Thank you philly

Thank you Philly

I don’t want playoffs , I want a cup , u kinda need a number 1 defenseman with elite offense to win one, we haven’t had one since mark Howe , yet the masses show up like playoffs is good enough ,,,,they haven’t made a REAL effort since the last brick was installed on Wells Fargo center , then lindros was kicked to curb and there is NO EFFORT for a cup since 1986,,,,not with my money ,,,your money

@@steve5976 it's better to tank for some decent picks... Trust me I know...

He's the only thing keeping that defensive structure afloat.

It’s horribly ironic that Martin Jones is their backup, because he was arguably hung out more to dry in San Jose, although he’s certainly not blameless

@@UrinatingTree Phillies really deserve a video too at some point too imo, they’ve been just totally directionless for about 3 years after just 5 years of awful.

@@anonymousanonymity2815 The Phillies are pretty simple, their drafting and player development have been atrocious for almost 20 years now. Outside of Hamels and Nola they haven't developed an All Star level talent since the early 2000's and have a giant list of busts and disappointments.

@@hiflyer000 I’d argue Rhys was a really good find but yeah. The thing is sooooo many of their draft decisions aren’t just like meh didn’t work out in the majors, they were, holy shit this guy never made it past A ball. And it was consistent. And they continue under this false belief that somehow the current core will ever sneak into the playoffs, they won’t. The angels have the same set of problems and they got a video.

Amen brother!

I don't believe that either the organization or the fans have the patience for a proper rebuild. If the team isn't winning "right now", the fans start looking for someone to blame, usually the goalie (how long before everyone gives-up on Hart?), and management starts making excuses for the current failures.

Imagine Giroux going to the Pens

@@THE_bchat Oh I've seen the "Hart's a bust" talk already....I was speaking from an idealist perspective, I know it's something we'll never own up to that a rebuild may be necessary. "An aggressive retool" is just trying to steer away from the dreaded word "rebuild" because it still implies "Y'know with the right pieces we can still get back next season."

I liked the sad Rocky music at the end too. That’s pretty much the soundtrack every day in Philadelphia.

As another Flyers fan ... *sobbing quietly* [So ... Go Sixers? Go Union? Hope the Eagles do well in the NFL Draft???]

They've attempted 3 retools this decade: 1. Post 2010 when Carter, Richards, and several others were shipped out 2. Mid 2010's where Hartnell, Coburn, and Schenn were the key pieces were moved out 3. The Chuck Fletcher retool I'd hate for them to attempt a fourth

Worst case scenario we get the second overall pick

Can't wait for you guys to trade that 1st rounder

@Alex Wickert i know werenski missed a good bit of time... jones got hurt for a bit as well

@Alex Wickert seemed like he was for a couple weeks

She did

I was born in 98 so I wouldn’t really know, but was that series loss really that heartbreaking? Detroit without a doubt had the better roster and that was proven when they became a dynasty. All we seemed to have was the LOD, Desjardins, Brind’Amour, old Paul Coffey, and a bunch of meh.

@@philly_sports1558 you got Brice Harper and won't win with him

The Flyers we the heavy favorites that year, after the Wings were swept in the '95 finals from the Devils, then a bone crushing loss to the Aves in the 96' Conference finals, people all thought they were flashy, but didn't have the Grit to finish the finals. Plus the Flyers had the LOD that dominated other teams in the playoffs as well as the regular season. But the Wings were only trailing in the 97' Finals for a length of 2 minutes. Imagine out of 240 minutes of hockey, you are ahead for 2 minutes. Remember it like it was yesterday, good times!

@@philly_sports1558 The Flyers were the sexy pick by all the "experts" because they were big and ... they were big. And they had Lindros. Anyway, everything that went right for the Flyers in the first three rounds went all wrong in the Finals: Hextall and Snow gave up bad goals in every game - The Yzerman goal in Game 1 - The Maltby goal in Game 2 - Shanahan and Lapointe's second goal in Game 3 - The Lidstrom goal in Game 4 A lot of key players were injured or playing hurt The Wings were too fast, and the Flyers couldn't hit what they couldn't catch The Wings practically out-hit the Flyers in every game (see the Konstantinov hit on Hawerchuk) Only three Flyers combined to score all six of their teams' goals - Lindros (1), Brind'Amore (3), and Leclair (2). Everyone thought that Finals was going to be Lindros' ascension into greatness and the Wings beat them in every aspect of the game. The Wings literally did exactly to the Flyers in '97 what the Devils did to the Wings in '95.

(: I remember when Detroit teams weren’t literally all bottom feeders :)

Was Team Nolan that draft as a Devils fan. Feels awful seeing how hard injuries impacted his progress as a player he looked so fun in juniors

Hopefully he acts like a double agent and kills the Penguins too

oops

From what I remember the guy telling that story was a bit off and the scouts were actually pushing for Heiskanen. Which obviously is still better than how things worked out for Patrick (unfortunate for him), but I don't think Makar was going to be the pick no matter who was making the choice there. Just that the Flyers exec was pissed at Hextall and wanted to blame him for everything currently wrong with the franchise and figured the scouts must have wanted Makar since....Makar is obviously the best player out of that draft.

The Patrick pick was bad luck, he was the consensus #1 until a severe injury in his draft year, Patrick has yet to play a full season in the NHL. It's bad luck for a guy who had a legitimate upside. But Makar has turned into the Erik Karlsson of the 2020s so in hindsight he was the first pick

At least they have Ersson

Hey, at least were competing rn. May the worst team win… the #1 overall pick 🤝😁

Man, it has been a tough go for Buffalo. However, if will allow an outside perspective, I think for the first time I see a glimmer of light at the end of your team's tunnel of pain. To be fair, the McEichel draft f#$ked your franchise up. There is an artform to tanking and unfortunately management at the time screwed it up. You cannot burn the franchise to the ground in order to get one player, and we all know it wasn't Eichel they wanted. You have to have at least something in place for the player so they have time to develop. The Sabres got rid of everything to get McDavid and then lost the lottery. This time, it seems like they MAY be doing the rebuild properly. That being said, it seems the Pegulas have a knack for screwing up the Sabres.

@@brianeleighton The thing is that Kim keeps fucking things up. Terry, for the most part, knows he doesn't know shit and takes a hands off approach to his ownership. Kim has near-dictatorial control of the Sabres and has gutted our scouting to the degree that we don't have anyone watching the Canadian or European leagues. So she's put us in a position where we can't develop, search for or generate talent. I want us to succeed, but it's not with her.

At least you have the Bills

@@smilingearth5181 You're not wrong, but what's impressive is that Granato seems to be finding a way to develop these guys in spite of Kim's interference, and Tuch has pretty much transformed the locker room. For once I agree that we may finally be on the way out of this hell, but after all these recent seasons that opened with hugely deceiving early success, I'm not gonna get ahead of myself just yet.

Every loss is a win! Go Briere rebuild this mess!

@@KamsPoliticalPredictions And the Flyers have at least made it to a handful of Cup Finals since their last win back in 1975.

yet no philly team ever gets healthy

Philly, not "Philli"

Them 76ers tho🤷

Ellis getting hurt was really a sign that this season was going to suck. I still have no clue why a 1 year player in Matt Niskanen was so vital and important to the team. He must have been the greatest teammate of all time and the locker room collapsed without him.

@@philly_sports1558 I think that truly was the case. My dad and I literally went to a game in Philly and saw him take a puck to the face and went to the locker room and came back like 2 minutes later with his nose stuffed with gawls, the man was a trooper

As a Wild fan, I tried to warn you guys about Fletcher. Yes he did draft Kaprizov, but that is being over looked considering the Parise and Sueter contracts and trading a mid round pick that turned into Brayden Point.

Ellis is getting paid more than Patrick and Myers combined. Heck, throw in Cody Glass, acquired by Nashville for Patrick, and Ellis is still making more. Philly knew about Ellis being good to miss a few games every year since he signed his current deal, which was why Nashville entertained the idea of trading him at the deadline last year.

Ellis had missed tons of games before becoming a Flyer. One look at his Games Played tells you he's been prone to injury. Chuck Fletcher is looking to be just one more disaster of a GM.

I’m a Flyers Fan Too But This is Comedy Gold!

As a flyers fan to. I don't feel sorry for this team. I just wish that Comcast could just sale this team to someone who cares but that will never happen. I guess have to wait just a few more years and the legacy of failure.

@@vinceniederman Even the Kraken though still building are better than the Philly amalgamation.

@@Sinnoh-has-no-fire True and I’m a Still a Flyers Fan at Heart!

@@vinceniederman All Seattle needs to do is fire Hakstol, and keep building. Coachella Valley replace Bylsma, and develop the young players.

As a Nashville fan, I was happy the Flyers took on Ellis' contract. He's good, but will miss a few games to injury and was made better by being paired with Josi. Plus, if Nashville ponies up the money to keep Forsberg after the season, I'll point to this as a reason.

As a Sabres fan, getting more for Risto than for Reinhart was baffling. Peak 200 Hockey Men brain

Who is your favorite team? Welcome to the greatest sport!

You can hardly call this amalgamation a team.

Having just seen the Devils win, I can take heart that we’re no longer the basket case of the Metro

I enjoyed the Rangers shutting them out in their own building with more Rangers fans than flyer fans.. ! Pay back for the 70' is sure sweet.. L.G.R.!!!!!

@@frankt285 Whoa, whoa, whoa!! Are you sure there were more Rangers fans? Cause every Flyer fan I know tells me how great and supportive they are and even during bad times they sell the place out. Are you insinuating Flyers fans are bandwagoners?

I want the Leafs to win them up so everyone can laugh at us, but I doubt it

Yup the front office wasted a decade of his career by not getting him any help and drafting horribly.

He deserves better. There’s no reason why he should still be forced to be the best player on the team this deep into his career. But he is and no one is even close. Believe it or not, there’s idiots in this city who put all the blame on him for the Flyers not winning a Cup. They’re probably causal fans at best.

To be fair, he did have two bad postseasons in 2018 and 2020. In 2020, you could argue he deserved most of the blame for that hot Flyers team not going further. However, I’ll agree that his defense and goaltending outside of a few years were dogshit.

Been hearing things that he may head to a Canadian team? I think he's given the Flyers more than enough of his career.

Jesus Christ the fucking Sixers?

@@TheDragonsPit sadly yes. The second round heartbreak is imminent

I could not understand why Fletcher traded for a guy who was not a team player. He wanted out of Buffalo because they were bad, so I'm wondering if he's asking for a trade out of Philly now.

That makes sense when you consider that the Philthy fans still cheer Crosby sucks when he's destroying them.

Orioles. But that's baseball, so I guess not

They'll beat the Wild next Thursday 😝

Kieth Yandle rocking a -31 plus/minus I’d say he could use a little help on D.

Hextall had a good strategy with holding draft picks and prospects, but said draft picks and prospects have failed to pan out. It also doesn’t help that he held on to Dave Hakstol for too long and upper management decided that Hextall’s “rebuild” was over after the bubble playoffs when we were still a year or two away from the “rebuild” being over.

@@carmencaputo7229 Im probably wrong here but.........I dont remember it being up to Hextall with the Hakstol situation. I also remember that they were tired of his patient approach......... Anddddd I also remembered that the guy whos in charge of everything now is....... Paul. Holmgren. Im glad I kinda lost interest in hockey. Because this team is going nowhere for as long as he still has anything to do with the team.

Also I will tell my kids one day that Matt Niskanen was the greatest defensemen in Flyers History

Hextall drafted Sanheim, Lindblom, Provorov, Konecny, Hart, Frost, Ratcliffe and Farabee, and that's just the players still with the team. So, I don't see how you can say he "missed" on most of his picks when he did about as well as every other GM in the league when it comes to drafting.

@@THE_bchat most of those players you just listed are awful.

Any team that was capable of proper player development could've turned most of them into stars but the Flyers have grinder dip****s like Chris Stewart and Nick Shultz there to coach all the skill out of them. And then when they inevitably get injured they get handed over to Jim "Mengele" McCrossin.

@@amorgus I think you've made some good points that really get overlooked The player development of this franchise has been really lacking. Most of the Flyers draft picks just haven't played up to expectations and poor development could very well be the reason. As for McCrossin you're probably right there too. I've never seen a team with so many injuries over the years like the Flyers have had, going back to the Lindros days.

They asked for it when they hired Doc Rivers. He’s good for the regular season but a massive choker in the playoffs
