Anybody else watching the Detroit broadcast? They are pretty fair in their assessments of the game. Even they are almost bewildered by the Flyers defensive zone play

" The Flyers just keep throwing the puck around the boards, there's no actual breakout...I have no idea what they're doing..."

"Again, the d-man gets the puck and he just throws it up the boards and out, turning it over. Why just keep basically giving it away...."

That has been going on for a season and a half but apparently that has nothing to do with the coaching.

Actually your entire post is flagellation. Fletcher's only job is to build a quality hockey team within the budget he is given to work with. How that money is spent and for what is his decision for the most part.
Context is always important. If he club was a contending championship level team with a quality defense 6 deep. Then of course there would be no complaining about keeping York in the minors. Since they're not, then the number one goal of the team is to develop players and build for the future. They think they're doing the right thing with York. I disagree with them.

You wanted Yandle over York before the season but we can pretend that wasn’t a thing

How does Laughton not stop and follow that puck?

Hahahahaha better late than never

I just witnessed Yandle’s first goal as a Flyer and of the season, Ratcliffe’s first assist of his nhl career and probably Laughton’s first PP point ever…live

Extended him so we win the iron streak Cup 🥤

Among the players on this roster, who would we even want to see start next season at the NHL level...assuming G is gone...
Forward
..............
Coots, Farabee, Konecny, Lindblom, McEwan, Frost, Laughton, Atkinson
Defense
................
Provy, Sanheim, York
Goal
.................................
Hart
For me thats it. Pretty sad state of affairs..

taryn looks like the wicked witch of the west

You are wrong


Yandle was signed on 8/28. Here are my first comments on the move.

https://hockeybuzz.com/bo...p?thread_id=174015&page=1

"Bringing in Yandle is not a back up plan for York. It pushes York to the AHL. Having a vet player bought in as a 7th would be a backup plan. Yandle was brought in to start in the top 6. "

https://hockeybuzz.com/bo...p?thread_id=174015&page=7

"Yandle wasn't brought in as protection in case York isn't ready. He was brought in to play ahead of York. Pre ordaining that York would go to the AHL."

"York is not going to be hurt by being sent down but the point is he is not going to have a legit shot to make the team. I disagree with that. "

https://hockeybuzz.com/bo...p?thread_id=174015&page=8

"
They've already determined that he needs AHL time. Hence the Yandle signing. Unless he blows them away, which is unlikely, he's going to the AHL. The writing is on the wall. "

https://hockeybuzz.com/bo...?thread_id=174015&page=11

"I would've preferred that they brought in a vet for the 7th spot that could jump in if York doesn't play well or make the team. Morin is then the 7th. Instead of what they actually did in signing Yandle which pretty much guarantees that York won't make the team out of camp barring injury."

TF kinda taunt was that Provorov?

Provy

Even a soft gun 🔫 can kill this franchise worst PP

MJL you actually archive your posts? Must say I find that a bit, um, unusual.

Friggin’ shooting gallery

How did I know that when I'd come back up the stairs while Detroit was on the PP it'd be 3-1?

I do not archive my posts. This poster has accused me of that in the past. I know what I said about the decision to sign Yandle. So I simply went back to the archive when Yandle was signed and found my comments. I'm not sure why I bother with a poster who has zero credibility. His delusional rants concerning Giroux show that.

Laughton should have did that on his breakaway

good game.

Most of you are so petty. I didn’t see the need for Yandle at the start of the season because we had York but I was fine with not rushing York in favor of Yandle. I was wrong.

I wanted Risto prior to the deal that brought him here. I’m not however in favor of moving a first round pick on draft day for a player like Ristolainen. Never was.
