Serious question now that this Jonesy and JJ "secret" recording is starting to pick up steam. What do you think are the ramifications of this? I personal think it's not a big deal. Off air, just venting their frustrations like the rest of us. But, I'm starting to see it make its way around the internet. It may continue to gain speed. I'd hate for anything serious to come of this. Other than Jakey having his feelings hurt.

Have the Flyers made an official statement on this?

I'm genuinely curious to see how the Flyers handle this and I wonder if JJ will say anything about it tonight.

Everything I have heard about him is Patrick Kane but faster.

From what I have seen of him Ill go with another US hockey great...

Paul Kariya.

I expect JJ to tell everyone that he has forgiven himself and that it's time to trade all of these heartless bums.

If I were them, I would apologize to any players I besmirched privately and in person. Then forget about it. Really, who watched this team night after night this season and isn’t frustrated? Feelings happen, people are human. It didn’t bother me at all and if I was one of those players, I would understand too.

What kind of contract do you expect for Provorov? And why isn’t he producing this year? Did he take a step back or the team just hasn’t been that good? Wondering because of a fantasy league if I should pick him up

I have tickets for this mess.

I just hope they have it turned around by then.

Just don't get (frank)ing embarrassed.

- johndewar


Two years ago they weren't great and in the Stadium Series game they scared a lot of Pens fans who I talked with as we walked out.

And like i said earlier it wouldn't shock me if they beat Washington tonight.

About the same as they've won without him.

If I'm the Flyers I try to move all my UFA's plus Voracek but I want Voracek to be hockey trade. I also reach out to see what GM's are offering on Ghost. No need to move him, but if someone blows you away with like 2 good prospects, 2 firsts, and a bunch of other picks.... I think Tampa would kill to have ghost on thier team, signed for what he's signed at.

This is an overreaction in my opinion.

So I haven't been watching much of the games recently. I'll watch part & fast forward through most. So same results just with a different coach. SO has the team just completely quit for the year? Is it time to just really blow up this team where no one is safe from trading? In all seriousness why watch or go to the games if this is the disaster they have become.

These guys have been together so long if there was a locker room issue it would've come to a head by now.

It's really not any more complicated than just being a bad mix of players.

- hereticpride


The current state of the team is not just about a bad mix of players in my opinion. That's part of it but even with the mix, this team should be much better.

His play is slowly improving and hes jumping in on more scoring chances. But if +/- counts in your pool, I would avoid him.

My personal opinion is that whoever circulated the recording is a low life.

A little from column A, a little from column B.

I can't help but wonder if he hasn't fully recovered from his shoulder injury from last year. He never got surgery for it and I can't help but wonder if it didn't impact his off season training (which, allegedly, is considerable).

I don't think a player of his age and skillset suddenly goes bad. I just think he's having a bad year. He'll get a healthy deal when it's time.

1. A minimum of 4 years, a bargain (there’s the silver lining)
2. Combo issues...usage, poor team play, confidence, the unknown
3. He is good and will bounce back at least by next year.
4. No

Just going off Bill’s projected line ups. But I would assume so Hart doesn’t go b2b nights

Didn't it go out publicly?
Protocol should be for mics to be turned off when not broadcasting.

yes true and I feel sorry for you. When a team isn't good, but tries you can support them. But this poop can't be support.
