I don’t see rick

I’m suddenly hungry for mangos….

 

[BiPolar Caps]

MoJo extends with the

2 years @ 2m AAV.

Happy for him. He seemed to fit in well there.

MOJO, do us a favor and speak highly of Kuzy to Bill Guerin.

 

[Misery74]

Gallant to be fired.

We are not the right place for Gallant.

 

[Marshall]

Saw MoJo signed with MIN and I laughed. He'll be back.

Then he'll be traded to MIN again.

LOL! On the other hand, maybe ESPN knows their audience...

I mean I'd call myself a fairly experienced hockey fan and I'll admit it, I don't always manage to keep track of which one is Post #1 and which is Post #2 in the pace of play.

[Hivemind]

Karlsson is totally going to win the Norris this year, isnt he?

 

[PlushMinus]

Karlsson is totally going to win the Norris this year, isnt he?

Hope so - he deserves it based on the way they've been awarding it the last x number of years

 

[Raikkonen]

1 ESP less than McDavid and like 3 less than leader in the category? Norris easily

 

[usiel]

Karlsson is totally going to win the Norris this year, isnt he?

Yep.

 

[TRASHCAT]

mojo you cant escape us

 

[twabby]

Well at least the Flyers are going to keep stinking for a while.

 

[AlexModvechkin8]

Well at least the Flyers are going to keep stinking for a while.

I’d rather it be Eddie O because Keith Jones is pretty good on TV.

 

[twabby]

Active sticks and getting pucks deep are going to be the guiding principles for the Flyers going forward.

 

[g00n]

I’d rather it be Eddie O because Keith Jones is pretty good on TV.

Oldshit clearly wants to coach again because he can't get through a broadcast without trying to make adjustments for his favoring PA teams, maybe thinking their front office are listening and piping his words of wisdom down to the bench.

Jones can at least disguise his homerism 90% of the time.

 

[twabby]

Jones is actually pretty good as an in-studio analyst but I’m skeptical it’ll translate to his new role.

It’s wild to me that these entities who make millions and millions of dollars default to “eh he used to play for us” as a reason to hire guys in such important positions.

I leaned on our resident Washington Football/Flyers fan and it sounds like his role is to sit there, look pretty, and not really get in the way. It's a paycheck job by the sound of it.

They're fingerpainting with poopy.

If the Flyers organization were a person, they'd be that person who goes to the ER to get a cheese grater out of their butt.

If they were a movie, they'd be Manos: Hands of Fate.

They would order mayo on a pastrami sandwich.

Their favorite TV show is "Chrisley Knows Best."

But for real, this is currently how their management structure is built. It is rumored Jones will have no authority and is just a propagandist, and that Tortorella shares in roster power with Briere. So...this:

I don't know how you get your brain so polished, smooth, and unwrinkled to make such an arrangement possible. That's as garbled as having foreskins on your teeth. It should be forbidden.

I don't know why I presented that like it was some grueling interview, now to Keith with the weather.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Love Jonesie, but I find this to be a comical hire. This is a Jeff Saturday move in the NHL.

What does the president of hockey operations do since they are not the GM?

 

[HTFN]

What does the president of hockey operations do since they are not the GM?

Well it's the Flyers, so I imagine there are a lot of big levers and pulleys in a steam room somewhere that need attention. He might also turn the crank that starts their zamboni and kick the wooden chocks out of the way.

 

[g00n]

What does the president of hockey operations do since they are not the GM?

Gritty.

 

[usiel]

Gritty.

So should not be surprised that Gritty's direct report is the president of hockey ops.
