NHL Daily: Oh, Those Flyers; Berube Fed up with His Goalie’s Antics
You know things aren’t going well for the Philadelphia Flyers when the team’s positive play — they were better than best-in-the-NHL New Jersey over long stretches Saturday — was the big story after a loss.
Meanwhile, our old friend, Craig Berube, the no-nonsense St. Louis coach, is fed up with the antics of his goaltender, Jordan Binnington.
For those stories, and much more from around the NHL, check out our below links:

Craig Berube…one of many players and ex-Coaches who have won Cups AFTER leaving the Flyers.
Hey Sam, I have an idea. How about we compile a list of ex- Flyers who have won Cups elsewhere?
It has to be more than those Ex-Flyer Slugs currently infested in the Front Office.
This could turn out to be a worthwhile activity, to take our minds on that putrid product on the Ice.
Its going to be awhile before the Flyers are even considered competitive again.Tortorella said just a few days ago that they arent even there to ut in a foundation for this current team.Torts said were not even there to put the footers in yet for the foundation. Even if the Flyers fired Chuckles the Clown RIGHT NOW; it would take the next GM around 5 full seasons to clean up the contract mess Fletcher will leave behind. The Organization IS that low.
Good points…and that new GM? Danny Briere, who, besides being another ex-Flyer, will quickly find out he won’t have any ‘free-reign’ to do anything, as long as the likes of Bob Clarke and Paul Holmgren are still in charge.
Wow, you’re right..it’s gotten that low.
As long as Fletcher is the Flyers GM the Flyers are going nowhere fast. When Fletcher was hired almost 5 years ago; i just happen to read a blog from a Minnesota Wild fan. He basically said; ” Philly; get ready for 10 years of mediocrity with Fletcher as your GM. It looks like Chuckles has exceeded those expectations. They are far worse than mediocre. Being mediocre would be a massive upgrade for this current circus.
