https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Bde-mdvbsM Il me retire les mots de la bouche dans cette discussion. La conversation commence vers minuit * Seravalli parle à plusieurs joueurs dans les vestiaires, et nombreux sont ceux qui ne sont pas contents en ce moment. * Le message public portera sur « Regardez à quel point ils ont joué », mais quand vous faites un pas et regardez en arrière, c’est la plus grande déception de rater les séries éliminatoires et de ne pas avoir la chance de changer de joueur de franchise * John Tortorella est le pire entraîneur pour cette équipe. Bien qu’il soit un excellent entraîneur, il va également sortir et arracher 10 à 15 points supplémentaires à l’équipe l’année prochaine, ce qui rendra la recherche de talents de haut niveau beaucoup plus difficile. * Torts a trop de pouvoir. Il a une place à la table des transactions et est à l’écoute de Dan Hiflerty. * Tortorella n’a aucune capacité à faire autre chose que « appuyer sur le gros bouton rouge » (c’est-à-dire réprimander et embarrasser ses joueurs) * Lorsque Tortorella a commencé à changer de ton à nouveau et à stimuler ses joueurs, il pense que c’est Torts qui s’est rendu compte qu’il avait dépassé les limites.

Wow. Couldn’t have seen this coming. Can’t get rid of him fast enough.
I don’t think Torts is the worst coach for the team. The Flyers overachieved a lot this season. Torts probably did cost them the ‘yoffs by benching Coots though but I have to regard this season as a good thing overall
Good luck with this. It’s clear to many of us that what happened this year, while fun to watch, was not really in the best interest in the team’s future in many ways. Before the season started nearly everyone was in agreement that the worst-case scenario this year would be if Torts does what he normally does, gets the team just good enough to just make or just miss the playoffs, causing front-office to not pull the trigger on potential moves at the deadline and miss out and much better talent higher up the draft.
That’s exactly what happened, but many fans were so swept up by the entertainment value of the season that they forgot all of these concerns, with some even starting to talk like the rebuild, which hasn’t even really started, is just about over.
I really like Torts, but I have serious doubts that he’s the right fit for a team trying to fully rebuild. I also still don’t see much of anyone on this current team that should be untouchable.
Yep. This organization is still floundering right now.
Very little top end talent, no high draft picks in what should be a deep rebuild.
We had this convo last year when Briere finally openly declared we needed to rebuild. Everyone already knew that Torts is too good of a coach for franchise that wants to tank, so clearly Briere and Co don’t want to tank outright. Right or wrong, that’s the route we’re taking.
The problem is this organization’s previous regime botched the last 10 years when they should have been rebuilding, instead of making bad signings and little to no trades of relevance.
We’ve got draft capital, and quite honestly it might not be Top 10, but I think if you are Briere & Jones, you move TK with a package of picks to move up in the draft this year, I don’t want the Flyers to give him a big deal because he isn’t someone who I feel deserves to be a top guy on a team like the Flyers because if this team hopes to be a contender in the next 5 years, he will be completely aged out and another « Robin » when we need to establish a « Batman » on this team.
Forever stuck in purgatory. Not making the obvious moves to try and actually move the needle. It’s the same thing over and over again for decades now
« Seravalli talks to a number of player in the locker room, and there are plenty who are not happy right now »
This is a good sign to me. why would anyone be happy? If you’re not happy because you missed the playoffs, great, that’s how you should feel. If you’re not happy with the way Torts treats you, get better or get out.
Wake up honey, it’s our daily upcan drivel.
Frank is just tyring to stay relevant. All he is doing is pushing buttons for engagement because nobody will hire him.
Doesn’t Frank also have a lot of hatred towards Torts in general?
Not gona take his opinions on Torts too seriously.
I think we’re going to “stealth tank” via goaltending next year. It sounds like Danny is committed to Ersson/Fedotov tandem.
Now I’m not saying Ersson and Fedotov are bad by any means, but if goaltending doesn’t improve dramatically, I have to imagine we’ll be a lottery team next year – and maybe that’s by design.
Honestly, happy we went for it and I’m not too upset about picking 12th either. More than anything else, I hate sports media trying to create drama
Seravalli is an absolute shock jock. I’m sure there’s some dissenting opinions in that locker room. There are some in almost every locker room to various extents. I’ll wait to hear it from a more credible source.
Plus I think Torts was kind of brought in TO make people uncomfortable. The team had been coasting for years before him. AV was an ignorant ass that just let the team do whatever, Hakstol was an inexperienced wet blanket that didn’t put his players in the best positions to succeed. Torts has his faults, but this is a hit piece in podcast form.
Honestly if you’re getting news from guys like Spittin Chiclets, Nasty Knuckles, or whatever remember that those podcasts are driven by views and they will bring in people and talk about topics that generate the most of them.
There may very well be a nugget of truth in there, but Seravalli routinely gets into internet fights with agents who call him out for his bullshit reporting and for making shit up about players. Call me when it’s someone with a brain
Seravalli is a clown
Seravalli is garbage and a known Torts hater. I’d sooner take a lampost’s word for it than Frank’s.
It’s the end of the first year of a rebuild. Get a grip. They know exactly who Torts is and he’s doing exactly what they want him to.
This supermarket checkout trash is nothing more than bait from a man desperate to stay relevant.
Seravalli is a bum.
I’m not going to put too much into this, I know this is opinionated and not inside information, with the exception of conversations with the players, but frank has lost his credibility in recent years, or maybe I have only just started paying attention, but yeah this is more than likely a personal vendetta for a bitter man
If it’s « I’m not happy because I sucked as a player and was benched because of it. », cya nerd. Be better.
