@Guy_is_mello @spittinchiclets "Grit and heart win jack without top talent also" Obviously. Nobody would disagree with this ...

@spittinchiclets Keep your salary down by not having top level players When was the last cup won by the Flyers Grit and heart win jack without top talent also

Ed Snider was one of the most passionate owners the NHL will ever see.

@ChuckZ123 @spittinchiclets It cost them Bobrovsky but thats it. Everything else is from terrible GMs and terrible drafting.

@spittinchiclets Unfortunately, it is desperation to win a cup before he passed, he ruined the team

@BeeTEE15 Honestly Ersson helped us get Michkov and Martone Im glad the organization had bizarre trust is a clear non NHLer

I cannot wait for Sam Ersson not to be a Philadelphia Flyer

@hockeypsych_ Definitely not. Top 5 all time and impressive how good he still is but not top 10 now

Just had a debate with someone… do you think Sidney Crosby is STILL a Top 10 Player in the NHL?

@JFreshHockey Prime Kimmo Timonen. Not sure what year. Or Voracek 2015.

Leddy peaked as a very nice top four offensive defenceman with the Isles and then settled into a decade of doing Stuff hockeystats.com/cards/previous…

@borth_craig @JFreshHockey 2010 Flyers roster was loaded They had 4 great centers so always had to force one to play the wing: Richards, Carter, Briere, Giroux. And on defense had a top 4 of Pronger, Timonen, Carle, Coburn Too bad they didnt have a goalie and they were old so had a short window

@JFreshHockey Flyers had some studs in that era

Very underrated player remembered badly because he fell off hard once he got paid. hockeystats.com/cards/previous…

@goalfarabee86 You are severely overrating Mctavish Hes a 50 pt guy who is horrific defensively and can't drive play due to being as slow as Couts

McTavish is and will be a better player than Tippett but Flyer fans and reporters will tell you that McTavish being slow makes him useless to the Flyers Tippett MAYBE scoring 30 goals once (lol), being 27 and past his prime when they’re ready to compete makes him irreplaceable

@jjaisle @justingiam Every single team has physical grinders in depth roles b/c physicality is still a part of the game. Especially in playoffs. Watch the playoffs one time and see how much more physical they play It has nothing to do with why Flyers stink

@JeffSi5000 @justingiam They sign goons every year These players have no spot in the NHL any longer

Since 2000, the Flyers have drafted 5 players who went on to score 35+ goals in a single season: Patrick Sharp (36) Jeff Carter (36, 46) James van Riemsdyk (36) Claude Giroux (35) Cutter Gauthier (35*) Of that list, only Carter had a 35-goal season with the Flyers. *Active

@Anth_Chatburn @FlyersChirp Just b/c a team doesn't win a cup doesnt mean their tank didn't work When only 1/32 teams win barely anybody wins in general Most that did win tanked... EDM got 2 top 5 players and were elite w/ multiple cup finals Thats WAY better than Flyers last decade and next decade

@JeffSi5000 @FlyersChirp Mmmm so it’s not cups, it’s series wins? Just pick a standard we can discuss it.

"Drafting First wins Cups"

@Anth_Chatburn @FlyersChirp You are claiming tanking doesn't work b/c a team like EDM only became an elite perennial contender with multiple cup final appearances Yet the Flyers way of not tanking has got them 1 series win ... Every team would love to be as good as EDM last 5 yrs. But only 1/32 teams win.

@Anth_Chatburn @Buick_Buck STL and LA had elite 1Ds from tanking VGK had elite 2nd overall 1C and top 5 pick elite 1D ... Yeah definitely proves tanking doesn't work Only 1 out of 32 teams win ... a few recent winners only having 2nd-5th overall 1C/1Ds proves nothing lol

@Buick_Buck Looks like 4 of 10 teams are no

@Anth_Chatburn @FlyersChirp They have been a perennial contender who have made last 2 cup finals and would have won a cup if their GMs weren't so bad Every team would love to be in that situation where you have 2 top 5 players and are making multiple cup finals runs Flyers have won 1 series in 13 yrs ...

@FlyersChirp But they haven;t and it's not looking good this year either? right?

@Ywolok Obviously it doesn't work every time since only 1 out of 32 teams but nearly every recent cup winner tanked for multiple yrs to get pieces like 1C/1D and elite wings The way the Flyers are doing it pretty much never works

No one likes to bring up the amount of times it doesn’t work. Only the times it has worked.

@_ChrisMaher The Sharks are in a million times better shape They have an elite 1C, young 2C w/ 1C potential, 2 other good young top 6 guys w/ top line potential and Dickinson who is top pair projected We don't have 1C, 2C, or franchise D If u wouldn't change places with them u r delusional

Celebrini has been awesome. 95 pts. Everyone else has 45 or lower. They stink when he doesn’t produce. They have one goal scorer over 20 goals (Celebrini) everyone has 19 or less. Not one defender with 30 points. Askarov has a .886 SV% and a 3.46 GAA, and they’re in the worst division in hockey.

@ctflyersfan79 @_ChrisMaher @MaherMediaCo Its such an ignorant view its impressive How can you follow the nhl so much and be this clueless? Sharks r in such better shape its insane I would literally trade every player/prospect 4 Celebrini And they have Misa, Smith, Eklund, Dickinson We have no top 6Cs or 1D lol

@_ChrisMaher @MaherMediaCo Yeah, that’s what I took it as you meant. And what I’m saying is that you have to look at what the players are projected to be versus what the Flyers players are projected to be. Celebrini is an outlier . In 5 years who’s better?

@_ChrisMaher @ctflyersfan79 @MaherMediaCo Are you serious????? Its so much better its not even close Their best guys are all just 18-20 and they arent trying to win now so obviously arent good They have elite 1C, 2C, 2 good young top 6 wings and 1D potential blue chip prospect in Dickinson We don't have a 1C, 1D, 2C

@ctflyersfan79 @MaherMediaCo I’m not judging the players. The comment was the Sharks rebuild is better than the Flyers. It’s not.

@flyersfan831 @Fujipredator If the Flyers actually tanked like they should have they would have gotten a 1C. Like every single tanking team. The Flyers just idiotically refuse to which results in a bottom 10 roster with zero chance at making playoff run

@JeffSi5000 @Fujipredator yes let's keep chasing that ic and id for 20 years you are dreaming of and get screwed every draft and be happy not making the playoffs at all.

The duality of Flyers twitter lol

@flyersfan831 @Fujipredator So your goal is to just sneak into playoffs and lose in 1st round?? Yeah god forbid look for a 1C and 1D, like every team does, so you can be an actual contender A GMs job is to build a contender ... Not even attempting to find a 1C to become a contender is insane

@flyersfan831 @Fujipredator Also how exactly do you plan on just getting good centers??? 1Cs arent available to just sign or trade A goalie can help sneak u into playoffs but cant go anywhere unless you have 1C + 1D and good skater group A top goalie is just a luxury. Not a necessity. 1C/1D is.

@Fujipredator it's funny that goaltending is the biggest reason why teams make the playoffs but protank morons keep thinking it's a number 1 center even though the leafs and oilers have two franchise players and they cant win. screw that upgrade the goaltending and get good centers.
