Personally, I think the presser was a waste of time, designed to give fans something, ANYTHING, else to talk about They know the team is crap. They know fans are pissed. They know they have to do something, but they have no clue what that something is I also think everyone's job above head coach is safe. Players are going to get moved. But they don't know who

Excellent post Howie. Good points

trade him now, hes never had any value!

basically what was said.... hey fans we apologize. But we arent going to hold anyone accountable and although we admit there is a problem, it's no one's fault....except AV, who we alreay fired

Sometimes your optimism is just too much!

Yep. Hire a good coach, one with a winning record, and bring in a good GM and the current roster is built for a deep playoff run. Maybe even a SC

Maybe you should try actually reading my posts

Actually it's both. Management is responsible for hiring these bum, or the bums who hired them. It's not hard. 1+1=2. Feel free to take of your shoes if you need to count your toes Oh,, and in case you didn't notice, AV was fired and they havent won in 12 straight...and counting. Good call. He was definitely the problem

Players.

Totally agree

One thing they are never short on, excuses. Or, maybe that just applies to our forum analysis. There have been trades. There have been firings. There have been roster make overs. The team just isn't good. Some players might be, but as a team, they aren't. I suspect there are personality differences in the locker room that are significant. I suspect alot of finger pointing, which in my mind directly causes the fragility and collapses. My last thought, and the first person who pops in my mind is JVR, this is a business. These guys play for money. Some, lots of it. If the team sucks, they still get paid, so why bother. Others might want out (JVR, Giroux, Coots) entirely. As bad as they are, you don't have to do much to stay on the ice. Bottom line.... its the Players!

Whatever he says, if you look closely, you will see Clarke's hand in his back, directing every statement

Or maybe he pulls a Bob Clarke and resigns

All these tools and nothing gets fixed! Weird

Funny, considering they have not, and can not, win anything

I say trade him. In fact trade anyone that some other team is willing to take. Keep Provy and Farabee.

Wade Allison hurt again? ...shocker!

Giroux- veteran Coots- veteran JVR- veteran Hayes- veteran Nisky- veteran Voracek- veteran Elliott- veteran Provy- veteran Braun- veteran Konecny- veteran Raffl - veteran Laughton- worthless veteran Thompson, grant, pitlick, brassard, ghost, Gustafson, Atkinson

Rikard Grönborg?? I had no idea who this guy is, so I read up on him. That would be out of the box thinking. I dont think Fletch has the stones though

I have always loved the trade deadline speculation. There was a time when the Flyers would make a trade mid season and add apiece to an already potent line up. It's been a long time . Recent years have obviously been different, and the excitement/anticipation is mired in hope. The Flyers just completed their second 10 game "winless" steak this season . They have lost 21 of 26. I dont recall a worse time. I'm excited now, hopeful, because I feel like we have finally reached zero ground. It can't get worse, can it? They have no choice but to clean house....right?

So who's healthy?

We're evolving. I have a new partner. He needs some training. However he is signed to a long term contract which he won't be worth by the time it's over

Wait AV took 2 teams to the finals? That can't be true. If so then those 2 teams must have been soo good, they could win in spite of his ineptitude I just read he has a bunch of wins as an NHL coach. That's weird

I dont disagree However, going into the 2019 playoffs, this was one of the hottest teams in the league. Many of us thought they were legit contenders and I dont recall a lynch mob forming for AVs head. I dont care that he got fired. I care that they blamed another coach for the players failures

No. I dont know this. If some other coach turns this current roster in to winners, then I will know AV was the problem I'm not addicted to the o/b Kool aid that makes people think every player who steps on the ice is a stud
