Is there evidence that you might present?

According to Mr. Ek a ton of dominoes will fall. But one less with Toews out of the picture.

All of these are solid and valid points here. Scott does whatever the voices in his ear tell him that he should do since Scott clearly knows nothing about hockey. If he did he never would have hired fleece me feltcher

Voices, you're letting voices tell you what to do
When you yourself don't know
Voices, you got one too
So let it out and let us know when you're feeling all alone

The Niskanen trade was a good move. That's about it.

I apologize if I’m late to the party. But this is a must read from the A. Charlie O essentially points out why we are all in this group therapy session together and frustrated beyond belief.

Absolutely spot on article. This guy's done his homework and has summed up the Flyers predicament perfectly. Well done.

Thanks for the link.

I am going to the game tonight it might be ugly with the Oilers on a skid as well. The flyers might be ripe for the picking without their number#1 guy stirring things up!
Maybe Hart plays well in front of his family, let's hope!

And the parent company doesn't even notice the Flyers. They're an insignificant part of their business portfolio. A rounding error. A few down seasons and 10% attendance reduction isn't gonna set off any alarm bells. They're more interested in Spectacor growing e-sports than the Flyers competing for the Stanley Cup anyway.

- Tomahawk


Bingo The parent company isn't Ed Snider and the flyers are a # now on a tax return. Is Comcast caring more about NBC or The Flyers?

Translation: He could need surgery but we're going to try to rehab it. He's currently day to day, but soon that will be week to week which inevitably turns into month to month. He'll be ready, for sure, by the opening game of the season.

Chuck should be peddling Hart and Ivan to the kings. That thought probably has never crossed his mind

I just have a hard time buying the Clarke and cronies pulling the strings. Is Comcast that naive that they wouldn’t advise with their own people or group of people outside the Flyers organization? It’s hard to think they came in and just let Clarke bop them on the head and walk around like a mummy
- ClaudeFather

I don't think Clarke has THAT pull but he definitely had a say in hiring the guy who is currently running this franchise into the ground. Who else would have said that feltcher is thr guy to lead us to greatness?! He doesn't even have a history of being a solid or competent GM (see Parise and suter)
I just have no idea who else would have said fleece me feltch was the best hire out there without seeing what ties he has had to this franchise before. Who else makes the call to recycle the nepotism and cronyism that continued to haunt this franchise. This is a serious question and I am open to all possibilities

Even that one has a stain on it as Niskanen retired much earlier than anticipated.
- Daceroni

To me it was a solid trade and nobody could have predicted the bubble fiasco that occurred. In fact, had that not happened, I see that entire rest of the season playing out entirely different but, again, that's the luck philly has..

My expectations are very low, I am not that vested anymore. Yes, it's frustrating to lose a favorite team, but it does not drive me crazy on the daily basis anymore/
- missingmike

That's how I've gotten... I am way less invested in this team now than I have ever been. Years ago I'd never miss a game. Now I follow them and read about them while I poop but outside of that... meh
