They won 11 games in OT and another 4 by shootout, so they only had 50 regulation wins all season. There were many teams even in the 10 years before OT became a thing in the NHL who won as many or more games. 1974 -- BOS 52, Flyers 50 1975 -- Flyers 51 1976 -- MTL 58, Flyers 51 1977 -- MTL 60 1978 -- MTL 59 1979 -- MTL 52, NYI 51 1982 -- NYI 54 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, it's heartbreaking knowing that the Flyers were way too impatient to wait for him to mature. Same fate awaits us fans with Carter Hart as well. There are several ex-flyers playing well in the playoffs right now and honestly I can't see many (if any) bright spots on this flyers team, sad.

vsptroops Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Florida won 3-2 in o/t. Up 3-0 in the series. They give me 2010 Flyers vibes. They are a fun team to watch. That Tkachuk line is damn impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were the last team in the Eastern Conference in the playoffs this year, but remember that they wont the President's Trophy last year, so they are probably actually better than the 8th-best team in the conference.

Tbf as much as I thought it was boneheaded to sign bryz and trade Bob, Bob wasn’t on track to become the goalie he is until Columbus. The coach there really worked with him so that he relied more on skill than his athleticism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, forgot that they won the Presidents trophy last year. Didn't pay attention to them this year so don't know what their regular season problems were but they are on a roll now.

Plus Torts was coaching for at least half his time there so Bob playing behind a more defensive sound system probably helped as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vsptroops Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Flyers get the 7th pick. Hope those extra 4-5 wins were worth it dumb asses. It disgusts me that on top of celebrating 3 cups since 2010, Chicago also gets the 1st overall pick in the draft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The irritating part is they deliberately tanked by trading young forwards away and got rewarded for tanking, which the lottery is supposed to be a hedge against. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't even make this stuff up at this point. A sensible organization would interview and hire candidates from successful organizations, with proven accomplishments of contributing to championships. ...... or they could just hire some guy they've seen talking about hockey on TV.

I don't think either of those guys has front office experience but if Jones gets the job, at least he has seen what kind of talent the Flyers are lacking by doing his broadcasting gig. He also saw who the successful franchises are so maybe he brings some of their ideas with him. Gonna be interesting thats for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heyeaglefn Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 Jones may be a fine choice but you can't clean house of the old Flyers legends to bring in Briere as your GM and Jones as your President and act like it isn't going to head in the same direction it was going with Holmgren and Clarke. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You make good points. To be honest, the only reason I follow this team anymore is out of morbid curiosity. I don't have any faith they can turn this franchise into a Cup contender before 2030. Hopefully they prove us all wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devpool Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 At least briere is from this millenia and understands how the game is played now, and Jonesy has been watching this team get outclassed for years and knows that the way they've been built is not the way to win anymore. Not gonna say they're great hires but they should at least bring some semblance of modern thinking to the table. Especially briere considering he was a smaller skilled forward that has become more of the norm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
