If Torts wins with this lineup tomorrow everyone is going to forget the first 5 games and be back on the bandwagon.

Bill Meltzer: Flyers Change Forward Lines at Practice - bmeltzer
The first line is impossible to accept. It’s too soon to overreact over the fourth line, we’ll have to wait to see what happens with Scott Laughton. I do like line 2 and 3, although to put Couturier back in the middle tells me Torts just threw away opening night.
As for the D pairs, I haven’t enjoyed watching Johnson, Drysdale or Zamula at even strength. I’ve kinda hoped that Torts would consider breaking up the top pair to create balance but if Seeler is returning now, there is no point. I personally don’t think Seeler is going to make Drysdale better. I’d like to see Seeler and Ristolainen as a second pair and give Zamula and Drysdale sheltered minutes together. I know not many will ever like Risto no matter what he does, I just think Zamula has been the weaker defender of the two. |

I find the fact that Poehling has a spot on the PP more concerning.
Clearly this is not Torts sending just a message to others, this is him saying Poehling is our best center....
Not good, not good at all.

Putting RP as your first line center and scratching JL would be coaching malpractice. Frost should be on the 1st line followed by Couturier, Cates, then RP.
Either play JL or send him back to JR’s.

Poehling should have been the first player to be scratched in favor of Cates after game 1 of the season. |

Maybe Torts is trying to tell Danny, get me the center I want or I will play Poehling at 1C.

For that to happen Chuck Fletcher's protege would have to grow a spine first. |

Followed the team for decades, not including all the Broad street bully years of my childhood. I've got no idea what's supposed to be happening now. I didn't understand signing Coots long term instead of trading him, and I didn't understand signing TK with NTC instead of trading him for the future. If it's let the kids play, then why are Poehling and Laughton leading so much, instead of Frost etc., why not let Brink play more than Hathaway. I have nothing against Torts. I agree with most of what he says. I just don't understand what the point of holding onto the veterans is. Is it really mentoring the youth? (If so, do the cheap aging vet 1 year deals.) And when do we move on from Farabee et al?
I feel like it's just the same team as last year, still with unnecessary bad contracts. |
