If I were him, I'd come out in goalie mask with a goalie stick, sit down and just say, "Who wants to ask me a question?"

I wonder if he'll get as angry with Frank as Berube does

I'd like Brayden Schenn to score more of those points when the games actually count for something, myself.

Amen, brother -- ending the season on a hot streak after you have been eliminated is like pissing on a five-alarm fire

even Berube is gonna tune in to the PC to see if he's coming back.

Speaking of tuning in, they gonna be streaming this female dog or what?

Yep... weilding the old black and white Vic that weighed as much as a 2 x 4.

I agree. I think the long term ramifications of another year of Berube could be vastly underestimated. As much as I think Vinny is toast, I'd rather have him back next year than Berube.
- JFlyers00



Me too, and I think one of the first things I do if I am a new coach is take Vinny out to dinner, tell him I want him to be a veteran leader on this team. Be part of the leadership group. I will help you by trying to put you in a position to succeed. But what I need from you is to understand that if you don't produce, you need to change your game. You aren't a 30 goal guy anymore, but nor are you a 4th line winger. I want you to play center, even if it is the 4th line, but I will give you PP time if you earn it. I wont embarrass you, but don't you embarrass me either.

That is one thing that will be good comedy to watch next season, if they do bring Berube back.

Frank has been beating "Fire Berube" drum pretty hard. I don't remember a good GM/writer incident here in Philly since Clarke called Panotch an bumhole.

If Schenn is around next season, I can only pray he makes me eat every single word I have ever said about him

Yeah, it would be cool if the NHL just stopped keeping score when a team is eliminated from the playoffs since those games don't mean anything to anybody.

I know everybody's patience is wearing thin, but let's keep it in perspective... I'll take painful, incremental growth over what happened to Cody Hodgson this past year.

Well, I guess they mattered if you play Fantasy hockey or something.

But the reality is, Brayden Schenn compiled a bunch of points when the Flyers were well out of playoff contention. Mazel tov to him.

Let's see him do it when it actually matters and can have a meaningful impact on the success of the team.
