Howie58 Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Greetings: I just saw this online: https://wtop.com/sports/2023/03/flyers-chairman-scott-to-retire-hilferty-becomes-successor/ Well, another shoe drops. I suspect this has been in the hopper for some time. The Old Guard is changing. Briere, Torts, and the new President of Hockey Ops become the ruling troika. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radoran Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Can't wait for Dave Scott Night to recall all the great parts of the Dave Scott Era. Definitely a playoff team. Hall of Fame. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely by now they’ve milked their legacies dry and will retire gracefully…Shirley! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoachX Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 (edited) Well, well, well. Maybe the pendulum has actually swung. They hire Torts, fire Chuk-fuk, promote Danny B and Scott retires. Is this a rebuild? I was going to read the article but then I realized I don't care as long as he's gone Edited March 27, 2023 by CoachX 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GratefulFlyers Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 I read a quote where he called himself a “tenacious Flyers’ fan” - so we have that going for us. All I know about him besides that is he’s not Dave Scott. That’s good enough for now… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoachX Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 "Not Dave Scott" should have been the first line of his resume ....... and the last 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howie58 Posted March 27, 2023 Author Share Posted March 27, 2023 (edited) I invoke Abraham Lincoln from an 1862 in a message to Congress....one of my favorites: Is it doubted, then, that the plan I propose, if adopted, would shorten the war, and thus lessen its expenditure of money and of blood? Is it doubted that it would restore the national authority and national prosperity, and perpetuate both indefinitely? Is it doubted that we here--Congress and Executive--can secure its adoption? Will not the good people respond to a united, and earnest appeal from us? Can we, can they, by any other means, so certainly, or so speedily, assure these vital objects? We can succeed only by concert. It is not "can any of us imagine better?" but, "can we all do better?" The dogmas of the quiet past, are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise -- with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew, and act anew. We must disenthrall ourselves, and then we shall save our country. The O and B need to "must think anew, and act anew." I hope Briere and company take a page out of Abe's playbook.
