I was offered tickets and a parking pass to the Devils game just a week or so ago. I turned it down.

They were playing the Devils and anyone with a brain knew how that game was going to play out.

This team has become so painful to watch, something had to give.

Let's just say he would not be warmly welcome at the proposed Buzzgate get together.

Feanor is the Paul Holmgren of Middle Earth. Make bold, rash decisions, and when you flame out, burden others with the future.

We thank Ron for his many significant contributions, but it has become clear that we no longer share the same philosophical approach concerning the direction of the team.


Seriously chilling.

These are very troublesome times. Didn’t think this was a possibility this year. Overall I liked Hexys tenure but to come back with those goalies was inexcusable. It truly was

After he was fired Lombardi said his down fall was being to loyal to guys. i think if it was him he would be a good guy to have because he's had the highs of a cup and the lows of trying to stay competitive but failing.

In a way didn't it benefit Roseman when he was kind of moved out for a while and he saw his mistakes and then once GM again worked on his weakness to build a superbowl team?

Mikey Miss is a pompous ass who doesn't know or care about hockey.

Is that not the truth?

Do you not see the roster this coach has to work with? The "goaltending" this coach has to work with?

it's a goat rope. and i've lost track of how many times i've heard in the last 3 days "the flyers haven't had a goalie since 'Nam" in the media...which is really just not true.
this might be his greatest failure.

When it came out, I overlooked it as another generic movie like Road Trip and Dude Where's My Car. Then I watched it out of boredom one day, and now I watch it whenever it's on. The little kid is fantastic.

While I think Mikey Miss is as useful as sand in the desert their was some weird horrible dynamic going on this season that was creeping into the team.

As far as the second part, I'm not from philly nor am I an Eagles fan so really don't know the details but yes, you would hope he would learn from past experiences. However, you never know with these guys.

Feanor and I are elves vs dwarves right now now over if Coots is a top 15 or top 8 center in the league.

Serious business.
