I thought AV was the problem ?

Jim Montgomery (assuming he has gotten his alcohol issues under control) Claude Julien, Mike Babcock, John Tortorella

Just a year? When did you become Mojo1917?

So when can we expect this to take place? He has a coaching record of 178-200, and a .406%

"Flyers' record losing streak is 9 games in 2006; record winless streak is 12 games in '99" Challenge accepted

Why would tocchet be any tougher or hold players more accountable than AV did? Being a tough bastard is not a reason to hire a coach. Neither is the fa t you were a significant player for past Flyer teams. We don't need nostalgia. We've had, STILL HAVE, enough of that

I'd be ok with Babcock. Isnt he facing some kind of legal issue?

I hope not. That is a wash, rinse, repeat, good ol boy, move if I ever saw one. If the Flyers need a rebuild, they need an outside coach with a successful record to get it done. I dunno, maybe Tortorella would work here for now They also need to gut the roster, and not that crapola manner from last offseason

Putting aside that Mike Richards when on a downward spiral, if I recall, here in forum land, there were numerous criticisms of him and Carter, and the rest of the center city party crowd. A lot a resemblance to what is occurring now with giroux and this current group of underachievers. Had he and Carte not won in LA, I suspect there wouldn't be alt of remorse here. Any chance we can get back on topic? Or has that discussion ran its course?

Sounds like my career as a popo

so hows all that working out for them? what is it, 8 straight now? Yeah, Yeo is doing a good job cleaning up AV's mistakes

so you are 100% positive he didnt work on this in practice? The players didn't execute because he didn't teach them?

Do any of those guys have HC experience at the NHL level? Have they ever won anything?

my new favorite saying, "Go purge yourself" thanks Rad

...that said, I still think I'm right

so fire management and the coach, and this current group of players is good enough?

do you have someone in mind?

Am I mistaken, were you the one in the other thread saying the position coaches are to blame for the regression of players?

ok. So its not the coach or players, its management?

what coach worth a damn would want this job?

no. im not kidding. Since October 2013 (roughly 10 years) the Flyers have had 5 head coaches. Thats a new head coach every 2 years. So, if that HC brings in a new staff of positional coaches, that also changes every 2 years. The argument that a players development is stifled by bad positional coaches seems weak considering how often they get a new group, unless of course, all the coaches hired since October 2013 are worthless. That would not surprise me, considering the idiots running the franchise. But more likely, considering the large turnover of coaches, and the same result on the ice, the problem lies elsewhere. Considering none of the front office loonies actually play the game, the on ice performance lies with this group pf players. Either they aren't talented enough, or there is a culture that allows them to perform however they want, with no fear of consequence. I personally think its a combination of both. So instead of a revolving door of coaches, maybe they should make some critical player moves to shake up this group.

Still beating that drum? AV is to blame and no good postition coaches? Did AV bring in the position coaches, or was he stuck with those hired by the organization?

2 more years

maybe they should fire the coach. That always seems to help

I fcking hate the Islanders! ...carry on
