'I Feel Bad for the Fans': Rick Tocchet Addresses Terrible Flyers Performance

This off-season, the Philadelphia Flyers made plenty of changes, but the biggest of all was behind the bench, with the team bringing in a person very familiar with the organization in Rick Tocchet.

With the addition of Trevor Zegras to a team full of exciting young players, hopes were high heading into this season, and overall, with a record of 6-5-1, they've shown plenty of potential through their first 12 games.

However, their last performance was perhaps one of their worst this season, as the team fell to the struggling Calgary Flames 2-1 at home, with the team managing just one goal late in the third period, tallying a total of just 18 shots in what was a very boring game overall.

That was something that Tocchet addressed following the game, and to put it bluntly, he wasn't impressed with his team, stating that he felt sorry for the fans who had to sit through that performance.

Before their last two tough losses, the Flyers had won five of their last six games heading into that one, showing that they can get it done, but after that defeat to the Flames, there's been plenty of negativity swirling around this squad.

Ultimately though, they've taken a step or two in the right direction already in 2025/26, and if they can put that one behind them and rebound against Montreal on Tuesday, they'll go a long way to showing that they can be a potential Wild Card team in the Eastern Conference this season.
