Rumor: Things Not Left Unsaid: Flyers Rumors & Media Mentions

[Flyerfan4life]

Remember the days when they used to do that for everyone? And serve you meals?

I just flew a discount airline a few months ago to Vegas, and the only thing they give you is a glass of water. No food, no warm beverages, no alcohol. Which is fine, because we knew that ahead of time and packed all the stuff we needed... but it sure ain't like it used to be.

Also that airline (Lynx in Canada) just declared bankruptcy a few weeks ago. I flew with them a few times, and there are definitely some frustrations (like measuring every single passenger's carry-ons and looking for ways to upcharge you) but the flights were dirt cheap. I went Montreal-Vegas return for two people for $270. Halifax-Toronto for 3 people was $320.

There's no way an airline in Canada can survive with those rates.

I sometimes drive to Maine and hop on an Allegiant flight for dirt cheap, even when considering the CAD/USD exchange and long-term parking cost.

its like most things in canada there simply isnt enuf population to support the USA way of life

Spending a 4th on EJ and not on a decent backup goalie option was certainly a choice.

I do remember the meals!

Lynx sounds a lot like Spirit for Frontier. Both low budget airlines that upcharge you for everything. Want to pick your seat, that'll be $20, oh, you've got a carry-on, that's another $20, oh, you need to check your bag, that'll be $40. Their base fare is cheap, but all the other things add up so they basically become the same price as the others.

I imagine you have the volume of passengers in the US to keep these discount airlines afloat?

It seems like every one we get, it either folds within a few years or gets gobbled up by our duopoly of either Air Canada or WestJet.

Friedman said that Johansen is with the Flyers getting his hip checked

ASF was on with Glen and Mike on the 10:40 segment discussing Couturier and Kolosov.

Will Kolosov be joining the Phantoms? Is he even able to get called up?

That was not addressed, I put a tweet out but he didn’t answer it. I’m wondering if Kolosov could be assigned on a conditioning stint and then recalled off that.

 

[GKJ]

On Couturier, he did say that he does not believe Danny and Jonesy were thrilled that that happened, and noted Danny’s long-standing relationship.

Being Briere's ward has its advantages for sure

Honestly, I feel like it hamstrings Briere in this case. New GM, had a long standing history with a player, feels he needs to remain impartial. Torts knows he can push things here.

The thought had occurred to me that this nonsense could be directed whole or in part at Briere as some sort of stupid head game / power play.

First 18 minutes or so of 32 Thoughts today dedicated to the Flyers, Fedotov, Jonesy, and speculation of Torts future as Friedman spoke directly to Jonesy. Seems like they had already planned to talk about them.

Were they speculating he'd be gone from the org after the season? If not, I dont want to know.

Well he said Jonesy said that Torts doing anything else hasn’t even been mentioned

[Flyerfan4life]

god i hope Fedotov is smart to shop himself around...

 

[Curufinwe]

2 x 1.5m is my guess

 

[freakydallas13]

Resigning Fedotov and firing Torts (truly firing, not just moving him upstairs) + Rocky "Tater" Thomps would go a long way to be being interested in this team again.

Triple Crowns are rare. We'll be lucky to get 2 out of 3.

Bro, I'd settle for any one of those happening.

I'm pretty optimistic on Fedotov. Fingers crossed and hopeful for Rocky. TORTS? I mean, he'd have to fire himself soooo

 

[Beef Invictus]

If he decides he's done with this coaching shit he'll fire himself into the front office. There he can cause all the drama with a fraction of the work.

Fedotov is a UFA. Someone might offer him more, and he might be the starter. Depends how the rest of his starts go, that’s probably too low. 3 x $3M? We don’t want NJD to snag him.

I would tend to agree for the sole purpose of his earning window being much narrower than your typical first-year NHLer and provided he brings the goods in his "audition."

 

[TheKingPin]

Still, from what I’ve seen limited of Fedotov and Ersson, I think better to have both for maybe the same or less than what Hart would have been.
