Flyers Twitter is Soliciting Canucks Twitter for “Fire Tocchet” Chants
Published:
The Flyers lost in overtime to the Calgary Flames on Sunday evening. Tate McRae was in attendance:
She saw the Flyers go up 3-2 and then concede a short-handed third period goal to Joel Farabee, who now has a mustache and looks like a Gen Z bro douche. All he needs now is a rope hat and some golf clubs and he’ll be ready for the Pat McAfee invitational in Scottsdale. Speaking for the Crossing Broad staff, we liked the Young Beezer better when he was wearing orange and black and looking like a young Layne Staley.
In truth, it was not the worst Flyers performance of all time. In a normal season, you’d take a point on the front end of a Western Canada back-to-back, but this isn’t a normal season. The Flyers stink and the Flames are just okay. They had two points in the bag and fell apart late in the third again. They probably would have lost in regulation if not for Dan Vladar’s play.
The Fly Guys are now 4-10-5 with 13 points. The fans pooled enough money on Friday to do a “Fire Rick Tocchet” flyover banner at an upcoming home game. There’s about $4,300 extra in donations, which will go to charity, so good job on that front. Now Tony Escargot, the ringleader, is soliciting Canucks fans to get a “Fire Tocchet” chant going in their barn, in an act of hockey fan solidarity:
Tocchet coached the Canucks from 2022 to 2025. They were brilliant in 2023-2024, and finished with 109 points and the #1 seed in the Pacific before losing to Edmonton in 7 games in the second round. Tocchet won the Jack Adams. Then Vancouver missed the playoffs the next year and he left the organ-eye-zation. Now the Canucks are complete ass. They have 7 points this season and finished with 58 last year. 58! And Elias Pettersson doesn’t look like the All-Star we saw just a few years ago.
Puck drops at 9:30 p.m. EST. We’ll see if the British Columbians get a chant going inside their barn.
