  1. I should know this , but do not follow all the off ice news from Sweden....

    ....but now that Comcast owns the Flyers what exactly is Sniders role ?

    Did he sell the team to them with the stipulation that he oversee the organization ?

    Pretty much yes. He sold the team and got an employment contract as President of the team, or of Comcast-Spectacor which is the holding company that holds Comcast's investment in the team and the building.

    +1 for use of nadir in a hockey forum

    Somehow I feel better hearing my own dismal assessment validated by an objective party. It really is this bad. But honestly I could present several realistic scenarios of things getting even worse, so I dread the rest of hockey season for what still might happen and its just barely November

  3. All right I'm all for a good bashing, but somebody had to go to the A when Hartnell came back, not all that strange for the last guy to the farm to be the first to get called up to replace our new-old tough guy Downie....who got a concussion in his first game back in Philly...in a fight...man he got pounded in that scuffle...I sure did like Max Talbot....Did we really give up a touchdown to the Caps without Ovechkin....yeah nevermind bash away

  4. I would hope Hexy would refuse the job unless he could be his own man. Of course that promise can be made an not kept.

    At any rate that move needs to be made now. Fired the coach 3 games in, shoulda happened over the summer but better late than never. The same should apply to Homer.

  5. Blow it up. Get rid of everyone except the kids. All trades include draft picks in return and or prospects. Seriously nobody over 23 coming back in trade. Nobody with coming back with a NTC or 5 years on a deal. Get a bunch of kids trying to make an NHL squad and go from there.

    If you're gonna be bad but building something, I can hang. But I just can't watch a bunch of big contracts getting older and taking the team to the cap only to suck balls. This is absolutely unbearable.

  6. It seems like its only me. I want to fix this now with blockbuster trades! I have looked forward to the season and i just cant take a whole season in the doghouse.

    A blockbuster trade isn't going to fix anything, unless you find a really, really stupid trading partner that will take our garbage and send back youth and picks. And even then that isn't the right now fix you seem to want. In the absence of that, big deals will only make it worse. So move over rover, we're going to be in here for a while.

  7. I'll watch it, have a few pops and root for Z.

    Now there's a kid worth rooting for. Good skates, woulda liked to see him develop here. Not to mention he's one of very few people in this world with whom I share a first name, gotta root for him ; )

    I never made it to the Aud, its been described to me as 14,000 people in a phone booth, which sounds marvelous from here. As I'm sure you know, It was also one of a handful of buildings that couldn't quite fit an NHL length sheet in it, so they took the difference out from between the blue lines. Makes for some nice collisions.
