The Flyers finally won something. Yay.
Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

cool, we beat a team that hasn't scored in 4 games.

Look on the bright side.......if it were the Eagles going up against a team that hadn't scored their last 4 games, they would undoubtedly put up at least 50 against us.

He was an assistant coach on the 93-94 Rangers Cup team then took over for 3 years after Keenan was fired.  His 96-97 team was knocked out by the Flyers in the Eastern finals.  After he was fired, he went to the NHL front office and has been there ever since....

Gagne wont go anywhere till the trade deadline if he does get moved.  At that point i hope they start a firesale if this team doesnt shape up.

Colin Campbell decides Flyers GM job not right at this time

PIERRE LEBRUN
November 1, 2006
TORONTO (CP) - Colin Campbell is staying put.

The NHL's senior executive vice-president and director of hockey operations says he had talks with Philadelphia Flyers owner Ed Snider about the GM job but decided the time wasn't right.

"We had discussions earlier on, not recently, after they decided to make changes there," Campbell told The Canadian Press on Wednesday. "Mr. Snider and myself work closely together with the competition committee. We did discuss the situation with his team after Bob Clarke decided to step down.

"But it wasn't the right thing for me personally for that discussion to continue at this particular time."

Paul Holmgren is the interim Flyers GM. Reached by The Canadian Press on Tuesday night, Holmgren was not aware of Snider approaching Campbell for the GM job. Clarke also told CP on Wednesday morning that he was unaware of the recent developments.

"Colin Campbell and I have been friends for a very long time and we both have worked closely together on the NHL's competition committee," Snider said Wednesday in a statement released by the NHL club. "When Bob Clarke announced his resignation on Oct. 22, I contacted Colin and we had a discussion about the general manager position.

"Colin recently contacted me to inform me that he appreciated our conversation, but at this time he did not want to be a candidate for the position. Paul Holmgren will continue to be the interim general manager. There will be no other statements concerning this issue."

only until Gretzky fully realizes he sucks at coaching and leaves, then Hitch will take over in Phoenix, where he'll reunite with JR and the other 24 ex-Flyers...

The coaching carousel works very oddly in the NHL.

It's not really that odd. If you have ever been a coach, someone will hire you to be a coach again. If you sucked, they will call you a 'player's coach'. If you were passable, you'll have a 'proven track record'. If you were good you will be brought in to 'get the team over the hump'.

Hitch was brought in to Philly to get the team over the hump. farg Hitch.
Is rjs gonna have to choke a bitch?

Let them eat bootstraps.
