I wish we had the Hughes bros… Flyers would be entertaining again

Tocchet is destroying Michkov. Koneckny wants out. Coots looks like hes skating in quicksand. Goalies are like Swiss cheese (tho vladar has shown he can be a starter). Defense is avg at best. How long are we going to continue to say "maybe next year"?

I was indifferent to the Tocchet hire at the time. They did go outside the organEYEtion for the last few coaching hires with no success.

But seeing how Taco handles the team, I’m not feeling it. It’s a shame, cause he’s one of my all time favorite Flyers. Still have my Tocchet jersey from back in the day. (And yes, it barely fits.) :lol:

The Devils should have traded for Quinn Hughes. Not making that move really sank the season.

But he hasn’t signed an extension yet, right? If not I can see NJ, the Rangers and Flyers trying to clear cap space.
 

Sure, his preference wound be to play in NJ. Barring that, NY or Philly would be close enough.

Post storm depression day. Anyone else get it? The rush of NAM dopamine shots 4 times a day for 2-3 days. Storm ends. Tired from lack of sleep, shoveling. Spring is soon. It goes away pretty fast, but I always get this same feeling the day after a big event.

I'm moving to Philly this year.  How's this forum?  I might be banned. Is there another place you guys like to post as well/

Welcome aboard!

This is the only place to post, dont let anyone tell you otherwise. We are a close group, no a-holes in group. We are a "less is more" place with fewer folks but high quality. You will fit in perfectly. What part of the area you moving to? Stay away from Pats and Ginos btw. Again, welcome!

Same but Sixers. 

Both teams are grasping for the playoffs which really doesn't matter at this point. Sixers are in worse shape than the Flyers due to Embiid and Georges ridiculously insane contracts. They are screwed for years. Bottom line, it's up to the Birds or Phils to generate some winning interest...

Sixers had a great run going in January. Everyone was healthy. Everyone was playing together. Things were clicking. The George got suspended. Embiid got hurt again. Now Maxey.  Team is fried. Haven't had a solid bench since 2019.  They can't compete with the younger run and gun teams. 

Embiid is such a wasted talent. So dominant when he's healthy.  It's time for the Sixers to basically start over with Edgecombe. I would even consider trading Maxey if it's going to get a first round pick back. 

I started paying more attention to the Flyers this year than years past. The whole Carter thing set them back.  Every year they are too inconsistent. Win 4, lose 4. Win 6 lose 7, win 3 lose 4. Win 5, lose 4.  I think Mitchcov (sp?) has some serious upside. I like Zegaris as well.

Trading Jared McCain was already a bad mistake. Trading Maxey would compound it. If anything, the Sixers should have kept McCain, and traded Embiid (the timing of George's suspension made him untradable at the deadline, but they could move him in the offseason).

The Sixers could have turned the page with Maxey, McCain, and Edgecombe as core of the future. Trading Maxey, while still keeping Embiid and George on the roster, would stunt the rebuild for this team.

Flyers have a solid goalie in Vladar. Tho every time they get a G with promise, they trade them away. We'll see what happens here. Zegras is a spark. A few other younger guys with some promise too.

I certainly wouldn't trade Maxey. Best player on the team, young, hustles like a mofo and a good personality/locker room guy. And you would easily get a high 1st rounder for him if not more....

sixers bench is actually pretty good if, and yeah, i know, it's a big giant enormous humongous gargantuan IF, embiid, george, and maxey can get back by April...maxey, vj, oubre, george, embiid as your starting 5 and then grimes, barlow and drum/bona is a really really good playoff rotation

yes i do this to myself every year, why do you ask?
