I agree 100%. You would think at some point this young man would have said to someone "I think my skates are too big". I have owned upwards of 20 pair of skates in my life and was fitted by a qualified person every time, and I never played for money or country. How does this happen to an elite player in this day and age? This is very odd on every level. my point was why don't we hear these stories about any other organization? Is it because we put the Flyers under a microscope? Or is it because it only happens to the Flyers?

You can't make this **** up! Only in dysfunction in Flyer Junction.

I trust a single A minor atom coach to better develop prospects than the Flyers currently do.

The fan base is stupid. They continue to show up at the rink and pay for tickets.

Rest easy Johnny and Matthew. You are missed now and always.

Lets all pray together that the crowd sizes this coming season resemble Arizona. It is exactly what the Flyers hockey ops deserves.

These players have all given their best to the Flyers under trying circumstance. Sadly, they are also all 3 diminishing assets, 2 of them with albatross contracts. The Flyer way. Give us mediocre, or give us death.

Don't ignore the Brandon connection with Hextall. (Patrick, Provorov) Kinda like the Minnesota thing with the chucktard.

Thanks for your deep dive into the stats, interesting August hockey news. The Flyers currently have no early draft picks next year. They have multiple middle to late 1st round and 2nd round picks. There is a BIG difference, as we are all aware. They are good assets though, perhaps we will see some creativity by Danny B in the coming months. Also, my reference to dumb and dumber is not a Briere and Jones thing. It's aimed at REC and Homer.

All of the culture and hard work drove them all the way to mediocre. When the lack of depth caused burn out in the last 3 weeks we saw the real Flyers. Other teams started to ramp up for the playoffs and we saw the results. No skill, no depth up and down the line up. No amount of culture and work ethic are going to get them past a 1st round shelling at best. The modern day NHL requires high end skill. Dumb and dumber apparently will never get that.

He's a head injury away from being the next GM.

I think I've said this before in this chat room, I wish that Dumb and Dumber would just come out and say we are happy to be the land of broken toys, we are happy to not challenge for a Cup run, and we don't care what anyone else thinks. There really is no other explanation for repeating the same mistakes over and over and over again, with no consequences. They appear to be untouchable. Used to be if you banged your head against the wall enough times it would start to hurt. Apparently the diabetes and the bike accident have completely numbed them to pain.

2011 Bruins was Tim Thomas on crack. He was amazing. Bergeron and Krejci were a good 1-2 C. They had 6 20 goal guys in the regular season.

There is a great cover of When The Levee Breaks on Youtube. Playing For Change.

The skill at this tournament was off the charts. Other than a few too many toe drags these kids play like men.
