Torts has his team playing above where you’d expect them. Frustrating as a wings fan in this one, but credit to flyers. Both teams played great. Loss of Larkin really exposes our lack of high end center depth.

[@Vestu]

Nice to see Torts getting some well-earned recognition.

[@shoresy4084]

Wings are now 1-5 since signing Kane, who has a whopping 2 points.

[@tt128556]

That was to be expected. A mid-30's player coming back from a career-altering surgery, forced into the lineup at the cost of team dynamics.

[@noname-nobody1247]

What you expect? He's washed-up

[@fvvdvgdfvdfv]

He also plays 19min per night which hurts the team offensively and defensively. Put him on the 4th line and take away his powerplay icetime until he starts playing better. Detroit cant afford any passengers and need to score on the powerplay to win games.

[@icedo1013]

Typical brainless rube conflating the signing of Kane with the absence of an entire top line of forwards. Wait till Larkin and Perron and Compher are back and in rhythm, making judgments at any point before then is a purely emotional outburst.

[@cameronfranke8566]

Shut up ,he’s been our best player since his debut

[@mvwoon]

Wings offense definitely not on it tonight. Pretty good goaltending!

[@JarradBruessel32]

Philly is 18-1-1 against detroit in philly since 1998.

[@shoresy4084]

@@JarradBruessel32that’s crazy, considering how dominant Detroit was from 1998 to 2010

[@icedo1013]

It's so frustrating that the two best games from Husso, the single biggest bugaboo the fans have griped about thus far, were sullied and nullified by the total dearth of offense, something that until this point had seen almost no slowdown. The two games that 2-3 goals could have won the game are the two we score fewest. Ugh.

If you think it's because of Kane you might want to get some glasses. And their number one player has been out. It's not always black and white.

telling me the night that both goalies play amazing, all the wings shoot blanks!! Erikson played a great game just surprised since it was the opposite story in a previous game

[@DisturbicMusic]

it's Ersson not Erikson.

[@darthollpheist1156]

Yeah..... and ERSSON has been great all season for the most part. He had a bad start in his first one. Second one wasn't great.... but he's been on his head ever since.

[@billblake9665]

There will be playoff hockey in Philly this spring,......no maybe about that fact. The puck will be dropped at the wells fargo center this spring. This is a damn good team here....50 years i been watching......this is a real TEAM,,,,,they aren't going away they are going places....they have more in store for us,,,,,Remember willie B told you baby I know what im talking about THE FLYERS ARE REAL

[@IRanOutOfPhrases]

Kane is trash, lol The play at 3:10 is just full of, "What are you even doing?" He actually starts off in good position and gets an easy interception. Then he just lazily pushes the puck to the middle of the ice where its easier for a Flyer to get it, which triggers a 2v1 the other way. And then despite being the second furthest one back, Kane ends up being the 4th Wing back to chase them down. Goalie bails Kane out. 3:39 is another one. Wish more of the beginning to that could be seen, but his positioning and way he handles the puck here are just all wrong. Easy turnover leads to another grade-A chance for Philly. 8:06 rebound pops up the middle. Detroit can't get a handle on it. Kane was coming back into the zone. Then just sidesteps out to the boards and lets his man go right up the middle for a big shot. Kane could have easily gone to the puck himself, but just didn't. He did this stuff all season long with CHI and then NYR last season. No idea why people keep seeking him out. He sinks your team.

[@Fourrings80]

Fun scrappy team.

[@Lelouch999]

Yzerman traded too many of our young identity players for these goofball veterans that suck balls just because they barely missed playoffs last year. He’s lost his edge. Kane signing completely disrupted the teams chemistry and flow.
