Not sure if this was common knowledge but Flyers twitter posted a link to Danny's home town media report. They detailed his injuries from this season, "Leg pain in preseason revealed a hip impingement that will require a hip replacement down the road. On top of that, Stewart tore both of his Medial Collateral ligaments and suffered through a rib Injury, among other ailments" Take in the numerous head knocks over the past few years that is one hell of a injury list for this season alone, a season in which he missed what 6/7 games. At 37 years old. My admiration for what this guy gave to the flyers has just gone up a notch. Just unreal. up at least 3 notches.... we would not have progressed without this guy, solid, competative, and combative for his size we probably only now appreciate and reflect about what he brought! I hope he is still involved but who ever gets his work ethic is on to a good thing........thank you!

I agree that we will only fully appreciate Danny Stewarts efforts once he has gone. Like many my thoughts were he was just a wee bit too greedy with the puck, but in terms of raw energy and effort he was a giant in our team. If every import in the Flyers team had that level of commitment on the ice we would be a force to reckon with. I hope that we can replace him like for like.

It will be interesting to see how he fares as a coach. He has proved to be a legend in the League as a player but Ithink it is time he hung up his skates - we dont want to face him on the ice next season. A thousand thanks Danny.

I guess that would have been because he would have been stopped by directors and Todd too. After all Todd was head coach. Id be surprised if we get anything out Coventry games, Danny will have our number. Also, coaching influences... no mention of anyone from last 5 years lol

I heard that aswell, basically never thanked anyone here in that interview, I think there's been a wee fall out somewhere along the line. Todd shouldn't have had the choice anyway!

Would it be too much to applause, or chant through the 39th minute when Danny first returns with Coventry? Like Finchy, I regard Danny as a legend at Flyers for 5 years of grit, determination and heart in an otherwise thankless role. I think it would be quite fitting IMO

Fantastic idea!
Danny put more into his five years with Flyers than some players could (or would) in double that amount of time. The organisation could even retire his shirt number on the night. I haven't had time to view the interview but reading some comments on his apparent lack of thanks and some sort of fall-out then that may be a stretch too far for Flyers Ltd but us as fans should applaud who in the opinion of many, is a Flyers Legend.

Danny has been a good servant and player for flyers and helped us along the way in finding our feet in the elite league, but I would not consider him a legend for flyers, he was here to do a job which he done well and professionally but to put him on the same level as the likes of Steven king, Dutes, Mark Morrison who are in my opinion real legends and never got the recognition that everyone seems to be giving out to Danny is wrong, he was good for Fife but never gave the majority of his British career playing for us. He has already moved on from Fife and embraced Coventry like we should move on from him.

Yeah I totally agree with you about the calling for Dutes head. Shocker Danny's signed some young Brits for Coventry, I wonder if he'll be sniffing around any of our impressive Brit core? ? which Dutes will inevitably re-sign unless they retire. Good luck to Danny and a massive thanks for all his efforts here. I'm absolutely gutted with what we've been left with.
