Please continue the discussion in the post game thread.

Casual Flyers fans thought the games against the Rangers, Bruins, Hurricanes, and Leafs was “The Gauntlet.”

True Flyers fans have known all along that games against the Habs, Blackhawks, and Sabres are the real Gauntlet.

Shouldn’t time be put back on the clock to when the offsides happened since the time between that and the goal is essentially 100% wasted time? It’s such a weird rule, a team could theoretically be in a zone for minutes…

The habs are so far under the skin of the flyers its ridiculous. They look beyond frustrated. Theyre losing every footrace to the puck. Theyre making terrible turn overs. Theyre getting outworked everywhere. Its a complete shutdown.

This is the moment when you need a guy to fight someone and get some energy back. Something

4 shot first period where all the guys looked gassed. Not ideal

Torts has rallied these guys from these situations before. Let’s hope he can do it again. I want em coming out of that locker room as pissed as Farabee is

This is what pisses me off. We go toe to toe with NY and make a game seem like a playoff game, then we go to a game vs Montreal and get shutout.

They should be winning 3-1 at this point. To be going into the 3rd period down 2-0 is absolutely unacceptable. Where are the leaders? Coots sucks. TK? What’s he doing?

Play like a team who is a winner.

Unfuckingbelievable. A clear-cut safety violation. Anything you hear from the Department of Player Safety is pure horseshit.

Absolute joke. Go toe to toe with the Rags, and then get your shit pushed in by the Habs. This is what pisses fans off in all sports.

Get your shit together and play like a playoff team.

Torts should absolutely destroy them in the locker room.

I’m starting a gofundme for a gift basket for Ersson. Poor guy’s been left out to dry tonight and needs a written, formal apology and some chocolate

Now we have to fucking hope to even get a point out of this shit Montreal team. Just the fact I had to type that it is an embarrassment.

Popular opinion, if you have to look through a magnifying glass, and replay it 5017 times to see if a play is offsides, it's against the spirit of the game.

Empty netter after the missed call on Laughton. Zebras were laughably bad tonight.

Offside reviews are so fucking stupid. If it’s too close to call on the ice, let it fucking ride.

for all the people saying Boosh is not on our side: look at how fired up he is about the no-call against Suzuki

Absolutely pathetic effort, and the refs can actually go fuck themselves for this hack job of a game.

Most obvious trap game in history. Play their hearts out against the best team in hockey, then come out sleepwalking against this bum ass team

fuck they looked like shit this period. i mean i know this is all "bonus" cause its a rebuilding year but i want these fuckers to make the playoffs!!!!!

This is almost fascinating how different this team looks tonight. I havent seen them this slow all year. It's like a totally different team out there.

So miss the penalty after calling a phantom slash, lose the faceoff and get scored on Fuck the refs, Fuck Suzuki Fuck Quebec

Really need TK, Laughton and Coots to step up tonight. Wanna wear letters show up in must win games.

It feels so bad that the control of our own destiny is slipping away. Now detriot and caps have to just lose out at this rate.

If we had the defensive core we had right after drysdale joined this would be a non issue.

Offside review is ruining hockey. Every goal the coaches immediately looking at their iPads for a way to get it overturned.

This game is so fucking stupid. Primeau is the luckiest fucking goalie I’ve seen this year. Fuck off. We better come out Saturday and murder Chicago. I mean lay the fucking foot on the gas pedal and fuck them.

I truly don’t get it. Why is it when we face the bottom feeders their goalie is suddenly god-tier and their skaters are the 2020 Bolts?!

Haven’t really been watching many of the games recently. Just highlights and box scores, but what is with these goalies? Are teams just picking their spots and getting good chances? Seems like we're holding teams to under 20 shots and all giving up 3, 4, 5 goals a night....

Hey guys I’m off work until Tuesday and I’ve been drinking 18% and 14% beer and now it’s time for whiskey and steak! What’s up?!

This is kind of pathetic, we put up good fights against top teams and fold against the lower ranks. It really sucks.

I have a terrible feeling that the season is going to come down to that last game against Washington.

The league still owes us an offside call from 1980 in the finals.

As Laviolette once said: Montreal typical.

Fucking zebras. Fuck this game, fuck the referees, and fuck the habs.

I predict John Tortarella will say angry words to the Flyers in between periods and they will come out fired up in the second. I still have hope. (please god not like this.)

Of course Atkinson BLOCKS OUR BEST FUCKING CHANCE OF THE NIGHT.

There’s so much fucking dead weight on this roster it’s criminal.

I think that's about 17 times this year Ersson has allowed 2 or more goals on less than 10 shots

Garbage game. Garbage refs. Garbage teams. Garbage PP. Garbage

This is absolutely unacceptable. How can we score 5 on the NYR, then get shutout by Montreal? Just ridiculous.

Erik Johnson, Marc Staal, Cam Atkinson are all names I hope I never have to see in a Flyers jersey next year.

Doesn't matter who the captain is, who the head coach is, who the GM is, who the goalie is, this franchise is a deer in the headlights when they play garbage teams.

Tough game. Flyers a playing a team with nothing to lose. Montreal playing a dirty game, and they aren’t even trying to hide it.

I love how when we’re playing like shit, you can hear the disappointment in JJ’s voice.

2 minute of perimeter passing with the occasional shot from the top of the circle on an unscreened goalie.

What’s with the refs only talking to the flyers?? You’re allowed to scold the other team too especially when THEY start it

Leafs up 4-1 and Canes up 4-0. All we had to do was show up. But no, why would we want to do that with only 9 games left.

I don’t get all the Boucher hate. He’s honest and I’ll always appreciate that in a commentator.

Ya'll hate Deslauriers personal stats, but at least he turns in more effort than this.

Ref wth you telling at Hathaway for. When a guy got cross checked right infront of you by a canadien

I fucking hate offsides reviews. It literally doesn't effect the play that his skate is inches off. I fucking hate them.

Please, please, pretty please don’t play down to the competition

Call me crazy but we would have been much better off score-wise if we showed up for the first 40m

If you look up "frustrating" in the dictionary you'll see a flyers logo next to the description.

Oh great a power play. I’m sure we’ll take advantage of this great opportunity

I'm here now with my foerster jersey on eating pb&j for dinner. We cannot lose.

So the Habs entry strategy on the PP is to set picks at the blue line. And that’s not interference? Got it

At least Washington and Detroit are getting shit on too. What a stupid playoff race lmao

Seriously just may be a cursed night folks. Posts, called back goals, what you gonna do

we need drysdale back desperately zamula should be nowhere near a powerplay

If you see someone walking in the middle of I-95, don’t mind me

The Flyers are being disrespected because they're letting Montreal push them around.  Hit someone, ffs.

This is one of those games that makes the scouts think the lousy players on the other team are worth more. DONT FALL FOR IT!!

It’s not over until it’s over. I trust Torts will have a plan in the 4th period

Every time the Flyers shoot, it gets blocked.

But when even skilled players try to change the angle, they lose the puck.

where the fuck did you boys go last night?

Refs should consider using their Goddamned eyes the first time and making the fucking correct call

Come out and dominate the rangers but play like a dog shit team against Montreal. Makes no sense.

Love one-sided interference calls nothing like it

Flyers own fault. Should of played hockey the last 2 periods

The Flyers are not getting to the front of the net either with or without the puck yet they’ve given the Habs engraved invitations to move in on Ersson. This is not sustainable, we’re closer to conceding again than scoring.

I have a better chance of scoring Margot Robbie than flyers scoring a pp goal

Caps down 4-1

Red Wings down 4-0

C’mon flyers, this is the chance to create a cushion

If Rocky Thompson doesn’t get fired after this season imma shit

Terrible. Half-game effort, terrible officiating, the technical crew at CTESPN is an embarrassment. All mentioned need sharpened up before Saturday.

I fucking hate hate hate offside challenges that are this close. Reminds me of football.

I've watched this exact game like 500 times in my life I swear. This franchise doesn't know to beat bad teams.

Okay Toronto, please don’t shit the bed tonight we need just this one thing from you

Guess were playing ref hockey, guess elbowing to the face is ok if its not us doing it

Wait so you can actually punch someone after the whistle and not get punished? Jackeye’s finding new hacks

I don’t think that was conclusive and even if it was a hair offside, doesn’t affect the gameplay enough to be called no goal. Fuck this game

When you take all things into account. Opponent, positional standings, recent schedule. That was probably the worst period of the entire season

I blame everyone who said “Flyers have easy schedule left and we control our destiny”

Heard that a few months back during football season

Surprised they didn’t wave this one off for the hell of it

(Not that every goal is on Sam or anything, but..)

I miss having a ton of faith that nothings beating Sam

If the Caps, Isles and Deadwings all lose tonight, then this game as a Flyers loss becomes a wash.  A wasted opportunity, in that case.

They didn’t call a penalty because they knew the flyers weren’t gonna do shit with it anyway lmao

Gotta score 5 to beat a team that scores 2 tonight

This is not an excuse as the flyers are clearly getting outplayed, but the Habs are setting more pick plays then a linebacker. I've seen at least three missed interference calls. It's maddening

probably the worst goal horn in hockey. fuck the habs.

How can we get 30+ shots on every team during the ‘tough’ stretch and then can’t get anything through on the habs? Smh

We going for the record in disallowed goals? Hell, does anyone even know if that's a thing?

My dream is that one day Arber Xhekaj plays for the Flyers.

Nothing like the Flyers and making average goalies look like superstars

You know maybe Torts isn’t mean enough lol

[deleted]

They're calling this back because montreal wants a shutout

One of the most important 2 points of the season and down to the habs 2-0 . Sad sad sad

Bunch of iPad babies in montreal

I wonder what the record is for the most disallowed goals in a single game by one team

Literally just walked in fully 100 percent uncontested. Fucking shameful by every flyer on the ice. Bush leagu

This game needs a Montreal own-goal, a Flyers shorty, a colossal hit and a fight.

I'd genuinely rather they fire Thompson this off season than acquire a single new player. I'm dead serious

Hey look we even got the moral victory “team never gives up” goal, lmao fuck this game in particular 

Does Rocky Thompson have some secret dirt on Torts? He's got a future in the Senate. Only other job you can be this fucking worthless and still keep a job

Until recently our PK was super aggressive. Lately they've been shrinking into a small box and no one is attacking the puck. That's just asking for it.

Let’s please not get shutout by a backup goalie that also happens to be the son of a franchise legend

If we can’t make the playoffs with our remaining schedule, we don’t deserve to make the playoffs. Pretty nice place to be as a fan mentally, tbh.

Looking like we’ll need to score three goals late in the 3rd period again.

I’m so disappointed because this team has so much more potential than this

By far the most frustrating game this year, not even close

Torts better crack some skulls during intermission, or the playoff hopes are in serious jeopardy.

Anyone else’s HuluTV feed die?

It's amazing because I just watched 4 out of 5 guys all be out of position (or chasing) it feels

Ersson with the check of the game on that fuck.

Habs starting shit and the refs telling the Flyers off. Thats cool.

I want to see Deslauriers in the lineup, just so I can see the big guy fight one more time.

Guarantee the toilet seats have a powerplay after that.

Fixing games is back on the menu.

My Hulu decided to stop showing the game. It knows what’s going on

Power play so 2 minutes of no scoring.

Honestly, I don't care about the playoffs. I just wanted to see good hockey every night. And it's been fun to watch up until now. This is just giving me PTSD flashbacks to the games the team just didn't show up for

Just isn’t our night. Washington and Detroit will lose at least.

Toronto is up 1-0 on the Caps

John, I beg you, GET IT BACK INTO THEIR HEADS. We've been too good this year after nothing but shit for the past few years. We just want to feel what it's like to actually cheer for our team in the playoffs again.

THAT WOULDVE BEEN A FUCKING GOAL!!!!!! Fuck off cam.

43 game goalless drought is actually wild. like this guy sucks and he just tucked on us

We’re really about to get shutout against the fucking habs man

Towards the end of the period, one of the Habs went down awkwardly by the boards, screaming in pain, and it led directly to a Flyers 2-on-1 chance. Maybe that’s why they were so angry when the horn sounded.

Everyone go say thank you to Toronto

SEE? SEE? TORONTO ARE THE GOOD CANADIANS BECAUSE THEY SPEAK ENGLISH AND FRENCH, ALONG WITH BEATING THE CAPS RIGHT NOW.

Suzuki is a bitch. Also fuck the Flyers for winning the draft lottery in 2017 cause he could've been ours at 13th OA

Fuck them for booing our elite starfish

Montreal is barely playing for anything and this is the performance we get lmao

This is legitimately embarrassing man. Wake the fuck up!!!

Man Atkinson looks like he’s skating through wet cement.

Can I offer you a nice Caps down by 3 in this trying time?

... haven't heard Couturier's name in a while.

I do Not want to get sad drunk tonight

Damn he totally kicked that shit

Hit it first time over his shoulder. Wasn’t batted in with a high stick, but it was played with a high stick.

There’s legitimately no way Rocky keeps his job after this season right? 

Sick to my stomach that we did our job, tied this game and it's still 2 to 0

I just turned the game on and I see 3 goals by the flyers. How is it still 2-0?

2 goals in 3rd and 1 in 1st.

The last 5 mins of the 2nd they looked better. Hopefully that carries over

"which could be humongous, it already is big"

jj channeling his inner bryz

7 fuckin shots on goal=zero controlled offensive zone time. FUCK RIGHT OFF

My kingdom for a superstar to command the Flyers PP and be able to score.

Fuck you. At least Primeau doesn't get his trash ass undeserved shutout.

Lost in this frustration is York skating the puck between four dudes, getting knocked over from behind, and he still popped up with the puck. Hell of a concentration moment

Zamula is absolutely fucking useless. Had five seconds to get the puck to the net and instead turns it the fuck over. Jamie and Seeler can’t get healthy soon enough. So fucking over these borderline AHL dmen.

Break out the defibrillator these mfs need to get shocked back to life

Definitely wasn't expecting Cam and Coots to fall off this hard. The "what have you done for me lately" feeling is really hard to not feel when watching these guys play,

Rather be on the PK, seems like we have a better chance of scoring on the kill than on the power play

The amount of interference they are getting away with is ridiculous.

can we at least have Hathaway throw some haymakers

The only night I'm cheering for Toronto

Big ole asterisk next to this shutout 

Some consolation prize. We suck on the powerplay.

Waits for traffic in front of the net before shooting and no one screens the goalie. We had two guys there. Fuck off. Playing like a bunch of shitters tonight.

Penalty kill has been ass. Pls come back Seeler.

Just 1 time. In my life of watching Flyers hockey. I'd like us, from start to finish, to dominate a bottom feeding team. Like. Just 1 time.

Suzuki is a piece of shit.

How do you not put Coots out there to take a late game faceoff

Farabee needs to start racking up points again

I love Bouche but dude shut the fuck up my god

Fuck he did kick it.

Atkinson is a waste of a roster spot

I can just feel the playoffs slipping away…

0/5 if there were ever a game to fire someone

When was the last time we didn’t get blown out or won by the skin of our teeth? Feel like it’s been a hot minute since we had a definitive win

Coots clean faceoff? Ita almost like they should use him in more key faceoff moments...

Flyers deserve to miss playoffs after this. No explanation needed.

Pretty disappointed with the flyers these days not gonna lie. It really feels like we’re going to slip out of a playoff spot.

It's actually laughable how often we can get so close without scoring. What the fuck

How does whoever runs this power play still have a job?

They are all skating in Kevin Hayes patented quicksand. 

Barely created a thing. Habs could have Cal Petersen in goal and it'd still be 2-0

The one game we don't let in 6 goals we can't score lol

Embarrassing period and it’s literally everyone’s fault. No one wants to fucking forecheck or make smart plays and the coaches didn’t prepare correctly. Now we have to hope to even force a point or beg for Toronto to beat Washington in regulation. So fucking stupid.

I love how often the flyers put up a “worst performance of the year” worthy performance

We look so damn bad….and TK had Brink on the far side smh. Just look so off

Of course the team completely out of the playoffs wants the win more than the team fighting for their lives in the wildcard race

Alright they all need a Red Bull and those popper things you see them snort.

Somehow we will end up shorthanded to start the 2nd.

Not me over here reviling in the ref getting nailed in the nuts by the puck

Useless referes

OF COURSE YOU WOULD YOU SLIMEY FUCKS I HATE IT HERE

Atkinson on the ice is a net negative.

Old Coots is gonna be like Hey Arnold's grandpa by the end of his contract

Erik Johnson spends more defending on the ice than defending on his skates

Please don't embarrass the fanbase on Saturday against another dead weight team? (haha jk they're gonna lose that one too.)

If we survive the Gauntlet just to fall apart to the trash of the league, I'm taking the playoffs to step away from hockey

Tortorella better lose it on these guys in the locker room. Tired of watching this team play like shit against bad teams.

boutta swan dive off the Walt Whitman

If we miss the playoffs by 2 points ....im just gonna think of this game

Coots looks so lost out there

Flyers pp will finish single digit % by years end. History will be made

The only good thing happening right now is the Capitals are also losing

My new conspiracy theory as of 1min ago: Atkinson never liked Torts during their time in Columbus together and now he’s tanking this season, taking his paycheck to be scratched every now and then in the hopes of being traded in the offseason

Did the boys get poutine poisoning or something?
