    Don’t care. Too little too late.

    It should’ve never gotten even close to this far, and until that entire board of advisors is gone and major changes in approach from ownership take place, we’ve got a long fucking way to go until this ship’s course is corrected.

    But today is an *enormous* step in the right direction. We can finally start to heal from all of the damage that dipshit did

  4. It’s a good start. The whole FO shares responsibility for the state of the team and needs to go. No one stepped up at the TDL. No one intervened in the Risto and TDA trades. Talent evaluation never got better. Cap management and trade assets got a lot worse.

    It’s a National Woman and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day miracle!

    YESSSS. Today we rejoice, tomorrow we march again! Not until every last old boy is gone do we sleep.

    Step 1 of many I’m hoping.

    While this is cool, why the fuck did you allow him to destroy the trade deadline and give us another completely futile year of hockey? Then you Trot him out to the fans and then fire him a week later? Give me a break.

    Even when they fire a moron they find a way to do it moronically. It’s unreal.

  9. Should have happened before the deadline but oh well the constant rebuilding continues

    Should have fired Fletcher when they fired Vigneault

    I am wearing my Flyers tie today

    oh big breaths. big sighs of relief.

    this is too late and not enough but a step in the right direction. strip the rest of the organization before the off season begins.

    It’s kind of funny to me guys like Holmgren Barber Clarke would rather tarnish their legacy than go enjoy retirement

    GREAT first step. This day of reckoning has been years in the making for us, and even though the writing has been on the wall for awhile, it’s still a great feeling.

    It’s only the first step though. That front office needs gutted to the core, and if the same good ol boys are pulling the strings with a new face to take the bullets, nothing will change for the better.

    But, for the first time in a long time, we have some reason to be hopeful, and that’s a beautiful thing.

    i feel a little excited to be a flyers fan now. i want to rebuild so badly and see these young players grow, and get good trade returns on our already-established NHL players to help with the future.

    I wasn’t a big fan of this GM with the overspending on many players using up ALL the cap space Hextall worked so hard to free up. However, with that said, the full team he assembled never actually took the ice together for long. Injuries to key players like Atkinson, Ellis and now Couturier, we never got the full effect. But I also think this teams issues go far beyond the GM. I feel ownership set him up to fail, especially with their aggressive re-tool statement which led to zip. Granted, He has not been great, but it seems to me he’s more of a scapegoat for management. My guess is management got wind of the planned sell the team protest set by fans for tomorrow.

    They have been grooming Danny Briere for this position and were holding on as long as they could before promoting him. Does Danny Briere have better contacts and/or relationships in the league?; let’s hope so. Do they think he’s really ready? He’s actually only interim GM right now.
