[O’Connor] Tocchet dit qu’Andrae reste absent. Il a dit qu’il avait parlé avec Todd Rierden et qu’il voulait vraiment garder les groupes PK actuels ensemble, donc ils n’ont pas apporté de changement au noyau D en conséquence.
Then what is he doing here? Crazy he’s not getting time on ice before the break

Gotta prioritize that PK guys. That’s gonna be our 2026-2027 season glue.

We, as fans, have earned every right to be impatient and unhappy with how our young players are used.

Can’t believe Tocchet has taken *another* veiled swipe at Michkov smh 🤦♂️

Worth noting the Flyers had ONE PENALTY to kill last game and THREE POWER PLAYS in which an offensive defensemen could be used…i.e. not Juulsen.

Noah Juulsens 30 seconds of penalty kill a game is crucial to the success of the incredibly unimpressive penalty kill they have. (I guess to be fair it’s been better of late but cmon).

in philadelphia we think the best way to develop players is by not playing them, especially in favor of fringe veteran players 30+

Yes that sweet sweet PK unit that gave up a shorty on its only kill.

If only you were allowed to go 11 and 7

I get as the coach you don’t want to waive the white flag on the season, but the standings aren’t even remotely in our favor at this point. Tocchet’s gotta take a step back and start prioritizing the long term now.

Not the main point of this post but why is Hathaway still getting ice time?

Tocchet must have dirt on someone. He should be jobless.

This will seem like I’m just trying to pile onto the endless Tocchet hate, but I’m honestly genuinely confused how he has gotten this reputation that he is « media savvy », or even in regards to talking with front offices etc. Not even mad about Andrae getting stratched, just part of an overarching point.
With Torts, I could hate a decision, but often times after hearing him articulate it, even if I didn’t agree, I could understand. And that was with him not wanting to show his hand a lot of the time.
With Tocchet, he never really articulates his ideas that well, or comes across as this « great communicator » that everyone deems him as. Obviously has a ton of connections from being in the league so long, but just something I’ve noticed. Kinda miss Torts’ pressers lol.

Was really disappointed that Tocchet didn’t turn up in the latest batch of Epstein files

Sacrifice 5v5 play in order to make an ‘elite’ PK core. Have they tried coaching players to just not take penalties?
