  1. I like Torts. But they aint getting anywhere with him. Nobody wants to come to philly to play for torts. And they dont have the in house talent to get anywhere. Michkov brought some hope. But he fell off quick. And will probably bail soon as he gets a chance. Goaltending is horrendous. And torts aside, good luck finding a goalie whos going bail them out enough to even sniff the playoffs. Idk what they're going to do to even begin to be relevant any time soon. Sad time to be a flyers fan.

  2. Admiral Tortorella traded Goofball Kevin Hayes for The Greatest Team Cancer ever encountered in Michigan "HotDog" Michkov.

    Case in point:

    Their current #1 Goaltender,

    1. Quit the AHL
    2. No show for dev camp
    3. No show for training camp
    4. Laugh and ignore coach and gm

    Does that look like A Rules Based Order or Animal Farm?

  3. Lame duck coach with 1 year left and half this season over

    Either hilferty gives him an extension immediately or else fires him and gives the job to John LeClair to turn Tippet into a 50 goal power forward instead of this dumbbell who falls over the ice

  4. My routine torts hate, awful moves but people respect him because he used to be a good coach. I have no stake in how the flyers play as a bruins fan but this guy is all bark no bite. Please let me know any arguemnt why you feel different

  5. Drysdale is a bust…i cant watch this guy anymore. He has lots of speed yes…but he has no clue how to play the game….Goaltending is subpar to say the least…Ers has been downright awful since his return…The other goalies are AHL Level…Until they rectify that situation…The losses will pile up.

  6. All you critical former NHL players stating how bad things are, how such and such sucks. How its time to move this guy or that guy. I hope your bosses arent as fickle about your job performance as you are of our team. Go Flyers!

  7. Why doesn’t anyone just call Torts out and say, “Johnny boy, you are coaching this team like the Titanic. We are taking on water and we have about 1 month before we are mathematically done. What do you have to say for yourself?”

  8. Drysdales skating is meaningless. He can't leverage it into anything useful. Lots of referees can skate like Drysdale. His stick skills are nothing special. His shot is average. He can protect the wall better than Andrae and he doesn't physically owned quite as easily.

    He wasn't much of a goal scorer in junior and the comparison with dan Boyle looks not valid.

    He doesn't look comfortable with any d man

    His trade value is negative.

    I don't think he would do well in the ahl either.

    I think the Flyers are forced to play him until either a miracle happens or he pukes so bad he's forced into retirement
