Do you live in the Philly area? Every game is blacked out here because it's always on local TV.

Funny story... 2 years ago at Philly/buf game I saw Coates at steakhouse here, as I was leaving I yell out "coatzeeeeeee" then at game next night I'm going up escalator and he is going down and I yell "coatzeeeee" then after 1st period interview he comes out to the bench right by me and I yell "coatzeeee" then I was at philly/buf game in philly, had seats about 8 rows up right next to zamboni entrance, (got pic with Lauren hart) and he was doing pregame stuff for comcast and I start yelling "coatzeeeee" after camera goes off he turns and says to me "hey, buffalo guy" we started laughing. He probably went to security and said watch that guy I think he might be a stalker.

I just want somebody that complains about the "Fire Lavi" posts to explain to me why he deserves to be treated as if he's Mike Babcock or Scotty Bowman.
- Jsaquella


I think the only valid reason why Laviolette gets defended (at least by me) is what are the alternatives?

Obviously if things go south this year Lavy will be gone, and it can certainly be argued that he would deserve it.

Who else is out there? I'm not buying into the Terry Murray angle. The guy is 63 years old. I would be somewhat intrigued by Guy Boucher.

You don't buy into the Murray angle because you refuse to recognize what he can do for this team. How he can teach them to play the right way, and instill the qualities that a team needs to win. That he can correct some of the issues this team has. Age has zero to do with it. And there's other Coaches that are available. Murray and Laviolette aren't the only ones. And speaking of alternatives. One is keeping the Coach and going down with the sinking ship if this team struggles early, and what happened last Season, continues. I for one am hoping that the opposite happens. That they play well and flourish under Laviolette, and we can move on from this specific discussion.

As long as the new coach preaches a strong two-way, physical system, I'm happy with him. Our team is built to properly succeed with that kind of system. Lots of grit, lots of two-way, diverse guys. Some speed sprinkled in. We have the pieces, we just need the system.

For Gill to stay as the 7th D Meszaros would have to be traded, right?

Games shouldn't be blacked out on Center Ice , they are locally on NHL GameCenter Live. Maybe some of you have mixed up the two.

I really just wish Lavi would make the adjustments like he did towards the end of last season.

From what I hear the best one is Unblock us ... I think it costs $5 a month though.

I only wanted Murray as an interim last year. I did not and do not view him as a long term alternative.

Had they made the move last season, they could have had a guy like Boucher, Tortorella or Alain Vigneault, who has had NHL success, or tapped into a promising AHL guy, such as Dallas Eakins, Marc French or John Hynes. There's also guys who have had great success in juniors, like Steve Spott. Who knows, maybe they could have made a nice offer to lure Dave Tippett from Phoenix with the uncertainty of their situation.

I don't know if those guys would be as good, better or worse than Laviolette. I just know that in the pas few years, the Flyers have consistently been dominated by the Devils and Rangers, and have had a lot of issues with teams that play a smart, disciplined and hard working forecheck and trap game. They have never really made an effective adjustment, and that's not all on Laviolette, but a lot of it is.

If a game is televised locally, it's blacked out on Center Ice.

I live in western Canada and I don't get the Canucks games on NHL Gamecenter Live. When I had Center Ice I think the games were blacked out as well but theyn were always available Rogers Sportsnet so it didn't matter.
So yeah you were right ...
