Wonder how soon till the assistants get announced?

 

[Starat327]

What if, instead, we just stopped talking about it?

 

[usahockey22flyers]

I love listening to him speak. That's going to be a lot of fun this year. Maybe the only fun I might have all season

 

[blackjackmulligan]

So are people rooting for Torts to have success? Or do they want failure?

What a dumb question. The majority on this board (minus the contrarians cause they always go against the concensus no matter what) everyone wants the team to have success. Unfortunately given the track record of those in charge, along with all the moves that have been made since said management came into place, outlook of success is unlikely. I'll be tickled pink if the Flyers do well next season

Sure seems like a lot of posters want the Flyers to lose. Many support it as a strategy. Some have so much seething hatred toward management and several players that they want them to lose out of spite.

There are plenty of people whose heads would explode if the Flyers win the Cup. PLus then they would have nothing to complain about, thus they lose their whole purpose in life.

Ignoring the Flyers entirely is really the best solution

So are people rooting for Torts to have success? Or do they want failure?

I'm not even rooting. This team won't be successful.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Count me among the head exploders. That would be quite the turn of events.

We're going to lose. It's inevitable. You just have your head rammed so far up the organization's ass that you refuse to see it and you're content to chase mediocrity. This FO sucks, and the only spite any of us have for it is because they're losers who suck.

All I want is a f***ing Cup, and I would happily go a lifetime without complaining about a damn thing.

Some people's purpose in life is just to refuse to see reality. Sadly, their heads do not explode when reality intrudes. Instead, they just keep doubling and tripling down because they can't admit they're wrong.

 

[Legion of Gloom]

I am rooting for the Front Office.

You are the physical manifestation of a false dichotomy.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

I fundamentally can't understand why or how someone would still have confidence in this franchise to be able to win a Cup other than blind dedication to the shield. I'm sorry that the majority of us on this board are seemingly realists and that interferes with the picture perfect view of the organization that they love so much. The truth hurts sometimes.

Do you really think we enjoy watching the team that has brought us all tons of moments of joy and we've spent countless hours of our lives supporting suffer? No, not even close. It's agonizing. All we want is a reason to be hopeful again and we haven't been given that in years as they continue to focus on moronic team building processes.

It's not "inevitable," Eeyore.

It's inevitable, you're just in denial. We suck and there's no easy way out of it, and most certainly not Torts and this FO.

 

[kudymen]

Edit - lets just not.

Gotta have someone from Minnesota on the bench...

 

[JojoTheWhale]

There's always someone on Twitter message boards arguing with no one, saying things like "but I was told Steph Curry wasn't a good shooter."

"Majority of the board told me he wasnt a good shooter, but I always maintained my high (and objective!) horse"

Makes you wonder.

Please do not get me started on the hilarious ways carnival games are rigged. I'll be on more Ignore lists than Striiker by the end of it.
