Hockey gods got even with Calgary. Counted at least 3 slew foots in period 2 last night. Used to be a deadly sin in hockey. In bett turds nhl it's just another day.

Risto is just the latest member of chuckles' legacy club. Praise, Suter,Hayes, Ellis, Risto. Most people get fired after 1 asinine move . Fletcher has made a career of it.

Looks like the refs got the same email in Edmonton as they got it newyork. The bett turd wants long series. More revenue.

Refs are happy to help out the Rangers cause. NHL is an embarrassment to hockey.

Dont be confused. The game is in bett turds home rink. All you need to know. Canes are trying to win being nice and skating pretty.

I'm indifferent really to the next coach choice. Until management enters the 21st century and acquire viable talent the next coach will just be the next coach to be fired.

Barkov and Huberdeau are both talented players. Yet neither has elevated their game in the playoffs. They frankly have played soft and low IQ hockey. Toe drags and blind behind the back passes repeatedly fail yet keep happening.

Ellis has played a lot of heavy minutes for 15 years or so. Junior phenom for your Spits and obviously in Nashville. It takes a heavy toll on a body. The red flag for chuckles was the very low cost to acquire him. I hope he can have a decent quality of life outside of hockey. There were a number of us on this board opposed to this trade, but the usual dysfunction in Flyerland prevailed. If Ellis was fit as a fiddle Poile would not have traded him.

They have continually mismanaged assets for over a decade. Couturier. Giroux, Atkinson, draft picks, contracts . Has there been even one single positive move by chuckles.?

you should make this a dollars paid to lazy ass as a ratio. It would be a toss up between JVR and Hayes. On recent Flyer teams the list of players earning their pay would be a shorter list. the recent Flyer management personnel who earn their pay would have nobody on the list.

I have only 1 question for Chuckles. "Have you had the same number of concussions as Holmgren? Or more?"

REC was a very talented player, with amazing anticipation and high hockey IQ. In addition to the heart of a lion. Sanheim was really the only bright spot this past season. He improved a whole bunch. Would still like to see a little more nasty in his game, it would give him a little more time and space chasing pucks in his own end.

Lots of dumb play by the Cats. Tampa doesn't beat themselves.

The plan should be to amass draft picks and have a shot at Bedard next year. That SHOULD be the plan. However, Chuckles is probably hard at work trying to find another Hayes, another Ellis. With the current roster of players it doesn't matter who the coach is.

Lindros and his entitled parents created a new column on scouting reports. "parent factor". Not to give REC a pass, but Bonnie was calling him at 3 in the morning with power play strategies. Shes a freak. She should have taught her sons to keep their head up. He was fun to watch though.

I agree on Theodore. But you can't have your bottom pair d guys making 6 mil per. Maybe they take Ellis and LTIR him.

Trying to fix this mess by moving Provorov, Sanheim, Koneckny whilst moving forward with Couturier, Ellis, Atkinson, Hayes is just assurance of more of the same for years to come. Until they admit what they have and where they are and BITFU then the season just finished is what we will see again and again. The wistfulness that healthy Coots and Ellis are going to push this team into a contender is Kenny Banyan gold comedy. Yet this is what Chuckles is planning on. A total **** show is what the Flyers are. I'm not being a downer, that's what it is. It's just like your gun laws. They don't care how many ignorance driven mass shootings occur, this is how we do it and we aren't changing.

I suppose this is worse than shooting up a supermarket. Or a basketball street party.

Chuckles has actually drafted ok, his mistake has been striving to slip into the playoffs by signing broken 30 year olds to stupid contracts, and picking outside the top 5, when you have an inside the bottom 5 hockey team. Drafting in the NHL is part science, part crystal ball, part good fortune. Its very hard to predict how 18 year olds will mature on and off the ice. The NFL drafts young men in their mid twenties. Thats why they come in the league and prosper right away. They should get a good player at 5, and hopefully are patient with his development. My wish for this draft is New Jersey gets the Nolan Patrick of the draft and the Flyers get the Cale Makar. Its okay to dream. My prediction is a trade. You go Chuckles!!!

Battling for a playoff spot in their 5th season should have been their progression. The expansion draft for them was a joke. Now they will pay for their instant gratification approach.

There are always surprises and disappointments when projecting 18 year olds into men. Let's cross our fingers chuckles gets it right.

Those 2 linesman deserved a beating for baby sitting that prick Chelios.

2 well respected hockey contributors, Ryan Kennedy of The Hockey News, Craig Button at TSN both mocked David Jiricek to the Flyers at #5. Savoie at 7 and 9 on their boards.

Maybe the Jersey Douche bags pick the Nolan Patrick of the draft and by the strangest of coincidences the Cale Makar falls to Philly. Or, Chuckie trades the pick for another 30 yr old with a big contract and a chronic condition.

Florida looks like another regular season team. No playoff smarts or heart.
