Apathy turned to disappointment turned to disgust
turned to anger. Turned to visceral turned to trolling


Pretty much where any real fan is at with this team.

yes and you keep coming back and saying how much you hate this team and are "out." But you still keep posting. Go Utah! Go Sabres! There are plenty of teams out there.

Except that IS exactly what 90 % of flyers fanbase is. Dumb…. And that’s why they fall for it over and over and over again. And cumcast knows it

I think folks who hate the organization and call other fans dumb but comment on a flyers blog multiple times a day are kinda dumb

It’s sad I’m already checked out for the upcoming season. Full vote into archery into the fall. The flyers will be an also ran for entertainment.

You are pathetic if you are checked out already.

I just realized this Konecny deal is the largest in franchise history.

No, realized, then looked it up and was right.

Remember, you can love the hockey team and still despise its front office and the way it’s run. Doesn’t make you any less of a fan. Right now, the way it’s being run, the words coming out of the front office, and the actions being taken are frustrating many of us. But we still cheer for the logo on the front.

I laugh hysterically at those who come on and post and tell others that if they're so unhappy with the team, just don't be a fan. As if being critical is not part of being a fan. They don't have the common sense to figure that out. They criticize others as to why they're wasting their time posting about a team they hate! They don't have the awareness that they're doing the very same thing by posting all of that. At least those who are critical are discussing the team. Doing that is the epitome of stupidity.

100%….I was a fan long before the new regime. I suspect I will be a fan when they are gone. I still hope their plan, whatever the hell it is works, but I have my doubts.

Its painfully obvious at this point that the team plans to buy its way in to contention. Sure, that may work in the short term, as they may be contenders if they add a big time 1c and 1d via free agency. But it will artificially shrink the window. Its frustrating for fans to see the possibilities. They see so many teams getting multiple high end draft picks and then see them be in the SC picture year after year as a result. Meanwhile, we get our hearts destroyed by a perpetual bubble team drafting in the middle to late spots drafting 2nd a 3rd liners in perpetuity.

There is very little chance they will be able to add the type of 1C or 1D needed to build the foundational core of a perennial legitimate contending team by trade or free agency. Almost none in the current NHL environment. They are franchise that continues to double down on failed processes and strategies. I guess based on this post, I'm required to be a fan of another team.

Truth is the Flyers see their core as good enough to add around it.

Travis Konecny
Owen Tippett
Sean Couturier
Joel Farabee
Morgan Frost
Matvei Michkov
Tyson Foerster
Jamie Drysdale
Cam York
Travis Sanheim
Samuel Ersson

Add in the picks this coming draft and they must believe they can thread the needle with FA and trades. Look if all goes perfect, all players take another step, they get some surprises from past drafts and by some miracle they end up moving up in the 2025 draft, yea, I can see why they think they can ice a team that might have a few years to get lucky and win. I mean Jaime D could be the real deal, Coots might round back into form, Tk with better support could get 90, Tip might end to be a great power forward, York could be a top pair D, Zamula could be a 3-5, Ers could be a #1. Frost could be a 2c , Foerster could be top 6 and selke worthy, Farabee plus could bring back a needed piece or he could be a 30 goal guy. Bonk and Barkey could be the real deal. Jett could be Jett. They might be able to get into the top 10 and top 15 of next years draft. DB could have an ace up his sleeve, he could make the blockbuster trade.

My gosh you can see why the fan base is frustrated, from all that has been done or not done, most is pinned to hope and luck, while selling off would get you into the top of the draft and is the high percentage play.

They see it as the core has been built, to much young talent to walk away from or lose with. I get that, last year was that, hell if Coots didn’t run out of steam and Torts didn’t self destruct they would have made the playoffs, see, Torts is a useful idiot. They are unwilling to sell the youth they built and falsely believe they need vets around them.

I don’t agree but will still watch, I want them to win, but there will be a part of me that wants them to lose. The TDL this season will be the final piece, if in contention for the playoffs, it will cement the path of good luck and buying their way back. Out of the playoffs and maybe they sell what they can, there is always hope, don’t hold your breath.

Either way go Flyers
