    Didn’t someone in the pre game or game thread say something about wanting Lycksell and Ginning to get their first career goals? Seems like the monkey paw curled.

  2. zach2thefuture

    It all went to shit when the Carter Hart stuff happened. That must have been such a weird experience and gut punch for the team, not to mention the impact in net.

  3. Roll-Me-Through

    Aaaaand this hoagie once again belongs to us gluttons for punishment

  4. FlyersLaForest

    Tij Iginla would be a fun prospect to grab. I also like Henry Mews a lot with our Florida pick if he’s there

  6. Perryplat199

    Ok. So 2 down. 1/4 w. Phillies won. I think the sixers looking good but the union are losing. So ya….

  7. accountname789

    Every year this franchise finds a way for me to hate it in a manner that is unique and distinct from the years prior. That being said, anyone saying “Fire Torts” is a goddam moron. He should be in the running for the Jack Adams for how far he’s brought this team this year.

  8. No-Property-8470

    These full team losses at crunch time are hard to watch. No one wants to finish, goalies don’t make the saves, defense breaks down.. just everything that you don’t want to see. 

    Fuck. 

  9. Steinburger_

    I’ll hand it to the Flyers waiting until the very end of the season to collapse after being in a playoff spot all year is some real sicko shit.

  10. SoberDeegs

    I guess it’s time for the flyers annual 10 game losing streak? could not have come at a worse time.

  13. AppearanceKey2170

    at least provorov didn’t get any points

  15. 420BlzItRocko

    As I said in the game thread, I fully expect to find out a week after the season ends that every player on the team has been playing through various injury’s and ailments. It’s really the only explanation to collapsing this hard.

  16. No-Property-8470

    Said it last night.. I’ll say it tonight. We need a bridge goalie. Tell me I’m wrong when none of our goalies are close to breaking 90% save percentage. 

    Not saying Sam isn’t the guy, I want him to be. Just needs a veteran to get him there. 

  17. FlyersLaForest

    Honest question to all here, if Hart is starter, and never leaves the team, where are we right now? Clinched the 3rd spot?

  21. flash2wave-

    Welp. At least this team is showing to younger fans what perpetual Philly fandom is when we say “classic Philly”

  23. FlyersLaForest

    Very happy for Olle. It was a goal that at the time, had big game indications, and he’s been working SO hard

  24. Magoatt

    Okay so good news, we’re out of the running for 3rd in the conference, the bad: We’re still in the running for WC2.

  25. HaverOfBadOpinions

    Fun fact: the Flyers haven’t beaten a Metro Division team since December 19. Three of their final 4 games are against division opponents.

    They have a legitimate chance to fall into the top 11 of the draft, which means winning the lottery (haha) moves them all the way to #1. They currently sit 15th in the draft with 6 teams within 6 points, and all have games in hand.

  26. Magoatt

    Me week ago: I can’t wait for playoff hockey.

    Me now: *Depression*

  27. papaieleele

    At this point, what do the players get out of suffering a first round sweep?

    if they win out to get in, that’s probably worth something. But if they luck into a WC spot without turning this mess around, I’d rather just play the lottery.

  29. TwoForHawat

    I genuinely feel terrible for the guys on this roster. The general fan base is going to eviscerate them if they fall out of the playoffs, because those chuds will refuse to acknowledge that the team spent all season being 15 standings points better than they should’ve been.

    This is not a Cup winning roster by any means, but what they did this year was impressive, playoffs or not. And the fact that they ran out of gas is going to give fuel to assholes to act like this was a failure instead of a really impressive feat. And I guarantee our stupid sports talk media folks will find a way to kiss Tortorella’s feet for what he tried to do with this team while giving zero credit to the players who magically made it work for 75% of the season.

    With a couple exceptions, I can’t say a bad thing about the guys on this roster. They all proved something to me this year. It’s a shame that it won’t be viewed that way if they ultimately fall short of the playoffs.

  30. spkris1

    Well I’ll see you guys next season I’m going to take my summer depression sleep until then

  31. FxStryker

    We need a goalie. Plain and simple.

    We’ve been under .500 on points since the POS took his leave.

  32. surviveseven

    Lol Olle and Ginning score. We never win games when our 3rd and 4th choice players score.

  33. Patient_Jicama_4217

    We need to trade some players and focus on truly building around Michkov. 

    Getting all this way to collapse was pointless we need to get more star power

  34. Magoatt

    I’m going to say this if we drunkenly stumble into a playoff match against the top seed in the conference it’s going to be a more one-sided blood bath than a one-sided argument in a MW2 lobby. Just ask Cole Hollywood how that went.

  35. qwopcircles

    You know, I didn’t even watch the game and somehow I knew they would lose.

  36. pwnstick

    Man this team has completely shit all over the bed

  37. PwillyAlldilly

    Still waiting for Drysdale to impress me 🥲

  38. Perryplat199

    Annnnnnd we’re the only Philadelphia team who lost today…..sigh :/

  39. Magoatt

    I keep getting told all of the suffering and shitty seasons will be worth it, I fucking hope they’re right.

  41. EmoGothPunk

    Well, if you’re going to shit the bed on the final stretch to attempt to make the playoffs, give the kids something.

    Glad Lycksell and Ginning got their first goals out of the way, and can just focus on their play. Plus, we knew Olle had it coming around the corner with how he was shooting last night.

  43. das4111

    [kelce voice] IT’S THE WHOLE TEEEEEEEAMMMMMMMM

    ​

    …..at least we know danny and jonesy are seeing what we’re all seeing…right?

  44. PM_ME_DIRTY_DANGLES

    “I think it’s going to be a different level of pain, hopefully, next year, because I think there’s levels and then you start really getting to the really good part of the process of seeing what it’s going to look like,”

    -John Tortorella 3/28/2023

    He’s right. Last year was painful because the team flat out sucked. Sucked balls, taint, and asshole. This year the team gelled and took advantage of a weak division and far exceeded expectations. But just like a dog chasing a car, the team had no idea what to do if it actually succeeded in its goal (and let’s be honest – is also now exhausted and completely out of gas) and promptly fell apart. That’s a different kind of pain. I hate to sound like a zombie TTP sixers fan, but this is an important growing pain for this organization and we need to trust that Jonesy, Danny B, and Torts actually have a plan for when this team is ready to catch its proverbial car.

    Also, fuck Ohio.

  46. Empty-Preparation757

    Bottom line
    The organization was gifted Michov and with that they were gifted an obvious rebuild timeline to follow
    Build the team with idea of having it ready to take off when michov turns 23/24. However they refuse to do that.  They continue to have no semblance of an intelligent long range plan.
    I mean a 10 year old could understand that you prepare this team for michov’prime but the organization refuses and the fan base thinks its wonderful management

  47. Local-Cartographer52

    At this point lose out get a top ten pick after looking legitimately decent all year. Goalies gassed and the boys cant buy a goal.
