Peter Laviolette Death Watch - Update: Lavy canned, Berube new head coach

[raptorlife4]

Everyone hates the Flyers and is loving this.
Its up to the players to prove everyone wrong going forward now.

This team has loads of talent and just needs to string a few together and then the sky is the limit.

Then everyone can go back to hating the Flyers again.

Well, considering that goaltending and defense aren't the problem, you're wrong.

Well, considering the 3 games this year by where they weren't, arent even close to the sole reason lavy was fired and D and goaltending have been the problem for YEARS, you're wrong.

I'll give him credit, Homer has done a great job of building winners...just not in philly.

I have no idea what you're saying, but it seems like you are agreeing with me (?) There is nothing to argue though. I'm after all a, you know, fucking Flyers fan. I'll take my insight on our situation over your's, as you clearly have no idea what you're talking about.

And I applaud Holmgren's ability to draft guys like Kopitar, Doughty, Brown, and Quick, as well as trading Jeff Carter to LA.

Obviously. I'm sure your right. Berube will turn things around and prove it was coaching all along

I don't think Holmgren makes it past Christmas

Columbus isn't unveiling the statue of him until the Olympic break.

I'm not happy with Berube, but at least there's no more Laviolette

I don't think Berube is the answer (Nice try, though)

I really can't believe you're implying it wasn't coaching. It was the same problem this year as it was last year. No transition game, horrible 5v5 play, and no commitment to team defense. Instead of doing the logical thing of adjusting his system, Lavy kept running the same system that would fail miserably. It's the same system that keeps getting bitch slapped by Pete Doboer, for Christ sake.

I'll still give him credit for the value he got for a mediocre goalie at the time

He made some absolutely ridiculous saves in the Isles game.

One more choke job like last night and I'll have to start a Pete DeBoer Death Watch.

In all honesty the drop off in the D between Stevens and Robinson is tough to ignore.

This is what happens to a coach who's GM has absolutely no clue about goalies.

Only 1 more than Conn Smythe....maybe they'll name a trophy after him!

Fred Glover - Wasn't he the purser on the 'Love Boat'?

 

[esls79]

That is top shelf company to be included with on the list - I think a belated congrats is in order for Peter.

Conn Smythe left his coaching position on better terms tho . He wasn't fired for losing, he left the coaching position to focus on the building of Maple Leaf Gardens .
