Complaining about Torts for playing “vets” who are on the roster & ignoring the “future” then complaining about his benching of Hayes is comical.

Younger guys are seeing it doesn’t matter who you are if you don’t bust your balls you will sit. But we get it most just want to complain about something & develop a culture of putting the young guys through tank mode & never taste competing or winning. What a culture 👏

Rags on a 5 game heater. I didn't realize that. Watch the Flyers get smoked 8-0 tonight and Chuckles fires Torts after the game for benching Lazy Hazy! Nothing would surprise me anymore with this disheveled franchise.

In regards to Sedlak it seems 1 of 2 possible scenarios. 1. He was just missing home or 2. He was frustrated by the country club atmosphere that exists here that was started by CC & now continued by provy laughton tk hayes

Normally I’m annoyed by the same commercial repeating constantly during a game, but I’m ok with that pointsbet commercial.

Didn't look at anything hockey related today and just sat down to turn the came on and read the blog and thread. WTF, things can't get any more bizarre with this organization.

Nobody is complaining about Hayes being benched. We're marveling at the organizational dysfunction. Chuck signs a guy to a ridiculous contract, then ends up hiring a coach who hates that player lol.

Like who, Hakstol, who played Vandevelde for 78 games
- ClaudeFather

Dave Hakstol played Vandevelde for 160 of the 250 games he played for the the Flyers. Before that he played 28 games over 3 seasons for the Edmonton oilers, all prior to McDavid being drafted. After the Flyers couldn’t justify him playing to the fans anymore and he was forced to seek employment as a professional hockey player for an organization not as stupid as the Flyers, he had to play one season in Liiga, then one season in the EBEL. After that he successfully convinced everyone in organized hockey worldwide how awful he is and has freed us from ever having to watch him play ice hockey ever again. As a Flyers fan I would like to apologize to hockey fans around the world for not being vocal enough in my disgust for the state of the team at the time as well as it’s direction, to force them to jettison Chris Vandevelde from the team.

Today has been of “I’ve said this all along” as if we’re all keeping note or “Look who’s laughing now??”

My question is to all those who live in a world of right, if JvR was only ever only going to fetch us a 4th round pick at best (as stated all summer) has his value gone up at all?

He has to be worth a 2nd at least with half his salary retained? I dont know his points total but if it's reasonable it could easily be a first.

Let him revel. He was also right about Phil Myers all along. Years and years of telling anyone who would listen. Let it hang off his chest like a badge of honor.

Yea, looks like a potential solid player. 6th round, would be nice to get a home grown guy like that as a staple bottom 6.
