Fire(d) Fletcher

[Starat327]

Out of shape teams don't dominate the pace in OT. They had zero trouble keeping up in the round robin and were stronger than their opponents. They were in shape. They were badly coached to play passive trash hockey once the real games started.

No roster can win playing the style AV had them play, regardless of goaltending. As we saw. Even if it were true that the roster wasn't in shape (which it isn't), then the blame still falls on coaches when the problem is that widespread.

It's been over a year and we still have to listen to this conditioning bullshit that is EASILY disproven.

Whatever it takes to shill for management.

The Round Robin? You mean the exhibition games, b/c that's how most teams treated them - because there was no home ice advantage in the bubble.
They were clearly not in shape in the bubble, except ironically Voracek. The team played like crap outside of Voracek and Couts.

The team looked like crap because they were playing a passive crap shell.

When they unleashed in OT they looked great, and I don't know why you ignore that reality. We've covered this before; coaches have a massive impact on how a team plays and looks. Coaching matters. A well managed team will look far better than a poorly managed team working towards stupid goals. Your refusal to accept it does not make it any less true.

I am hopeful that team defense will be better this coming season. The goaltending was shit but they really looked lost in their own zone far to often last season.
I am willing to give Risto a clean slate. Giving him less responsibility might help him. I want TK and Atkinson out together as much as possible stirring up all kinds of shit.
Give me someone better than Holtby.
Just wanted to give this thread some optimism

This. I want to see better team play at least. I don't expect them to be world beaters but they need to show significant improvement or it's time to can at least the coaching staff. The GM has expended a lot of capital to bring in new players. Now the coach needs to use them correctly.

AntDiGrazio to Chuck Fletcher:

 

[mja]

So, if they suck, it's the coaches' and players' fault, but not the fault of the guy who hired the coaches or built the roster. Got it.

 

[kudymen]

Yo i made a hole in your ship, now sail you f***

I am NOT saying Fletcher made a hole in the Flyers ship. I'm saying the line of thinking presented in that tweet is stupid.

No he gets a mulligan. Always.

 

[tictactoe]

Fire Paul Holmgren.

 

[AdamParrot]

Fire Fletcher, Flahr, Holmgren and all coaching staff.

This organization is a joke.

 

[Embiid]

Fire Hakstok in absentia for good measure

 

[deadhead]

GMs tend to get two HCs if they build a solid team, and this is a solid team.

 

[FLYguy3911]

I once called Fletcher a slightly above-average GM.

And you wonder why your entire 4th round in our mock went undrafted.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Chuck’s doing a great job of assuring Giroux & Couturier in the future that this team won’t be competing for a Cup any time soon.

 

[BrindamoursNose]

Meanwhile, Hextall just made a good signing.

It's a good day to be a Hextall stan and Fletcher hater

AntDiGrazio to Chuck Fletcher:

I guess he’s one of those types that gives Chuck credit for doing things even if they fall under just doing so for the sake of change at best.

Me I have higher standards. I want meaningful thought out solutions which Chuck didn’t offer up really at all this off-season.

Did I miss something? Are we talking about McGinn?

 

[BrindamoursNose]

Yup.

Replaced Tanev at a cheaper price. Good fit.

 

[SanBlom]

Yup.

Ok, I thought maybe he did something else. That one is "meh" for me and I cant think of anything else he has done this offseason that was actually good. Thought he slapped something big on us and I missed it.

 

[x DeCruze]

This is the offseason of horrors. All I can do is laugh.

 

[Flyerfan4life]

im guessing Striker had his internet privledges taken away huh ??

@striker3

 

[Kelmitchell2]

They NEED TO FIRE EVERYONE

 

[Beef Invictus]

Fletcher is the kind of useless simple moron who apologizes to his food every time he chews. Then he trades a 2nd to it in thanks.
