Laviolette canned

[rothdawg]

That doesn't cut it for me

As a Maple Leafs fan I would call the Flyers anything but a joke of a franchise. 5 stanley cup finals since 1980 and other then the last few years always competitive. Your owner, meddling as he may be, he is at least trying to win, not so much can be said about my Maple Leafs over the same period. Leaf fans and most other in the league would love to have had the record the Flyers have had over the past 30 years.

Sorry Ken, but this is like a Cleveland Browns fan telling me how great the Eagles organization is because of all the NFC Chamiponship appearances. The Flyers just fired one of the most accomplished coaches in hockey after 3 games. They could've done it at the end of last season, and had a new coach in place to run his system in preseason. It's flatout stupid. Yet they keep their incompetent goon GM and bring another goon Coach.

The Flyers have traditionally drafted well and been well coached. Had they not made so many bad choices on goaltenders there would be a few more banners hanging in Philadelphia. Yeah they should have fired Laviolette after last season but they didn't. Laviolette's message has worn out like many other good coaches. Scotty Bowman has been fired and Laviolette is no Scotty Bowman. Let Berube do the job for a while before he gets judeged. He has been an assistant for 10 years I believe and played for 15.

Zubaz helped me with this one. Kelly Green has ripped the CFL a few times on here so I thought a CFL/Kelly Green inspired avatar was called for.

Do you know how many non-Eagles fans said that same thing about the Andy Reid era?
