New Day, New Era...
The John Stevens/Paul Holmgren era in Philadelphia is underway. However, the question that we now face is, in what direction will it go? Bobby Clarke, the previous GM of the NHL's Philadelphia Flyers, was known for making some big name changes throught the years as the GM. And things did change. Over the course of the past two seasons, the Defense that Mr. Clarke had provided to the Flyers has gotten slower and slower. John Stevens is stepping into shoes may be too big for him to fill. Unless Mr. Holmgren can pull off some spectacular moves (and yes, this means possibly moving Jeff Carter, R.J. Umberger, Freddie Meyer, and Robert Esche), the season is still an uphill battle for the lowly Flyers. It is not impossible, but should we look towards green pastures in the likes of Angelo Esposito, Colton Gillies, or Logan Cotoure? The situations that are put into the hands of Mr. Holmgren will not be fun to participate in.As an avid fan of the Orange and Black attack, I can almost see a sign of good things to come. From what forwards Mike Richards and Simon Gagne have been quoted in saying, John Stevens already has the team focused and back to enjoying hockey. If something is broke, of course we can fix it unless it is destroyed. This Flyers team is not destroyed. This Flyers team, in my opinion, has just lost track of what has been going on around them. I think they were just zombies for the time being, so to speak. A change has been made, and it will be absorbed and then taken out in positives. The Flyers will bounce back from this hopeless start and show that there offensive talent is there, it has just been in hiding for the time being. So, in closing, even if player personel doesn't change the proper changes have been made to make a start towards the light of a winning hockey team. Let's Go Flyers!!!
