trade him now, value will never be higher

So what are the odds homer gets the axe if the pens destroy us tommorow? (I'm afraid of a desperation trade for a over the hill vet)

+100.

Homer has time following what I'll call the bye week. Wins need to happen after that.

Chadwick is gone...

If it's about Bryz, it's not funny. He was release because it's time for the season to start and he had no intention of playing in the ECHL. Only training. Guy's a schmuck but this is irrelevant

now we now who the bryzgalov apologists are

Now that the tiny part of the government is back up, does that mean our offense can begin to score again?

If you combined the 2 teams into 1 team, the new team would have to be a favorite to win the stanley cup.

He's a pending UFA I believe. I also want to lauridsen up in this new system. It's closer to the style he played last year and had success. I totally believe he's a better puck mover than coburn, gross, or schenn

This has to be a joke. Lauridsen is easily the worst puck mover out of that group.

Lauridsen is just the latest grass is greener player. But he's totally known to be a solid puck mover!

Yes...I'd be on board with this. We don't tank, but we move carefully given the current roster and prospect makeup, and with an eye toward the window opening wider some 2-4 years from now and staying open for the following 10. The fans and the organization have to be willing to take those short term struggles with the kind of patience and understanding they haven't really demonstrated in the past, if that is the course to be taken...we're talking giving more responsibility to the youth, letting them learn on the fly, putting them in positions to produce if they can, despite the mistakes they will undoubtedly make...it also means being on the lookout for deals that ship overpaid vets for select, high value (younger) assets when it makes sense, it means making prudent deals, not locking into pricey 4+ year NMC deals with aging players, but being somewhat budget conscious and staying in the race for the top young players that might come onto the market while leaving room to sign your own to reasonable deals..it means keeping an eye on the coaching market, to see if no-brainer upgrades become available...

As fans, we have to be patient with the younger players and expect some growing pains...don't assume they're busts after a year or two. Keep an eye on the prize and stay with the team.

Also, I think the GM has to be given some time for things to play out before he's judged to be a failure and fired. This whole transition from the Carter/Richards/Pronger/Briere (Timonen) era to the younger core led by G wasn't going to be an instant turnaround. We went younger and took a step or two back near term, but there are some really good young players/prospects in the organization now, brought here by Holmgren and co. I think it's shortsighted and ignorant to run the guy out of town because that youth isn't ready to take on the league's best just yet. I could see Homer being fired in and then Hextall or whoever being the beneficiary of much of his work in a few years. Holmgren has made his mistakes, but he's not on a path to ruin here...yeah there's a couple overpriced aging vets and some expendables, but they (some) will likely be gone soon...otherwise, he's set up the team with a fairly good youth movement that's lost on most of the Flyers mainstream media types.

P.S. in my prior long rant from this afternoon when I was going over the youth movement, I didn't even mention Hagg or Simmonds as part oft he future, but absolutely they are...Simmer is caught in the same muck as the rest of the team, but he's shown he can be a threat when he's on his game, which will be at some point when the team is seeing better days.

wow get out of my head!

Hopefully a little blood feud with the Pens gets some of our guys going.

It's hockey season and Pens Flyers game days are always full of anticipation for me.
One of the days it just feels exciting.

Likely there will be the usual idiotic Crosby suks chants followed by him having a 5 point night. The Flyers have showed some positive signs lately. You never know what could happen.

I can see game going like this tonight... We start with energy and after first period it's tied 1-1. We get our hopes up maybe we csn take the mighty pens down and go into the week off with a win. Pens come out in 2nd and 3rd and put up 3 in each period. We lose 7-1. Hockeybuzz goes apesh:t with much pen trolling
