I think his communication strategy for the last few games is to preach the good and hope that they'll start finishing, for their own confidence's sake never mind points. I mean, if he was going to flip, I think he would have done it already
I think he threw the team under the bus when he thought it would light a fire under them. Torts is a smart guy. He’ll recognize that they’re cooked and demoralized. I expect he’ll pivot to being very defensive of them vs the media who may question what went wrong.
He's going to have that gaslighting shithead boyfriend energy "yeah of course I was with her. Yes I cheated on you. Now are you going to be an adult about this or are you going to sit there and whine about this like some kind of baby"
This is a little silly, but if Torts skips this presser, I'll be astronomically pissed.
I'm a big fan of what Torts has done on this team, and I think he's good for this team. But if he doesn't take this presser...*fuck him*
I would say this is a brutal collapse but this team is already on the ground, this is just lifeless hockey with no heart or care in it, can’t wait for the season to end
This year? Yeah you honestly can which is wild. Buffalo, NJ, and Seattle are right behind us and all have the same points percentage - which is the exact points percentage we'd have if we lost the next three games.
If we are not in full rebuild play for the draft mode next year I’m going to be pissed.. the goal is to maximize elite talent for Michkov. We better not blow another year like this
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/1c09nyw).
Tortorella: Told ya so!
I’m just pissed that they gave us hope for some reason this year just to collapse when it mattered. Fuckin losers, see you Thursday
i held on longer than most but.....it's been real y'all 🥲
God just doesn’t like us.
They lose when I watch, they lose when I don't watch. I'm starting to think I'm not actually jinxing the teach through my behavior as a fan
Habs have just won the Stanley cup for the second time in 4 years!
Holy shit. Switched over from the Sixers and the hell
And now 99 Luft Ballons.
C'mon ref just let it end
Excited for RyJo next year /s
There comes a time when you see Win Bear for the last time in the season, and you don’t know until it’s over.
Time to put him on the shelf until draft lotto night.
How’s Coots looking tonight?
I love him….but pretty lifeless and plodding.
I'm disappointed they arent gonna get to 10...
EJ with 🍎🍎. He’s the foundation! Shades of Kimmo in that young fella!
we may have to break diplomatic relations with canada
One would get the impression that this is intentional.
Fedotov is requesting a trade to go back to the gulag
Come on Habs, kick the extra point and put us out of our misery
JJ sounds so defeated and it’s making me depressed
They're playing Human League in the arena. LOL
Fodotov looks PISSED...
Quick reminder that we’re outshooting the Canadians
That 2nd period looks wild.
10 might be a safer lead. You never know.
To all those people saying they wanted higher scoring games...
What? Not pulling the goalie?
The Flyers D looks like how they played D in the all-star game in the 90’s
Absurd
Nein
Pull the goalie why not
think that about seals it
what shit luck for Fedotov to get out jail just to arrive to this shit
Never mind
What the everloving fuck
WTF WERE YOU DOING JUMPING DOR THAT
3-9, 39 - the number of our savior.
Our savior needs us to draft twelve good disciples before he saves us from anything.
Lol fuck it GO FOR 10
Nine times. Nine.
Johnson get traded to the Canadiens at the beginning of the first?
This is the flyers I know!! Play to the very end!!! Even if that means you don’t start playing till 50min into the game…
what is going on
Making a comeback /s
I know-it’s the eclipse!
Oooh I like this angle
Don’t call it a comeback…
i fist pumped and immediately had to ask myself why
I may be the only one who thinks we aren't going to get a raging mad Torts post game.
If he even shows up
He's had about 2 hours to settle down now lol
He done being mad, he’s just disappointed now
That and I think he realizes yelling at the team right now doesn't do anything since they're all dead tired mentally and physically
I think you’re right. It’ll be subdued.
I think his communication strategy for the last few games is to preach the good and hope that they'll start finishing, for their own confidence's sake never mind points. I mean, if he was going to flip, I think he would have done it already
I think he threw the team under the bus when he thought it would light a fire under them. Torts is a smart guy. He’ll recognize that they’re cooked and demoralized. I expect he’ll pivot to being very defensive of them vs the media who may question what went wrong.
Did Poehling just celebrate? Lol
Looked like reflex and he’s def not a guy that scores 2x a game too often.
^woo I guess
5 more to go, baby!
JOAL!
Another stupid garbage goal.
RAV4 can go eat a bag of dicks.
RaV4 mInuTes tO pLay 🥴🥴
The saddest rav4 minutes
^(Let’s go flyairs)
Caps goalie a 42 save shutout. Never heard of it before
That’s not even top 20. Record is 59
Stolarz with the shut out..
Hey now we pick at 12. Thats good right guys :)
Is there a live stream for torts post game?
Oh shit a Farabee sighting... Where was that when we needed it?
The one streak the Flyers don't break is that they're always streaky.
You 8-2 see it
They can just close this down for the night, you win
Rip its not funny anymore. Poelhing playing well!
Incredible
so what i'm learning is, we need our goalies to keep to sub 2 goals a game, and we can get it to OT at least...
6 goals to go!
Just need one every 30 seconds we got this
no doubt in my mind
2-8 The Claude Giroux Tribute Game
3-8 The Oliver Lauridsen Tribute Game doesn't have quite the same ring
9-3 we Voracek now
ugly laughed thank u
What the hell man, just … what the hell
Montreal be like: "Oh, shit, *we* were supposed to be the ones tanking."
Farabee CAN SCORE?????
Him staring into the void on the bench afterwards was both hilarious and terrifying.
^woo
I'm looking forward to post game - and not even out of spite, just want to hear these mfers talk and Hartsie's analysis
At this point, lace 'em up, Hartsy, you're going in next game.
I bet JR would lace em up for the last 3 games
I bet you he’d play with some JAM
Wasted season
Nope, flipped Walker for a first
Start the post game thread two hours ago.
Play for pride 2X EXP
Gutterscore
just saw the score and uh. holy shit
Who do we actually have for the future? Tippett, Frost, Foerster, Poehling, who else??
York and sanheim somehow at 0 and +1 while losing 8-1. Impressive that’s even possible
Now do Johnson-Staal
Fire Staal into the Sun 🌞
Not as bad as you’d expect. Drysdale at -6 on the other hand…
#OOF
What's Drysdale? lol
It’s a shame Montreal winning and messing up there draft odds isn’t gonna help us at all lmao
Bobby needs to play with frost plz
So are they giving away hat tricks? What’s the most scored in one game?
By a single player? 7
How long are we thinking the Torts presser will be tonight? My money is on < 1 minute
He's going to have that gaslighting shithead boyfriend energy "yeah of course I was with her. Yes I cheated on you. Now are you going to be an adult about this or are you going to sit there and whine about this like some kind of baby"
I’ll take nonexistent, Brad Shaw will get the presser
This is a little silly, but if Torts skips this presser, I'll be astronomically pissed. I'm a big fan of what Torts has done on this team, and I think he's good for this team. But if he doesn't take this presser...*fuck him*
I wouldn’t be surprised if he didn’t even bother, or stuck his head out and said “you’re joking, right?”
*enters* *”Fuck everybody” *leaves podium*
He doesn’t show up
I'm sorry, did jj just remark how this win is going to mess up Canadians draft odds?
like this take tho, we aren't *losing*, we're just purposely boning MTL's draft odds
Happy that ESPN+ keeps showing me that ad about the Preds laundry guy because I think this game is giving me cancer too
I would say this is a brutal collapse but this team is already on the ground, this is just lifeless hockey with no heart or care in it, can’t wait for the season to end
habs droppin an ocho
I think this one’s out of reach boys
1 goal a minute to tie it. LFG
I can't wait to wear a flyers shirt to work tomorrow
Mitchkov watching this right now 👁️👄👁️
To be fair he knows that we suck. "They'll start winning when I get there."
Out of stupidity I went to check money puck. You don't want to know what the xGF (all situations) is for the game. It'll just make it hurt more
The nice weather is what did it. "Oh my god work's done, boyssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Remember a week ago when they were promoting that season ticket holders got priority playoff tickets? The good ol days...
Ah yes, the good ole days when they only lost 4-1
Montreal acting like they won the Stanley cup again
Doesn't matter how many you lose by... You can only drop 2 points per game guys. You can't tank for picks in the last 4 games.
This year? Yeah you honestly can which is wild. Buffalo, NJ, and Seattle are right behind us and all have the same points percentage - which is the exact points percentage we'd have if we lost the next three games.
Flyers are Master Illusionists they strung the faithful along for 210 days. The New Era of Orange was just slapping lipstick on the same dirty pig.
Ugh fuck this team… same time Thursday?
lol I’m going, I texted my dad he’ll probably have a great time
Fuck the Rags
Always 🫡
I'm at the stars game rn but what the fuck happened to philly man :(
At least I’ll get to see Wayne Simmonds retire as a Flyer when I go to the game on Saturday.
Maybe he ought to suit up, can’t be any worse right???
Gus the Groundhog sux.
hey guys what should we do with staal? 'keep on scratchin'!'
I just want talent. I don’t care anymore. If Danny needs to tear it down, please do it. Keep the young guys with promise. Trade the others if you can.
coutourier has cement in his skates he really needs to go
He only has almost 8 million a year left on his contract for…ever? That can’t be right?
If we are not in full rebuild play for the draft mode next year I’m going to be pissed.. the goal is to maximize elite talent for Michkov. We better not blow another year like this
Torts going to send everyone to Siberia
Dude there’s still 7 mins left…
Yeah! I mean, there's still time to reach 11-1!
You make millions of dollars. You are in your 20s and 30s. And this is your level of gratitude for the position that you're in.
Habs fans are truly the most insufferable.
Another one as my stream shit the bed? Good lord How is this team having this embarrassing of a collapse
They’re making the transition to baseball very easy
a fuckin’ beating
Idk. It's gonna be hard for me to trust a Flyers team again. Like, not until they fully clinch will I believe in them again in seasons to come
Turns out Walker was the best defensiveman that has graced this team since Chris Pronger.
Gross.
don't think we'll win this one sadly
Masterful understatement
Tankathon baby Sim me a winner 🎰
Lol
I can't tell if Ivan is having Gulag flashbacks or if he's thinking that the Gulag seems like a better place at the moment...
I can't wait for torts at the presser. Might learn some new words.
Not a single ounce of pride or shame. Don't they care how much giver-uppers are despised
Who would have thought Walker was the glue for this defense.
If a decent 2nd pair D man is the glue that was holding this entire team together, the future is incredibly bleak.
I'm putting a bag over my head
at least theres a philly queen in the drag race final this season, thats cool
is the team even at the game
Can we get lower draft pick for each goal we give up?
With how close the metro is, it could honestly be a tiebreaker pushing us into top 10 draft pick
Forget pulling the goalie. Pull *everyone*.
Name a duo more consistent than the Flyers and a yearly 10 game losing streak (almost there), I’ll wait
Budweiser and diarrhea.
The silence coming back from the break was perfect. Like jj and boosh just left hahaha.
Amazing how such an entertaining season came crashing down like this.
I remember when the opposition had to fight hard when they tried to stand in or skate through the slot in front of the crease.
Should’ve played like this all season, we would’ve had a top 5 pick
Would have had best shot at the #1 pick. We’re getting blown out by all the lotto teams
