Lol! What’s it mean to be a Flyer? A perennial loser? Never seen a franchise live off of two seasons from almost 60 years ago like the Flyers and their fans do.
As a TBL fan, Torts is one of my favorite coaches ever. He brings the best out of his players, I’m excited to see if he can bring back that early 00s style of Flyers hockey!
As a Coach his greatest strength is identifying what the roster can do well. He then develops a game plan to meet the teams strengths. I think this is why he is an incredible "transition coach" thriving in his early days on the job. Sadly though reminds me a bit of the late and great Pat Burns (RIP), they have a shelf life and must be let go. Go Tortz .....
whoever knows what a "neutral zone trap" is will win the cage fight. Torts and Mike Keenan are the only two coaches who never use the trap or any type of strategy.
Looking forward to watching more of these! Hopefully the production value can continue to grow to match the in arena stuff. The VO is written very newsy, and the segments felt a little disjointed. Gotta hide those lavaliere mics a little better in the sit downs as well, and I think could/should the BTS a little more stylistically. Love the approach though! LGF
I love Bill Clement's voice, is that Bill narrating? I believe it is. I love his voice. My autobiographical audiobook would be narrated by him. Go Flyers. Get that Standard up and get it stuck!
Fletcher needs to go. Name one positive move this guy has made...? Signing Rasmus Ristolainen to a long term deal finished it from my perspective. Sabres tried to unload this stiff for the better part of 4 seasons.
As a wild fan chuck fletcher set this franchise back a decade with all his stupid moves. The parise/suter deals will be biting or cap space for three more years. How that moron still has a job is beyond me...?
Not only that but how many high draft picks has even giving away for nothing in return smh ..I don't think we have a second round picks for the next 3 years
Morgan Frost hasn't played to anything near his draft slot/potential, and thus fans are already split on the guy. Dude wearing a Spurs hat during his interview sure as shit isn't going to help him in that regard. I get that these dudes are from all over the world, but they PLAY in PHILLY, and I feel like there needs to be an awareness on both the players' part (and the _team's_ part) of what the fans here appreciate from the guys representing their teams. Given that the on-ice product isn't likely to sell tickets this season (I'd be surprised if they won 30 games), you'd think the team would be making *damned* sure these guys were doing everything they could to be relatable to this fanbase. If you're gonna lose a bunch of games, you're a hell of lot more likely to fill seats if the fans feel like they can relate to the players. If you're gonna wear an NBA hat in an interview, maybe make sure it's a Sixers hat, yeah? This is incredibly low-hanging fruit. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Wasnt crazy about the Torts signing. Really wanted Bruce Cassidy from Boston. But i think for right now? This team? Torts is the right guy to start bringing back Flyers hockey
Agreed he is right guy right now for a pretty low period in Flyers history. Let him develop the youngsters and then bring in a longer term solution, perhaps a Cassidy type 2-3 years down the road?
@@goleafsgo8496 well i live in Boston and watch a lot of Bruins games and from what i understand Cassidy was really hard on the young players to the point where they didnt bring him back because the young players couldnt play under him
Ya, I have no expectations for this flyers team and if you are a flyers fan you hope this team tanks. Should be interesting with Torts at least. No pucks is some hard ass shit, gotta love it
@@bradchristmas5104 Bedard’s numbers in the WHL are obscene, outpacing even McDavid iirc. Not only has he produced at an obscene level (didn’t he score twice in his WHL debut at 15 years old?!), everything I’ve read about him says that the kid is *very* mature for his age (both in terms of his physical development AND his attitude/work ethic). Barring disastrous injury or mental issues (and assuming he doesn’t do anything awful that gets him exposed as a basket case to be avoided), it’s hard to imagine Bedard will be anything other than a generational talent at the NHL level.
@@WafflesASAP McDavid wasn't in the WHL? He was in the OHL. Do you know how many players put up "McDavid" like numbers in any minor league, or junior league, and never amounted to anything in the NHL? Loads of players, there are actually more players who put up those types of numbers, who sucked in the NHL, rather than players who did put up those types of numbers, and stayed consistent in the NHL.
the flyers need a systems coach like Joel Quenneville, Bob Hartley, Lemaire, Hitchcock,... The flyers need to employ the neutral zone trap like 1-3-1 or 1-4, Torts unfortunately does not do that, instead he employs pressure, 2-1-2 format like the late 70s bruins and Keenan coached teams of the 80s and 90s.
"My door is always open..." and sometimes I will slam it in your face. Love Torts. He will drain these guys out of every little bit of energy and then, they will hate him, and he will move on to another club.
Player: Hi I am Matt, first line centre… Torts: I don’t give a fuck who you think you are pip squeak, 20 laps backwards and don’t you skate on my clean lines!
I think now that coots is week to week, when they give him the go ahead, they should give him another week or two to rehabilitate a little more. Cause you never know 🤷♂️
Hate him or love him... he demands a lot but gets results. That Columbus team doesn't beat Tampa without Torts, let alone sweep them. Hell, they beat Toronto as well.
I'm 55 & a lifelong Flyers fan. Love Tortorella as coach, but the players are horrible. Worse yet, Fletcher as GM has never won anything. Narration by Bill Clement is the best thing about this! Nothing better than an old fashioned bag skate, and I was a goaltender
I don't see how things are going to get any better if the front office isn't entirely replaced. There is only so many players coaches and staff you can go through before you realize the problem is not on the ice. here's a few legitimate questions... How many times is holmgren allowed to fail upwards into a better position in the organization? How many players is Clark going to throw under the bus? How many coaches hands are going to be tied by the governing staff? How much more bad arbitration is going to be made? How many more star players are going to be traded away for journeyman? How many bad contracts signed? How many more players are going to be pigeonholed into roles they're not comfortable with? How many more times is the front office going to demoralize the players and staff? How many more bs answers are we as fans going to put up with? How many more times is the front office going to skirt accountability? How many more excuses? And finally... When are we as fans going to wake up and realize that the people in the front office are selling the team down the river so they can get fucking rich? I no longer buy the games or the merch...I've been a lifelong fan for almost 50 years and until that front office goes, I'm fucking done. Those dumb fucks in the front office clearly don't even know what hockey is. They've proved it time and time again. And don't give me some clarky won the cup crap. I've been on that train and it's been sitting at the station for years.#raisethestandard#officeout
Never is the answer. Comcast could careless about the flyers. They have no direction. Dead franchise. Move on I did. Nothing like the tim Kerr etc flyers!
@@dutchstallion8518 hes great when expectations are low . Some of those Columbus teams he had were not great but he got them to playoffs . His year in Vancouver was disappointing but that team was over the hill anyways
The Flyers' new gloves look terrible. If the NHL forced them to change their colorway from the previous all-black gloves with the white letters on the cuff roll, then at the very least they should have just switched over to their third jersey gloves which were all-black with orange letters on the cuff roll. The Flyers don't play the Ducks that often anyway, so they would not have conflicted with the Ducks enough for it to really matter.
Holy cow, Flyers is gona end up dead-last in the east. In Europe we kind if laugh at the system they have over in america / canada that you can end up last in league and not get ruled out of NHL. Wich makes it realy, alot of "whatever if we loose" kind of mentality in alot of clubs. Before the league even starts all owners know they are gona play NHL forever. Its a realy wierd non-competetive system realy.. but i guess all north american people are gona say we are wrong in europe with how the leagues works over here. That would not be a shocker xD.
Very meh. Great videography, but aside from 1minute of Torts at the beginning, it was the same rehashed broll of gym workouts and blase player quotes. Definitely not an inside, all-access feature
I love watching this kind of content honestly. But I think we should be clear here lol. This group is just so random and is comprised of absolute average NHL players. I mean Morgan Frost would still be in the AHL in about 20 other organizations. Just as an example . And Hart is a VERY over rated young Tender too. Soooo good luck Philly .
Torts is a real dude. hate or love it he brings you the truth
You going to be hating it when he brings your team to a last place finish again while destroying the already weak locker room.
Absolutely. Being brutally honest is a rare thing these days. Torts is an old school coach and they are a dying breed..
@@SurfinCowboy5615 Man couldnt agree more with whom I assume is a Rangers fan. 2nd Worst hire next to Fletcher.
@@SurfinCowboy5615 might be a good thing but that 7million dollar hayes contract doesn't help
We Loved Torts in Columbus!! Sad to see him leave because “some” players are sensitive little flowers!!
Torts letting them know what it means to be a Philadelphia Flyer. Always will be a fan of him. He was very good here in New York.
He also lifted CBJ from the gutter to wipe peak Tampa in the playoffs 4-0
Lol! What’s it mean to be a Flyer? A perennial loser? Never seen a franchise live off of two seasons from almost 60 years ago like the Flyers and their fans do.
@@SurfinCowboy5615 you mean 74 and 75? that would be 47 and 48 years ago.

As a TBL fan, Torts is one of my favorite coaches ever. He brings the best out of his players, I’m excited to see if he can bring back that early 00s style of Flyers hockey!
I'm happy you guys got Bill Clement to narrate this
Missed his voice
Great video! Thanks for the hype. Love this team through the highs AND lows despite how hard that can be. Let's go Flyers!
what highs?
What are you smoking?? They haven’t won in almost 50 years. 50!!!!!!
I’ve been depressed since Clarke and snider threw lindros out ,,,,,,no number 1 defenseman since mark Howe still
As a Rangers fan I feel your pain. I live in Bensalem. I love Torts he is a great
Coach he will not stand for mediocrity
This is the exact coach Philly needs right now, Torts is gonna be awesome this year. I'd love to see them get into the playoffs.
Man I loved playing for coaches like Torts. Stands up for his guys
Hockey players seem more humble and down to earth than most professional athletes.
I’m from st.Louis but the flyers have always been one of my favorite organizations in the east… exciting to see tortzzz bringing back that passion..

This is the coach we needed with Hextall upstairs. Happy the Flyers have a coach to show some passion and purpose. Let’s fackin go boys lfg
Seriously looking forward to seeing Torts reshape this team. He's a proven winner and can be counted on to get results. Let's Go Flyers !! !!!
He's such a beauty, man. Would love a guy like this in Toronto.
Leafs would never hire him because their culture is no good since early 00s
@@SN2903 nope, sure isn't.

Amazing video quality!!
Torts fits Philly sports fan base so well
I'm not really hyped, but anything can happen. I'm ready for this season.
really the negative shit on here has to go we all know its going be long season but lets enjoy watching the kids grow
Good group good coach have faith
Nice, love these types of videos. Keep them coming
Flyers are on my watch list for sure.
Waiting for the next episodes:
The Standard: High on Hopium ep.2
The Standard: Cage fight, Tortorella vs. DeAngelo, Two man enter one man leave ep.3
My $ is on Torts.

I Love Torts I wish we could get him to coach our Hawks!!!
No you don’t
Love this guy. Another Keenan
i like it....hard work...win or learn
We need this explicit torts is a guy we all wanna hear uncensored
I’m a sharks fan but this is awesome that there doing these episodes

If they buy in to Torts, they win 35+ games. If they get in their head and stay there before the AS break, they win

Die Hard Ranger fan here but have always been a secret Flyers fan somehow.
“The FUCKING Philadelphia Flyers”
Exactly.
Die hard flyers fan here.
Have always respected the rangers, LundqvisT is one of my all time faves.
Best goal song in the league by far in my opinion.

I guess that’s what i’m saying Brooksy!
Tortz is a fucking legend man

BIG TORTS!
You got Torts! Say goodbye to Harts confidence! It’s going to be fun to watch the star players try to bail. Let the melt down clock begin…
How many gig is this
God dammit I love this team they’ve had a pretty shitty go of it the last couple of years but like tortz said it’s the fucking Philadelphia Flyers man
"My door is always open..." and sometimes I will slam it in your face. Love Torts. He will drain these guys out of every little bit of energy and then, they will hate him, and he will move on to another club.
in a best case scenario, they will have a decent regular season and then quick early playoff exit due to exhaustion.
Torts baby
im a habs fan here for the torts
No body gonna talk abt how Scott Laughton said he was tired after causually playing hockey for a media day😂 good luck Flyers fans
Scott Laughton sucks lol I wish he wasn’t on the team..same with cam Atkinson, both players are slow and trash

Does anyone else get a weoird vibe from Chuck Fletcher? T-1000 up in here
ITS BILL CLEMENT FOR ME!
