It’s understandable for fans to be upset. Duck fans, including myself, were pissed over the Justin Schultz debacle. So a lot of us completely understand feeling slighted. However, in defense of Cutter, no matter his reasons, at least he did the Flyers a solid and gave them ample time to trade him away and recoup assets. Schultz simply lied and lead the Ducks to believe he would be signing until the 11th hour when they could not get anything in return for him.Oh yeah I guess the Flyers should be thrilled about the situation. How could we be so silly.
Honestly, Flyers management smearing Cutter is the best thing they've done all year. It's arguably the only issue the fans & management agree on.
And yet, when Justin Schultz did worse to the Ducks, a lot of people here and elsewhere, said well, that's hockey and he had every right not to sign with the Ducks even though he gave them every indication he would sign with them until it was too late for the Ducks to move him for anything. The prevailing attitude was good for Schultz (and good for him to hold court with the GMs pitching him to sign with their team like he was LeBron James or something) and too bad for the Ducks and Ducks fans.Eh, I actually don't think they need to because it hurts even more when you're directly involved in it.
I think the "smear" campaign came from that one writer (independent of the Flyers) who suggested Kevin Hayes had something to do with him not leaving, and he was rightly called out by Torts. But even so, I totally understand them being mad about it, and I don't fault them at all for publicly or privately cursing him.
Ha. Kings fans hated Getzlaf, Perry and Kesler.As a Kings fan absolutely.
As a hockey fan they've had more than a few players I've liked individually over the years.. Selanne, Giguere, Niedermayer, Pronger, Getzlaf, Perry, Penner, Kesler, Bieksa, Gibson..
That problem is solved with guys like Zegras and Gauthier
then how about get the f*** out of the thread you started derailing five posts ago?If Ducks fans are happy with him good for ya'll, enjoy your guy. I've said my piece, not gunna win the court of public opinion on this one. Respectfully ill happily hate the Ducks and shit on him where appropriate
Lol here comes another Kings fan chiming in on a Ducks player…There's a difference between cheering for and liking. I was a fan long before he was on the Ducks
Kesler was a prick to play against. Gauthier seems like a genuine douche off the ice. Big difference.
0/2
Smart fans know that the Flyers could have signed Gauthier a year ago and are desperate to cover their ass now.Oh yeah I guess the Flyers should be thrilled about the situation. How could we be so silly.

No, Briere has not explained why he did his smearing campaignDid it ever come out about why he was so juvenile about the whole situation?
He got his first point - assist (which I suppose technically makes him a PPG player for the 23-24 season...), several shots on goal, contributed to the offense, and didn't look lost/awed by the level of play in the NHL. For a first game with a team that he had very little practice time with, he did fine.How was his first game? I missed it
Now, now. Dry your eyes, little feller. Your impotent rage is showing.Bum. I hope his stick breaks every time he's staring at an open cage
No tears here. I'm excited to see him get the JD Drew treatment. If there's one thing Philly fans love to do, it's hate.Now, now. Dry your eyes, little feller. Your impotent rage is showing.
