And, I stand by what I've stated. What's ridiculous and just funny is that this is the simple response: So he never takes shifts off? He's worked his butt off 100% on every shift he's played before he had his back injury? Can he coach then, and teach that to Hayzee and JVR please? Maybe since he's about to be grossly overpaid, he won't ask for any pay to be coach? Maybe?... EVERY PLAYER THATS EVER PLAYED HAS TAKEN SHIFTS OFF. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not going to be in the playoffs for a bit, he's a playoff-type player who people want, this isn't that hard.

flyer4ever Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrittyForever Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 So apparently Trotz will be interviewed. My question would be how much term and how much power does he get if hired? Myself I think he's just about the best coach in the league so I'm giving him 5 years and a big say in personnel. Shipping out anybody he doesn't like asap.

He can't handle the personnel much worse than Chuck already has. It's probably about time this organization tries letting a head coach do the job of the front office, instead of continually allowing the other way around, which has continually failed miserably... Korn from what I read. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jammer2 Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 On 5/17/2022 at 7:49 PM, flyer4ever said: 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. Ellis looked good on paper, but I was warning in that trade thread on his extensive injury history! Sad to be right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad to be right. 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. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their catalog is uneven because drugs are awesome! but they are prolific and therefor their catalog is strong. Their recent work is still really heavy and relevant. The Nothing was my favorite rock record from 2019 and that year had releases from Tool and Slipknot. I hear their influence in nearly every new heavy band playing today. IMO Korn is properly rated. I'm sure coach Korn can't C-sharp so he'll B-flat. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mojo1917 Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 (edited) @radoran We'll agree to disagree. Korn was unlike anything I'd heard in 1996, or before. I first heard them on Life is Peachy Their music was not blues based in any way...maybe one could say they sounded a little like Ministry, if one strained their ears, but the hip-hop rhythms didn't come from uncle Al. Totally worth the bird gif though. Edited May 24, 2022 by mojo1917 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
