Poll: Jori Lehtera

[LegionOfDoom91]

How did he end up with this contract? During his best season (2014-2015) he had 44 pts and since then he's gone down each year by at least 10 pts.

I really wanted to gather the numbers to be honest - since this is a topic we go round and round on. Curious to see if there is some silent group out there who is apathetic to Lehtera playing

We do have a clever troll vote by @SoundAndFury That helps normalize the validity of the poll, it's a free and honest election of sorts. The fly in the ointment that proves the set-up wasn't sterile, but organic.

I mean who would pay him 4.7 million for those numbers?

Hey now - I didn't put anything suggestive in the original post. I asked a straight forward poll and shared his numbers exactly how they are displayed on nhl.com - I really did want to get the most honest results.

 

[FlyersMania2]

Wonder if we will get honest selections from folks like Ghost and dead

It's just a homer vote, don't mind me

[Rebels57]

Doesnt belong inside an NHL arena, let alone on NHL ice.

Hak and Lehtera have a lot in common that way.

It was nice knowing you buddy. It's unfortunate that you died, you will be missed.

The question should be:

"Is Jori Lehtera the worst player in Flyers history?"

A. Yes
B. No, R.J. Umberger existed.

Was trying to offer up an unbiased poll to get some sort of measurable results.

Also C. Hextall brought back of them to this team while they were on the severe decline (though idk how decent Lehtera ever was)

 

[Beef Invictus]

There's also Bryzgalov.


And MFL. The negative impact from his signing IS STILL BEING FELT AND DEALT WITH.

Someone voted yes - please advise if @BigToe is serious or trolling

I bet it is duct tape that he watches because of its reliability. Maybe Gorilla Tape because of its heaviness, or painter's tape for when you are painting into a corner.

 

[Limeyjim]

I did not realize he played 60 games. wow

Oh no, Hakstol loves him! Every time the Flyers score a goal or take momentum in a game, Hak puts Lehtera out there.....to suck the air out of the room!

Back when the Flyers were the Stanley Cup winners they had a player who was nearly as bad as Lehtera and Umberger, his name was Tom Bladon. Flyers fans used to chant "GET BLADON OFF THE ICE!"

Haven't been to a game since the Pens game where all fans have a mutual enemy - does Lehtera get boo'd at games? Anyone know? I know Hak was getting heckled for a little while there, is that still the case as well?

I never hear a damned thing from the fans. They mostly chant the football chant, or they boo the refs. I stream the games, so my reception may not be as clear as it is in the building, but I don't know why players like Lehtera and Manning aren't booed loudly each time they step on the ice.

Gone are the Pitkanen days, haha!

Last game I went to, I boo'd at MacDonald several times

He’s our best player along the boards, very valuable especially late in games.

If Barzal battled Jori along the boards instead of in open ice, young Barzal would’ve been no match for the All-Star.

I doubt there’s anyone good enough in the NHL to handle Jori along the boards. His advanced statistics there are off the charts.

 

[bennysflyers16]

Blues just about to pull the trigger on the buyout, get rid of him for a pick and the team he goes to he becomes a staple and he is ten times worse than he was on the Blues,,,, Its INCREDIBLE Story

 

[sa cyred]

Who’s slower, Jori or Mike York
