mkscrewy Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 i haven't seen anything credible that he's close to being fired. If anything, considering Flyers management history, he's closer to being promoted. 2 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has to have dirt on Homer or Boby or he'll all of them... ...how can he still be here. One of us could do a better job. 26 games ZERO points -6. SMGDH How can they justify still keeping him around? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like you are in the heart of Philadelphia. You must watch the same news and listen to the same radio I do. You want flyers news? This is it. This is probably the only place to get it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the media saying? I don't get much Flyer news here. I don't know if it qualifies as inside information, but Anthony SanFillipo mentioned on Snow the Goalie that there is a lot of "smoke" from all of his sources within the organization. Chris Therrien who still knows some people chimed in saying that's what he's hearing too. Charlie O'Connor from the Athletic has mentioned there is unrest as well. There is nothing concrete, but these are a couple of people I trust to vet their information before they report anything. Unless those guys are being played- and in ASF's case this isn't his first rodeo so I think he knows when he's being manipulated. Charlie is very thorough too, so if there wasn't some validity to rumors I don't think they wouldn't be saying anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So anyone know how attendance is looking nothing sends a better message in my mind than for them maybe to be embarrassed to see a lot of empty seats on TV. Not sure how that looks haven't watched them since the 1st week really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're down around 17K according to hockeydb https://www.hockeydb.com/nhl-attendance/att_graph_season.php?lid=NHL1927&sid=2023 That's about 2k under sellout IIRC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howie58 Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 I have it from a source with official Flyers media credentials that Chuck will be replaced at season's end. I am not sure if this is the usual Flyer kick-upstairs, retirement, or other. I consider the source level-headed and credible. My spin/take is that the replacement is pivotal--the departure isn't. I agree with the ABC (Anyone but Chuck) view up to a point. An insider like Briere doesn't appeal. They need an outsider with an excellent drafting record. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way worse. Why are the fans supporting this team with this management group if they want change? No way I would spend a dime on this team. In fact I haven't since the stoppage when they "were good" lol I work to hard to spend my money on this team. I would be better served just lighting the money on fire. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny strikes me as a cool dude, and he has paid his dues with minor league service. But, I am afraid he won't speak truth to power for fear of biting the wrong hand. Yeah, it doesn't appear a mid-season change is in the offing if my source is correct. Again, I hate to speak in Deep Throat-like terms, but I will respect this person's anonymity. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look you only outright embarrass people who weren't doing as they were told. The ones who really screw things up get promoted. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's true that he's out at the end of the season the VPs will never let him have the final word on TD deals. But unless whoever's next is distinctly different from Holmgren/Fletcher it won't matter much who calls the shots. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he doesn't trade the pick for yet another lousy player he covets. The sooner he's fired (sorry, this is the Flyers we're talking about) promoted , the better.

Damn what does it take to show him the door?? Has Risto even come close to hitting the other teams goalie this year WTF can't this dude run the the other teams goalie just once?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GratefulFlyers Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 “Hart will go on the trip and start the final 2 games of the road trip.” I’m sure O’Connor is just reporting what he was told so no blame to him, but what are the odds that prediction (prognosis?) gets revised in the coming days? I’d say about 100%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
