When I was reading it "spin control" kept flashing in my mind They (wisemen) didn't want Briere but Holmgren is his mentor? Makes a ton of sense. Also, if they aren't consulted on a decision like this, why again do they have a job? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GratefulFlyers Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 I believe it because of this: Brière, when asked if the three legacy advisers would continue to influence policies, made clear that he does not need and will not heed those voices. “I don’t know at this point. I am not sure,” he said. “We’ll see moving forward with what happens there.” (emphasis mine) That is a revealing answer. If this story was all b.s. Briere’s answer would’ve sounded ….well we all know exactly how it would’ve sounded. Has the unthinkable FINALLY happened? Let us bow our heads and pray. It’s about f#+&$ time! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you really want to believe it, and I dont blame you. But the statement you quoted from Briere doesn't say anything. It's just more nondescript nonsense you get from people in that position 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyercanuck Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Lets just hope Fletcher resurfaces somewhere so we can dump all the garbage he accumulated back on him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlaskaFlyerFan Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 (edited) Briere was probably pre-approved by the trio so no need to contact them. That’s why they were grooming him. Edited March 19, 2023 by AlaskaFlyerFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s obvious what he would’ve said if the 3 Amigos were still expecting to call the shots. Instead he flat out says he’s not sure what their role will be. My goodness can you imagine any other Flyers’ GM, when asked directly about them, not giving his full-throated support? I can’t. To me this is a sea change.

SCFlyguy Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 He literally had to have a call with them within 48 hours of being hired in order to kiss the rings. Way to show you're a maverick, Danny Boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCFlyguy Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Huge shift, if true: Bobby Clarke started eating solid food again at the old folks home. My source tells me it was Danny Briere that cut up his dinner for him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
