Take the point. Not great but Bing was rock solid this game.

Desperately need Konecny back, and another player on top of that who can put the puck in the net.

Too many muckers and grinders on this roster.

just stop embarrassing yourself

You're an idiot jd. With Staal on the ice tonight at 5 on 5. Shot attempts were 17-6 Flyers. Giving him a CF% of 73.91%. He was not on the ice for any goals against. He had an expected GF% of 81.80. Scoring chances were 8-3 Flyers. High danger scoring chances were 4-0 Flyers. He had zero charged giveaways. The only small blemish in his game was the penalty he took. I'm not a Staal fan at this point in time but he played a good game tonight.

You posting that he was bad tonight, is just another indication that you don't have a clue of what you're looking at in the game of hockey.

Poehling and Laughton getting over 20 minutes. Torts riding the checking centers.

The Blues never sent a single defensive forward over the boards.

Flyers are still trying to grind and line match in 3v3

That's Tortorella for you. A master strategist. A non conference, non division game. Already have a point. Go for the win.

Laughton has earned the ice time. He's been very good the last month.

Yep. Doesn't make much sense not attacking in OT. The upcoming schedule is brutal. Needed 2 points tonight.

It's going to be disappointing if Briere does not get a draft pick as a 3rd team.

Progress. One of the major issues with Tortorella. Excessive love for grinders. Loves Poehling. Not a knock on Poehling as he plays his balls off but he's a 4th line center.

Aside from the Sharks game next Tuesday, there isn't a favorable game until March 28th against Montreal.

Sh!ts about to get real and the other shoe is about to drop.

The Flyers overall played a solid game. They dominated the 3rd period. They got out goaltended in the game. If that's a word. This team lacks finish and that's exacerbated with the loss of Konency.

Put Attard in!! Every single time the puck was on Staal's stick in the offensive zone the play died. This team needs offense! Foerster is a stud in the making and Hayes is still a d!ck! He trips over himself and scores his first goal in 19 games. What's wrong with Coots? Obviously battling through yet another injury of some type. Seeler probably has a broken foot and if that's the case they ain't trading anyone. The gauntlet is upon them starting with Florida (the best team in the NHL) on Thursday night. Isles with some easier games coming up. That lead is gonna shrink. Worst case is the Flyers do nothing and still miss the dance. You know how this will probably turn out cause Flyers gonna Flyer.

Yeah I agree on tonight. Even with Konecny's return it's an uphill battle taking on the Floridas, Bostons, Carolinas, and Rags of the world.

Hate to write it, but I think they are going to trade for a goalie. 19 games to go with 2 more back to backs. Ersson has played in 35 games so far as a rookie. I don't think they want to push him much past 45 games down the stretch.

Not a lot of offensive guys to start to choose from. I’m sure he would have started Couturier if he trust our captain to be dangerous in anyway right now. So if not Coots, I’d definitely gone with Laughton to start OT (which he didn’t) and sneak Frost out there once we gain possession. I definitely wouldn’t have had Frost out there to start OT in case we lost the faceoff.

Going to ride the Laughts and Ryan P line, I get it, okay the hot hand but not when you need a goal, Torts get paid to take the risks, not to play it safe, especially the OT

Danny can’t be sleeping too well lately. My guess is he is having dreams of a nasty dog chasing him. And just as the dog is about to sink his teeth in the dog’s face turns into Tortorella. Wakes up in a cold sweat.

Rooting for a guy to have a broken bone. I see the turds are firmly in the punch bowl this morning. Maybe take up the game of golf or something and take a break from this place. And no one gives a $hit what you eat for breakfast.

all kidding aside this is one of the worst scenarios he could be in at this time imo. Then again we know the rebuild is BS so maybe it is a good spot for him.

I am more interested in seeing who they may acquire. Will it be a nate thompson Torts guy? Or will they actually look to add offense?

for my own enjoyment I hope they dont trade anyone out of seeler walker laughton.
