Playing ourselves out of a Top 5 pick

  1. This is the flyers way, same people that say they hate tanking will rant next week about how good demidov is and how we need to find players like him to play with Michikov, and the cycle will continue.

  2. Knew this was coming as soon as they fired Torts. You can try as hard as you like but you will never out run Flyera, it will always show up.

  3. I don’t get this sentiment. The “tank” didn’t start 5 games ago. It started Oct 11. It is what it is now.

  4. You can’t tell players not to win. If we truly wanted to tank like blackhawks we would have traded Tippet, TK, Risto, Seeler. Ontop of Farabee, Frost, Kuzemenko, Provy, Walker

    Flyers don’t see the point of stripping it to the studs. They are clear they are rebuilding. And can find the talent.

  5. My only comfort is that I think the Flyers would take Desnoyers at 3, 4, 5, or 6. So if we take him at 6… at least that’s closer to where I rank him.

  6. Based on everything I’ve read and heard they want to start making some moves already this upcoming offseason to make the team better in anticipation to be big time players for 2026 UFA’s. If they end up with pick 7 or 8 and then start to make moves to get better, thus getting an even lower pick in 2026, it’s hard to see a path to make this team contenders. A top 5 pick here and potentially a Frondell/Hagens could really provide a big boost to this teams road to be competitive.

    Guess we have to rely on lottery luck or the unthinkable which is a 1C magically being available in a trade. Doesn’t feel all that good.

  7. The players just have to play. Boston loses to Chicago. I mean really. The rangers just shit the bed the other night. The flyers didn’t win that game as much as the rangers just sucked. Why Lavi started Quick I have no idea.

  8. I really wish we were playing worse so we could end up with a slam-dunk player in the top 5 like Nolan Patrick and Cutter Gauthier. We better end up with a running mate for those two legends. I’m sick to my stomach thinking we might have to settle for another seventh overall pick, one bum like Michkov is enough

  9. Yeeeeah. Flyers fandom is a master class in pain and suffering. At least they significantly fucked the Rangers chances of making the playoffs. Silver lining.

  10. The thing is, the players don’t give a fuck about tanking. They have pride in themselves. They play to win. They are playing for their jobs too.

  11. Yeah I don’t care anymore. I’m gonna walk away from the team for a bit. Haven’t made the playoffs in five years and even with the regime change, there is no change in philosophy. Rah-rah for the momentum cup. Surely THIS time it’ll have an impact on next season.

  12. It a lot less painful this year when I started betting on them to win games at the end of the season 😂 it’s a win-win either way
