The Philadelphia Flyers were not supposed to be here. They came into the season as a team that was rebuilding and have exceeded expectations in a playoff chase. But now, winless in their last seven games, the postseason berth seems all but unlikely.
JP, Charlie, and Kelly discuss if the collapse or exceeding expectations as a rebuilding team will be remembered most about their season.

Kelly’s contribution to this broadcast “It sucks”. Wow what an asset. Am I the only one who thinks she doesn’t belong here? Please speak up people? Let me know on here?
How about having a rotating Flyers veteran player come on give their experience and recommendations? It would be so much more entertaining and informative.
Rebuild And I knew this would happen no I'm not a psychic. I can see by having to play comeback and catch up Hockey all year. It's exhausting. Tort's pushed them knowing this would happen. Tort's now is bashing his players saying some guys aren't cut out for this. These are the same guys that brought him here. Tort's burnt them out. And now sits on his high horse and complains. People Tort's is the problem he has a History of doing this stupid crap. He ruins carriers and Teams. History is repeating itself. Fix it Find the right Coach for this Team Danny Briere.
Please have Steph Driver on. She blocked me on Twitter when she had her wild public meltdown on the Ivan Provorov fiasco. She is priceless
What will be mentioned most often will be amongst the Flyers fans from how I see the responses will be: Fire Torts-trade away older players for draft picks-how long until Michkov arrives.
I like Coach Tortorella, and if he may have lost "the room" (which I doubt), some of the players are probably ready to change their address to revive their careers (Atkinson-Couturier), however their contracts are why the Flyers will be stuck with them during the senior time of their careers.
The "Hart" issue needs to be finalised, thus ending the Flyers career for the once good goaltender. The Flyers will need to assess the goaltenders within their organisation and promote one of them to be their franchise goalie.
The Flyers will need to hire a specialist within the coaching staff who will address the non-existent PP.
Even speaking of that special team duty is an indication of the main problem about the current roster on this team. They are made up of a lot of hard-working players on both sides of the rink, but there are no true elite players amongst the roster.
There are players who are beloved by the Flyers faithful (many of whom have returned this season, after the team may have finally become competitive), but few are All-Star worthy.
Flyers fans always see their favourite players as being worthy of multiple draft picks in trades, but in all reality many are worth 3rd rounders at best. Even the players with nicknames.
Under Coach Tortorella this season the team has looked competitive through most of the season. Now that it's crunch time the defence is completely gassed, and the goaltending is also gassed. The offensive side of the team is brutally bad. They do have a group of promising players for the future, but the elder players are finished. They're like a zippo lighter without a flint that's been stuck in the Delaware river mud for a decade.
The Flyers are largely a team built to sell tickets, but definitely NOT for playoff hockey. At the end of the season, teams start playing playoff hockey. Players start picking up their games to angle for new contracts. Bottom 8 talent teams lose. Not rocket science.
I’ve watched very little hockey over the last three years. I watched a bunch this year. Hope is back. I’m excited for the future. Team hit a wall, if they don’t get in, a bummer but the future looks very promising (which nobody was saying a year and a half ago). Trust the ProGress.
I don’t care if they make playoffs or not , they weren’t supposed to be in this position , fans have to chill , there so fickle and dwell on the negatives, get a life
What I will remember most is who they were able to draft due to collapse. Big gap in talent still a thing when compared to playoff teams.
I haven’t enjoyed a Flyers season as much as this one in years. I will not let the ending ruin that for me. It was amazing achievement especially considering the loss of Carter Hart, which in the end, really was the deciding factor. They played like a team, they played hard, I’m proud of everyone of the guys and the coaches. Don’t overanalyze this.
Long time Flyers fan here…. Yes I’m pissed off but Columbus was the icing on the cake. Is it Torts losing the room after the Coots situation?
