This team has no identity because it has been bastardized by the echo chamber over all these years. I think the fans need to keep voting with their dollars until some real changes are made. Clean house, not just the players, but the front office. Need to change the culture. Why do players leave the Flyers and see instant success? If that’s not culture and coaching then I don’t know what is. Going on 50 years without a Stanley Cup. Same old story, different day: We’ve gotta do better.

I hear you my dad was a master carpenter and went through the same things.

Ask yourself how Briere got to this point?

They groomed him to be this since he retired from playing. Nepotism at it’s finest.

Agreed, but not to the extend that the Flyers do. It’s so bad with the Flyers that I wouldn’t be surprised if the popcorn guy a relative of somebody from the cup years.

Fathers handing down businesses to sons who didn’t know the job from the bottom up. U don’t gain experience to run any organization if u just jump into a position of authority without knowing the ins n outs of it. Just because u played the sport doesn’t make u an expert on the inner workings. The FLYERS need to STOP this practice of rewarding players with jobs(that some of them can’t handle or have NO PRIOR BACKGROUND in the coaching field). I’ve seen many businesses go under once their sons took control.

But since he went to the Flyers, that means his only qualification was that he played for us?

I’m not going to say he did a great job, but his failures were from being a first time GM, and not because he was unqualified and hired only because of nepotism.

Briere might be our next GM, but ask yourself, how bad would he have to be to be worse that Fletcher?
