When does the bleeding stop, lol

Cuck’s greatest hits just keep on coming.

This all seems like some odd parallel dimension

Oh, a meathead who hit over 200 PIM in both the WHL and AHL several times. This will definitely improve our PP.

Things I can't believe are real.

Sometimes sports just makes you put your head in your hands for a few minutes.

They genuinely believe being an asshole is an asset. There's no other explanation possible at this point.

Rocky Thompson, Florida Panthers 2000-2003

Chuck Fletcher, assistant GM, Florida Panthers 1993-2002

Always a connection

I think everyone in the NHL has only 2 degrees of separation.
It's a small world.

 

[Flybynite]

I'll post it here too.

Ok at this point is Chuckles having his off-season acquisitions and coaching hires vetted by the Federalist Society or something?

 

[Beef Invictus]

This year will be worse than Torts' Vancouver adventure

 

[FlyerNutter]

Believe Charlie was the one saying that there was a feeling certain members of that old guard - believe Clarke was mentioned, wanted the players to be more "uncomfortable".

It's clear what's happening here, and that the Bullies takeover is fully on display. Fletcher is running this, but it very much reeks of a stench I had hoped they would be willing to leave in the past.

Reminds me of the time my high school football coach said "we need pricks on this team if we're going to make any noise."

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Can you imagine having the balls to do media and talk about how the culture needed to be improved and then your offseason plan is to add a coach who tried to fight a player, a player who was tossed out of multiple orgs for treating other players terribly, and a player who understands it's his job to fight everyone else?

And then your GM goes into his press conference and talks about how it's time for some young guys to step up or they're gone? How could anyone have confidence in them?

I would hope he didn't mean to you, but I also know some football coaches. It's not a given.

I thought the idea was to improve the Power Play?

 

[Beef Invictus]

No the idea is to torment players for Clarke's amusement. He's the worst thing that has ever happened to this team.

They'll score just so Rocky doesn't take his shirt off...

 

[Larry44]

Shirt's off, who wants to GO?

Might as well hire Shorsey next

 

[Beef Invictus]

It would be f***ing hilarious if TDA beats the shit out of him.

 

[Flybynite]

It would be f***ing hilarious if TDA beats the shit out of him.

I think he's probably more likely to hang out with TDA and go drinking.

 

[Chuck Downie]

Flyers going to beat everyone up on the way to the tank for Bedard. WTF is going on??

 

[BrindamoursNose]

Might as well hire Shorsey next

"Hayesy I've seen better skating from my half-dead diabetic grandma - give yer balls a tug"

 

[mja]

I think he's probably more likely to hang out with TDA and go drinking.

And then get into a bar fight.

 

[Flyerfan4life]
