So it will be a 6 year tank?

Better than another 12 years of mediocrity.

On an unrelated note, how about the Sixers hiring an advisor for the front office?
- MJL

Supposedly the rest of the league and NBA is fed up with 76ers and Adam Silver stepped in and met with 76ers to hire advisor

So the Vinny announcement tomorrow is to update everyone that he has a stiff back? (frank)ing laughable.

I saw that, can't blame them if it's true.

The Plan needs a little help getting to phase 2

The league forced this upon them. Hinkie will trade Okafor at the deadline as part of a power move.

Step one in validating an LTIR condition?

I hope so. Nobody deserves to start their career in that crap show.

It's fappening

Accept it™

I don't either but Hextall has always been secretive and less than forthcoming with injuries and.wants to be controlling with that info to the media. I'm sure he has his reasons, right or wrong.
- MJL

The Flyers have never had any luck with diagnosing injuries. I think as an Organization the have decided to be very cautious...and with good reason...Public perception has been the Flyers put winning ahead of a players well being. If I were Hextall I wouldn't say squat either. Be patient and methodical. Protect the organization and its reputation.

I saw that. Dude needs an adviser of his own. Too bad they don't have solid vets to teach him how to be a pro.

Maybe he's got a more serious back problem and going on LTIR until his contract expires?

Were I Hextall, I wouldn't have said anything at all today. If there is something to talk about tomorrow, talk about it tomorrow.

I think the media would have noticed that he didn't skate and would ask questions. He could lie and say it's a maintenance day or say the dreaded LBI or UBI and will be further evaluated. I guess we'll find out tomorrow.

Watch them say tomorrow that he had the flu and they didnt want him around the team. #H1N1

Other players are instructed to accidentally fire the puck at him?

I wouldn't doubt that's its something very minor.

For the sake of the severe boredom I have at work, IF Stamkos were to hit free agency this summer, would you want Philly to take a run at him? Would you trade Jake or G to make room for him?

Definitely be interested, but I think I would look to other teams who are trying to get him and see if they are selling on anyone.
