I would just like to start an honorary insanity club for those who will be slightly upset to see Lava fired.

We can have a bonfire and give man hugs to those in need.

I would be a lot more willing, if there was someone more likely than Murray or Paddock.

What is the objection to Murray? That he will actually hold guys accountable? That he stresses responsible play and discipline?

I know you think that he's some sort of cut rate Jacques Lemaire, but in 10 of Murray's 15 years as a NHL head coach, his team was in the top ten in the NHL in goals scored. Unlike Peter Laviolette, Murray can change his game plan to fit the pieces he has on his roster. He's shown it over many successful years as a head coach.

It's cool that stud Briere needs all the playing time he can get.

Considering how Kimmo just signed an extension with a NMC, gotta feeling he has no interest in moving under any circumstances.
- ravishingone


Timonen is still good. He's just not good enough to compensate for the complete lack of structure and discipline on this team. Especially not when he's battling an injury like he is now.

He would look much much better if we had any semblance of responsible structure or discipline, as would the rest of the D. Right now he is taking too many risks and getting caught more than normal because the Flyers are either chasing the game or hemmed in their own end or both. The issues on this team are primarily with the forwards, and the way the coaches have them playing.

Don't get me wrong, Gervais does suck, and he should never ever be out on the PK like he seems to be lately. But that is by no means the biggest issue.

I'll be upset to see Laviolette fired. There's a difference between liking a guy-and I like Laviolette-and thinking he should remain as head coach.

kimmo isn't a top pairing guy anymore. simple solution is to put him on the second pairing.
only problem is they need him on the top pairing. which is why he looks the way he does.
It's like asking me to be on the third pairing, when I shouldn't even be in the locker room.

Murray for all of his good work, struggled to get consistency for the Kings as well.

He doesnt seem to me, like the guy who can take this team to the top. Murray also hasn't won a playoff round in how long? Murray scares me. Too much of a Stevens vibe.

His ties are ugly as well.

I'm really surprised that people don't believe in this coach or the team anymore. This team is still learning and will get better. Plenty of time left in the season.

they have to turn it around quickly, but it's too early to write off the season, imo.
