  1. What a coaching job – always truthful – even if it's ugly to say. Only man who can lead this club out of the fog they have been in.

  2. I'm happy with the win the Flyers is my team but they have no lineup especially at the forwards position, maybe for the rebuild not good we need some talent Up front and size too

  3. coach wets his pants when thinking about sitting a defenseman for 12 forwards even tho the flyers need more offense.

  4. The only players Tortorella trusts are Konecny and Ersson. He's already stated older players will be traded for fresh assets.

    I see no evidence that Jamie Drysdale's offensive ability is thriving under Tortorella. Quite the contrary.

    Now we have the added dynamic of Tortorella jumping on Tippet to live up to that contract.

    That paralysis in the first period is directly the result of Tortorella. He demands young players be positive plus/minus while putting up offence #'s that impress. Has any young player really ever done that on a marginal team? His comments on Cates is a perfect reminder of his schitzoid mentality: "Sucked in the first period, had some good shifts after that"

    The game plan is to win 1-0 and make Tortorella look good while offensive shrivels up over time. But then he keeps turning half the roster over every year and nobody keeps track.
