Bob Clarke did a pretty good job for the Flyers at the first part of his two runs. He just didn't do a great job at the end. Ironically, Holmgren had a similar arc, just with crazier contracts. Flyers don't even bullshit what they pay some ex players for, I think Parent, Bob Kelly, and a few others have the official title of "ambassador " and their whole job is basically shake hands and be at public events.

man I went and saw Canes/Penguins at PNC yesterday -- that place was a ghost town, and what few fans showed were mostly Penguins fans. I can see why they're considering moving.

It's a shame really because they used to draw a ton of very loyal fans. You have to see this as a failure of the team to produce a product the fans felt was worth the price. I can't imagine moving would help them be a less lovely team. Honestly, considering all the Yankee transplants in and around Raleigh, you can't ask for more fertile ground for an expansion team.

They haven't been this low since before they moved into PNC/RBC whatever. There really aren't many US markets that can sustain 5+ years of losing period, although to be fair the moving rumors are coming more from Karmanos's money situation than the attendance.

Aye Doc posted:so with the news that the Lakers are about to get ruined by Magic Johnson for the indeterminate future, I was thinking about former franchise greats who came back to drive their franchise down down down. the obvious one is Linden in Vancouver, I'd say Neely in Boston is on his way, and that's about it for current ones. who else has done this? Dave Taylor in LA but maybe I'm being harsh.

The Player's Tribune has a cool article about the Hockey Night Punjabi guy. It's pretty crazy that he wanted to become a broadcaster since he was like 4 years old and now he's living the dream having built up the Punjabi broadcast from the ground up.

They only have topknots because they're too young for the full turban but they just size the helmet around their needs.

I can't imagine them postponing unless they absolutely had to. Can't they just cover the rink well enough with that much notice? That said I'm glad I took Sunday off too.

the referees attempts at Vengeance for ThatguyWidemankilled did not go unnoticed http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/30-thoughts-red-wings-telling-teams-theyre-open-business/ quote:2. We get phone calls, Part I: Last week, Doug was talking about a penalty Calgary took in its win over Philadelphia and I joked about the “Wideman Conspiracy.” One referee did not find that funny. The next day, he phoned to complain and dropped a bit of a bombshell: The NHL and the Flames met to discuss the way Calgary games are officiated. They went through a ton of video, and even talked about calls not made — including some specifically against Wideman.

Kinda surprising he hasn't had any offers in the NHL, given how many teams are hurting for right-shot D. You'd think he'd be an upgrade for a lot of teams on their bottom pairing. I'm guessing he'd come pretty cheap, too, given his KHL time.

Feel better about the Caps after that win. Flyers played hard for 3.5 periods, it felt like playoff hockey. Then they poo poo the bed and gave up. gently caress the Flyers, go Caps!
