The flyers would do this. It’s time to make the push now. Gargantuan balls

That’s not going to be easy one thing torts will do is have them ready to hit the ground running as we all know
- Just5

For sure, we can hope . Kind of felt like a lot of things went right for that start last year though

so who is he? the player who was hot early or the player who was cold later?

end of the day he is a complimentary winger.

Why don't you tell the board what your expectations are for joel going forward? seems easy enough no?

- hello it's me 2050


Joel is a Hexy pick so he's automatically a stud regardless of how he plays. I've always been a big Farabee fan but he didn't play well down the stretch when we needed him most. Of course "the great one" will blame Torts for that since they were so worn down at that point of the season.

He and Attard looked like they belonged when they were the 3rd pairing.

I agree. I liked how they played and wish Torts would have left both of them in every game down the stretch.

Finally listened to the Jason Myrtetus video Bill posted today. I get it, we all miss the Flyers being good and making the playoffs. But trying a quick fix doesn’t work. Does he or anyone else really think if they trade for Chychrun and Necas they’ll go on a deep playoff run? Hell, let’s give that to them, and say those additions win them a round or even 2. Are we content with that? Let’s say the next 10 years, Flyers make the playoffs every year and make the conf finals twice and make the 2nd round another 2 times. Are we all happy with that? For all of you who love Flyers tradition, is it honoring Ed Snider to make the goal just making the playoffs and crossing our fingers they win a round or 2? Myrtetus says now’s the time to go for it! Why? Because his kid is apathetic to Flyers hockey? Wasn’t signing Hayes going for it? Trading for Ellis? Trading for Risto? Trading for Niskanen? Giving Couturier the big contract? Signing JVR? Holding onto Giroux, Voracek, and Simmonds way too long? Signing Filppula? Trading for Andy MacDonald? Signing Mark Streit? Signing Lecavalier?

OR would you rather see the Flyers suck the next few seasons, acquiring top picks and hopefully drafting some elite players, and then in say 2027ish start an 8+ year run where they’re a legitimate cup contender and possibly win a couple cups?

Farabee scored 22 goals this past season, with the slump he had. Do yourself a favor and look and see how many 20 goal scorers each team has.
- MJL


This is the point I'm trying to make. Is Farabee's ceiling a 20 goal scorer? Is that enough for what we need? What else does he bring if he's not scoring?

I feel that he is a tremendously frustrating player on our roster.

The problem with Farabee is he is not a player that can generate his own offense. He does not have a great shot and does not score off the rush. He is a guy that scores garbage goals, tip ins, rebounds, and weak side tap ins. I don’t see a lot of offensive upside. I think he can be a good 3rd line winger, checks well, can kill penalties, chip in a goal here and there but he is not a top 6 forward IMO.

He did fall down the stretch, the team did too. He is entering his prime, I do think he is a 25-30 goal, 50 point player, could have a few better years and a down year too.

Edit, needs a consistent NHL center

Who exactly played well down the stretch?

Was it just Farabee or was the entire team gassed/playing like poop?

Yea, really. It wasn't just one person. The team was gassed.

or maybe the team isnt very good and played over their heads earlier in the year. Not buying the gassed excuse 100%.

every team is tired. pressure was on and the team/coaches folded rather easily.

I get what you’re saying, but they’ve sucked for so long that, yeah, I’d be pretty happy with the scenario you laid out. Playoffs every year. A couple of deep runs. (frank) yeah! The Flyers will never commit to a real rebuild (and there’s no guarantee that the results would be any better; see 76ers). It’s just not going to happen. Maybe they just need to get back to their root? Just f-ing go for it. It might be what made us all fans in the first place. Just a bunch of fun dumbasses trying to win. The Flyers were best when they were anti-establishment and didn’t do things the right way.

Need to find a center to play with him. No disrespect to Poehling, but he cannot do the job.

Thankfully the Flyers can now stop pretending they are rebuilding.

Also this kid hasn’t earned anything on the roster. Nothing will be handed to him. Would like to see him get some reps with Deslauriers and Poehling to show him how hockey is played the right way.

If he produces and drives play on the 4th line then he can maybe move up.

Omg. That would be huge if he’s indeed coming over. He could also be in the process of being sent to the front lines in Ukraine. Haha
