A+ organization.

It’s comical how Clarke and Holmgren still have say in the direction of this club.

Retread city.

Keep hanging on to those glory days because it’s been nothing but irrelevance lately.

Claude Father if you are out there-think about that PM I sent several weeks ago.
One thing I don't think I mentioned
He used to make the Pens skate every day, I think the current CBA will not allow that with mandatory off days......

Looking at the make up of the coaching staff and the GM for that matter you have 4 guys that have been fired recently because they couldn't quite climb to the summit...they are going to be just as hungry as the players (if not more so) and with the youth the Flyers have this may just make for a very fun ride to watch.

There are sure to be some fire works in the coaching staff as they work to build a system, but that could play into their advantage because each guy will have his own perspective to bring to the table...I am just so glad to have experience behind the bench vice have no playoff series win experience since Lavi was the coach.

Each of these coaches have had some success, lets see how they work together to put things in place for the team to succeed...

And Lappy must really have Teflon in his blood...

"Retread city" unless they hire, say, Hakstol and Knoblauch, in which case it's "totally unproven at any pro level, much less the NHL."

Lol.

Would you say they decided to swing that pendulum the other way and focus on experience?

Slightly predictable, coming from the man that has lost credibility since being hired by the Flyers and becoming fearful of questioning the organization.

Honest question. Who would you have hired that isn't considered a retread or completely inexperienced?

Good question. Not sure I had a better choice than AV. The dust hasn't settled from post playoff firings yet so don't know who may have popped up with. If Fletch had AV in his sites then good for him for going and getting him. I'm not unhappy with the two new guys. Lappy dodges the bullet again. Ok with Dillabaugh sticking. Seems well respected. Going to be fun to watch.

Honest answer.

No issue with AV, get the need for wanting an experienced HC.

No idea how Lappy keeps surviving. Strong doubts with Therien’s rah rah approach that I feel is outdated in today’s game, and on a team with many young players.

Yeo might be a decent assistant but he’s poop as an HC.

I’d have had zero issues with them chasing an “inexperienced” guy for the assistant role with AV already on board. Names? Only ones I could throw out would have been the often mentioned Keefe, or Groulx - guys who very well may not want to come anyway.

When the day comes that Av is fired. The internal candidates to replace are Lappy, Gordon, Yeo and Therien. That’s (frank)ing hilarious.

Just seems they doubled down on “get all the experienced guys”.

Whatevs. Take it easy Hb.

If you think I am nuts, this news was real life from 2006, I guess Therien has changed since then ... this is the problem with sharing real world stuff while trying not to identify sources and getting people fired, even though its old...

This is more poorly thought out comments and talking points from the negative fan base. Reminds me of a different group of people. The blog is about hiring Therien, who has no connection to the Flyers along with Vigneualt and your comment is it's retread city.

Fanbase has been given every right and then some to question the Clarke/Holmgren regime.

Perpetual mediocrity.

You should be embarrassed. This is even at a lower level than how you normally embarrass yourself.

Fletcher made these decisions. The point went right over your head.
