flyer4ever Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 HC Gronburg. Tocchet or Richardson as assistants . Story goes Gronburg is an excellent special teams tactition. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammer2 Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Spitfire biased confirmed....Julien or Quenville. Why? They both have won the Cup as coaches,both know what it takes to win (who sits and who plays) and both are experienced at matching lines and which lines are favorable match ups. If the plan is to go for Bedard, cancel my selections. A complete and total tank is what this team really needs....a rookie NCAA coach that the team can grow with may help in the pursuit of Bedard. Off topic, but how come there is never, ever a superstar when the Flyers pick super high? JVR, Patrick (not many teams knew Makar WAS THIS great), now Wright feels a lot like Patrick...does a lot of things well...nothing really great....pffft.

As much as special teams are important you play way more 5 on 5. I would much rather a HC that looks after the 5 on 5 game first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hf101 Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 My choice is for Scott Sandelin to be named head coach of the Flyers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen Gronburg's name mentioned too. I don't know anything about him. Tocchet & Richardson would meet the former Flyer requirements though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyercanuck Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 10 hours ago, FireDillabaugh said: Vigneault fired 5 months ago. Borderline? Far from the borderline, imo. It's downright incompetent. It was incompetent to fire Vigneault when the team's issue was the inability to score goals. It was incompetent to fire Therrien when it was clear that the coaching wasn't the issue with the Power Play, and that the issue was the players on that power play. And that incompetence only continued in believing that Yeo deserved the interim job(solely because he's Chuck's boy that will tell Chuck what he wants to hear instead of what he needs to hear). And that incompetence only continued when they continued to believe that Yeo deserved any job during those 5 months. Vigneault and Therrien were probably willing to tell Chuck what he needed to hear instead of being his "Yes men", which is probably a big part of why they were fired. Lmao. Coaching soccer... Nice one!! Does anyone know when the last Eklund rumor actually came true? Has it ever happened? Holmgren being promoted when he left the team in shambles like Fletcher has it, only without prospects was incompetent. Hiring Fletcher was incompetent. These guys still think you build a team through free agency, like there's no cap. Fletchers 3 key long term acquisitions rang up a grand total of 13 goals and 39 assists for 52 points (that's total, not average) for $18.65 million. That makes the Jeff Skinner contract look like a bargain. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I so much agree with this - if you don't have that then you're already behind on the ice and then on the scoreboard. The only problem is that exceptional skaters will make Hayes, JVR, Ristolainen look absolutely ridiculous - more than they already do I mean. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking long term, when the Flyers are regular contenders for the cup, led by Coolie and Bedard. I have to dream and be optimistic. As long as Chuck and Paul are involved there is no reason for serious discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just too depressing for me to accept. I'm hoping Fletcher is fired before Christmas and then (another hope) Bob and Paul decide to go a different direction for once. There are some good players already on the roster. Hart is - or can be - an excellent starting goaltender. It's not hopeless but I agree it'll take firing Fletcher before any meaningful change happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RonJeremy Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 (edited) 3 hours ago, FireDillabaugh said: FIFY. Those are the two making these decisions among the Senior Advisors. Not Clarke or Barber. He probably can be, if they get him the goaltending coach he deserves. He won't be anything more than what we see now if Dillabaugh isn't replaced. It's funny , Marty Brodeur proved that the hybrid style is the best. He stood up and cut down the angles on the outside shots and he went into the butterfly, when the shots were in close. I cant count how many times Hart is on his knees before the shot is taken, there is no way you should get beat high from 10 feet out. We do need a better goaltending coach. See if Marty wants a job.
