The Quigster Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 After seeing whats happening this season,what could be the best results next season? Does Hexie have a magic lamp? At least tonight we will get to see that slug, JVR(Luke Schenn's polar opposite) maybe score a goal and prove what a great trade Homer made. I'm starting to think this whole club is made up from the "Blue Oyster" crowd. If you respond ,please keep it positive,good luck!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samifan Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 JVR(Luke Schenn's polar opposite) maybe will score a goal Fixed it for you. Remember former Flyers are always good for 1 or 2 goals when they play the Flyers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammer2 Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 @Samifan There is a rare exception to the ex-Flyer scoring rule. That is Upshall, who inexplicably was 0-11 against the Flyers until scoring this week finally. All the other guys, even total bums like car bomb are guaranteed to score against us....very odd.

jammer2 Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 @ Odds say JVR will score, and I don't like the return....BUT I HATE players with no heart, guys that can't rise to the occasion are no go's for me....let him rot in TO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent05 Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 @The failure of this team is not lead by Clarke, it's Ed Snider. He hires these puppets to do his dirty works so he doesn't look bad when the team is horrible. He's just as bad as Jerry Jones but he goes about it smarter then Jones. Hopefully Hextall ends this BS and rebuilds this team correctly, we will find out soon I hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammer2 Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 @Vincent05 The big question Vince, is the following....is Hexy different from all the other lackey's?? Is he his own man?? Did he put certain "rules" in effect when taking this job?? The answer will be in he pudding as they say....time will tell if Snider is indeed still pulling the strings. I guess we will never know for sure, but certain moves could give us the answers we are seeking. My gut tells me that Hexy is different. The simple reason being, he didn't "have" to choose the Flyers, he had built up a nice resume already, so I'm sure other teams were interested. Why would he put his professional resume on the line when he can be his own man on other teams? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyercanuck Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 @jammer2 So far he's stuck with Berube who would already have been fired by past gms. I'm not saying Berubes his man or anything, but at least he's not just reacting for the sake of it. Same goes for trades...past regimes would have already dealt away some of those young defencemen for more of the same crap we already have. Or Laughton and our 1st for a winger to help the first line...but who'd be retiring in 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammer2 Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 @flyercanuck The other part of the equation is just pure stats. Despite the flack that Craig takes here, his record is 53-41-16....which is not so bad when you take into account he was brought in mid season to right a sinking ship and didn't receive any breaks as far as new players this season to fix what ailed them....all in all, that is a pretty respectable stat line.

Yes but to what end....he takes up a top 6 spot and fails when the going gets tough.....stats are not everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murraycraven Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Yes but to what end....he takes up a top 6 spot and fails when the going gets tough.....stats are not everything.He would look a lot better playing on the first line than what Schenn looks like on defense. I understand why he was traded but we lost that trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammer2 Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 @murraycraven Don't know how long it will last, but JVR has been kicked off the top line, replaced with the oft injured Lupul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol... I get it jammer and I think JvR is a slug. I understand why they traded him but Schenn is the part of the equation that bothers me... He stinks.JvR does have 28 points in 32 games on a winning squad this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gets 25,000 blind bats to sell out every game and could careless except to be loyal to his ex-players, rewarding them as coaches. Why have an actually good strategy when asses are in the seats? He is as egomaniacal as Jerry Jones when it comes to thinking he has knowledge of the league and the players in his sport and how it should be played.

If we see Hextall starting trading young assets away for old dogs then we know for sure who is running the show. Or will Snider fire Hextall if they miss the playoffs the next few years and ticket sales start falling. I will stop being a Flyers fan if either of those happens and will only return to watching them again is when Snider is dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He knows how to run a successful business and sells his product to the fans well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
