from serevalli:

Five days ago, Paul Holmgren scoffed at the idea of giving up his seat as the Flyers' general manager.

"Do you think I look 70?" Holmgren barked. "I still feel pretty good. I'm certainly not in any position today where I want to change chairs."

It's amazing what five days and a little "coaxing" from chairman Ed Snider can do.

does he honestly think this decision was made in the last 5 days because of what HOLMGER said last week? what a (frank)ing dope.

and theyre gonna call that a GM change?

Optimistically, enthused!

I was at a Devils playoff game a few years ago, sitting next to a 5 year old kid all amped up on soda and cotton candy, that dumb song came on and he started acting like a friggin chimp on crack. I had to go out to the concourse.

DD rules!

All the recent Cup winners have all used some level of analytics... I'm not surprised that Hexy picked up the importance of combing through data from Lombardi, who's thoroughness is legend.
- Tomahawk

That's the most encouraging item from the move. If Hextall digs as deep as Lombardi into every possible tool to evaluate players, it likely means that the Flyers won't be grabbing many Tyrell Ghoulbourne's in the third round moving forward.

I'd love to see them just project the video of Kate on the ice and get Lauren out of it completely... the tradition is fine... the split is awful.
- Tomahawk

Totally agree. One or the other, but not both.

mine was more filled with subtle disappointment.

I was just wondering where you've been...

Yeah, really couldn't be more pleased with everything we heard coming out of today's inauguration.

thats racist of you to assume so.

Lol, fan of Silicon Valley?

thats racist of you to assume so.

No.


It's not.

i'm sure hextall is calling the shots, and i'm pretty sure they still think we're really dumb.
