phlfly Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I think, the divorce, kids are far away, give him too much worry about. So it’s as same as Hartnell last year with his divorce. So it might a good idea for him go to play somewhere else and adjust to new life for him. He seems to me very sensitive guy, even feisty one.

Mother far from kids, father is happing just for couple days a week. Also remember it does not matter what did happen during their divorce, kids will love mother more, even kind a hate because she is not around, so it could brought a lot disagreements between him and kids.

You never do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vincent05 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 i'm not trying to completely recuse briere(lil paul mccartney), but he hasn't had the same line pairing for more than like 3 games. they aren't finding him chemistry since fartsmell is off his line. i firmly believe his 2nd half will be better than his first. but, of course no one cares about the playoffs right now. we'll talk to you again if they make the playoffs and i'm sure you'll eat your words here.Makes it no different then JVR, he's been playing on different lines too and JVR isn't yet paid to produce like Briere. How's the 2nd half and playoffs better if he keeps playing with these same guys? Please don't tell me the light switch crap like last year. I see no difference between JVR and Briere this year. What have we seen players talk about in past years when they are struggling? Work their ass off and have we seen that from Briere? Way to be a leader and show your teammates how it's done. Maybe JVR pick that up from him.I would love to eat my words Bak but I just don't see it until he does the dirty work and try harder instead of just standing behnd the net and watch him linemates do all the work or skate hard to backcheck as he throws the puck infront of the net only to have the other team rush up ice with it.

Vincent05 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Fine, and you're Danny Briere and you want to leave the Flyers because...?You're not wanted here. Not playing like you're being paid to and we want to get younger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radoran Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 You're not wanted here. Not playing like you're being paid to and we want to get younger.Danny Briere's pretty much exactly the player he was when the Flyers signed him. His 95-point season in BUF is a clear outlier in his production. He's a 60-65 point player. That's it.So, after you've thrown the player under the bus and he gives you a list of 3-4 teams he'd be willing to go to and none of them are willing to part with anything to get this player that you feel is completely underperforming for his salary, what do you do with Briere?He's not going anywhere. You can dream, of course, but you'll wake up and Danny Briere will still be wearing #48 in orange and black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent05 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 @radoranYou guys can make JVR your whipping boy but Briere will be mine until he turns it around somehow. I guess we have another 3 seasons for him to float around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idahophilly Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Briere is lost in the woods. He never returned from one of the search parties that went looking for Bryz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we have another 3 seasons for him to float around.What's particularly amusing about this comment is that I'm in a discussion on another thread where I'm DEFENDING JVR...I didn't like the Briere signing when it was made - but he has turned out to be the best of the "must have #1 Cs" from that year (Drury, Gomez). I don't think he's good on faceoffs and doesn't particularly backcheck well and has a tendency to "float."Again, all of this was known full well when they signed him... And why he's not going anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canoli Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I know I shouldn't but ...It seems this thread is focused a lot on point production and the conclusion is since DB's numbers are down from last year he sucks, or is underperforming or is stealing his paycheck.I don't see a big problem with Briere this year. I see the guy hustling and working hard every shift. I see him working with various line mates all season and still playing his same game. He doesn't turn the puck over very often, he works as hard as anyone around the net and it's unfortunate but he hasn't cashed in for goals as often as we'd like. 25 points (10+15) after 38 games isn't great but it isn't "useless" or "let's dump him at any cost somehow" territory either imo.Defensively he'll never be a Selke candidate but we don't expect that from him; he can't get a total "pass" on D but let's not hold him to a Mike Richards' or Simon Gagne standard of 2-way play either.In my opinion Briere is a valuable asset for the Flyers and more than likely - if the TEAM is going strong at PO time - Danny Briere will once again be a difference-maker and we'll be glad we have him.

Vincent05 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 @canoliNot the point production that is pissing me off. I've began to notice in the last 2 games he's out there in his own world. If you watch the WC game, he just stands behind the net waiting for the puck and I notice it last night too. I know he's not a muckler and grinder but help out sometimes, keep the puck in the offensive zone. You would think he atleast have some impact on games that the Flyers have won but I don't remember any so far. Again I hope I'm wrong on my judgement and will eat whatever you guys want but I don't see it happening this year.After all he's 34 and might be on the decline so maybe my expectation of him is too high.

radoran Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 He was everything for Flyers since signed here, but suddenly this year he has slow start.First 30 games - Danny Briere by season with the Flyers:0708 - 14 + 20 - 34 points0809 - 11 + 14 - 25 points* (injury)0910 - 12 + 9 - 21 points1011 - 16 + 8 - 24 points1112 - 10 + 15 - 25 pointsYou're right, obviously. His point production at the start of this season is "suddenly" different from his previous starts with the Flyers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
