we got beat/outcoached by the devils and we couldnt beat the rangers in the regular season with lav's style, like everyone else is saying you are seriously living in the past, this is not 2010 anymore, the players we had are not here anymore, lost the number 1 defensive player in pronger, we lost jagr,
i cant understand how fans cannot wake up from 2010 denial and get the fact this is not the same team nor the division is alot stronger than 2010, you want me to say this team will win it all? if that's the case, are you telling me that there's nothing wrong with this team? if that's the case, what exactly has this team gotten stronger at? this team is full of holes.
lavy was a good coach in 2010 but his style is flawed it's not going to win us anything not with this roster, you may love him but it's not going win us a cup.
You should go look at the other teams that lost Pronger and tell me how they've all been doing. The Oilers stink, the Ducks stink, the Blues maybe coming back around 8 years later (I'm skeptical). Hartford doesn't have an NHL team anymore. And it's a huge blow to us that has not been rectified. We're basically back to where we were in 2008.
And it doesn't matter what I think about him or his system. He's won a Cup with it, and was dangerously close a second time, so you can't say that it can't since it's already happened. Winning the Cup itself is always a perfect storm. He didn't forget how to coach in 2 years. And frankly a bastardized season won't be fair to make a full evaluation either. Newsflash: it's hard to be a team that's supposed to win a Cup every single year.
By the way, let's say Lavy does get fired. Do people here really think Craig Berube is going to install a new system overnight in a shortened season? The Flyers are trending that someone within the organization replaces someone who came from outside of it, and they have always been against a pure defensive system, trap or otherwise. If there at a point where firing the coach has become necessary, odds are against us making the playoffs anyways. It's easy to fire the coach on the internet since you can ignore the contingency plan.
could be a john gruden/tampa bay situation
great system implementer, talent developer
but the flyers need that john gruden to come in and take the team to the next step
Lavy is the Gruden. John Stevens as the head coach demonstrated that he is literally clueless in handling the team, as demonstrated by all the 10-game losing streaks we endured, so they brought in someone who kept people in line before things went sideways. By the way, the guy Gruden replaced won a Super Bowl, too. So, we can drop that "closer" theory.
