Flyers Town Hall - 2/17/20

[Hollywood Cannon]

So did anyone actually go to this?

If yes, recap please?

Well it’s today...

 

[Striiker]

Well it’s today...

Oh

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Oh

The date only takes up 50% of the thread title, it’s ok.

Offer is still open for my extra ticket.

 

[Rebels57]

"What improvements does Morgan Frost need to make to stick with the big club and is there someone in Lehigh Valley helping him with those improvements?"

"How will you approach Seattle expansion? Are you open to making a deal to protect a specific player?"

"Have you given any thought into who will be Carter Harts next backup? Elliott is performing below league average for backups."

"Do you plan on re-signing Pitlick and/or Braun?"

"Ticket prices were raised last summer and attendance is down for the 2nd straight year. Thats all. No question."

 

[Chinatown88]

Oh

Clearly you didn't learn how to read properly in school.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Clearly you didn't learn how to read properly in school.

Or read a calendar.

Guess it’s reading no matter what.

Pointless asking about anything like the PP. You are just going to get a canned response.

I would ask the following

1. As the Phantoms look destined to miss the playoff again, while dressing one of the higher cap hit teams in the league, is anything going to be done to adress the coaching situation, which has looked evident to be the cause of the issues.

1b. If not, what are your thoughts on the phantoms implementing the same style and system as the flyers in order to prepare callups better?

2. Is it concerning that we have 2 highly touted goaltender prospects currently in the ECHL and not the AHL.

I'm more concerned than one of them is having an awful season in the ECHL, and he's 23 years old.

Ugh, and this is why you draft these guys annually.

You clearly have an entrenched opinion about this. If they were to do a in depth investigation through the lenses of their entrenched opinion and decided that the racial issue made it too much of a issue to put her statue back up. Would you accept this? Would your opinions be so out of line with theirs that you would never be okay with the likely inevitable results? What would be the possible upside to you of an investigation?

At this point there is unlikely to be any amount of direct evidence that will cause them to shed their lenses and go back to the previous status quo. Your lenses dictates that there is enough evidence and that they should. Neither is empirically right or wrong. But you are on the losing side because you are on the side lacking decision making power. You can choose to accept this or not, but in the end it is futilely used energy.

I would like to hear if they found any facts leading ss to what the truth is... was it a parody that actually was Antisegragation and she actually did promote minorities advancing in the Business... meaning their initial kneejerk action was a rush to judgement that was unfair... oh ot did what they found back up their removing the Statue and casting aside the Tradition?... Also, why they won't merely sell ths Statue.

So what you're basically saying is that I and others should just turn a blind eye and ignore this... if we feel there may have been an injustice?

Asking for the results of an investigation that the Flyers promised to do isn’t a well thought out thought or opinion? Asking why they won’t just sell the statue to a town that has said that they wanted the statue isn’t a well thought out thought?

I couldn’t care less about the matter but it’s a chance to ask the question and bring something up that the organization has tried to hide from and hope that it just disappears.

There is a hell of a lot more thought process behind that question than 90% of the drivel I’ll hear tonight. Shootout questions included.

Again, I don’t care about the matter in the slightest. It doesn’t effect my life one way or the other. I also laugh hysterically every time when Carchidi tries to say that that’s the reason for low attendance.

Thank you for this, HC... much appreciated.

Anyone who asks questions about shootouts, I will personally sack them.

What about what the difference between a prospect and... damnit I forget what that question was.

When they did this 2 years ago and the first, like, 5 questions (seemed like 50) were about shootouts, while people on here were getting pretty pissed off, I was in a section of people outwardly groaning. One guy was reading off stats to Hakstol. Like congrats dude, you’re sucking up to the guy that was long past his expiration date.

Oh I know, lol.

I just remember someone asked something along the lines of "what is the difference between a prospect and a rookie" but I don't think it was a rookie.

Hey, were actually needing you in another thread where this guy @SnS is downtalking reese's. He needs to be banned. Like yesterday.

Forgot about that one. At least when I asked a question that was innocuous, nobody else was in line.

 

[TheKingPin]

Ask if Patrick will need to go the AHL to work on his shootouts.

 

[GKJ]

SHOOTOUT GUY IS IN THE ROOM TALKING ABOUT SHOOTOUTS

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Charter member (STH since ‘67) just asked about shootouts.

 

[TB87]

Anyone who asks about the shootout at the Flyers STH Town Hall tonight should have to go home wearing a dunce cap

 

[Magua]

Charter member (STH since ‘67) just asked about shootouts.

Don’t blame that poor old man. Blame his family. He needs to be put in a nursing home.

 

[Adam Warlock]

Its amazing how many "fans" just repeat the same narratives. Theyre actually good at shootouts this year...what could he possibly ask??

He basically asked what changed, lol.

 

[Cody Webster]

He basically asked what changed, lol.

He should have his season tickets revoked

So...

I really honestly only had two takeaways from the entire thing.

1) Fletcher was asked about the Gudas/Niskanen trade in some capacity and retention. Fletcher's response was that the Capitals didn't want to trade him within the division and the options were adding a 2nd round pick, a "top 4" prospect, or retaining a million. He said it was an easy choice.

2) The topic of Morgan Frost came up, Fletcher said that AV bothers him pretty much every day asking "when are we going to bring this kid up?" along with Therien. Fletcher says that he just responds to please just let him develop.

These are paraphrased but that was the gist of the two worthwhile responses that caught my ear. I recorded all of Fletcher's back and forth and most of Shane's. I'll check and see how the quality is and find a way to post it if I can.
