Now that others mention it I remember another game TK clearly holding his arm as well. No doubt he has something going on.

Atkinson needs to sit, just stay off the ice.

That was my first Atkinson Sucks of the night.

He is the definition of cooked, the Flyers will have no choice but to buy out his final year and take on more dead cap space.

Torts is rapidly going from Jack Adams finalist to hot seat.

How far can they drop, enough for ping pong balls to get to 1, how does that work? Only can move up X amount of spots?

For awhile now.

And Poehling did the same thing on his inexplicable "shift" in overtime against the Rangers.

It’s the definition of a choke.

This is 100% a team choking away a chance at the playoffs.

Completely. No confidence left and it seems they’ve quit.

Also of note. Atkinson is now a black hole of suck. I remember when we first got him, he was at least decent.

Crazy thing is that I thought they competed very well vs the eastern elite during that 7 game stretch. I thought we were in a good spot. Since then, we’ve collapsed against the bottom feeders. I’m really surprised how fragile they have shown to be.

Didn't I tell you they were going to win this game?

Torts has no more bullets in his camber. Or buttons to push.

Konecny, without the puck, is holding the stick with one hand while holding the other arm as if it is broken. If he's still hurt, perhaps he should sit.

Aside from some other issues, he seems to be overstaying his shifts where he's been clearly sucking wind and making mistakes clearing the zone. He lucked out on one such shift at MSG, but he was completely gassed.

- GeorgeBailey


I'll have to look for that in the 2nd period. He completely shanked that 3 on 1 chance.

I don't buy at all that this team has quit. They've just redlined it for so long they've simply reached capacity.

No need to buy out if they are rebuilding. Which seems to be your take. Rather just waive him if need be as maybe that forces him to retire. Unlikely though. Probably end up working for the Flyers in some capacity.

No better way to make up for losing control of the puck on a breakaway (no shot) than by blowing coverage in the defensive zone.

While upset as a fan, you know he's trying. Can't be fun for him.

unfortunately it won't be until 25/26 until we can move on from alot of these contracts and fill in the team with some elite talent if possible (though UFA)

Unbelievable stat shown in the first period, the Flyers in the last 7 games have had 88 high danger chances and only 5 goals, while their opponents have only 55 high danger chances but have 13 goals. That pretty much sums it up, the Flyers can't get a save when they need it and offensively they couldn't turn a screw in a brothel.

I don’t think there’s such a thing as a high danger chance for the Flyers right now.

Just a really stupid play by a veteran player. Why skate behind the net there and around the other side leaving your coverage area?

Of course they have a choice. Keep him as a 13th forward or bury him in the minors. No buyout.

Why would a team in the playoffs and one who controls their own destiny quit? They wouldn’t.
