Frost has overcome every obstacle put in his way. From bad coaching to severe injury and missing a full season. What evidence do you have that he is not the most driven guy?

You crack me up! You put the full responsibility on Torts for Frost being benched. You can say whatever you want and give me any stats you want, but I have seen many games in his career where he appeared disengaged and invisible on the ice. If he was a self driven guy he wouldn't have been benched by Torts cause he uses that as a tool to light fires under suspected slackers. Thanks! How's that Coots contract looking?

Ah, yes. Forgot about the NMC. Classic Flyers.

Welp, a future expensive 3rd line center, then. Maybe even 4th in a few years if they select a good one in the upcoming draft.

That would be some wild poop.

Your post here is an exercise in a lack of logic. Not to mention showing an ignorance of the history of John Tortorella. Then you finish with a childish remark. As far what you think you see. All I can do is laugh.

That's rich!! Some dude that's NEVER strapped on a pair of skates in his life is gonna tell me what I'm watching when I watch a hockey game. What I think I see? How do you get your head through doors with that ego? Are you Frost's big brother or something? It's amazing how you stick to your agendas even after they are torn to shreds by other posters on here. Did you or did you not like the Coots signing when it was done?

I didn’t watch the whole thing. I know it’s not going to be about any specific player. It’s supposed to be about a team. So if it’s the positive addition of Michkov or the subtraction of a certain goalie, I don’t see either being in play in this video.

Was it the absolute collapse and how they played like dead fish on the ice as a unit? Did they fail to mention that?

Shame. Well, I don’t see them trying to focus on that in their hype video. That’s what this was, right? A new season hype video?

Oh, that’s what was missing. Hype. Hype in the hype video.

Tell ya what I don’t like in a hype video - My team golfing throughout half of it. I don’t like my team being associated with (frank)ing golfing. I know you’re trying to show camaraderie, but all I see is my team GOLFING.

Christ. Who thought that was a good idea?

We'll start with you providing the evidence that I have never strapped on a pair of skates in my life. Then we'll deal with the rest.

Calm down, you two.

I see you’re both in regular season form.

Put that in the video. Phillywhiteout and MJL take no days off. Been preparing for the puck to drop all offseason.

No golfing with these two. Straight business.

Ha ha, was supposed to go golfing this afternoon actually, but it's currently pouring here and not looking good for the golf game.

Yeah, the weather is garbage. Storms gonna bring more a few days after it’s done punishing the Florida panhandle.

As if the Floridian panhandle needs more punishment.

It was just a hunch. I may be wrong, but I may be right.

Yeah, I'm kind of a weather geek. I feel terrible for those folks down there. That area keeps getting pounded with canes and this one looks like a bad one.

Wait, was it Gold? Is that what was missing?

I mean, we were the gold standard after all. Now I just see the title as The Standard.

It’s the gold. We lost the gold, and they failed to mention it.

I’m going with gold, please. Final answer.

So capitalizing NEVER was indicating a hunch you had? Pretty much an example of your foolish posting.

No days off

Everybody!

So was it “Gold” or what? Because they got the golfing down. Definitely associated our team with golfing. Well done, Flyers.

I actually thought that you admitted to never playing the game, but perhaps I'm mistaken. I really don't know how you totally support Frost though and seem to put NONE of the blame on the player.

Your comments on both topics here are incorrect. I think you have an issue in what you think is the case instead of actually having the facts. So in just a few posts here, what have you actually proven if you're being honest with yourself.

I have proven that I don't live on here and remember what every poster says on here. You know, it's called life outside of hockey buzz. FWIW, I don't recall you ever placing any blame on Frost for his issues with Torts. It's all on big bad Torts!

Why do you obsess over Frost when he has objectively outperformed Farabee in the two full seasons under Torts while playing a more important position and making much less money? It's really weird.

I don’t know, but, oh boy, looks like Torts has a bit of a crush on Luchanko.
