Oh you can bet they’ll be tossing in Wings season tickets, food vouchers and a reach around from your cable guy to keep people on board.

Ellis and Hayes are part of the core for the next four years, most likely. Hopefully they can get back to full fitness.

Q: Did you bring injured players back too soon? Are you investigating your medical staff? It looks bad on the outside.

CF Answer: Um, you know, there's been a little bit of bad luck, I guess.

All Chuckles has to do is get a rabbit's foot, pick a 4 leaf clover, and throw a penny in a wishing well and that problem is solved.


This guy couldn't be a bigger clown if he worked for Ringling Brothers.

What do you expect him to say? Yes our medical staff sucks? The one thing a GM or anyone for that matter does is throw someone under the bus.

Clarke did that with Hextall and it was unprofessional regardless of whether it is true or not. It is all politics. Dave Scott says Fletcher is his man but the truth of it all is he can turn around tomorrow or at the end of the season and fire him. It is all about PR

Would like to say thanks to the media team for making the questions a little harder hitting at times.

A big “(frank) you” to Dave Scott, who has no clue how to oversee a professional sports team.

These fools think they can aggressively retool, and avoid a much needed rebuild. Fans just don’t buy the poop they are shovelling anymore.

It’s terrible PR management. This fanbase isn’t stupid. Long time fans who have watched this team can smell the stink.

He damaged their image a hell of a lot more than helped it today. I’m not sure who he believes will fall in line with their views that as is well?

They will try, and aggressively retool for next season it seems. The inability to realize what a mistake that is, is astounding.

Let's start with Ellis playing more than 20 games in a season, before calling him part of their core.

Cliff still thinks they're WERE people at the games, just not all at their seats at the same time.

If the injuries to Couterier, Ellis and Hayes are the same, then I am going to lay blame squarely at the former coach/assistant coach.. and their drills/exercises.. that means AV... someone else mentioned ice surfaces as well....I have never been thrilled with their " training staff". Current Docs/surgeons not certain.. I had good experiences with a Rothman surgeon and a Penn Neuro guy who treated me who were Flyers docs years ago, not certain the current crop and so disinterested I wont research it..

But everything needs a performance audit in this organization and we all know it

Maybe Rothman can give the entire Flyers front office, a brain scan.

Would it be possible to attach additional assets to our bad contract players just to get rid of them?

The first may or may not be true, but I strongly believe that guys like Scott do not see the future of the Flyers fanbase to be with the long-timers, sad though that might be for a guy like you.

More like the Sixers: younger, less attachment, more those who will drop in for a good show. And the corporate suite sales.

They think marketing will save them, along with the glittery distractions or loud arena music.

It’s just so obvious to anyone with a brain that they have no clue what they are doing. Scott’s approach to building a champion is not going to work, and will likely continue to set the team back.
