  1. See this is where my disdain for SL comes from. I get liking TK, but SL? Seriously, why? I personally think in the absence of anyone to like for real, on a mediocre team, fans are fooled into thinking this guy is worth a schit In 10 seasons he averages 8g, 11a, 19pts. and is a career -16 player. I havent heard it lately but it used to be touted that he defends his teammates, but he only had 1 fight a year. The only argument I've heard that makes any sense, is that he is consistent every year, plays multiple positions and is affordable Ok, he consistently performs at a level that won't help this team, he plays multiple positions because the team doesn't have better options, and he's affordable because he isn't that talented I can see why he fits this team. In fact I'm anxiously awaiting the day he is made head coach
  2. I stopped reading after seeing that 57% of us want Laughton gone. I was too choked up with emotion to continue. Thank you all, I truly love you
  3. You forgot the ultimate first round failure, JVR. I trace this current run of cancerous results to the day he was signed I fcking hate that guy
  4. Maybe I should have clarified that I was speaking in general. As for the Flyers, they're screwed. Trade anybody. I wouldn't even notice they were gone
  5. THERE IT IS! that's what the problem is....he beat up a FEW. He needs to beat up alot more to have the impact we need
  6. Like I said, why not keep him around for this rebuild? Its good to have a guy who's willing to punch someone in the face for no apparent reason
  7. And yet he still has a job. Teams keep signing him. Im sure all us forum experts know more than all the Gm's in the league. That's why there are more of us then there are of them. And if they were all smarter they would probably be on this forum instead of deciding who ACTUALLY plays on their teams. But I think I will forgo my infinite hockey wisdom and extend them an ounce of courtesy that there is reason ND is employed. My initial post, albeit honest, was a joke. However, as pointed out, ND is not the reason this team sucks. And he won't be the reason they keep sucking. Considering where they are as team, and where he is a player, I think he is useful and valuable. I know if I'm Morgan Frost, having a guy like Delauriers watching my back, would give me a boost of confidence
  8. Im keeping Delauriers. He's the only sonovabytch who does his job consistently

  10. you must have ducked. Otherwise the sarcasm I was slinging in my last post would've smacked you right in the mush
  11. You cant possibly be suggesting it wasn't the coache(s) fault? Thats absurd. It would mean someone else was the problem.....I won't stand for it. Im reporting you
  12. Not that hard at all to believe. That front office is filled with tools, they just can't fix schidt
  13. Because you are a true fan of the team. Like many of us. We are loyal, and even though I bytch and moan, I love the Flyers and thank them for all these years of great hockey. They will be good again. It's just a question of when. I just don't know if by the time it happens, will they be able to get me to feel the same passion I used to have The Flyers were born in the fall of '67. I was born in the fall of '67. We are kindred spirits
  14. first DB has to have interim removed. Second, Torts isnt going anywhere
  15. by my count, Bobby Bunch, has been used three times since being deemed official (by me of course). Quoting it counts. So thats three shots coming my way. My liver is going to feel like it was in one of thse 70's brawls we miss so much. It think I will name it "Rolfe"
  16. About the "Bobby Bunch", GOB club...... Its seems to me the obvious issue is, this has been the model this organization has followed since the glory days of the 70's. Anyone who does a small amount of research will see that the Flyers, as an organization, take care of former players. Its admirable from a humanity standpoint, and is probably why so many players loved coming to Philly. But from a hockey standpoint, or more specifically with fans as the priority, its failed. Just as a simple example, Ian Laperiere. Guy was a true on ice warrior. But his best days were with COL. He played here for a few years, and is now a career man with the organization. Are his skills and abilities worthy of the jobs he's held? I haven't seen it. So this makes me question whether or not the Flyers hire the best person for the position, or the person who we want to reward with a career after hockey. Hiring any past player indicates to me that its the latter. So, no thanks, move on, I don't care who it is. Its time to do something different. Unfortunately, I dont think they will
  17. Bobby Bunch ...hearby trademarked by CoachX. All future uses available for one shot of bourbon......its ok, you can owe me
  18. And you know this, how? Are you and Danny Briere on speaking terms? Wait....are you Danny Briere? That would explain your certainty for sure. I hope your right. But just remember, you are putting yourself out there. Come October if the Bobby Bunch is still be bopping around, this will come back up
  19. Do words matter? In todays sports, not really. These front office types, as well as players, more often than not give the boilerplate responses. Sometimes, they outright lie. So when something is said, its hollow until an action occurs to give it substance. Is what Briere said impactful? Maybe. But like you said, only because we fans have not heard that before. It doesn't mean anything until a change occurs. And lets not overlook the fact that DB is new at this. Is it possible what he said was a "flub", or taken out of context. If so, then it means even less than nothing. Here's what I look at, if DB's words meant something, why haven't any of these "changes" occured? What exactly are they waiting for? Its not like any of these positions will have an impact on who the sign, draft or trade for. It won't make a difference to whomever they hire as president of ops, unless that person happens to insist they are removed. I want the changes you want. I just wont believe it until I see it
  20. How can it be interference when the play is over? You can't be interfered with in that instance. Any discussion about legalilty should be thrown out. Since when can you just level a guy when the game in not in play?
