If ever there was a case for performance enhancing drugs, that's it. What more proof is needed?

MacDonald over Straka or Cousins.

Again, if this isn't a tank job, and they are this stupid on their own accord. God help us all.

- flyer_nutter


If they're tanking, why don't they just play Lecavalier?

Put him in the lineup at 2nd line center and lock him in!

Not sure, the facts elude me as I a not in the room or brain of management.

Perhaps as it would make the tank obvious? Not sure fans would accept that.

Could be worse. He has done some good things, and having a guy that is interested in the team is a good thing. Two edged sword when its overdone I think.

How does that make sense? Are you saying that your seeing what's not obvious, and the other fans just don't realize the Flyers are tanking?

Any other reasons that you can think of why the Flyers would call up MacDonald instead of Straka or Cousins?

It was 14 pounds over 8 1/2 months. Also it was a program the Flyers put him on.

It's hard to know who then becomes the puppet master. The problem with a corporate ownership can be lack of support at the corporate level and lack of understanding of what a sports team needs in leadership and organization that is different from the rest of the corporate entities. Recent long-term good teams like Detroit, P'burgh, and Chicago have a strong central owner/managing general partner with a passion for the game and a commitment to what it takes across the organization. (I'm not really sure how engaged Anschutz has been with the Kings.)

I think. As most of us are, just having some sick fun at the expense of the organization. Some back lash is expected after what has happened since the cup final and the "season that shall not be named" isn't so far in the rear view mirror.
