe. They played Montreal and got by strictly due to Hart and then lost in the real first round. They looked nothing like the team that finished the regular season but that’s not their fault

Yes, Get somebody in here that’s going to demand respect and accountability. Not saying that’s Toch but I’m with you

Still scared to rebuild huh?

Blaming Giroux for any of this is nothing but laziness, from those afraid to admit where the actual problem with the Flyers lies.

Hint? It’s not anyone on the bench.

Any idea when the Flyers media will have the balls to truly start writing about ownership, and the GM?

Spitting on what Snider helped create.

It's time to trade Giroux, and see what other offers we get towards the deadline.

If anything halfway-decent comes his way, I hope Fletcher takes it.
And I do mean "anything" decent.

I’d be happy if they just reported on injury status. See Allison…. What ever happened to those days?

Do you recall when Vigneault was hired? How he was talking about how it's his way or the high way? How if you didn't play the right way, you weren't going to play? It was the talk on this forum. That's not what this teams top issues are. They need a modern day NHL front office and coaching staff. They need to focus on drafting and developing talent and fix how they develop talent. They need to focus on transition play and attacking. The need to become a much better team. When they do that, then culture and accountability will come with it and leadership will be much more effective.

No on Toch...no on anyone with any tie in to Flyers past. Things arent going to change though unless you get a President of hockey operations like J Davidson who ownership leaves alone...clear out Clarke..Homer and all the country club ex Flyers and someone who owner let's run the show

That's the exact opposite of what they should do. That's exactly a big part of why this team is where it's at. Good teams and GM's don't do that. They don't make moves just to make them. They don't say they have to make moves and then make the best moves they can find. That is the kiss of death for a team. Good GM's are patient and they find and make the right moves. The moment Holmgren and Scott had that press conference and announced to the hockey world that they were desperate and were going to have an "action bias". They were done.

Oh I understood, and took no offense. I was also being facetious.

(Also, someone else would tell ya I'm at least old enough to remember Spring Break '85 in Panama City Beach, but young enough to forget the last time the Flyers went to the Stanley Cup Finals. )

Not surprised in the least if true. Yeo is an ext of the prior coaching staff. Just makes you laugh at this organization in every way. Sends such a strong message to young players.

Really hope Attard doesn't sign here for his own sake.
