@J_Fahringer You're preaching to the choir my friend.
Danny has some work to do and by some I mean a lot

[Jimmy @UncleButsy]

My hunch is Danny is committed to MM. That's not a stretch.
If he is, then major changes have to happen and happen now because this is getting out of the bag.
I don't know if he'll fire Tocchet in year 2 of a 5 year deal but it should start with that for obvious reasons

[Jimmy @UncleButsy]

@TBFlyer 100% and know what you were saying.
Danny has a lot of work to do and navigate.

[Jimmy @UncleButsy]

You can't trade everyone and fire everyone but you also can't sit on your hands.
Something has to give and that starts this week.
I expect Danny to say something today about MM being happy/loves the Flyers to save some face.
That's not gonna do it, changes must be made.

[Jimmy @UncleButsy]

@TBFlyer That's bold let me tell you.
They can't just brush this under the rug.
I don't have a clue what they'll do but hoping it would fix itself is clearly not the answer.

[Michael @michaelkinky]

@UncleButsy I’d fire Tocchet after the next loss (presumably tonight). Between his 14 month feud with your top young talent and his nonchalant training camp that set the tone for a disastrous start that has the team on a 65 point pace. He’s gotta go. I’d trade a vet or 2 to send a message

[Jimmy @UncleButsy]

The Flyers are such a disaster on and off the ice, I have to wonder if McDavid has a shot at Gretzky's most points in a game record tonight.

[Jimmy @UncleButsy]

@SuitableAlias Where Danny messed up to me is, he knew there was an issue in the room. Trust me, he did.
He believed the room/culture was strong enough that they'd work it out.
The opposite happened and it's snowballed and now it's gone to a full on avalance.
Lots of blame to go around.

[Jimmy @UncleButsy]

I can tell you with 100% certainty that this not just a TK, Seeler do not like Michkov issue.
This runs much deeper. There are numerous players that do not like Mich and some of them are recently signed "cornerstone" players in the Flyers eyes.
On a scale of 1-5 this is a 10.

[Jimmy @UncleButsy]

Right now, the Flyers’ top priority should be creating an environment that maximizes the potential of Matvei Michkov and Porter Martone because they’re your 2 horses/building blocks at this point.
The opposite is happening and that falls on the coach and front office.

[Jimmy @UncleButsy]

It's an embarrassment for a franchise that embarrasses itself over and over and has for decades.
There's no easy fix here. You can't just trade everybody, it's not that easy.
You need to find the core issue and fix it 100%, no band aids. Fix it.
That's easy to say, hard to do.

[Jimmy @UncleButsy]

This issue isn’t resolved by only removing Tocchet.
It goes much deeper than that. Either ride or die with Michkov or drastic changes must be made. There’s no in between here.

[Mark @Capt__Oblivious]

I was 1 year old when the Flyers last won the Stanley Cup. I’ve never actually seen it happen in my lifetime. It’s been 16 years since they were any good. My kids are now graduating from college. I just want them to be good again. And I’ve just about lost hope.

[Jimmy @UncleButsy]

Flyers stink on the ice and off the ice and in the room.
This is your team is the laughing stock of the league bad. There has to be repercussions and soon.

[Charlie O'Connor @charlieo_conn]

Obviously, if Michkov truly does want out, it's a disaster for the Flyers. He's one of the key pieces of their rebuild, arguably the key piece. It's an full-fledged organizational failure to let the situation get to this kind of boiling point.

[Jimmy @UncleButsy]

I hope there’s a team dinner in Edmonton tonight. Get it all out on the table. Let it rip.

[Jimmy @UncleButsy]

I’ve been a Flyers fan a long time and I’ve seen some train wrecks. We could name numerous issues over the decades and this is up there as bad as I’ve seen it. I don’t know why this franchise can never be normal. This is disaster.

[Jimmy @UncleButsy]

Fire Rick and bring in Bruce to fix this disaster as Danny slowly moves some vets out.

[Jimmy @UncleButsy]

Flyers are once again, the laughing stock of the NHL.
What another black mark on this franchise.
Embarrassing for everyone involved from the top on down.

[Jimmy @UncleButsy]

As I was saying …….

[Jimmy @UncleButsy]

I'm starting to wonder why Mich would re-sign.
The coach doesn't like him and some vets clearly do not like him.
He's an RFA and it's not as easy as leaving but for real, why would he want to stay with a team that sucks and is making him out to be the bad guy.
