I still dont see Rolston being here next year.
- Stripes77

why?

They are playing above .500 under him
kids are responding to him

he uses his back up goalie

he is not afraid to bench a player

and for once the team is working hard

why the hell would you not bring him back if regier stays?

Its a small sample but yes. But Rolston seems to want the guys to play a more simple game. You dont pay a guy 5.5M to play simple, you can get a nice simple game from a guy like Pardy. Myers needs to be a difference maker.

Hopefully he can turn it around next year.

Agreed. I think he has shown he can be a difference maker, I just think he's a confused player on a confused team

Its a very hard sale to the fans that basically Darcy 2.0 is going to be the coach of the future. Especially if Darcy stays. We have enough issues with one Darcy we dont need another Darcy behind the bench.

Plus he loves Hecht

you really think he'll be back? I'd be very surprised.

The team has been through a lot this season. The lockout, players were not game ready and out of shape (most), couldn't win a game for nothing , coach gets the boot, trade day coming up, players getting moved, captain traded . Now that the dust has settled they seem to be playing hockey and not have their heads in the clouds.

Are there any GM's available with some better hockey smarts? I honestly don't know.

Agree, which sucks for my hope of a top 3 pick

I've come to grips that Darcy will be here next year and I am ok with that (I would have liked him gone when Lindy got fired) that being said we dont need his clone behind the bench

Thats my opinion

Team not Myers directly. Yes Myers has been playing better but he has yet to even sniff how he was playing during his rookie season. It was a poor contract, and poor management by Darcy there. He tried to harness lightning in a bottle and it back fired.

Blaming Darcy on how Ruff handled Myers....an all new low.


it is pretty transparent your agenda with Regier.

I don't hate Rolston, but we should go after a better coach IMO. We can lure them with big money and it doesn't count against the cap... Also coaching a project can sometimes be desirable for a coach.

have you seen the effort since the boston game?

Tough call....not sure the decision has been made yet on Rolston. I think he gets another year

now this is funny

They are not standing around as much . They show some interest now. They seem to be realize that if the tape shows them coasting , RR has it in him to bump or sit said players.

We haven't had that .

I hope Scott is back next year. Not sure he has made a difference but it is nice to know someone is there if you need him.

6 home games, 3 away games...only tough games are against mtl pit boston and the case can be made for a now hot flyers team. The rest are "easier" opponents...it aint over til the fat lady sings

Awesome teammate in an otherwise dreadful season. Hopefully he stays!

only 3 games homie, and we didnt deserve to win last night, IMO.

He doesnt have much to work with, I understand that, but I just think they will go for a 'name' coach.

I dont consider them above .500 with RR...I count OT/SOL losses, as well, losses.

Evening boys.

Did I miss anything?

talking about if Rolston should come back or not

40% Myers being out of shape, 10% he got injured overseas, 15% him being immature, 35% coaching
- sbroads24

99% lack of desire/grit

Coaching?? Please stop broads!
