It's interesting here at this Flyers HF Board. A mix of:
1) those constantly critical of the Coach, GM, players - - ie: 'we know better'
2) those with calmer patience and deeper understanding
You are usually very sharp.
A good media quote recently:
But the sky isn't falling. They are 3-2-1 and some of Vigneault's best teams didn't figure things out right away, last season included. A reminder: the Flyers started 2-3-1 last season and were average at best in the opening month. The Flyers truly didn't click until January.
This season started later and is a shortened, 56-game campaign, but the Delaware Valley should not be pressing the panic button yet.
When the season first started with 2 wins, some negative posting prompted a response of patience and time is needed. Then someone posted, if you think this is bad, 'just wait until we have a loss'.
After 2 losses - - the sky is falling, the sky is falling! Criticize players. Attack the GM. (We fans know best.) Disappointing. Sad. But, it's the nature of the beast.
Lesson for me - - stay out of foolish and stupid controversies — because they will generate quarrels. Learn when a real opportunity to express calmness appears, and then, just speak the realities in patience and understanding.
It's interesting to read some of the criticisms here, but those posters do not offer a solution - - just easy attacking a player, Coach, GM in a snap-shot of time. (Not you.)
The wise saying:
The end of a matter is better than its beginning,
and patience is better than pride.
