I wonder who owns the modern day record with consecutive seasons with the league's worst power play?
At this point does the on ice product even matter as long as fans come to the games? I mean really. There's no accountability, anywhere, unless you are a young player. Vets do whatever they want. They screw up twice as bad and twice as often the young guys and get their ice time increased.
Can't fire the guy in charge of the worst PP in league history, etc. It's all one big circus of incompetent people hoping nobody looks behind the curtain.
I'm not even sure why they dress Michkov anymore. He'd get more ice time in the AHL with the way Torts uses him.
The Flyers have apparently the best, unique culture of winning in the league embodied by role player vets who are to valuable to trade on a team that hasn't been to the playoffs in 5 years.
Don't want to be pressured at the TDL? Extend everyone! and i do mean everyone. Can't trade a role player who has 4 years and with a NTC. Makes life easier when there are fewer options.
How did the Flyers manage to fire only one person 2 years ago, move one person from color commentator, and declare with a straight face that things were going to be completely different? The names on the org chart now looks almost identical to the one when Fletcher was fired.

Cant fire rocky -- he exudes the Gold Standard of PP coaching
The triumvirate thinks that the ranking is the PP % and they are down with the number being really high
Not sure what people were expecting this season. I fully expected them to be worse.
Now they will be worse than I thought they will be.
I hope there are a few more trades. He can only make trades that make sense for the team and just not for the sake of making a trade. He does not have a lot to work with.
I don't want them to be as bad as Chicago or San Jose.

They actually are and we will see it in the near future -- they have been playing every game like a game 7 and it is starting to catch up with them

It’s a laughable franchise. They are waist deep in the muck. It’s so strange they have young fans

I imagine a big quit on Tortorella is coming too. I could see a bottom 4 finish. Maybe the league will give them some lottery luck like they gave Pittsburgh. No confidence they choose right but it would be nice to have.
What if any rookies may make the team next season?
Without Bills report i am lost. - WhiskeyMan
Probably none. Maybe Alex Bump. Luchanko is rumored to go back for another junior year. Defensemen like Grans and Andrae who may be in the roster by the end of the year. That sadly is it.

You can feel Danny’s urgency to get a center. Way to position yourself as desperate going into trade and FA negotiations
