All of sports is based on wishful thinking. I’m cynical enough to think “believe” should be a very high bar but with a couple shrewd moves, I think this team can improve noticeably this season. Noticeable enough to be pretty entertaining.
I don’t see it. This management team has shown me next to nothing to give them any leadway.
I don’t expect that from Bonk at all. How manyD have they drafted in the last dozen years that is a good quality NHL defenseman? 3? 4?
The D needs help now and the future. The Cubbard is pretty bare.
I have once again little faith the Flyers brass being shrewd or savy. They will overpay for a dman and strut around like the smartest guys in the room.
Flyer Frank they were the 4th worse team so they should improve by default. Really doesn’t mean much.
Their drafting leaves a lot to be desired. Then looking at development also not anything to hang your hat on.
The path the Flyers have chosen is a path that will continue to flutter and induce many more years of pain for Flyers fans.
Forget the talent for a second. Look at the Flyers team/organizational philosophy. Do you or anyone believe that will lead to success?
That top 6 needs a lot of work. Not a Jamie fan and Zamula and Andrea aren’t difference makers. If Grans can help, great. Bonk will likely get a full year in the A. They need to add a Top 4 Dman through either trade or as a UFA who can help starting on opening night.
Needs a ton of work. They need 2 legit top 4 defensemen with one hopefully being a legit top pair.
Zamula and Andre are dime a dozen at this stage. Still some hope Andre can be an efficient bottom pair guy on the cheap.
I jsut don’t think they give Grans a real shot. They have next to nothing in the system after Bonk. That is really fucking disgraceful.
What should do is the opposite on what the will do. It really is a franchise that lacks any real plan or long term blueprint to being a successful team.
This 3 headed monster is now in their 3rd off season. Can one honestly say there has been a lot of progress?
Let’s see what the next 5 weeks bring. I myself have very very little faith.
I am not familiar enough with either coach to be able to form an informed opinion.
Fair enough. Friends of the Coach with no real track record of success. That’s underwhelming to me.
Said that yesterday about the Q. I jsut think his ceiling isn’t very high. I would rather swing for the fence with McQueen then take the safe Laughton will be an NHL player player type. Using him as an example not saying Desnoyers is another Laughton. Laughtchenko holds that title.

Thankfully the Flyers have York, Andrea, and JD and didn’t need to add that type of talent
Seems like another underwhelming hire.
Stay away from Desnoyers. That will be another pick that haunts the Flyers if made IMOIf you think Hague is a top 4 for a lot, or most teams in the league. Then either you don’t know Hague or hockey very well. He is poor defensively and not good offensively. What would better goaltending and a top 4 defenseman do for the Flyers? Put them back in the playoff bubble? Whoopee! They need top draft picks to try and acquire elite talent. They need to tank. Anything else is just more of the same Flyers nonsense leading to nowhere and the inevitable cycle that they’ve been in for about 15 years now.
It is crystal clear the Flyers will not and are not going to “tank”. To talk about it is fruitless. They will try to make moves to get better. Time to add per the putz GM. Time to focus on what they will do.
My guess is you have seen Hague play at best a few times and really have no idea who he is just basing in on others opinions.
Just think of Torts didn’t get himself Dora’s he would still be the coach.
Not sure what any player wants a long term deal with the Flyers except for the money. Especially a talented young guy
lol you sound miserable.
it’s going to be ok. squeeze a pill
still sucking the Flyers crank I see. Truth hurts for some I see.
It was said few months back York didn’t want a long term deal
That coaching hire is very uninspiring
