It's sort of unbelievable. He hasn't been awful, but he has been inconsistent.

He's also got no luck whatsoever.

- Jsaquella


Its like Thoreson, he just cant catch a break.

At the end of the day in this salary cap world I look at what he provides for what he is paid, and for the term of his contract.

Inconsistency is a killer.

The next guy will be great. Lavi can't make adjustments. Reminds me of Andy Reid.

Looking forward to the guy they hire who has a Cup on his resume.

If it's Murray certainly not. He won't have the longevity to coach 23 games against those teams.

Couturier was terrific last year. This year not so much. Takes D-man much longer time to develop. Hamilton is struggling mightily for the Bruins.
- PLindbergh31


Cooties was incredible last season defensively. He even showed elements of a good offensive game.

This season is really a step back, in every department, even in terms of effort in the simplest of things.

I think there was a time when he was considered untouchable. He was even to me, to a degree. He is not anymore. Under the right deal, he can be replaced. Its hard because the kid is so young, and I know everything is overanalyzed a bit but he has shown me some things this year that are concerning.

It's about making money, not success on the ice. Rangers were still getting crowds & making money. Always will - their fans are not fair weather.

Yup thanks. Been crying after every playoff ouster since 1980

He will probably be traded at some point. He wasn't moved for Weber, instead he will be traded for a guy that isn't half the player Weber is.

So if Murray is named coach, what has he done for you lately? Guy hasn't won a playoff series in 15 years.

Really? Hmm...If Laviolette if fired tomorrow, he would have coached 24 fewer games as Flyers head coach than Murray did as LA's coach.

He blows! Playing on the second pairing on the top team in the East. Not to mention he leads the B's defense core in scoring. He's a (frank)ing stiff.

Won't know unless he gets an opportunity. Not asking for Murray to get the job anyways. Just asking for a change at this point. This team is horrendous defensively and part of that goes with the coaching.

I'll stop because its getting a little wild but that wouldnt suprise me the least.

Crazy times indeed. Looking forward to what is done in the summer/draft.

That doesn't fly when the owner comes out and publicly orders the GM to "fix" the goaltending.
- Jsaquella


It does to me when the GM hasn't placed a quality goaltender between the pipes since 1987.

Just wondering.

The lockout had me in kind of a "meh" mood before this season began.

Anyone else getting close to it?

So, we should ignore all the other pronouncements of the owner, too? How dare we criticize Mr. Snider and his Good Ol Boy network?

One team came to play hockey today. The Flyers looked like an AHL team out there today.
