Why question the tactics of the hands down Jack Adam’s award winning coach?

Not with stupid decisions like that.

Poehling has one hand on his stick and holding his other arm close to his body like he is favoring something. He shouldn't be on the ice and he should tell the coach that he's banged up. The Flyers have a number of better offensive players that are also reliable defensively. Starting Poehling and Cates is just absurd. I wonder if Fox's shot deflected? If not, that's a save that Ersson has to make.

Suck bag Sanheim shouldn’t see the ice in OT, I’ve said this multiple times now, I would have started Couts, Tippet and TK and if I win the draw quickly swap Couts out with Frost. You don’t need defenseman 3 on 3, unless it’s Drysdale. Play offense!

Anything is better than that. I wonder if jd will be back before playoffs. Saw he was practicing today.

Just another asinine opinion. Sanheim is the Flyers best offensive defenseman and is a good skater. He absolutely should be out there in OT. Shouldn't start 3 forwards. Need to have one defenseman out there.

So Torts starts Cates, Poehling and Suck bag Sanheim, what do you expect? And Poehling was hurt! What a freaking joke, the Flyers were the better team tonight. Torts has got to be called out for this, it’s just stubborn, stupid coaching!! I really freaking hate it!

Oh, yea. He is not perfect. Horrible players on all that open ice 🧊

Be nice for Ersson to save that as well. He probably should have had it.

How many blocker side goals did he give up this game? I hadn't noticed that pattern this season but it's pretty clear the Rags did!

I’d use speedy offensive dmen. If you have jd then rotate him and sanheim. For forwards, id use frost with ot to start. They have solid chemistry and ot can burn. Other team has to respect it. Then maybe tk with coots. Coots is not a speedster but plays a good positional game and wins a draw. He’s got an ot winner this year too.

He has to be better in the entire 3rd period as well….he’s young and it’s a learning experience …but that’s a game they should win.

It s funny to think Tippett is one of the fastest skaters in the league and cannot sniff 3 on 3.

All things considered, all of us would have taken 4-4-2 for this stretch.

But some points were left on the table. Win and lose with your best players in OT.

Sometimes a goalie isn’t directly to blame for the goals but you just can’t make a save for the life of you. That’s what I was seeing from him. Maybe the 6th goal he should have had. Frustrating as a goalie when that happens. Your team scores 3 in the third and you give up 5.

Tippett is a mixed bag for OT. Favorable due to his speed and he's a good goal scorer but he's not very good defensively. Personally, I role the dice. Play aggressively and play to win.

Just saw another clip of it. Not deflected, but the stick was nearby. Perhaps it distracted him?

He decides in OT to go with his defensive responsible guys ? After you lose 4 or 5 in a row with this stupid approach…oh look he sends out assistant to answer questions…

He’d still give you a better shot and injured poehling.

Yea, not a Torts hater but that's one of the many things that ticks me off about him. He's the head coach and part of his job is to address the media. I like a lot of things he does, but he is a sore loser and needs to step it up and do his job.

Edit: Shaws answer is as stupid as what’s Torts would say. A 2oo ft game is why Poehling starts OT.

Yes, that's what I was inferring by roll the dice and play aggressively.
