We’re gonna have the worst pp 3 years in a row……… trying to break the franchise low if it keeps up. Honestly I mute the tv and go on my phone when we are on the pp . Season is over guys sadly. Only feel bad for a few guys…. We are ending the season the same way Edmonton started when it comes to pk and goaltending. Just annoying knowing even without hart we would have made it, we would have made it but losing walker and coots playing so badly was just too much. At least Edmonton was scoring. Sucks man but I won’t even watch another game
This sucks.
Not over yet remember what Texas rangers did when they went on a very bad slump did looks like they not even make playoffs don’t give up until we miss playoffs Texas ranger go on win it all strangers things have happen I seem sports teams go on very bad slump still win the champion before I seem it before it not over yet
We can get hot in playoffs I know how it is don’t let this fool you we can get hot stddenly I seem it before that what’s happen to Texas ranger they went on a very bad slump then went 4 16 slump really bad we seem slumps like this before still go on playoffs runs win it all too
They have seemed to lost confidence after going thru the gauntlet and now teams are stepping it up in these last few weeks to get a spot. It’s pressure and instead of focusing on winning they seem to be playing not to lose or worrying about losing instead of making a plan to win.
Its over. At this point is better to lose all games than play more games in the post season.
This is something deeper u dont fall apart like this against the shit teams of the league. There gonna lose 11 str to end season. Torts has to go hes handled all this stuff so poorly. He jerks players around but wont fire Thompson. They have scored 4 goals only 4 times in past 20 and 2 were OT losses
Farabee has been so disappointing the last 20 games. He can shoot the puck and 100% of the time, he chooses to pass into someone's skates… The team has obviously ran out gas in torts system. I already cant wait for next year lol
Losing 7 (or more) in a row to close out the season and seeing a playoff spot slip away against beatable opponents. Have the players quit on Torts?
It was an amazingly impressively bad game. 0/7 against many of the worst teams in the league. Wow. Just wow. Imagine working that hard just to piss away everything so embarrassingly like this.
Why is cam akison playing he is washed up
Stalll, Johnson , nick shouod not be playing
As a goalie I feel for Sam
If wants to be a starter well put your big boy pads on play the game
He stinks right now
The Flyers are just following in the Eagles footsteps.
Losing Hart fu*ked everything up…the mojo, the vibe, the energy…whatever you want to call it but that’s how I feel.
The team quit, and thats on the coach.
Briere didn't hire Torts and he should definitely look at his coach.
Torts whole act is just exhausting.
Best thing to do is lose out and get the best pick as possible.
Another season of spinning the wheels.
I've said it before, we have NO top line talent. The guys that do score at times continue ro miss the net or shoot in the goalies chest. Back to low percentage cross ice passes that are leading to turnovers. Defense can't clear in front of net and goalies hung out to dry. Players that lead team in scoring disappeared. I don't mind Torts, but feel we need coaching changes. We only have a handful of players that should be back next season. It's back to being hard to watch this team again, feel like that light at end of tunnel has dimmed substantially. Really hope these last couple weeks have opened Danny's eyes.
I DON'T HAVE MUCH TO SAY VERY SAD BUT BEEN A FAN FOR A LONG TIME SINCE BROAD ST DAYS A LOT OF MISSED SHOTS IN BOTH GAMES ALMOST LIKE THEY ARE MISSING ON PURPOSE BUT I AM SURE THIS IS NOT THE CASE 3 THINGS THAT MAY HAVE LED TO THIS 1 LOSING HART 2 NAMING A CAPTAIN 3 SITTING THE CAPTAIN HAVE A GREAT DAY ENJOY TOMORROW'S EVENT.
No Hart…no heart. What I fear is all the positives from most the season are erased from this collapse , and we go back to the drawing board. I do feel there is more subtraction needed with both players and some of the coaching staff.
This team wont get another point this season.
Flyers have been floundering since the Walker trade. Getting essentially 2 first round picks for Provorov was completely worth it though. Hopefully they can turn those picks into a couple of players. Flyers are done. I'd rather see them in the draft lottery than getting swept in the first round anyway. They are exactly what we thought they were at the start of the year a rebuilding team not good enough to be in the top 16 teams. Better days are ahead.
Get rid of Jim Jackson. He is a jinx to this team. Too much negativity against the flyers during broadcast. And he will boost about plays from other teams during play.
crazy how they just threw away this playoff shot.
Bad time for them to have their annual 10 game losing streak.
This team during this stretch has become something that they haven’t been since before Torts: they are unwatchable…
The team would be better off with gritty as their coach. Torts is a joke
i feel like players are scared to shoot….you have to shoot the puck when the goalie is least expecting it…..that's always been the secret to championship teams…..just like the patrick kane goal when the blackhawks beat the flyers in the stanley cup. i can always predict when the flyers are going to shoot…also sometimes their windup is slow…what happened to the quick release shots..
they may be outshooting teams….but shots don't matter if the goalie is ready for them….they need to shoot when the goalie is least expecting it…..and the teammates have to be ready to pick up that rebound..
another thing….i thought the coach was out of line at that press conference after that islanders loss…..they battled back and got to overtime they should have got credit from their coach for that not trashed…islanders needed that win too so we couldn't have expected that game to be handed to us….
i think the coach is kind of hard on the players. these are different times….there was a game that bobby brink scored in and got chewed out and benched for the remainder of that same game… i thought that was ridiculous watching him chew out bobby brink like that….not called for, not with these newer players….
Jason – this team has absolutely quit on the coach! All the positives they built up earlier in the season have been lost with the benching of #14 and the balls comments. Tort’s BS has run its course. Best best now is lose out, hope you win the lottery to move up top 4 or do pick. Please don’t tell fans that they are gassed. I watched them dominate Boston and Florida two weeks ago. They haven’t just lost their energy in a two week period. They’ve lost their reason to play for this coach!
I think that the lack of depth with this team has been exposed with the losses of Hart and Walker. They really don’t yet have a reliable third defensive pairing. Prior to the Walker trade, they were able to excel by mostly using two rock solid top defensive pairings. It also became clear that once Hart left, Ersson just wasn’t ready for the grind of a full NHL season as the main man. Hopefully with time, the Ersson Fedotov duo can be as dominant as the Hart Ersson tandem. But the biggest source of improvement needs to be from the PP. They’re going nowhere next season with another league worst PP.
My take is Torts lost the room by sitting Couts. Couts didn’t hold back when he said he didn’t like the way some things have been handled here lately. Why is everyone pretending that wasn’t said. 😂😂😂fuck torts. Prolly the reason Cutter stayed away too
Flyers were suppose to be shit this year be happy with what they've accomplished this season and the step forward this team took compared to last year.
