    The Hockey Guy on Fedotov and Michkov

    in Philadelphia Flyers

    Michkov wants to come to NHL.  He'll be here in 3 years time.  Things with Russia are fine.  Ukraine is losing and will lose the war primarily because theyre grossly outnumbered.  I'm not wishing negativity on UKR or RSA.  I'm not from the Eur-Asian area and I've seen enough conflicting information online to know that news/media from whichever country presents things in their own interest.

     

    Needless to say USA and Russia havent gotten along for decades minus Trumps brief tenure and yet Ovechkin and Malkin and Kaprizov and plenty of other Russian players come to NHL simply because they want to be the best...and Ovi will go down as the best goal scorer ever - rightfully so.

     

    Russians dont impede Russians from making money and NHL pays the best by a large margin.

    Not to be that guy, but here we are. Your post is a smorgasbord of stupidity.

    The Demise of our once beloved Flyers

    It was another successful regular season followed by a disappointing and somewhat embarrassing postseason finish. 2011-12 was the last time the Flyers had seen the second round of the playoffs for a decade and within that time, the demise of the franchise took place and is currently taking place. How a team could come so close to winning it all and then dramatically fall off the face of the earth within a ten year stretch is unthinkable – yet, it is the Flyers way.

    2020 season?

     

    I should read the entire article before commenting....

    who would you want as gm and president for the flyers?

    You realize he's been promoted to President of Hockey Operations for Colorado, with their previous assistant GM, Chris MacFarland, being promoted to their GM, right?  Of course, if this was a fantasy choice, obviously Sakic would be desired for either position.  With this being a realistic choice, he's certainly not taking a demotion to come the mess that is this current franchise.

     

     No.  Administrative director of the franchise's medical department and system, sure.  President of hockey operations, absolutely and emphatically no.

    With Sakic it was just a fantasy not a reality. Croce for me would be a different set of eyes and a new direction. I like the guy and what he brought to the 76er's. I mean realistically he cannot be any worse than the hammered **** that has plagued this franchise.

    What is wrong with the Flyers and how do you fix it?

    As you are all so fast to remind me of my teams problems, yours are not an easy fix either. Do not be surprised if we get to the playoffs before you.   But does it really matter just getting in? Just to be spit out like Montreal and Nashville will be?  The only thing in  store for Montreal is more humiliation.  Maybe better to not make it until you are ready to really go deep.

    Haven't said this for about a decade: Shut up Rick; the Sabres blow. 

     

    Now go warm up that jalopy Lumina of yours, and head on over to Applebee's for some gross ass halibut. 

     

    Man that felt good.

    Ok the season is over , who do we want in the draft?

    Sure...but he can always leave after ONE season when his contract runs out. Would you part ways with those for ONE season of Jones? I wouldn't. I'm sure he wants a big raise, even though his play hasn't really warranted it over the past 2 seasons. If he was already a Flyer I'm sure there'd be more than a few ready to run him out of town for it...but since he's not the grass is always greener. 

    He could. That's the risk and why the offer shouldn't be too steep. 

     

    At this point the Flyers best defender (Provorov) and he could use some help. Hell this entire team needs a lobotomy.

    Sorry i don't think Morin gets that done. It would have to be Sanheim, Myers or York i would think.

     

    So i give them Sanheim...and sure he could score some goals on the Flyers who doesn't once they leave the Flyers i just think the Flyers could then exploit his soft play in his own end like i see so many now do to him now....yeah i'm saying it i just don't think Sanheim is ever going to be any better of a defender from here on out....i just don't he just don't have that dog in him like he needs.

     

    And if i am wrong i will eat my serving of crow.

    I definitely would part ways with Sanheim and a 1st for Jones.

    Are the Flyers this Year's Biggest Disappointment?

    Biggest disappointment to whom?  To me?  Yes.

     

    Actually, it's neck and neck with "The Society" being unexpectedly cancelled by Netflix because of production delays due to COVID.

    Okay Rux, I made the mistake of watching the show after reading your post. 

     

    Now I am like, well what the hell happened? Are they dead? Were they sent to another dimension? Is Pfeffer the Pied Piper of New Ham?  

     

    Couldn't the writers just give us a recap of what season two would have been>? I heard there is a petition to have Hulu pick it up.

    AV on the final stretch of the season....could be fun!!!

    If they continue the slide, they'll probably be drafting in the top 10; which could help if they draft wisely. I like the looks of Fabian Lysell, but I'll admit I didn't get to see too much outside of the World Jrs.

     

    I like Giroux and he accepts his diminished role well, but Vorcek needs to go. One way or another. He seems to be the locker room cancer. I don't know this for a fact, but watching his pressers or his titter feed, the dude seems like a total bitch. 

     

    JvR to this day pisses me off. Why did they pursue him again? The dude literally has the intensity of grapefruit. He also never seemed to have any desire to play in Philly (I recall his draft year and subsequent refusal to report to the AHL).

     

    Hayes needs to get his undersized helmet knocked off his head and wake up. SO much talent, so much drifting. 

     

    My must go list: Voracek, JvR, Yeo, Therrien.

     

    My needs to wake up: Hayes, Sanheim, Myers, Hart

     

    Needs: draft speed and skill up front. Assistant coaches with accountability. A sniper, I don't care if he is a minus -5 every game, score goals! Landeskog comes to mind if the Flyers can shed salary. Something to replace Niskanen- Savard comes to mind, but he has been a train wreck recently. 

     

    Maybe that helps, but there is just something rotten to the core with this team. They tried the rebuild and patience with Hextall and this is what they have to show for it. They went all in with Holmgren and there were some great years, but ultimately wound up in cap hell and really screwed the team in the long run. 

     

    Perhaps the team could look like:

     

    Landeskog- Couturier-TK

    Farabee-Hayes-Frost

    Lindblom-Giroux-Laughton

    Twarynski- Haula- NAK

     

    Provorov-Savard

    Sanheim- Myers

    Morin-Gostibehere

     

    Hart-Elliot

     

    ***I didn't consider any salary with this as I am playing fantasy GM****
