The more I see people discuss the Flyers and their offseason, the more I feel like I am much lower on them than most going into the season
This was a team that was below Toronto and Seattle in the standings 56 games into the 82-game season

Hearing that trade talks have escalated on Larkin. Which doesn't mean it necessarily leads to a trade imminently but things have escalated. Things can still go a few different directions at the moment.

“Not about points” is pretty rich coming from someone on a team that has scored an embarrassing 1.93 goals per game to in 15 games.
Locker room divided in year 2 under Tocchet once again.
Whomever in the front office pushed for the Tocchet hire should be shown the door with him
"You play for the guy next to you. That's what Flyers hockey is all about."

Flyers Head Cocah Rick Tocchet last night addressing Nick Seeler's "me, me, me" comments:
"You know there's times when you should change, get your buddy on the ice when he's fresh, instead of trying for one more last rush and then changing on the way back. Things like that are I think what Nick's talking about me me, you can't do that sort of stuff."
"Accountability starts from me. Going to have to take some ice time from that. Leadership is going to have to do a little bit of that too, so I think it's
important that doesn't creep in your room 100% the me-me-I attitude."
Yikes...I feel like we all know who Tocchet is talking about here, but brutal stuff

This quote. The captain (Coots) calling them soft. Tocchet agreeing.
Is this telenovela getting picked up by Univision or what?
Meanwhile, even though they can't score overall, Zegras still has 13 in 15 and Michkov has seven goals in as many games.
#Flyers defenseman Nick Seeler after the loss:
"It’s just focus levels & compete levels and playing for the crest. That’s what it’s all about. It’s not about getting points. It’s not about me, me, me. It’s about the team & playing for each other & sacrificing for each other."

Most prophets were cast off in their day. Turns out us online "crazy" fans were correct. The botched rebuild, the coaching hire, the leadership core, the vision, the lack of ballsy trades... all of it. Danny holding onto perceived value is rich now that it aged like spoiled milk

I am over Nick Seeler. Move him out. You were a cool story a couple years ago. You suck now.
See ya!

Damn Michkov. If you took him off the ice, the Flyers would've... still lost by multiple goals.
Too many guys with egos who believe they're supposed to be leaders or drivers or creators.
Too many guys who think it's their team, who resent the most talented player on the team for believing he's the most talented player on the team and wanting to use that talent to help.
Derek Dunn retweeted
They don’t have actual veterans. It’s all guys in their prime or just out of it.
Coots at 33/34 isn’t the same as Iginla or Tanguay helping along w/ Landeskog
The gap isn’t large enough in “vets” to rookies. Ironically what they actually need is a guy at the end of his career
Derek Dunn retweeted
The Flyers vets throwing shade at the younger players (Michkov, Zegras, etc.) is absolutely hilarious, especially when you look at the stat sheet and realize who's actually been leading this team
The Flyers are 3-8-4, and their top 5 scorers are all under 25 years of age
You need to score points/goals to win games, but apparently they're not "playing for the crest" sure ☠️
Derek Dunn retweeted
"Lack of physicality" "Playing soft"
Martone elbow to face: no response
Foerster's head bashed into ice: no response
Barkey hit while down on the ice: no response
Michkov slammed onto the ice: no response
Solution: Gonna start benching players that take long shifts
Derek Dunn retweeted
imagine being on the worst team in hockey right now and getting mad at the players on your team actually scoring goals and trying to win
Derek Dunn retweeted
Matthew Tkachuk is the fastest player in #FlaPanthers history to reach 200 assists, hitting the mark in 255 games.
Keith Yandle held the previous record at 369 games.
It's not even as if I can't relate this to something he does.
He's a 40 point player getting top-6 minutes and he trashes his team harder than a random account on this app every time you give him a microphone after a loss.
Why wouldn't that contribute to a toxic environment?
Since Couturier was named captain 2/14/24:
Y1: Flyers collapse down the stretch and miss the playoffs.
Y2: Team unintentionally tanks while he drops a 45P season in over 17 minutes.
Y3: Team unintentionally tanks until a miracle run.
Y4: team unintentionally tanks.
