Don't like the team guY's don't come! Same guys criticising the team last year. I for one thought we done well for the budget we have compared to other teams. Hope none of you sit near me and moan like you do on this forum! So be a happy clapper never have an opinion on anything relating to the team. would make this place awfy boring if we all thought like you eh.

I thought he was really good on the power play last season, moving the puck well and having a good shot from the point......but the memory that sticks out for me is when he had 5 yards on Dingle and was done for speed which resulted in Dingle scoring a breakaway goal. Won't be much good in the 3 on 3 overtime, if indeed we manage to get to that scenario.

Just wondering when Flyers will be finished with Clan's cast offs?
Seriously gotta question this signing. Todd I thought was playing a clever but dangerous game by waiting to the last minute to get good players on average money as the players options start to tun out however it looks like he's waited too long and as a result Flyers end up with Jackman.
Quite what Flyers do with Jackman 3 on 3 I dont know. Maybe he'd be better benched!
when will Flyers be finished signing Clan cast offs I don't know. Who next Tristan Harper?

Time will tell, different set up maybe help his game.
He didn't play on the NHL to make the spaces up. Granted that was a long time ago.
Looking forward to the season, just be glad to have some hockey back

Don't like the team guY's don't come! Same guys criticising the team last year. I for one thought we done well for the budget we have compared to other teams. Hope none of you sit near me and moan like you do on this forum! Trouble is sparky, we do have a decent budget, probably not much different to clan, blaze and better than the rest of the Gardiner, and in my opinion we could have done better with it, some of the opinions on here are away over the top and in fact just abuse as opposed to opinions. I will see how the season goes but so far I am not overly optimistic that we are the team that our budget suggests we should be.

The off season performance by the management suggests they should be at Edinburgh Festival in the comedy section. They wouldn't win that either because they sure aren't funny. But who knows, let's see the season develop, but I, like you, are not overly optimistic.

Think we will have to wait and see how team is when they hit the ice. Would prefer if we were signing young guys with a point to prove but that's just my opinion and we will all be able to blame Todd if he doesn't get it right.

My thoughts on Jackman are similar to my thoughts on Brooks. The positives are his good pedigree and he still brings quality. My concerns are his age, his recent injury record and his mobility. The only imports I am delighted about so far are Dingle and Sisca. The rest are wait and see for me.

I have no worries about any of the guys who have been signed this season. Remember they have "Todd's System" to work with.

Jackman started out well with us. Scoring 7pts in 10 games.He got injured at the start of October (I heard it was his back) and he wasn't the same player after.
Turned over the puck too much, got caught on the blue line a few times too many BUT at the start of the season, especially in the away game in Ingolstaad he oozed class.
I wouldn't have risked it if I was in charge of the Flyers but if he is fit and can maintain it, you might get a player out of it.
