Really is amazing the Oil cannot build a team around Draisaitl and McDavid. McDavid just plays the game at a pace no one can match in the game.

Not even his teammates… maybe that’s why they can’t build a team around him.

Well that and they don’t have a decent goalie

Their blueline is underwhelming. Nurse @ 9.25 million/yr. ouch.

Scouring social media late this evening and I see more and more talk of Tocchet being the next coach of the Flyers. You just know it's going to happen and I'm going to throw up in my mouth when it does. Coach Q or Torts!! Jim Montgomery's name seems to keep popping up too, but I'll admit to not knowing much about him. Chucky has to get it right this time or he will surely be out on his ass......maybe.

This is Fletcher's last shot at hiring a HC. If he screws this one up, his GM career is over. I can't think of a GM getting a 3rd chance to be a GM without a Stanley Cup on his resume. I would not expect a HC hire till after the lottery.

Fletcher doesnt have a last shot. He is President of Hockey Operations and GM of the Flyers. He is training Briere to take over. This is likely his last season as GM, hell if things dont go well, he might step down sooner

If you all want to see a textbook example of how to kill a penalty, just watch the Hurricanes in action. They are completely stifling the Bruins, to a point where the Bruins can't even get the puck in the Carolina zone and sustain any pressure. I hope the Flyers are watching how to properly kill a penalty in this series.

Every hockey exec has a last shot. This may not be it but he has one.

He will never be a GM again unless the flyers somehow turn this around and be legit contenders.

Doesn't matter as he has the flyers contract for life. He will be a senior advisor after Clarke and Holmgren passs on.

Do you think Farabee will be a 60 point + player next season?

Don’t get me started. I’m a charter captain, gas is $2 more a gallon at marina’s.

Lowell George? There is a fat man in the bathtub with the blues. That could be me after this season went down.

Slippery slope, I think I’m going to keep prices the same. Starting sunset tours this season. It’s not a gas guzzling event but the $$$ is good.

It is, though imo most understand. Depending on how much it is raised.

This could be a good debate for today. The Hockey News has a article called Coaching Watch : 10 Potential Candidates for NHL Teams. Some interesting coaches.

They do, I’m more worried about repeating customers. They might cut down on how many times they wanna go.

chuck will make the lazy predictable hire. I will be totally shocked if he doesn't and goes in a diff direction.

Kevin dineen on that list at all?

No KD wasn’t. I probably only recognize a few. No retreads, which made the article interesting. The guy that coached Sweden to a s#it load of medals caught my eye. Probably to out of the box for some.

In the end Carolina IMO is not as good as Colorado, Tampa or Florida, that is what I said exactly! That however doesn't imply in any way that Carolina is not a good team, and clearly they are one of the best defensive teams in the league. So stop trying to throw past posts in my face by taking them out of context!
