GratefulFlyers Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 oh lord not Olczyk please. Well I guess whoever it is won't be "out front" much so hopefully we won't have to listen to him. But I always had the impression he was basically a Flyers hater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much describes anyone who's watched them the past five years. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's NO way you could get worse management than Fletcher. Flyer fans, meet the new and improved Flyer management Briere/Tortsie/Jones....none of whom have any NHL managing experience. What could possibly go wrong? Remember how much of a joke it used to be that Montreal would hire only French Canadian coaches? At least that was a larger gene pool than played for the Flyers. It sure was a fun month dreaming of competence. Edited May 11, 2023 by flyercanuck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that would make it work Clarke hates to lose more than any person alive. This actually hurts him as an executive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCFlyguy Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 The Flyers hiring a former Flyer is one of the most predictable developments and all the half-mumbled Danny Briere press conferences wasn't going to change it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did an extensive search for hockey people who have been through a rebuilding process, have experience running a hockey franchise, and have a demonstrated track record of success. And then went with the former Flyer announcer guy. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radoran Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 5 minutes ago, CoachX said: its really a no brainer when you think about it Look, the Pens are looking at a guy with these qualifications for their next GM: "He's been working for the enemy, serving as the assistant general manager of the Rangers and GM for their AHL affiliate, the Hartford Wolf Pack, since August of 2021. Martin comes with nearly 20 years of NHL managerial and administrative experience, working in the Detroit Red Wings organization from 2005 until his hiring in New York. He also has a championship pedigree. He was a member of the front office team during the Detroit Red Wings 2008 Stanley Cup run, and oversaw Detroit's AHL affiliate, the Grand Rapids Griffins, en route to a 2017 Calder Cup championship. " He's not even a former player! And he has managerial experience! What are they thinking!?!?!? You obviously need a former (Flyers) player who took a few classes and sort of oversaw the general workings of a minor league team for a couple years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
