Chip's a dip and has gone cray cray.
- hockeylover

Never should have gotten full control of the team, he has a good eye for for talent but he's not a good negotiator and has no experience when it comes to making trades, evaluating projected draft positions for players, offering contracts, etc.

They better, if it's just a (frank)ing swap of 2nds or even just getting a 2nd this is a (frank)ing joke. It's still a joke either way IMO, but this is the joy of being an Eagles fan

if they move up from 20 to 10 i think it gives them a ton of flexibility ....plus they get more picks next year

I don't agree with you even a little bit. It's kinda hard to tell what he can do on the fourth line with players who aren't very talented. I think it's a little sad when fans have to rashanize the preference of one player based on how bad their team is doing. Lecavalier has been scratched or on the fourth line all season. The first time he was scratched, he deserved it but after that, I don't think he's looked any worse then anyone else out of Simmonds, White and Voracek on the roster. Giroux hasn't been Giroux this season. Good but great.

oh, you mean like art ross akeson?

Should have kept Foles and drafted Landon Collins.

If Bradford wasn't a shoulder injury waiting to happen I'd feel better about this. I still prefer Foles, but Bradford is just as good of a passer in the short/medium range game.

By appointment for a reasonable fee?

I thought you were bothered by MDZ's 10 game benching? AMac's 3 different stints in the press box? VLC scratched in favor of Rino?
- wolfhounds

I wouldn't say bothered by it, certainly don't agree with every move made by Berube.

- hammarby31

I just didn't like Akeson. He's under sized, not very strong, not great defensively and he's been in this organzation a while now and has never proved to be more then what he is.

Im asking the expert. Because sports medicine is not my strong suit.

More dodging. I'm trying to discuss the situation with you objectively, which apparently you're not interested in. That's fine. I'll gladly defer to you if the discussion was sports medicine. While part of it indirectly, the discussion is a hockey discussion.

Why did it take 67 games for Craig Berube to scratch R.J. Umberger? Why now? Why Tuesday night, all of a sudden, with just 15 games to play, after the Flyers’ playoff chances were already shot?

“Because I just wanted to, that’s why,” Berube responded.

Hey, put Vinny on L1 and PP1, more power to you.

I want that 7th-overall pick!

Berube strikes as a Coach who's ego is or has allowed his ego get the better of him.

I wasn't in favor of replacing him until the last couple of weeks. His personnel management has become ridiculous. People ripped Laviolette for the goalie carousel and now Berube is pulling this poop for no apparent reason, or none that he'd like to admit. He's lost me and seems like he's lost the team. They aren't playing like they like him, that's for sure.

GOODBYE BEROOBIE

I'm pretty good. Watching all of my philadelphia teams collapse at once is quite amazing

Do you think he's making a mistake by sitting Umberger out a game?

Nope, thought it should have been done ages ago.

Eagles trade Nick Foles. Interesting.

It's beautiful, isn't it? In a twisted sort of way.

What's become so ridiculous about his personnel management then?

When asked why he did it, Kelly responded, “Because I just wanted to, that’s why."

I get the sneaking feeling that he's that dimwitted boss that everybody makes fun of when he's out of the room.

Can anybody really take that derp face seriously?
