brelic Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 I've never seen a Flyers team this bad, either. Have you? Even 2007 was better than this. Of course there's the Farwell dark years before Lindros, but my memory is a little fuzzy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samifan Posted November 8, 2013 Author Share Posted November 8, 2013 (edited) Just imagine what's this season would be like with Bryz in net.......Not sure how Ed could be baffled, he allow this team to be built. Watching Homer trade away picks, give out bad contracts. Step One Ed, look in the mirror Edited November 8, 2013 by Samifan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samifan Posted November 8, 2013 Author Share Posted November 8, 2013 Yep at least Bryz would have been good for a few sound bites, unless he walked out without talking to the media Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FD19372 Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 (edited) That's called cover my a*s damage control. Why should he fix it when he's still putting as*es in the seats? Next year he won't be as lucky with season ticket sales, except to the idiots who don't know a puck from a baseball. He'd rather be Mr. Loyalty and hand out favors for the rest of his life to ex-players who didn't win a damned thing. Of course, he's baffled. He can't figure out how to fix things HIS way, aka wrongly. Edited November 8, 2013 by FD19372 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackStraw Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 I've never seen a Flyers team this bad, either. Have you? I agree with Snider (in this instance). I don't think I've ever seen anything like this. I can't remember an NHL team that was this offensively inept. I've seen teams that were worse all around, but never a team that just absolutely could not score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hf101 Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Just imagine what's this season would be like with Bryz in net....... Then again, ..... Maybe it IS the reason Bryz was so bad in net.... :wacko: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruxpin Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Then again, ..... Maybe it IS the reason Bryz was so bad in net.... :wacko: No. That was because the Flyers were blocking shots, remember? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hf101 Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 @ruxpin Correct, but all jokes aside, I do think Bryz's faults blinded some of the off-season evaluation of this team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blame the goalie. When that fails, blame the coach. Rinse and repeat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radoran Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 One of my favorite parts was where he actually said "you can't change all the players" Four guys from the Finals team. Four guys. One of the problems is that they continually change players - and then can't figure out why the chemistry isn't there. They had the Briere/Timonen/Hartnell/Richards/Crater core to the team and then added Pronger. That paid dividends the first season - once the team tripped into the playoffs. But Chris Pronger was never going to play second fiddle to anybody, certainly not a 24-year-old. Then, IMO, the team - always having dreamy fee fees for Pronger - then decided that the 12-year relationship with their captain, whom they had touted from the moment he was drafted simply wasn't good enough any more. Hockey is a business, yes. But business is often based on trust and mutual understanding. If everyone in the room is sitting around waiting for the big trade axe to fall, that's not healthy for anyone and certainly not for the "chemistry" of the team. "Chemistry" is all about the names on the back, regardless of the crest on the front. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bakanekimiwa Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 any trade the Flyers make this season better be about dumping salary and/or acquiring picks or young talent. I can't see any reason otherwise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doom88 Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Oddly, cap space shouldn't be a problem. I'd be open to a UFA sniper if available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
