Wow you hit the nail on the head!

Time to get rid of some of these. Choker Canadian players….team needs a better mix of international talent….

​@@garyash2899Dude, it's the first season of a rebuild. Relax.

@@MrBeenus I get it…we are still witnessing a choke job……can’t handle the pressure…..Torts knows it also.

15? Been feeling this way as a fan since 1980.

Agreed

He isn't right for the flyers. He's not cut to coach in this league anymore. It's not the same when he was with tampa in 04.

Torts is the Flyers. Couldn't have a better coach for this rebuild.

well, thats way more than 1/2 the team. as they say, if you owe the bank some money the bank owns you. if you owe the bank a ton you own the bank. advantage soft philly players. there are so many of them that torts would tank the team to last place next year. some like couturier and atkinson are boat anchors around his neck.

As a Canadian I love your guys’ passion for your hockey team . Philly seems like a top 3 American nhl fanbase . This is coming from someone who’s never been anywhere near Philadelphia, but can sense the passion through various forms of media and the few ppl from I’ve spoken to who are from there ( exclusively while in Las Vegas , haha )

@@jordancarlin9687100%. flyers fans are a different breed coming from one myself lol. there is nothing like playoff hockey at wells fargo center (praying we make them this year)

Can say the same about Torts

the whole team went into battery saving mode

yep. tortorella hates him. how can the rebuild proceed with farabee and frost and drysdale and torts? farabee has been so bad in feb and march that he may as well be cam atkinson. tortorella is finished. he will be fired very soon.

@@JoeAnton-rl4dslol no, he’s got 2 more years and then he’ll be in management.

@@JoeAnton-rl4dsno chance of that happening. At all.

Sullivan is that soft modern coaching that’s why pens are soft

That's why being in a playoff race is so important for this team. It's giving the team experience while also finding out who is in it for the long haul.

If you listen really closely its Coots who is one of those guys who just doesnt have it in him. Curious who else makes that list.

@@carlhammill5774 well he also got his shoulder destroyed in the first period and didn’t come back.

well i guess his comeback would be "so are you", meaning torts and his fanbois.

@@timothyboyle1908 my guess is that short list is Zamula, Frost & Coots?

@@carlhammill5774 and that joke called farabee isn't on that list? dude's a zero. disappeared totally last 2 months. dumb shit coach says "tired".

While I agree with the focus on next season sentiment, I do think that a this post season will do the team a lot of good.

Mathew’s and Marner would have him fired after the first day those little whiners

@@Swir1777 I don’t know about Matthews but Marner sure would

no. he had a love affair with ersson and now its over. dude looks worse than sandstrom.

Legend in yours and his Mind.

@@JoeAnton-rl4dsyour acting like had someone else he could go to. What you want him to do? This team shouldnt even be fighting for a playoff spot right now they should be at the bottom of the league.

​@@JoeAnton-rl4dsAnother shitty take from an uneducated fool who knows nothing.

Mental weakness

We're finding out who is here for the long haul

another russian space cadet. flyers haven't learned after the other ivan....proporov. gurianov is a joke and if fedotov isn't tretiak right now, torts will go totally insane.

You know what I think something was wrong with him after he got hit with the puck. He flubbed every pass and shot after that. I will say several other players had a tough time with the puck too. It means you're playing tense.

@@scottarmen9097 Good point about Zamula. And he's a rookie anyway we should expect mistakes. He whiffed on a few simple passes...definitely wasn't "right" after taking that puck in the chops.

People forget those games real quick. Torts got 5 points out of that trio.

These shitty teams are almost harder mentally

Morgan Frost is on and off. Torts hates him as well.

This team ain't the Celtics

At least Drysdale made a good return and Fedotov had a great debut.

No chance at making the playoffs

what did john "iron fist" tortorella do after the chicago game? gave them the day off cause they are "tired" inserted jamie "please skate around me and score" drysdale, goon with 1 goal, and cam "lost in space" atkinson.

@@JoeAnton-rl4dsEvery team is tired at this point of the season. Extra practices are not of any use now.

​@@JoeAnton-rl4dsYou are just full of god awful takes huh? Go root for NY you bum.

*they

So drysdale and zamula and farabee and brink wont be back next year? roflmao. who is going to replace them?

Time will tell@@JoeAnton-rl4ds

​​@@JoeAnton-rl4dsHe's saying guys like Farabee, Couts, Frost, etc. Guys who probably won't get much better. Farabee will probably until they can find a replacement.

Flyers weren’t supposed to be here

@BobBobby-hd9om Weak excuse. After 70+ games they WERE here, and now are choking it away.

That's easy to say from the couch

He is scared of him, not a good thing! Torts normally has a 2.5-year shelf life. Frost Brink Sanny York Coots and Farbee dont care for him. Trust me! He won't be there in year 4 !!

Ha,Ha your Delusional thinking Torts will win another Cup after the last one 20 years ago. It's always the players fault, but never him.

@@johnrwalker53Different sport, but what about Andy Reid? He choked and didn’t learn from mistakes for years as the Eagles coach before getting 3 Super Bowl rings as KCs coach. Some people learn shit as they get older and more experienced. Kinda wish Reid would’ve learned while he was still Philly’s coach, but still.

@@DragonDonut64 Comparing Torts to Reid,sorry,is Ridiculous.Most Eagles fans know the Eagles Blew it not keeping Reid.

They got no chance at the playoffs

He’d be 3x the player coots is right now

Might as well give it a shot

for his own firing? Danny B has to be fired very soon. he traded away walker and brought in the gawd awful johnson. he has a certified lunatic for a head coach and a pp coach who never made it as a goon. incompetent.

@@JoeAnton-rl4ds??????

​@@JoeAnton-rl4dsclearly a second account for @hungrylion8703. You're still a lunatic.

No doubt, the sabres will destroy these losers.

OK…we’ll get right on that.

Coots played three minutes today before he got injured and the team only got worse in the second period.

@@C3lloman the play coots got hurt on it was his fault they scored. Just slapping the puck in the middle of the ice hoping someone was there. Coots is cooked

That’s why they were projected to be a bottom 7 team yet they’re looking at the playoffs. Torts willed them there.

@@jeffreydean5112 they are 10 points different from last year…5 wins with a crew that’s a year older. Stop with the “will”……he will throw players under the bus and will cost the locker room as he has done everywhere he has been. They are a sub .500 team and exactly who we thought they were!

@@jeffreydean5112 20 years since “the professor” has won anything in the league

@@user-rf5vp4uc2e the penguins are in second to last place and the flyers are close to being a lock for the playoffs, count ur blessings lmao

@@KT22672 penguins sat around and made no moves because if they traded Crosby the fan base would shrink to 6400 a night. Watch when he hangs em up inside 2 years they will be talking moving.

he blew his wad on ersson and now he's got a new toy to play with fedotov. torts has never been anything but a coat tail rider of legend goaltenders. without them hes a nobody.

Name me a good Goaltender and I Will you name a good coach

Wrong

Yep. He’s a loser.

Exactly ventilator, never his fault.

john, what kind of coach embarrasses his entire team with inflammatory comments when that 1 point is so huge and it won't take many more points for the Flyers to make the playoffs. Nobody sane goes off hinge in this situation except a madman. This dumbshit coach could toss the entire season with those kind of comments. He says the team is soft but who is responsible for bringing in soft players like Drysdale, gurianov, atkinson? Tortorella.

Pull your head out of your ass and watch that 2nd period again. Torts is 100% right on the money.

@@JoeAnton-rl4ds Joe you nailed it.He should be apologizing to the players for throwing them Under The Bus like that!!

@JoeAnton-rl4: You are 100% wrong. Torts didn't bring any of those players in that you mentioned. Briere did. Drysdale will get better. Atkinson seems cooked now, but he did have a really good career. Gurionove is and unknown, but we relly didn't give up anything to get him. Allison wasn't going to play for the Flyers. Tortartella, knowing his team is this close to making the playoffs, is trying to light a fire under this team SO THEY DO MAKE THE PLAYOFFS. Its not a Coach's job to make his players like him. Its his job to get the best out of them. Sometimes it takes a kick-in-the-ass to do that. Tortarella did not call out a specific player, as he wants the whole team to play better. True players who have guts and will and fire and pride will respond to the challenge. Softies won't. I'm just hoping that doesnt leave us with 4 lines full of Cates and Deslaurier and Hathaway. Don't get me wrong, those guys are fine for a 4th or 3rd line, but your first 2 lines need skell players who also have fire and pride and guts. We're gonna find out who has it nad who doesn't. The gauntlet has been laid. Lets see who picks it up.

It's not Tortorella's fault that the other goalie became unavailable due to criminal charges and that the team didn't have a third goalie who could play at NHL level.

Just another Torts-hater. Yawn. This coach got 5 out of 6 points just recently against the trio BOS, TOR, CAR. With this AHL team.

You're so clearly clueless. Torts didn't want to make Coots the captain. He didn't want a captain at all this season. He didn't ok the Drysdale trade. That was a necessity because of Gauthier crisis and was handled by Briere and Jones because they had to. He has relied on Ersson because he didn't have a choice because Hart is facing charges and Peterson and Sandstrom were horrible. I guess you could have done better though. Keep blaming Torts in your fantasy world. He took a bunch of kids and sub par vets to the brink of the playoffs. 😂

@@RedRoverTW Exactly. These Torts-haters are ridiculous

@@RedRoverTW Agree with everything you said. Drysdale will get better with a Torts camp under him.

drysdale was our best player out there tonight. Watch the game

@@Thecount2737 he was on for 2 goals against. looked like an ahl d man both times. he is the softest player on the team by a wide margin.

@@JoeAnton-rl4dswhile I disagree with some of what you said, and I like the way drysdale can move the puck, he gives up a lot in the neutral zone he did it against phoenix too

At least Drysdale gets the puck on the net unlike other players missing by 2ft.

​​@@llegedlythat was the worst trade ever, shouldve kept Walker, its been downhill since he left.

you are too soft for hockey
