High paid veterans getting a pass got Yeo fired in MIN. Vanek and Pominville floating for 4-5 games without missing a shift and young guys sitting for one mistake.
- Minnyhock


I get it that young players are unproven and need to earn their playing time your highest paid players need to drive the play. The young players need to be given time to find their way in the league. Sit them if they are not hustling or following your system.

Blaming the 3-4 line players will not move the needle.
This team is very frustrating and there doesn’t look like a turnaround is anywhere in sight.

Yes I do, its the fact that fans here are two faced. They want the team team to lose and rebuild but cry and complain when they make decisions that best serve to make us lose and do lose

So Fletcher actually gets paid to make these decisions....good for him, bad for us. Again, from Scott on down dysfunctional, incompetent, and out of touch. Its not the Phantoms squad (Mayhew, Willman, Seeler, etc.) fault. They have their limitations. But to keep Frost and York out when they could be gaining NHL experience is borderline criminal. Again, I feel bad for Hart...they are ruiniing him
- DANCER


Technically he gets paid to do what Scott wants. We will never really know what decisions are Fletcher's or Scott's. Yea Scott has no hockey knowledge and probably not going to tell him to make specific moves but he is definitely going to be in the way of the direction the team takes. He said just as much in the presser. Scott thinks the team is 2-3 pieces away. Regardless of whether Fletcher agrees or not he is being paid to take the team in the direction Scott wants. At the end of the day this team is not going to do well financially rebuilding. NHL counts on Philadelphia to be one of the teams that brings in the $$ for the revenue sharing

Even if Fletcher wanted to rebuild I doubt Scott would allow it. We all saw with Hextall what happens if you dont do what Scott wants. You can cry for Fletcher to be fired all you want but at the end of the day they are just going to replace him with another Yes man and nothing changes.

I can guarantee if CHI doesnt hire Chiarelli and Flyers fire Fletcher. He's going to be the next Flyer GM.

When Gorton came aboard, he said Ducharme was there for the rest of the season. Now that he’s gone it seems that the Flyers will have to fire Yeo. The team quit on Yeo in MIN and STL. I see the same thing happening here.

Exactly! What happened? I thought he was doing a phenom job getting them a high pick...

If there was any management on this team(there isn't) someone would walk into that room, and remove the jersey from Yandle and tell him right to his face that you've played your least game here and GTFO!! Just watch a replay of the Wings second goal. He is drifting out at the blue line with no purpose whatsoever. Looks like Hart also got the memo to start tanking. Thanks!

Flyers and Jets look like their going the same route. Retool not rebuild.

The players forced his hand. Petry said twice publicly that his systems didn’t work. Josh Anderson said the team didn’t feel like playing hockey and the environment was toxic.

The epitome of being damned with faint praise. Whats depressing is that there are still more than 30 games left in this nightmare of a season!
- DANCER

I couldn’t care less if Nick Seeler had a 10 assist night tonight. I hate watching him play. Seeler in the line up is an even worse on going on than Yandle’s iron man record because it shows we have zero depth anywhere. Seeler’s two assists doesn’t whip clean two bad plays on two goals against. His shot blocking is so awkward.

Perhaps you really need to blame Yandle on the second Wings goal. Maybe Seeler didn't play it well, but at least he was in the picture while Yandle was skating with his head up his ass out near the blueline.

That might work for the Jets. The Flyers can’t retool this mess.

You're right they should just bring up all our prospects, sit the the guys that help us lose and get another middle of the pack pick in a shallow draft so we can complain how we dont get top talent by drafting in the top 5. You contradict yourself. You say Flyers make DET look good, so clearly you think they are bad. Yet DET is apparently doing a good job playing young players.


- xShoot4WarAmpsx


I contradict myself? LOL Raymond and Seider sure look good. It appears to me that Detroit is doing a fine job developing them as players.



Flyers arent making moves to just lose. Frost and York should not be on this team. They were brought up because of injuries. Guys came back. There is no need for them to be here. They should be in the minors improving their game. York and Frost should be the top players on the Phantoms and get PP time. The fact they arent on PP1 is another topic completely.


- xShoot4WarAmpsx


Now who is contradicting themselves? Frost and York should absolutely be on this team. They're NHL players. They should be getting ice time with the Flyers and playing on the PP. I know it's tough to find a spot for them with how the Flyers PP is clicking but maybe some sacrifices have to be made. LOL



Big picture is we need Frost and York to become core pieces in this team. We also need top end talent and like everyone knows that talent is obtained through the draft. It isnt like we are purposely using AHL players to lose games. Fact is we have to, the difference is we are playing guys we are looking to develop into a bottom 6 position or bottom pair guy like Seeler. Yandle was brought in to play for the team, there is no benefit to sitting him now.

- xShoot4WarAmpsx


Yandle is no longer a viable NHL player. You actually think the Flyers are trying to develop Seeler? That's hysterical. He is at best a fill in 7th defenseman in this league. Period! Frost and York belong in the NHL. The only caveat to that is that the coaching staff is completely incompetent.

You were all for Yandle over York before the season started. Real easy to play Monday quarterback. Try having some foresight
