Snider said the #Flyers' training camp was the worst he's seen in 40 years.

Say what you want, I love Snider. Wouldnt trade him for any other owner.
- Flyersgod


I don't mind Snider to an extent but sometimes he is loyal to a fault.

Snider is not coming on today.. they said they will try to get him on tomorrow.
- mikel33

Comcast finally put a gag order on him (hopefully).

Love the guy and what he's done for hockey in Philadelphia -- except for what he's done for hockey in Philadelphia since about 1983 when he let his son become Team President.

They must have had this disaster plan drawn up since last season.
- Tomahawk


I said it earlier, but I wasn't surprised at all that Paddock is back in the mix -- I knew once he was instructing players at practice that Laviolette was in trouble, but I didn't want to believe it was going to get sideways this fast.

Wow! Tough crowd! Making it to a conference final after finishing as the worst team in the league doesn't count for anything, then losing to the eventual Cup champion when your top two defensemen were out?

Like I said, no facts, just feeling.
I always felt like they succeeded in spite of Stevens

Why? Even after you were told by a poster that there was nothing to the Berube scuttlebutt?

Wait, what? Dreger said Berube might be coach last week?
- bradleyc4


He said Laviolette was already on the hot seat and that Berube was a leading candidate

Couturier and B Schenn are 20 years old. B Schenn is still basically in his 2nd NHL Season, and has yet to play a full NHL Season.
- MJL


Neither are elite or top line players, nor will they magically turn into one.

Schenn has been so overhyped I have to wonder if it was just a brilliant marketing plan to increase his trade value.

You can bet Tocchet cashed in on those 2/1 Vegas odds on Laviolette.

More talk on 590:

Questioning the pickup of Berube as he's only been a HC in the A.

Wondering about why they didn't take Murray, or Tocchet and saying that if Bylsma gets off to a 0-3 start, he'd be gone too.

And ironically 50% of the morning team consist of Morganti and Keith Jones.. Its almost like a philosophy to not talk hockey.

Loyalty is a great trait to be known for. Remember he is the reason philly even has a team.

Interesting. The Oilers hire Dallas Eakins who's only HC experience is in AHL and it's smart, the Flyers hire a guy who's only HC experience is in the AHL and it's idiotic?

Bolland's goal in the first game... Streit lost a foot race to Kulemin for a puck in the corner, then got man-handled physically, putting his d-partner and low forward in a really bad position. Puck was in the net almost immediately after.
- Tomahawk



If you're blaming Streit solely for that goal, you're incorrect. There was no coverage in front of the net, and Bolland was left all alone uncovered. Defense is a team game.

Patrick Sharp also looked nothing like a top-line player when they traded him for Matt Ellison... some guys are worth the wait.

Schenn's was PPG in the PO's and was PPG to start last season I believe... those are good signs.

Bylsma was promoted mid-season after being an AHL head coach. Worked out pretty well for him in his inaugural season.
