this is an organizational failure Bill.

Why have a player potentially struggle when he is called up do to different systems? That isn't the best way to develop imo. You want to make it as seamless as possible no? So again Torts is running the franchise more so than others.

Not disagreeing. Just saying that if Tortorella himself wanted them to do it, they would.

That's a separate issue from how Hilftery's hiring has been taking shape internally. But, yes, fans should focus on hockey ops and how that is/will be doing.

I'm simply responding to the notion that Dave Scott was sent into retirement and a clone was brought it. That couldn't be further from the truth. If it was true, I wouldn't say much of anything about it.

It's a very Comcast way of doing things. And Hilftery is huge on collaborative efforts, so I'd say it's the way they want things done. Will it work? I don't know. We'll see. It's two months into the first season with that arrangement.

Gut tells me they wind up extending Walker. I don't see them going after Huberdeau.
- bmeltzer

He hasn’t been bad. But no, they should trade him for as much as they can get.

got it.

Just seems so odd to me why it would be different. Very odd.

this is 100% true

we need a superstar to re-energize the fan base and bring back a culture of winning. I feel like the franchise is one step from complete irrelevancy in the NHL
- 2Real

Complete irrelevancy in the NHL? What the hell are you talking about as usual? Why don't you go back to pulling Jalen's pudd.

Now that I think about it, when Comcast was getting its butt kicked by Fios it rebranded its existing poopty overpriced internet infrastructure to Xfinity without really changing anything.

Sound familiar?

Yes! Thank you.

there's probably more devil fans now than flyers look at al the exciting players they have to cheer for...
- 2Real

Devils? They can't fill their own arena and when they win Cups they have the parade in the parking lot with 35,000 people. Again, what the hell are you talking about? Stop the nonsense please!

Regarding some other comments made in today's thread:

* Don't assume the Phantoms' game-by-game lineups are determined the same way that the Flyers are. They're not.

* The Phantoms playing different systems than the Flyers because Tortorella said he wants the AHL coaches to have the freedom to determine their own and is totally fine if they don't closely replicate what Tortorella and staff do. So that was Torts' call. If the org wanted the Phantoms to employ Flyers' systems, they would.
- bmeltzer

This is a failure that is squarely on Torts. You look at the best run organizations and they play the same system at both levels. This really should be a no brainer and is quite disturbing to me.

That's funny.

wilson yes reeves even torts I think realizes he cant play.
- hello it's me 2050

he ices nd every game though

funny that it loves bringing up football all of a sudden after crying about others talking about "other sports" for years. It claims not to be a cowboys fan but wont state what team it follows when pressed. It is a coward

- THE BLACK HAND

What's funny is you calling someone it cause your stupid ass jokes went over like a lead balloon. Here we go with the coward thing again. You ever bail hay tough guy? Ever work in a prison tough guy? Know a shred about the Marshall arts tough guy? I really wish the Eagles would have lost that game (even though we all know it was fixed) just to see you run under your bed with your Jalen jammies on. Enjoy your 6-5 team disguised as a 10-1 team. Wanna put some mula on the upcoming Niners game? I saw you mention golf the other day. Wanna golf for cash? Can play on your home course for any amount you want. Can be match play or stroke play (you'd probably prefer stroke play ). You see what I did there? Hammerhead!

2 ES assists and zero ES goals in 20 games averaging 13:14 for Foerster. The kid ain't snake bit, the snake swallowed him whole.

He's the not the Flyer forward averaging well under one ESP/60, but he is the only one playing top line minutes. The rest are 4th line material: Cates, Deslauriers and Hathaway.

He's a kid learning his trade at the highest level. The other guys you mentioned are hardly kids and being on the top line means that he is playing against the opponents best defenders. The kid has an NHL shot, and he is a +5 with 13 hits and 41 shots. Perhaps the shootout goal the other night boosts his confidence and he starts finding the mark with some of his chances more often.

It doesnt understand that the golf line is a joke but 100% true, unlike the fantasies that it posts

The fact that it was a joke is up for debate. It actually was still born. As in, the only one that thought it was remotely comical was you. The self made ignoramus. You did a hell of a job embarrassing yourself though. Congrats on that! I figured you probably never picked up a golf club in your life figuring that you are probably about as coordinated as Bozo the clown. Oh, you wanna know who I root for in the NFL? Whichever team plays the Eagles on a given week is the team that I root for that week!

Why the Eagle hate? I have a similar dislike for the Cowboy’s…but that’s self explanatory.

I do not like your commentary style.
I think that infers that you are not likable, especially by me.

As to the other team you want to vilify for beating nearly everyone, isn't this the mark of a team that will go to the POs and maybe make some noise?
You should consider your allegiances and go where your POV is appreciated.
These are Philly fans that you are trying to swat.
Come back for the occasional rush you get for defaming our teams. It may be amusing then.
After you learn English.
"Bail" is BALE.
"Marshall arts" is "MARTIAL arts.

- hello it's me 2050

It’s Torts job to coach him up….I don’t think he’s been that bad…a few up and down games…but Christ that’s what rookies do. Sounds like he trying to prepare fans for a more veteran blue line.
