Perhaps its time for Comcast to step in and retire Snyder.

Comcast doesn't care, the money is rolling in. What other sport do you have a team cancel a season, then 7 years later cancel half of another and see ticket sales go up....despite a price increase?!?!?

Bad defenseman who has done nothing but play for bad teams. Issues are much bigger than him. I like the coach, but something has to give. If he's fired the GM should be out the door with him.

It's stated a lot that the Flyers got Bryz because of Snider's comments in the media about goalies.... but we don't know that Snider and Holmgren didn't both make that decision together. Right or wrong, I don't think Holmgren can just be absolved from getting Bryzgalov, just because Snider said publicly he wanted a goalie. Holmgren may well have wanted the exact same thing

What is Homer to do? He did what he could to get the best UFA and best RFA defenseman. I don't see where he is at fault.

So Holmgren's inability to offer $250mm to Weber & Suter has you more pissed off than Laviolette's inability to tweak his system?
- Jsaquella


Holmgren gave up one of the biggest assets for a one dimensional d-man.

Threw out money for FA but once that failed, do not tell me the best he could have done is bring in Luke Schenn, Foster and Gervais. The Flyers will always have to overpay for talented d-men. They will have to do so now, they will have had to then.

How about not giving up JVR for a one dimensional d-man?

I think its time to admit the Flyers got their ass felt up on that deal. Gave up a big asset.

I am not Holmgren, and do not have his contacts, but I find it a little hard to believe the best he could do was Luke Schenn, Foster and Gervais.

Flyers have scored no 3rd period goals in last 6 games.

- flyer_nutter


JVR would certainly fix the team defensive issues that his team has, and the reasons why they are a bad team. The second sentence is just flat out ridiculous.

Bill Meltzer ‏@billmeltzer

Put entire Devils starting six D on Flyers and you know what... they'd still be an awful defensive team. So it's NOT just personnel.

Bill bringing the heat tonight.

Hell no its not.

Top to bottom. Every player, and from the top of the organization.

Nutter, we're cool, but JVR for Schenn reversed means JVR is up front and Gervais and Foster are playing with maybe Wade Redden coming in. Not going to be a difference maker when this team is circling the drain nightly.
