Thanks for continuing to care enough to put out these GDTs, MSE, even though the info is probably about as essential as monitoring vital signs during an autopsy. You deserve a special award for not abandoning your hallowed post.

The condensed schedule with limited opponents makes it much easier than prior years. But thank you.

 

[Flyerfan4life]

so well captured this season

 

[TheKingPin]

York or I don’t care

*to the tune of Blitzkrieg Bop*

This team sucks

- Per Larry Brooks

I’m not buying this for a second.

1) Larry Brooks is an idiot
2) Fletcher is an idiot

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Would be best to throw this one away.

Jeff Carter in a Penguins uniform

Old Jeff Carter in a Pens uniform skating through the slow Flyers team like they are bunch of orange traffic pylons is even worse.

2) Fletcher is an idiot

Good points. But as Flyers fans, are we allowed to have any hope?

 

[Striiker]

Absolutely not. No hope. No happiness.

 

[Domino666]

Nope, we’re all destined to suffer

Throw out every bit of analysis Brooks does. San Filippo has his poster on the wall of his tree fort. His NY sources are impeccable, though. Make of that what you will. I sure don't know.

[JojoTheWhale]

I have no idea why a NY writer would have that info. I'm not. I swear.

The simple solution is that someone with Rangers connections thinks this. That doesn't mean it's right.

Hard to imagine AV walking away from $15M, but stranger things have happened.
Though if he's burned out he might negotiate a settlement.

OK, so I'm going to make a note that you're personally guaranteeing that the coaches will be fired and we'll revisit this later in the summer.

Maybe he is spiteful... IIRC he was on the fire AV train pretty early compared to others. Plenty of their writers talked about AV like Bill Shilltzer does now.
