I'll explain it to you further since it escapes you. It's not about wanting to be relevant that is the issue. It's how they want the team to become relevant. It's all encompassing. It's not looking at one part of what is said. It's looking at it all. That was made very clear to you in making the statement that they want it to go back to the way Holmgren ran things. I don't have any faith that Dave Scott understands the NHL today and how things need to be done. I don't have any faith that he is not going to push some strings and put pressure on Fletcher. As if there isn't enough on him already.

I'm sorry MJL, I understand your fear and I honestly don't want the Flyers to completely go back to the way they were either, because that way also proved to not work. But I think you are reading waaay too much into what Dave Scott is saying. He wants the team to be relevant, he wants the team to win, and he is willing to spend money on the right players. These are good statements from the owner of the team. They statements don't have to mean the Flyers go back to the days of signing players like Bryzgolov or Lacavalier, but it also doesn't mean the Flyers should not trade assets if we can get a player that can be part of the solution for years to come either. I think we can agree that the Flyers have to draft and develop consistently well so they can have a stockpile of assets to either fill a gap on their current roster or to execute a hockey trade to get an elite player.

You're trying to badly, insinuate that the Flyers have lousy players, so this is why all of this happened. It's a poorly thought out narrative.

How are those great players doing tonight?

If the lottery was determined by goals allowed, would we be leading?

I think the operative word in penalty killing is "killing" with the Flyers.

I think Elliott should ask the Caps to slow it down a bit, it looks like everything is happening a bit too fast for him ....

I only know he is because he half assed a play a bit earlier and it was so noticeable it pissed me off.

I actually had no idea Patrick was playing until I saw him out on that powerplay.

Hayes taking Patrick under his wing seems to be working

This is the least competitive team in the League. Bottom feeders. Donā€™t let anyone else tell you different

Tonight is gone. Next game Pittsburgh. Then Caps again. Then Islanders. Time to bring up all the kids and see what they can do. This season is toast. No hope whatsoever.
