Rick Tocchet has to be the dumbest head coach in the National Hockey League.
Grow a spine before Michkov, Martone, and every other young forward are ruined @DannyBriere48.

You are witnessing a truly historic hockey team.
A nine-game winless streak to start the NHL season.
Season is already over. Head coach is an idiot. No compete from the players.
It is not the same era of orange...it is the worst era in franchise history.

I would’ve preferred someone outside of the org but there are valid reasons to keep Mattingly as manager for another season. Ultimately if they don’t refresh the bullpen and lineup it really doesn’t matter who the manager is anyway.
PP units:
Zegras, Foerster, Martone, Bunting, Jiricek
Tippett, Michkov, Dvorak, Barkey, Drysdale
So the Michkov/Zegras PP experiment lasted not even two weeks before they broke it up. Welp.
Lucky or good?
Dallas has 75% of the 5v5 goals on about half the chances. Calgary is the opposite.
And the Devils (of course) are on the wrong side of it: 56.7% of the chances, 38.5% of the goals.
In 06-07, we started 1-6-1. Hitchcock, coming off of 107, 101, and 101 point seasons, got fired and Clarke stepped down as GM.
Stevens and Lavy both got canned for a hell of a lot less than this.
What are we waiting for? What more do we need to see?
I see some fans want the Flyers to trade players... would have to work around a lot of clauses:
-Konecny: NMC through 2030-31, 14-team NTC in 2031-32 and 2032-33
-Couturier: NMC through 2028-29, 10-team NTC in 2029-30
-Sanheim: Full NTC this season, 12-team NTC through 2030-31
-Dvorak: Full NTC through 27-28, 20-team NTC in 28-29, 5-team NTC in 29-30
-Tippett: 10-team NTC through 2029-30
-Vladar: Full NMC through 2028-29, 15-team NTC in 2029-30, 10-team NTC in 2030-31, 5-team NTC in 2031-32

4th worst shot differential in the history of the sport through the first six games. I don’t mind if my teams lose if the product is at least watchable. This team is not at all watchable. A change needs to be made.
Fewest goals scored through the first six games in franchise history. Winless through six games. No reason to worry though, I’m sure Tocc’s system will start working soon!
