Dear Mr. Snider, Mr. Holmgren and staff,

I understand that these last 8 months or so have been rough.  A disappointing playoff run capped off by an embarrassing sweep by the rival Boston Bruins, coupled with subpar goaltending led to a lot of changes.  I applaud your direct approach to addressing what you thought our beloved Philadelphia Flyers needed to correct.  We stood by during that disastrous season when the team was so bad we even lost the draft lottery.  despite all our complaints we have stuck by your decisions to trade away a beloved captain and a top goal scorer.  However the time has come that we speak out.

This young Flyers team just endured their first road trip of this season and the results were impressive. After a 2-1 loss in Tampa Bay that produced one of the most interesting situations that we will see all year. Yes of course I’m talking about the stalling tactic that head coach Peter Laviolette endorsed. Even though the two points were taken away by the Lightning in overtime, the Panthers and Hurricanes would fall to a well rested Flyers team.

The players couldn’t have been complaining about the scheduling of this road trip. They played just one game last week before having three days off to relax and get ready for the Panthers at the odd starting time of 5 p.m on a Sunday, come on NHL you can do better than that. The Panthers fell to Philadelphia 3-2, then it was the Hurricanes turn to take a tally in the right column with a 5-3 loss.  … [visit site to read more]

As the Philadelphia Flyers started out 4-0-1, all seemed to be right in the world.  Claude Giroux was playing out of his mind and on pace for 60+ goals.  Rookies Matt Read and Sean Couturier were looking like seasoned veterans.  Ilya Bryzgalov looked like the answer the Flyers have been looking for in goal since, well forever, and Wayne Simmonds was Wayne Training his way through the competition.  Two big wins over the defending Stanley Cup champion Boston Bruins and the Western Conference champion Vancouver Canucks gave this team all the early praise they could handle, and they did it all without top rated prospect Braydon Schenn.  Yet here they sit now, 4-2-1 getting outscored a combined 9-4 in losses against the Washington Capitals and St. Louis Blues.  Right now, the team needs to get back to basics.
