[ponder719]

Welcome (for 89% of our games) Coach Thompson!

 

[FLYguy3911]

The stellar offseason continues.

Is this the offensive/PP guru?

 

[Young Sandwich]

I'll post it here too.

Is he not a highly regarded coach ?

Only in Flyers land. Hes a goon.

 

[CSKA1974]

Chuck had to have a Thompson signed

 

[Cody Webster]

Rocky, the statue? We should steal him from the steps of the Art Museum and anchor him down behind the bench, probably get the same result

I get he was a goon,, but had thought he was a legit up and coming coach ?

I think he WAS a few years back but not really anymore

He is unvaccinated and lost his asst. job with SJ because he would not get the jab.

Shirt off to fight a player.

What a lockeroom this is going to be. Any young player that doesn’t try to get moved out of this mess is a moron.

 

[VladDrag]

This f***ing team.

Got our enforcer to keep DeAngelo in line.

Just keep trying to build the gooniest squad out there in the year 2022.

Can we get HBO to just do a 24/7 style behind the scenes show and just air the episodes during games?

I've been looking for this for awhile. God this team is the worst.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

He was so friggin terrifying when he played junior in Medicine Hat. I was actually scared seeing him when he came to town to play.... bizzare thinking at that time he was only 17/18/19 years old... nowadays there aren't any kids in junior that look intimidating at all

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

F*** you, Rocky.

Rocky Thompson, Florida Panthers 2000-2003

Chuck Fletcher, assistant GM, Florida Panthers 1993-2002

Always a connection

5 stages of WTF:

1.) Get scared that they signed Nate Thompson.
2.) Be relieved that they didn't.
3.) Find out who they actually signed.
4.) Find out about him.
5.) WTF?!?

 

[Cody Webster]

Did this guy play for the Danbury Thrashers? Sounds like he'd be someone who played for them

 

[Flyerfan18]

Don’t know a lot about him as a coach other than he was considered a very good up and coming coach and he can’t get vaccinated for medical reasons. He won’t be available for Canada trips either as he can’t get in.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Yeah this will go great.
