Seriously fire them all. JFC.

I just tuned in to hear Tortorella say that there would be no hugging on this team and emphasized his way of building a team, and if the FO didn't like it they could show him the door. And then he walked off. Was that the official end of the PC or is this an "I'll be in my trailer" moment from Tortorella?

The powerplay segment of that was a load of shit. Rocky can't hack it, you don't have a playmaker that you trust.

I can't tell if this is real or satire.

"probably not gonna throw a lot of money at a free agent"

"if there's a trade that makes sense/hockey trade we are open for business"

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

How exactly do they plan on getting better? Pure blind luck?

Culture will make them better.

This, everytime Briere/Jonesy talk.

"Not gonna go and double from 12.2 to 24" on PP. Oh Brother...dream big.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Oh good, the locker room is fixed.

Nevermind the fact that they lost eight straight games at the most important part of the season.

 

[Canfly]

Same crap coming out of the mouths of this front office no matter who is in there.
How the hell do you keep your PP coach and think that it is going to be any better. I did not think that Danny should have been named GM but I thought that he would be better at his duties than this.

Also you have to look into free agency if a center or #1 D-man is available.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Glad that Briere now said that he didn't expect Hathaway or Poehling to be available also (to go along side with Staal). You don't need to say these things outloud. If you're the GM of a professional sports franchise you should have a grasp of what's possible.

Oh and he's very happy with the entire coaching staff.

They're f***ed.

What the f*** is the point

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Johansen doesn't think that he can play hockey again. Lol.

Hathaway and Poehling are both signed next year. Is he talking about their health?

 

[Beef Invictus]

"probably not gonna throw a lot of money at a free agent"

"if there's a trade that makes sense/hockey trade we are open for business"

"A trade that makes sense" to them has proven to be a trade that doesn't make sense

I am once again not surprised that the management group which made no changes except promoting the architect of the Deslauriers signing is the same as it's always been

#sameoldorange Cant believe what i am hearing. ugh

Seriously fire them all. JFC.

Continued failed strategy ....consensus committee shit. This is an ignormus organization...very exasperating!

 

[blackjackmulligan]

"A trade that makes sense" to them has proven to be a trade that doesn't make sense

they mean a total overpay for their players which will never happen. so no trades for players of any value.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

He was talking about what happened last offseason. He didn't expect those players to be an option for the Flyers.

I thought the thinking around here was makes no sense to spend money on free agency when they are so far away from competing.

 

[Curufinwe]

They lost those games on the ice, not in the room.

Ah. I was going to be more concerned than usual if he didn't think they'd be available next season.

This stew is awful! It’s got all sorts of random ingredients that don’t marry well. Bring in a couple more cooks to add some different flavors.
