I have zero faith in the hire. More of the same "Let's see who's in my contact list on my flip phone, oh there's Chuck". Truthfully, it wouldn't surprise me if the Flyer party boys let Scott make the pick. Old Man Snider is smiling somewhere though, having picked ex-Flyers in his will, to run the franchise. This, instead of having a made a nice gesture to all the hockey fans of the Flyers who's minds don't live in the 70s. and saying "We'll pick the best hockey people now, instead." "We'll change our ways because they aren't working." Sorry, about the quotes, but I am not the least bit happy with this hire. He seems like yet another puppet. Maybe empty seats will someday get this franchise to wake up to the fact that GOOD hockey people are what you need. Now, where's my Zoloft?

I hope it works out, obviously.

Uh, he did trade Brent Burns away. 

And he did cripple the Wild with those Parise and Suter contracts which will be on the books until the asteroid hits in Donald Trumps 3rd term.

Needless to say, I don't have the "high hopes". 

You mean 2nd term.  Yay asteroid. More I don't know how to run a hockey organization properly by the Flyers organization.

Well, they repainted the walls on the Flyer Titanic. Looks good. 

HF,

I don't know if you signed me up to a league, but I would like to participate.

I'm ashamed of what happened to the Predators jersey. It was very good before, they made a few minor tweaks and now it's just a yellow curtain with a Preds logo on it. I hope it looks a lot better with full gear on the ice.

I agree...way too much yellow. They should switch back to their inaugural jerseys they wore from '99-'01. This is especially true for the road ones back then, which were predominantly blue with gray along the shoulders.

Nice jerseys...the white ones kind of remind me of the old Ottawa Senators home jerseys.

Last night was a repeat performance of the 75 finals and how the games went.  Buffalo, a 5 year expansion team at the time, dominated play yet could not beat Parent.  Same thing happened last night but it was less great goaltending but still they did not have a shot on goal for a long time.   Hockey is a game of luck in many ways. Out shooting and out skating a team and out playing them does not always mean you will win. 

Then we should expect a fog halfway through the game, a bat to pause the game, and Roger Crozier to start for the Preds tomorrow?
