lol who cares..get over it..move on

 

[FromOyVey2Matvei]

Rocky must feel left out, especially with Drysdale being a potentially big boost to his PP.

They can’t throw too much at him on day one.

Torts and Shaw have to teach him how to stop using his wheels for zone entries at 5 on 5 in favor of the dump and chase first.

Then maybe sometime next week Rocky can teach him how movement on the powerplay is bad

 

[Flyerfan4life]

imagine scouring the internet for stuff to slag him on..

f***ing sad...

Who would ever engage Sean Avery

Christopher Nolan. In Tenet and Oppenheimer.

What is a “cutter” anyhow?

I don't know, but he couldn't cut the muh-muh-mustard!

 

[Kermit the Prog]

What is a “cutter” anyhow?

Three acceptable answers:

1. Someone whose career tops out at slicing lunchmeat
2. An entitled douche who butts into line
3. That guy whose gaze thrusts upward when the elevator fills with stench

 

[TCTC]

The little douchebag is getting more attention than he actually deserves. I'm talking about Gauthier. Everybody knows Avery is an attention whore desperate to stay relevant.

The Flyers are doing a full court media press about Cutter rejecting the Flyers when it seems to be very clear there's a lot more that happened here.

I sont blame him one bit. It's unfortunate that we'll never get his side of the story here because of the ol' boys club that is hockey, but is love to hear his side somehow.

 

[Jettany]

At least you avoided...the Leon Stickle Game.

And the high stick? And game 1…. Late powerplay for Isles to tie it, OT powerplay to win it. When the whistles were normally put away in the 3rd and OT.

 

[Jettany]

And one stifling linesman - Kevin Collins. What a wet blanket that guy was.



I'm still angry - forty-some-odd years later.

Boy do I have a Kevin Collins story. Lol. Let’s just say his hate for the Flyers lasted past retirement into the days he worked in the league offices with Colin Campbell.

 

[BrindamoursNose]

We're winning the PR war, boys

 

[Flyer lurker]

I am sure Cutter wanted to play under thus.

 

[Jettany]

I am sure Cutter wanted to play under thus.

I’ll tell you one thing, he has an easy out with a lot of the board if he says thats the reason. Even with his team denying this in some reporting since the trade.

Does any other team do this shit? I stopped paying attention years ago, but it sure seems like the Flyers lead the sports world in badmouthing their exes since at least Brad McCrimmon's contract debacle.

 

[mr4tno]

Sean Avery, for all his skank-ness, is not that far from the truth....

It cracks me up that the Flyers traded for a 21 year old AND still received the oldest player in the trade!

Not that I'm aware of, no. But as you can see from some people around here, they so it because it feeds the mob and shields them from any sort of accountability.

Crazy to think that Philadelphia just may not be the absolute best city in the world that everyone wants to live in. Weird.

The backlash from the Isles when Tavaras left was pretty brutal. Eichel leaving Buffalo too. Carter and the Blue Jackets debacle.

I dont think this is limited to the flyers.

From the team though? I'm not talking about the fanbase or the occasional Marcus Hayes with a perpetual axe to grind. The Flyers go on these prolonged smear campaigns and it is f***ing weird. It doesn't really matter in the end why Gauthier decided not to play here, and you already pulled the trigger, so have some restraint and move on.

Yeah, the Isles went turbo if I remember correctly. Which was quite reasonable when Tavaras basically strung them along like a high school crush.

The only one I can remember where the team was involved and not fans were the Isles, and even then, thays a one time thing.

The Flyers seemingly do this with every player. There was Ghost stuff when he left, you have thr Cutter stuff, and then, on par in terms of awfulness with Cutters stuff was the Hextall "pizza" posts.

The organization caters its messaging to the Neanderthals and sadly it works here. At least they get something "right" I guess.

 

[usahockey22flyers]

IIRC, Tavares was asked by Gm if he wanted to be dealt at deadline, and he said no and that he wanted to stay with his guys. Also that was the year they broke ground on the new stadium I think? Pretty sure he put on the hard hat and took pics as captain lol

From the top of my head:

McCrimmon for not falling in line about his contract. The whole Lindros debacle. Janne Niinimaa daring to go to a Metallica concert in-season. Roger Neilson daring to get cancer and then wanting to come back to his job. Pitkanen the awkward loner. Dry Island. Hextall the control freak. Ghost. Voracek. Even a bit of shade thrown at G! Kevin Hayes. Cutter who was only a LW anyway. And I'm sure I'm missing a bunch of other examples.

It always seems to be something. There's a reason "no comment" is a thing, but it seems as if the Flyers PR department hasn't reached that lesson yet at PR school. Or rather, this all stems from Bob Clarke's worldview where you have to give your adversaries a good two-hander in the leg to cripple them, metaphorically speaking of course.

Dude you're so right. Turbo!
