Sounds like they quit for good. Hence the venting.

It's really too bad because the people in here do need a nanny or poop just gets wild.

Briere has been the gm for a week.

Hey Mr obtuse no crap. Can’t make this more clear. They surely have talked about players before he became gm. Do you get that? No one ever said briere became gm and called his buddy to discuss hart or any other player. The hats what makes you obtuse. Slow to understand.

There’s absolutely ZERO chance that an ex nhl goalie hasn’t talked to his best friend who’s in hockey also about a goalie on his friends team.

There is zero chance that in the context of this conversation and your attempt to use Biron because he is friends with Briere, that Briere has had any conversation with Biron about anything internal or official with the Flyers. Again, Biron has no link to Buffalo hockey ops. So therefore, anything Biron is saying on the air, is speculation. Nothing Biron has said or the fact that he is friends with Briere, supports your claim that Bill or I are wrong about our speculation that Buffalo is not going to trade a high-level asset such as their first-round pick, which could be a top 15 pick just for two years of Hart with no intention of re-signing him. They very well could trade for him with the idea of Hart being their future goalie. Which then brings in the situation with Levy.

As I've explained to you numerous times. There is a difference between a GM or someone talking to a member of media about a player AND, now this is the difference here. Talking to a member of media, whether friends or not, about an official position or future specific plans of the team he works for. Other than general responses such as we're going to rebuild. Or we're going to be active in free agency.

Allison signed a cheap two year show us deal and the Flyers, not even half way through that with 45 games played are pulling out on him. He is 25. Just stupid to not give him next season to show additional improvement.

We’ll see where this goes. The Torts delivery lacked thoughtfulness. Allison, when he plays, improves the team. If you are going say work on it, but not give him the track to do it, then…another reason the Flyers development sucks.

- NC Flyers Fan


Agreed. Tortorella's comments are often not well thought out and without value.

Right now if Tippet is in your top 6, you are not a contending team either. However anyone watching can see there is a lot more there with Tippet and his ceiling is absolutely a top 6 forward. With Frost, though I admit he has proven he can play in the NHL, I really can't say I know what his ceiling is. It may be a top 6 role someday, but I just don't think it will be on the Flyers.

I keep reading anyone with a brain or anyone watching comments. Factual data was provided to you on Frost that shows that your statement of there is a lot more there with Tippet and that he has a more defined ceiling is incorrect. They are very equal in terms of quality of player and talent. You dismiss those facts and stick to the narrative.

It’s permanent. Some enterprising soul threatened him with legal action. Some people get triggered and react border line unhinged. Why anyone would want to be a mod here is beyond me.

I couldn’t care less what you think. If you believe biron has no connection to buffalo player ops I can’t help you.

Really over the top reaction by someone to being offended by a Moderator. He had a similar sendoff on the Leafs blog where he attacked posters. Ironic for sure.

I'm sure not everyone agrees, but I appreciate Alf and the job he did on here. I have nothing against busting chops here and there, as long as it doesn't involve personal insults, foul language, and political bs. Of course we will have disagreements, and it has been especially frustrating being Flyers fans so the disagreements can be a bit tense at times. Bottom line is that we are Flyers fans and want the best for our team. If we can keep it relatively cordial like it's been recently, there is no need for a mod.
