  1. Love Hartsy in the presser… Keeps it fun and light. All the hype of Torts media moments but he’s been great w thoughtful and insightful answers

  2. Farabee and ersson are the only young players with big improvement so far. It just isnt brink , others like cates are floundering

  3. What I like best about torts is he leaves players offensive game alone
    Just teaches defense side of game to make a player more balanced

  4. Flyers 3-2 with Drysdale in the lineup. Only 1 ppa. Averaging 3.5 goals against.

    With tippet out other team will be more courageous exposing Tortorella strong defense?

  5. As a Habs fan I loveTortorella you have a great coach the habs are in a rebuilding situation too believe in Tortorella he knows I wish you guys success

  6. So let me get this straight .. Brink who made the team outta camp which was a huge suprise to everyone and is averaging half a point a game just under.. is a plus 6 is a huge defensive liability and doesnt work hatd in practice or carry himself professionally? KID from a far seems pretty humble to me?!!

    Our goaltending situation.. being a FLYERS fan since 73 has bin the best its bin in what maybe 5 years or more and to me its looks like Torts as per norm is trying to get in Harts helmet and ratlle his comfidence? Y?? Sammy has played well as they both have but hes a little ripe to be putting all of our eggs in his basket no?? (Mind games something new)

    Foerster who I am totally happy with has made the jump to the show and I dont have problem with him other than his skating needs a ton of work.. But let's face it hes played top 6 pretty much most of year bin on the powerplay 80percent of the time and has 14points 5goals in 45games but was referred to by Torts as a goal scorer!!!

    WHAT HE JUST SPOKE ABOUT WAS IS HIS EXPERTISE CHECK CHECK CHECK if he continues with this 11 and 7 we are gonna continue to fall .. and it hasnt bin 11 and 7 more like 8.5 and 7 and the last 6periods show we run outta gas !! BECAREFUL tonight cause Cooper tampas coach is a little bit of a mastermind as hes shown.. Ah jesus we should be fine cause atkitson is rolling again!!
    .
    I HOPE WE WIN TONIGHT !! Playoff hockey sucks when your team aint in it!

  7. I'm so bummed about hart. He hasn't been himself for a while now. I love hart and don't believe he had anything to do with the sexual assault case. He has health issues and I think he needs time heal mentally too. I didn't think he was going to be with us after this season anyway. Sad it's been this way. I hope he comes back to the game whether with Philly or not. I think errson should've been #1. I think he'll have a vezina in the near future. I think he's the next fleury. This is a bad time for our stars to start going down. We NEED tippers back. No matter what, we're in good hands with torts and briere. We will have a parade in the next few seasons.
