It is simply, NHL is a business, this team is a business, BUT if you take care of the players and back them with confidence and introduce new or let them change some plays, SOME different strategies or even TRY some new strategies, keep your plan…. Build on that plan, tweak it, flip the lines around. How about let the head coach and captain of the team take the lead, we have great talent it just seems that no one is enjoying themselves, it appears they are just at work…..it’s the best professional game in sports. I have been a die hard Flyer fan since 1994, Legion of Doom baby!! Bought my first Lindros jersey in 1994. Flyers forever, win or lose! It was exciting back then – let’s get EXCITED AGAIN, instead of beating them up every time they struggle! GO FLYERS!!! I WILL BACK YOU NO MATTER WHAT!!!

Coots, G and Konecny are a,l nice players But when none of your top line players could make the top line of the best teams in the league they are not going to win

They keep changing coaches but nothing ever changes! I love the Flyers but not having won anything since the 70’s is horrible. We have had years that we had some good players and nothing! A complete change is needed, not just coaches!!!

I agree as long as Comcast owns this team it’s going to be more about keeping the seats full then filling the rafters with cup banner!!!!

And start by bring in Tortz a coach that demands effort and playing the system he implemented!

Crappy owners, give you crappy teams. Look at Washington Football Team vs Washington Capitol Ownership. Been a fan since 1966. I don't think I missed in person, a home game from 1972 to 1980. It's sad to watch. Lived in DC from 1990 to 2018. I keep hoping. Feel so bad for Giroux. We have 3 qualified head coaches, in AV, Yeo & Therrin and power play sucks. Just shaking me head. But, still watching 😭]]> Let’s face it..
It’s Comcastic! 🤮🖕

As the first caller noted I never post on these sections but I can’t take it anymore from guys that sit on front of their TV and yell “shot the puck” the entire game.What a bunch of nonsense from dudes that have no clue. Take a look at the teams their losing to: Tampa, Florida, Carolina, Calgary. PSS- These are the best teams in the league. Granted their power play sucks but it’s early. They’ve got 2 of their most important players hurt.They finally have good goaltending, yes?! The sky is not falling Chicken Littles! Carry on.

Talent wins cups. Excellent coaching elevates that talent to greatness. The piss poor drafting of slug slow talentless players comes from blinded narrow minded scouts. Fire them all and bring in fresh new minds with the stamped in stone edict. Prospect must be above average skater to excellent. Skills as in shooting and passing above average. Defense must be physically gifted gritty and know how to fight. No more drafting project players. We were gifted 2 2nd picks in the draft. Both busts
Power play coach needs to be fired. The weakness is glaring. No behind the net play to draw and move defensemen and make the goalies work side to side. Respecting the stuffer and wraparound shots. Stagnant around the. Box passing and praying for an open angle shot aren’t working.
Dumpster diving for talentless bums is glaring. Thompson would be cut if I were coach . he is a turnover machine. He has no philly heart. JVR just wasting ice time. He needs an experienced playmaker and speedster to make him effective. The breakouts are terrible because forwards are standing still at the blue line waiting for a pass. The gaps are terrible. Forwards should be circling back through the top of the defensive zone with. Speed getting the puck and taking pressures off the defense.

A line of frost Foerster and lindbloom is better than any crap AV wants to throw out for the 4th line now
Thompson McEwen and laughton can all. Hit the bench

Hextall didn’t fail, he was removed before he was able to finish. His plan was an excellent plan, however he didn’t execute well(failing too often to pick the right players in early rounds of draft). That said we don’t know how it would have ended up, what move he might have made if he wasn’t removed early.
IF we go full rebuild with new GM, Flyers fans need to give that new GM at least 5 full years for the full
Rebuild, more time than was given Ron

They might call BS, then stop enjoying the game, then collapse . Time for CF to move on if he doesn’t want to be moved too.
