This is Going Off The Rails... 

I don't think we can really comment on Fodotov going to the wrong net.... they don't swap in KHL OT which is what he's been used to.

Torts is awesome. He's the one dude in the past 20 years, who absolutely demands accountability from his players, the media, anyone and everyone. I'm not a believer in coddling professional athletes. You have a job to do, whether you win or lose, you have to show that you can do your job, for the stupid amount of money you make. If they play their hearts out and lose, he will stand up for them, and give them the credit they would deserve. If they he's calling them, well, then I have zero doubt that he has reason to. Torts has always demanded this of his players over his career. If players respond negatively to it, then he's right, they don't have what it takes to play in those situations.

I never liked the Flyers until this year, the underdog story combined with the endless entertainment that is Torts… I really hope they make the playoffs, they are hella fun.

The clip of the goalie in the wrong net was gold! Love Torts! They miss Walker. Hope they make it!

Man everything went to hell for the Flyers when Sean Walker got traded. Before the trade deadline, I was 100% sure that these guys had a playoff spot. Now, there's a real chance these guys won't even get in.

Wait, Flyers have questions about their goalies? That's unheard of!

Not a Flyers fan but really rooting for them this year. They are a great story and I love Torts.

Torts doesn’t have a super star. He’s trying hard with this team. To struggle now with the playoffs on the line is unthinkable. We should be playing our best hockey. Come on flyers we can do it.

Owen tippet is really good also a 6'7 goalie is insane to have reminds me of Ben Bishop

83 points for 3rd seed??? Wake up Metro division that's sad lol

Considering it’s year 1 of a 3 year rebuild…. I’m happy as a flyers fan. This season has been fun to watch. I’ll be gutted when we’re knocked out but I can’t complain after enduring the last decade. Future looks fun in Philly

Tbh both toccet and torts deserve the jack adams

Torts has had them playing play off style hockey all year just to compete with more talented teams. Fatigue is setting in and they are having difficulty playing that north south style of hockey that torts uses. Hopefully they get rewarded for their efforts and make it to the first round.

I have no clue how it's going to end, but the Metro imploding has been super interesting to watch. I could legitimately see the 3rd Metro spot be under 90 points with how spots 3-7 have been playing. There's a solid shot Detroit ends up with more points in WC2 then whoever finishes in that Metro 3 spot. Any belief I had in Philly is fading fast. In a heated playoff race with under 10 games to go they lost in Montreal 4-1 and at home versus Chicago 5-1. Two of the bottom teams in the league, the latter of which had a sub .200 points% on the road, and they lost both handily. Their remaining schedule looks easiest of any of the teams fighting for the last 2 east spots, but I'm questioning every single game for them now. If they lose even 2 of their next 3 against Buffalo, Columbus, and Montreal they're in big trouble.

NASA had to get weather clearance for John's head launch after.The game😂😂

I'm a Pens fan, and we all know they will never make it to the playoffs. But I do hope the Flyers make it in ... they've been quite good and very competitive for most of the year.

Dont let them go to that U2 concert....oh wait...

When will people realize torts has a short shelf life where ever he goes.

I agree with him. Everyone in that team is depending on the other player to give more, I don’t think this team has what needs to get to where they have to be

Torts need for attention outweighs his need to win. He can't stand the thought that anyone but TORTS would be the face of the team. Philly deserves him.

YESSSSS JOHNNY HAWKEY FLYERS CONTENT

Torts only move is to piss off the stars of his team it worked once 20 years ago and he hasn’t learned a new trick since

Tort is the only reason why this team is relevant. He squeezed everything out of this group of players. You guys should be thankful.

I'm so glad he wasn't here in Vancouver very long. The guy is a Diva and was a huge distraction. Tocchett is the exact opposite of Torts. Calm, Collected, great with the media and we love him for it.

I am a Leafs fan and I like the Flyers. If they won the cup that would be cool.

Who is embarrassing here. I think we'll be seeing a new coach in Philly next Year.

Off the rails is where the fly guys do their best work.

Torts still cannot explain why he healthy-scratched their captain. He’s made himself the centre of the entire franchise. And I think the players are picking up on that, and it’s killing their motivation and undercutting any attempt he tries to light a fire under them. Why would you listen to a coach who seems to care more about being the centre of attention than getting the team in the playoffs?

Torts needs to be in a fight with the universe in order for him to win that’s just how he operates

Curious to see how things go. Roy isn’t quite so hard on his Islanders publicly, but the same could be said about them. Let’s see which coaching approach gets the Wildcard spot….

Imagine if they had Michkov right now too😂

"Some of these players don't have it in them to play in these types of situations..." All of Philly and Torts looking right at Frost. It's great you got the tying goal. That was clutch. But coughing it up in front of your net for the OT goal, the turnover that lead to the near empty netter minutes before that, I'd freakin bench or healthy scratch the heck out of you. I'm going to install a seat belt on the bench just for you.

The Flyers were never a cup or playoffs contender.. this is a great video for New Jersey, Islanders, Pittsburgh, Ottawa..... But not for a last place rebuild team iver achieving all year

While they did leapfrog Washington for the third metro spot, Washington has 3 games in hand on them, and the islanders 2 (I think)

Is it just me, or is EVERY playoff team losing to the teams that have struggled most of the year? NYR, COL, FLA, etc are all losing to the likes of CBJ, ANA, and PIT. Such a weird season.

Torts fits Philly like an OJ glove 🔪

I would give anything to have Tortorella coach in Buffalo

It will always be off the rails, off and on, with Torts as the HC - he's mercurial.

As a flyers fan, I 100% agree with Torts. He's one of the best things to happen to them in awhile

Philly needs this fire lit under them. The Flyers used to be a force to be reckoned with. They have been soft since 2012. Torts is making Philly relevant at least. It has been a fun season.

I would be disappointed if the Flyers don’t make the playoffs. But I should be happy even if they don’t because they were not supposed to be anywhere near a playoff spot this season. Being a sports fan can drive you crazy.

Omg you beat me to it! W FLYERS CONTENT

NOBODY ever expected the Flyers to make the playoffs. They were close then they lost their goalie (Carter Hart). Next year perhaps the Flyers will make that jump to being a playoff team. I like the management team of Jonesy and Danny, and Torts has done a great job! Flyers indeed have a bright future. In a couple of years the Devils, Flyers, even Buffalo and the Red Wings will all be very good again. 😁

I think they’ll get a wild card spot

Motown Philly back again

I think Torts needs to realize his comments are great for headlines, but not for the mindsets of the players. They wouldn't be their if they weren't winners.

The flyers are done. The power play is done. The goaltending is not happening right now. Hart was selfish,it you did nothing why aren’t you helping this team to get in the playoffs. The flyers are a mess. The coach can’t stop or score goals. We need to take a good look at ourselves. We’re losing to a lesser opponent. What happened we played the good teams tough. Now or never, time to win out

Torts has always been a goof

Think the Flyers earned the point vs the Isles. Could not believe how NYI iced the puck instead of springing for the empty net until the Philly goal at the end of regulation. Flyers have a chance, especially if stellar goaltending happens.

Torts is the BEST. I hope he coaches as long as The Great Scotty Bowman did.

The horrid OT turnovers they're doing and in key situations is very worrisome.

Keep up the content❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

He's hockey dad. Fucking love him.

Phi has not had a goalie in two decades

The flyers have the easiest schedule,they gotta win out,if not they have choked,end of story!Torts ain’t a long term solution!

Love torts flyers needed this and new goalie is good he proved it last night they didn't even get a shot on goal in ot like they kept the puck in their end watch ever game and that second period was the worst all year and game before that worst game of the year something has to be said coots don't seem that interested after crying about being benched cause he was tired and last night he falls down and walks off ice never comes back so the dont play after season trade them or release them lots of young talent and this is just the start nobody expected them to make playoffs and their right there 6 games left back to back the two more away then last 2 home all wins watch only loss maybe rangers in ny should win 5 of 6 thats ten points and wild card or 3rd.

the Flyers embarrassed the Canucks twice this year so i’d like to see them miss

Sabres coach Don Granato is, they say, the opposite of Torts - a player's coach, team loves him, doesn't call out players publicly. Many Sabres' fans now want a John Tortorella-type coach. IMHO, bad idea.

Leafs fan who is rooting for the Flyers just because I like Torts.

Fedotov!

Torts and his staff are the hardest workers and the only passion Philly has. Torts is cursed with a bunch of prima Donna Jonesy and Reillys. Bring Simmonds back from retirement

How about them uniforms-you wanna talk about off the rails haha…they looked like they were wearing a kindergartners art project last night! 🤣

All im gonna say is I’d play for torts.

if u are going to hire a controversial "asshole" coach thats disliked by alot of players, he better be the bill belichick of the nhl

They just don't have the talent and their coach calling them out every game is probably hurting them. Probably a few players want the season to end so they can get away from their abusive coach.

Get the season back on the rails? They are on the rails and performing how they should be. This first 7/8 was amazing but it wasn’t reality.

They are still the flyers man.

He keeps saying stuff like that, the players aren’t going to play to where the front office have no choice but to fire him in which case the players may want that to happen.

Torts may be the last true coach in the league by the time he retires or is forced out for any of his ways by the "new" nhl narrative...this is a dying breed of coach seeing the end of players playing for the team and wins and not just the individual awards/money

As a lifelong Flyers, this is typical Flyers and why the team has been stagnant for a decade. We are in a rebuild so this was a throwaway season where you play the young guys, and get a top 5 pick. Tortorella is the wrong coach for this team. We are waiting 2 more years for Michkov, along with have massive cap room that summer too. Instead we have a coach that is burning bridges with every player, including the Captain, and is going to be fired when the Flyers are ready to really compete. I don’t think the Flyers are collapsing, the cracks were showing as we’ve had the worst PP all season. That was eventually going to come back and bite you. So we will get a mid first round pick, either make the playoffs and lose in the first round or miss the playoffs. This is why the Flyers haven’t won a Cup in 49 years, they REFUSE to fully commit to a rebuild and we continue in mediocrity.

And they keep hiring torts.

I LOVE TORTS

pretty cold takes

Flyers will make it. Torts is right about everything. They are NHL players they can not crack under pressure.

I feel like torts might have some sort of disability. Somethings wrong there.

Torts is just gonna Torts until they fire him and he gets to go home and collect his pay cheque anyway.

Flyers have been a giant disappointment for 50 years

I'd like them to make the playoffs, but they don't have a chance in hell if they get there.

Hey the leafs were doing great for a while now they are kind of bad lol.

Fedotov played well? Uhh he played fantastic, compared to Ersson who much like Cootsy, is a shell of himself.

Philly and Wash in the playoffs ! Det outside looking in

Love torts but sabers will be tough

Torts is an embarrassment to hockey and has been forever. He is not a leader and should be sent to the garbage dumpster like his teams. On the other hand, I love seeing the Flyers phail.

You need to be demanding as a coach. Look at Columbus without him, completely in the gutter

Nope i dont think will make it. Been thinking for over a week they will get bounched out and detroit will take that wildcard spot with Washington taking 3rd. And i hate to say detroit.

So many bad comments are a disgrace i love my flyers no matter what happens

Talk about how the blues might cetch LA.

For him, its all about not taking responsibility for his actions. He's shown time and time again that all he knows is how to bully his players, not lead them. Its all about protecting his pathetic, fragile ego.

I like Torts.

they have such a bad power play no team is scared of their power play, even Chicago can walk all over them

Could be worse, Flyers fans. You could be Habs fans.

I'm really hoping this is all an act for the media and that he's way more constructive with his criticism in the room with the guys.

Hello

"This" bait.

I'm willing to bet this will be his last job. How many teams has he coached away the same story. Mabe he could look in the mirror.

more pens content

falling like Detroit lol forget trading for Erik Johnson, that's what happens under John Tortilla, scratching Atkinson and team captain and crying all the time, no wonder why they fell so hard

I think something happened in the locker room. When you see a team fold like this, it usually means some drama is going on in the locker room. Chris Pronger, Lindros, Recchi, etc...

Philly and Washington will make the playoffs. And promptly be demolished by NYR and Carolina

Fire the coach.
