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

[DaBoltsNIsles]

Apparently Garrioch said Holmgren is trying to make a trade, but he feels he needs help everywhere so it's tough right now.

And this is exactly why GMs fire their coaches.

That's incredibly misleading. Way too early to make that sort of stat.

More sarcastic than misleading I would think....

i think the real problem is the flyers have very little to trade.. they pretty much have laughton and a 1st round pick that could be used to improve the current team.. how much can you really improve the team w/ that? and do you really want to use the flyers last 2 bullets to make a playoff push?

 

[TOX1]

No. You don't.

 

[awaz]

No. You don't.

agreed. gotta let the young guys grow a little, try to restock the cupboard.. now is not the time for rash decisions.. if they can stay afloat they're looking at 3 big acquisitions over the next 3 months in simmonds, meszaros, and hartnell

they're only 2 points out of a playoff spot.. and that's with NYI and toronto both in.. that's where the focus needs to be.

Sounds vaguely dirty

Another win for Lavy. 1 point out of a playoff spot. I think he's safe. The coach who's in trouble should be Lindy Ruff.

Agreed. He's a good coach, and I think he should be hired elsewhere, but it's not working in Buffalo, and hasn't for a few years.

I'm really not certain he's totally able to adapt his system to his players, and I think that's his downfall.

LOL I bet you antagonize the hell out of your family members with this kind of stuff, don't you?

I've had to take a lot more than give over the past decade plus. Remember I'm an Isles fan.:help:

Could a Torts death watch be far off?

Could a Torts death watch be far off?

I'd wait until Thursday night after they play the Isles at home before considering it.

I feel like he may be okay for a few weeks, but yeah - that Isles game could make a big impact.

Something's gotta give in Philly...

Reading the comments on NHL.com after a Flyers loss is a mess.
