...and now another ex-Flyer joins the fold. From the Philadelphia Inquirer today:
Two days after the Flyers added former Flyer Patrick Sharp as a special advisor to hockey operations, they announced John LeClair, another former Flyer, is joining the new front office in the same capacity.
Exactly. Have you ever tried to watch a network TV show from your provider's on-demand library? The FF feature is disabled so you are forced to watch their commercials (usually just ads for other network shows they're promoting). Drives me crazy!
I had the pleasure of meeting the man back in the mid-eighties as a young Flyers fan. He was obviously in a hurry but he took the time to stop and talk to me like I was the most important fan in the world. A truly genuine, honest, and nicer man I have never met since. He will truly be missed.
Holmgren, Hextall, Burke, the beer guy, whomever -- I don't think it will make much of a difference as we all know who's in charge of this organization. The culture is driven from the top-down and as Snider's said repeatedly there's nothing wrong with the culture in this organization.
I'll tell you what, if anything I'm now more inclined to watch the next few games, if only to see what effect adding Downie has on this stagnant lineup.
