I'm not like one of these team first guys.
If the player is a piece of shit and is a criminal. I want him gone. I don't care if the Flyers go 0-82

I know I would be nowhere near as jovial about the situation but I'd still want things done properly, on-ice production be damned. We'd never hear the end of it if it was otherwise, and rightfully so. It be hard to be on a high horse about other team's shortcomings if people can answer back "At least our current team captain isn't Tony Montana."
He misunderstood what it means to crack the lineup

Lehtera is very reliable, he's not very good, but he is reliable.
He's a smart, tough player who just lacks any sort of footspeed.
He also played 9 minutes a night over such stalwarts as Weise, Leier and Read last season.
If you think that's a mark of favoritism, well, send me some of what you're smoking.

Hakstok was a fascist clique hiver lickballs.gif
That's quite a tricky question since we all know very well that the coach has no other option. I.e. it seems like the 4th line will only include 2 forwards

I can't argue against anything Boruk says here.
Why the Flyers need to rid themselves of Jori Lehtera

Has Hakstol ever thrown a player under the bus?
So don't expect him to say things like:
"gee, Ron stuck me with a bunch of losers at the bottom of the roster, 'snail' Lehtera, 'no hands' Leier, 'toast' Read and the 'famous Mr Ed' Weise. Snail is the most reliable of the four, which of course, is like saying Samwise is the biggest Hobbit."

How you like me now!
Jori will get off with one simple phrase he learned during his time in Philly. I had no choice
can't fault a guy for trying a new job, cause he knows he sucks at the one he has now

If Hakstol is just being a coach, and reliable is the only praise he could think of, then why does he play a player he knows is consistently bad? He has plenty of other options.

Like whom? Last year he had to play 2 of Lehtera, Weise, Read and Leier.
Read was the best PK but was cooked at ES.
Leier was awful on the PK, ok at ES but couldn't score.
Weise was the best of the four in terms of scoring but otherwise awful.
And then there was Lehtera, who was "reliably" mediocre.
So nitpicking over which 2 of these 4 you play is as usual, an exercise in trivial pursuit.

Lehtera is reliably 10 steps behind the play every time he steps on ice. So I agree, he's reliable.

Well, you're not as confused as he is.
So they played him in Boston. Any further update from the authorities in Finland or the NHL? If not, maybe that's why they are holding off on the last forward cut?
No updates on finnish media. I thought it was bad sign (good for Jori) that they played him in Boston. Atleast there was no suspension from league.

Most impressive thing I've ever seen from Lehtera was when he almost knocked over Chara on the wall. Despite all his short comings that was a solid collision and he shook Chara.
