Great, bring in Torts and let’s finish right outside the playoffs. This organization really knows how to further themselves down the road of mediocrity. It’s comical at this point, they deserve this.

Bill all kidding aside. In your opinion is the door open or shut for a potential Clode return. Thanks.

So Atkinson has given the green light for Torts. We know Fletcher is easily led.

I'd question why they would want him back. I'd also question why he would want to come back.

So it will probably happen.

Torts might not be the best hire, but I won't be super upset if they do. Feel this team needs to have some accountability.

I would agree but we need to see what we have in these young guys and they need to play. It will be another year of Frost looking over his shoulder and playing 13 minutes because he gambled on a 50/50 puck. There’s a ton of young guys that could use some ice time. Instead the vets will be trotted out, Thompson re signing on the way.

Why would he want to come back? He is a free agent who can offer his services to a team that can contend for the cup.

So Torts isn't the right choice. Trotz isn't the right choice. Toch nope. Julien nah. I keep reading posts which HC candidate is the wrong choice. It would be refreshing to see which is the right choice and why.

Put him with better talent they said. Scored 4 ES goals in 28 games. 😂 Same people who want to dump on Jake for his low goal totals same people who would throw themselves in front of a bus for fraudGiroux 😂

That Mike Richards short-handed goal sequence you speak of Bill is colloquially known as "The Shift".

Torts may not be the best choice, but the Flyers need a disciplinarian type coach. Hopefully the Flyers will get a coach that will actually get the Flyers skating at the drop of the puck, instead of sleepwalking the first 2 periods? That has been going on for too many years.

Not sure if G would return to Philly, but if he does, it better be a cap friendly contract.

watch what the Malkin accepts from the Pens, if G takes a similar discount related to his value, sign him, if not let him go.

Flyers need to purge the roster of pretty much all the pre Chuck players. Start from scratch.

The current group will wilt under that type of coach!!! They have had enough diff coaches. It is time to change the players.

What's next for Bobrovsky. I think he gets shipped to Arizona where he'll never have to come up big on a big stage.

So what would you do if you were the GM was the question. I do believe Fletcher screwing up the choice has been discussed ad nauseum for awhile.
