GrittyForever Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Well it's official, we are tanking for Bedard. We're going to fight our way to the bottom though so get ready for some old time hockey. In fairness to DeLo, he's actually developed into a decent penalty killer, he's a solid team guy, and he will fight ANYBODY. Philly fans will love this guy and some of his "activities" will be the only highlights/enjoyment we get this year. I wouldn't have paid him that much or given him that term, but I do not hate having him on the team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruxpin Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 (edited) Every single national hockey article I've read calls the Flyers losers. The first reason is JG, obviously, but every single one skewers the Desaulniers signing. One calling it "hockeywise, a terrible contact." There is simply no way to put a positive spin on this signing. Sorry, there just isn't. This whole off-season is just a ham-fisted cluster fk. An unbelievably protracted search for a head coach after knowing for 5+ months that you had an opening, only to land John fricken Tortorella. Follow this with an idiotic signing of a player whose history and playing style go with Tort like peanut butter and baby's blood. To the utter disaster yesterday. To say this is a failure is to call the Hindenburg an aviation hiccup. They'd honestly have been better off signing no one. Just ride it out. Fold. But this? And then Lindblom For those who were wondering what the flyer identity is, it's apparent historic ineptitude and assholery. Aggressive retool, my ###. More like pathetic tool. Who woulda seen this coming when we hired this imbecile. Oh, wait... Edited July 14, 2022 by ruxpin 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobbyClarkeFan16 Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 I'm still waiting for Schmuck Felcher's lone defender to come on here and tell us why Schmuck did such a good job this offseason. What's even worse is that you can bet Schmuck went to the senior advisors to talk about moves and they were all in agreement that these were good moves. A house cleaning can't come quick enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCFlyguy Posted July 14, 2022 Author Share Posted July 14, 2022 Clarke will hold a press conference two years from now to tell everyone he wanted to sign whatever UFA actually worked out but Fletcher wouldn't do it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, the pile of crap that is Chuck and Co. will probably screw that up also. The Flyers will have a lot of competition from Chicago, who pretty much cleared the roster of every good player they could. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone is smoking too much of what this organization's propaganda department is handing them. Developed into a decent penalty killer? BULL. Absolute bull. He doesn't earn the time on ice to be a decent ANYTHING in the NHL. And the fact that he'll fight anybody means nothing in today's NHL. Maybe you haven't watched this sport in a few decades. He'll fight anybody because he's incapable of actually playing hockey, at ANY level, let alone the NHL. The fact that he was even considered by this pathetic front office and idiotic group of scouts is so far beyond any of the BS moves that Fletcher or any other GM of this organization has made here. So far beyond a Hayes or Risto targeting. So far beyond a JVR targeting. Just so far beyond... haha. You must be one of those young pups that likes figure skating over real hockey. well good for you. enjoy. you probably have the wrong team. In no way did I suggest Nick is worth the money they gave him. Just saying, the hate isn't warranted. He will be fun to watch in a dismal season of tanking.

CoachX Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 If ND goes on some kind of rampage, beating the snot out of multiple players for division rivals, I will tune in to watch.

He's good for fantasy hockey in a league with non-scoring stats and you're trying to steal the hits or PIMs categories and his team plays Friday night. Otherwise, there is literally no purpose to his existence 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's great news for the six people attending the games. I remember when we had fan favorites on actually successful hockey teams. Now it's some journeyman clown trying to distract from the organizational failures with fisticuffs. Winning? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
