Yeo is terrible.
- MJL

According to Yeo the players just aren’t listening.

“We’ve got to get the players to understand that they can play the way they want to play or they can play winning hockey” Yeo after tonight’s game
- Dkos

I think that statement is directed towards Hayes and Yandle for sure! Hayes dangling with the puck then turning it over is bad areas of the ice. Yandle consistently not getting pucks to the net on the PP. I can only hope after the deadline York is QBing the PP, at least he gets pucks to the net.

He's an NHL rookie. He showed his skill tonight, albeit against a bad team. He should've been playing with skilled players all along.
- MJL

I think that Frost played well tonight.

The team’s lack of focus and their ill advised lazy passes have been their downfall the whole season. It’s really hard to watch. Grasping another loss from the jaws victory has been too familiar this year. The next coach has his work cut out for him.

Is there any other way to lose a game at this point? I mean this Flyers team is going to be a reference team for many years to come, demonstrating to other teams the various ways you can possibly lose a game. Its tragically comical

Sanheim took responsibility for the tying goal….but I have a problem with that. Again, sure he could have been tougher on the puck, but the this team has a bunch of forwards that seem to play properly in their own end once in a while. Yeo ripped into them after the game and he should. That’s just proper hockey…it’s not really that hard. Guys coming back into their own end have defensive responsibilities.

That’s obvious.

Regardless of Risto down in the corner, it’s poor coverage in their own end…when there’s no reason to be outmanned like that….they didn’t need to score again they just had to put up resistance. It’s been a calamity of mental errors all year again….after a calamity of errors for most of last season.

Couldn’t agree more.

Is anyone coaching this team? The faceoff is in your zone and you're on the PP with a minute left up by a goal. The very thing you shouldn't do was done. Why the phuck would you just give them possession after winning said faceoff? This is pee wee hockey stuff. Brassard just GAVE them the puck. Then after giving up possession they all go instantly on their heels to let the Habs come right up the ice. This is bad news bears type shyte. While I didn't see the entire game I thought this was Risto's worst game as a Flyer. Totally out of control at times and directly responsible for the Habs second goal. Takes a bad angle along the wall and then doesn't pick the same guy up in front when he had time to recover. I think he plays hard, but at times he seems like a brainless twit.

On another note, Hey Chucky. Did you see that game winner?? LOSER!!

It's indicative of a poorly coached team who still can't get their defensive assignments worked out.
- MJL

I disagree, this is on the players. They are professional hockey players, they should know what to do in every situation and know where to be. You should not have to tell professional hockey players "Hey there is one minute left in the game and you have the PP, don't stop skating and work hard to keep possession of the puck!" These players are a joke.

Yeo has preached and practiced accountability according to you. That explains why Yandle is penciled in every game.

Can't wait for the next Nolan Patrick. It's going to be awesome!

Precisely why I won’t cheer for them to lose when all it might get us is another wasted pick.

I actually think the top 5 in this draft are pretty solid. Would be thrilled with any of them really.

Well then who needs a coach?


It's easy to watch teams and see who is well coached and who isn't. The Flyers are not and have not been a well coached team.

Of course it’s on the players….but you need a coach that they listen too or new players and a new coach.

This is not on Yeo, these players suck plain and simple. Look at the roster, there is not on legitimate top line player on this team. It starts there. Every one rips me for posting anything bad about Giroux, but how was his leadership on the ice with 1 minute to go? Was Giroux fighting for that puck on the PP? Was Giroux in the right position in his own end on that game tying goal? How did Giroux do on the PP in OT? Everyone raves about Giroux's on ice leadership, so isn't it fair to then criticize him for not leading the team to play the right way on the PP with 1 minute left? Instead we blame Yeo for not telling players what equates to tie your show when your shoelace is untied.,

You got to flush as many of these players as you can, otherwise the same thing will happen next year that happened to AV this year, i.e. the players will listen to the coach for 1/2 season and then go back to playing the way they want. Its an un-coachable team IMO.

I would like to get Nemic, top RHS defenseman, or Lambert.

Can only legitimate top line players get the coverage correct on the Habs tying goal? It's not about telling. It's about coaching. Flyers are still playing the overload, still have issues sorting out coverages. It is the coaches job to correct those issues. It's been going on for two plus years.

Yeo has preached and practiced accountability according to you. That explains why Yandle is penciled in every game.
- MJL

Well, this is where I agree with you. I don't mind Yandle playing at this point because he helps the Flyers lose games, but for Pete sake, does he have to QB the PP? I mean you can already see York is WAYYYY better than Yandle on the PP and yet Yeo keeps sending the same stiffs out there on the PP game after game. PPs are all about the creativity of the players and the Flyers are in last place in the league for a reason. What was hilarious was Boucher on the Flyers broadcast stating he liked the Flyers first PP, but clearly all Yandle does is make safe passes that lead to nothing. He doesn't shoot and he doesn't have a clue what to do IMO.

Hey if they had ex selke and healthy roster all would be better🤷‍♂️

It’s on everyone - the GM, coaches, and the players. A good coach would have to think twice before accepting a position in that environment.

Fitting -- chuckles should be fired

Oh I don’t blame Yeo. I’m simply saying if a team doesn’t listen to a coach then talent won’t fix that. Yeo should have been canned with AV. They didn’t lose tonight because of talent. These guys that make it to the NHL are all great coach’s. But they also have a shelf life, and not all groups of players will respond or listen to the the guy at the helm.

They would be better if they are healthy…the question is by how much?

The coach cannot go out there and play. If you are right and the same d-zone coverage system is in place, why haven't experienced NHL players Like Giroux, Sanheim and Brassard figured it out by now, its only been about 3 seasons now??

Well, look at their forward lines and replace Brassard (who will be traded) with Couturier. Look carefully .. study it completely ... now .. what do you conclude? I concluded not even close to good enough!
