Drysdale just jinxed himself...

And this from the head nut of the peanut gallery....some things never change do they?

Flyers general manager Daniel Briere said during the NHL Scouting Combine last month how impressive it was that Drysdale played through what he called a "significant injury."

"He wanted to play games," Briere said. "He's had a lot of injuries to deal with the last few years, so he wanted to play, so I give him a lot of credit. He showed a lot of character, leadership, the way he handled it.

"He should be in a much better position [this season], should be a lot freer to play."

The Flyers Way lol
Clearly it’s not specific to the Flyers because Drysdale played 8 games for the Ducks after getting hurt but before being traded. If he wanted to get the surgery in October or November and miss the rest of the season, he could have. But he didn’t. Long before he was Flyers propery.
 
Does this team even do physicals?

Edit: Sorry @Hanover Fist ,wasn't trying to jump your post. Just saw the one you were quoting and immediately thought of this heh. And your link isn't working
 
Can I just remind everyone how poorly run this franchise is in every aspect of professional sports.

They quartered their training staff in an area full of Zamboni exhaust that gave multiple people cancer.

Since the inception of the salary cap, I would be interested to find out how much cap space the Flyers have wasted on bought out contracts and players who are retired because of injury but still on the roster. I’d bet dollars to donuts that no other team has more than us.
 
I doubt that very much. Montreal had the careers of Price and Weber effectively end with five years left on their contracts, as just one example.
 
is that what Nashville said about Myers and us? lol
Yeah. Nashville really got the last laugh on that one, considering he played all of 27 games for them and he's basically been a career minor leaguer since the trade.

The Wild under Fletcher had to trade away or buy out a lot of contracts very soon after signing them.

And people wonder why I never had faith in the guy or felt the need to give him a chance, as if he were some unknown

Not that I will ever defend the Flyers, but that didn't happen. One guy got cancer, one guy had a platelet issue. There is basically no science out there indicating that you could develop said blood conditions from the propane exhaust produced by a Zamboni in the little time it would be idling indoors per day. If you could, forklift operators would make a lot more money.

The bizarre part of that story is that the Flyers had to continue employing two supposed medical trainers who were suing them over a batshit crazy medical theory, and while all that happened they amended their suit to include the fact that Torts--seriously--told McCrossin to shove it. Seems like they were preemptively filing a completely wacky defensive suit to avoid getting fired, because they would sue again for wrongful termination if they did. Sal Raffa had cancer, Jim McCrossin just was one.

Eh, I won't rule it out. Truck drivers loading and hauling chemicals for DuPont struggle to live to 60 without being riddled with bizarre cancers, but they don't get rich from settlements because science can't directly confirm anything. But it does get weird when people in the same profession working in the same place develop issues. This is only two people, though.

Overall, it's probably safest to assume that Clarke has been pumping benzene into McCrossin's lungs in his sleep every night as revenge for not finishing Lindros off.

Drysdale still sux....

A cross between Karl Dykhuis and Andrew McDonald. Can only hope my original comparison of Matt Carle comes true as a consolation...
