You disagree with Hilferty’s response regarding Torts?

 

[GKJ]

It’s not that he’s paying the fine, he should, it’s that he’s being a try-hard making people like him because it’s what Ed Snider would’ve done.


It’s the right thing to do, so just do it. If you’re telling everyone and getting your hired gun to do it, then you just want applause. Ed would’ve made it known, but at least it would be, I think, with assembled media, and less prepared.

Stop trying to be Ed Snider, just be Dan Hilferty.

Sounds like you’re projecting & trying to seek out reasons to complain about a positive.

Sure, it’s something Ed Snider would do. That means Hilferty isn’t allowed to think the same way or he’s being disingenuous?

You telling me you haven’t learned from people you admire, & if you follow things they’ve done that you like you are being a disingenuous “try-hard”?

Maybe you can start an anti-mentorship movement.

Ed Snider would have flown out a D man so we wouldn’t be stuck with 5 D that included two of the worst in the NHL. Snider would have never let that happen.

 

[Striiker]

Snider is the source reason the team is a pathetic joke right now so maybe he’s not the best example of how people should run a team.

If he actually wanted to win, instead of just making the franchise a retirement home for the BSBs, he never allows dipshits like Clarke anywhere near a management or advisor position. That’s how you end up with Fletcher, which is how you end up with the current disaster that has no future.

Why is it positive? Torts got himself kicked out of the most important game of the season.

I already said why it’s disingenuous. The people who do the right thing for the right reasons don’t seek out acclaim and approval. If they find out later that’s fine, but people want to eat it up because they wait the fairytale to be true.

 

[kudymen]

"No one is bigger than the team!!!!!" sounds like a cool way to paint yourself caring...
...
...
Until you paint yourself bigger than the game, and bigger than the rules of that game, and bigger than the ones who are here to guard the rules of said game.
"I'm going to cover his expenses for acting like he is bigger than the game" is just a cherry on top of a "not really new era" cake.

 

[Redpath]

I have a hard time getting annoyed at harmless gestures like the one from Hilferty. Same with them reverting back to the double center ice logo.

Outside of niche contrarian hockey forums, normal parts of the fanbase eat this kind of stuff up. Why shouldn't the team throw red meat at the fans that they'll love and hurts no one?

They can, and do, doesn’t mean we don’t see through it.

Have you ever had mentors?

Have you ever had idols?

Did you perhaps have a father who instilled things on you?

Have you adopted some of the things that they do that you admire?

Apparently, according to yourself, you’re a disingenuous “try-hard” if you have.

 

[Redpath]

I'm not sure what you think you're seeing through. I don't think he's trying to obfuscate what he's doing at all.

For some reason respecting & trying to bring back the Ed Snider mentality is a bad thing?

I guess it is for many on this board. But it’s valued by the majority of the fanbase.

i'd rather he called out a clown for being a clown..but not quite in those terms...you can both have someone's back and not be happy with their antics

A career high-level corporate health insurance executive is exactly what I think of when I think of a father, mentor, or idol.

lol you know..i hate this song but ..you pretty much gave me the idea of what song fits this organization perfectly

I’d hardly even call it Snider mentality, in the event that stirs debate over the merits of Snider’s tenure. (I know it’s something Snider did in the past though)

It’s a harmless gesture to pay the fine, have the Chairman give a little FU to the league, and let it be a little fun PR for the fans to eat up.

 

[Magua]

I wept when I found out Hilferty would pay Tortorella's fine for soiling himself in a 7-0 loss. He even found a way to shoehorn in the "New Era of Orange" slogan. Inspiring.

I feel like Dan Hilferty is watching out for me too. He would give me the IBX-branded shirt off his back, if the cameras were rolling.

I actually went and really listened to The National -- a couple albums and a smattering of songs -- the last time we brought this up in the fall......and they grew on me.

I’m as critical as the next guy of this team’s management team….well maybe not as critical as the next guy here….but this whole story to me is a complete non-story. Who gives a shit…unless someone is just looking for the next thing to be angry about. I like to evaluate things that matter and this isn’t one of them.

 

[volnoir]

I feel like this whole event is just being used by Flyers media to shift focus away from the 7-0 @SS-kicking they received right after the trade deadline in a, "let's see how playoff ready this team is" type game.
It was embarrassing and further shows how much further this team needs to go until they are to be taken seriously as a playoff team.

It was fixed when they added AV then it was fixed when they traded for Braun and Niskanen then it was fixed when they got rid of Ghost and Voracek then it was fixed when they added Yandle then it was fixed when they removed Giroux then it was fixed when they added Torts then it was fixed when they removed Hayes and Provorov then it was fixed when they

For real, you not making this shit up, unfortunately
