@tonyescargot I heard the vocal majority on the broadcast in 1st period. I had to stand next to my TV and turn it up real loud but your presence was felt. Also the Flyers very clearly conspired to announce the penalty at ~14:58 to drown out the chant.
@JimIkeHW@Spider28Spider Problem is there may never be a perfect "right guy" scenario. Look at how many "top players" have moved over the last 10-15 years of mediocrity and Flyers justified it as not the "right time, right fit" and now we are here. Get A guy and see if it works.
@SuitableAlias Wait til some bubble teams are underperforming next season. I did no research but look at the Petersson/Miller stuff this past year. Players may come available, you just can't always wait.
@jelynchjr Feels bad right now but you gotta remember that Bob was run out of Cbus, and all but lost his starting job in FL as recently as 3 post seasons ago. He is very good and has gotten better with age but he probably doesn't survive the 2012-24 Flyers era either.
@avappleyard Fair to say too that about half that lists prime was from post 05 lockout to late 2010s when skill over size started to make a resurgence.
@cartmag_mark@avappleyard@NHL Fair to say too you got exceptional value from TK, Giroux, Coots. And of the 1st and 2nd round picks in the modern era you have a fair number of NHL regulars, they just haven't been the right fit for Flyers at the right time. It's not exactly a draft problem...
@cartmag_mark@avappleyard@NHL I'm mischaracterizing Alex's statistical analysis here but Flyers needed 2/3 of Patrick/Gauthier/Michkov to hit big w/ ~1 being a HHoFer out of their 3 top 10 picks in 10 years. Patrick was the bust and we lost Cutter for reasons. Your hopes lie with Michkov and what comes next
@KDFLYER@BeeTEE15 Fair amount of revisionist history here. We would have run Bob out of town on the heels of some of his down years in Cbus if they happened here. Fair to say some viewed his contract as one of the worst in the league AND he lost his starting job in Florida before winning the cup
@PHLY_Flyers@charlieo_conn Call me a fair weather fan if you will but I tune in mostly to watch Mich and the top of lineup guys. I don't care about wins and losses at this point. A Michkov G or A is what I want. And if I paid to be in the arena I'd be even more pissed off.
@B_Sommermann@NHLFlyers read the comments on this thread. The fans have had enough of this BS. Mich needs ice time and needs to make mistakes, not a benching after every bad decision. It's time to blow out the coaching staff.
