So it's been said by quite a few folk that some so called Flyers fans were having a go about Bobby Chaumont.
So who can name these imbeciles? How many points does Bobby have for us? I'd imagine during his time in Fife his points per game is probably more than 2pts per game.
Some of our fans are starting to give us a reputation and it's about time they took a long hard look at themselves!!

Hear Hear!!! Dont know if you saw my post in his thread but all about this topic! I also feel that yes he isnt the fastest skater in the world. He isn't necessarily being lazy, he's just slow. Still a top player for us and putting up unreal points!
"Points win you games. He's put up unreal points for us. If he had done that consistantly for us for as many games as he played for clan as well he'd be top of the scoring chart by a mile and people behind me tonight going crazy at him. Some Flyers fans are disgusting and quite frankly stupid. I had a man behind me say loudly that 'Chaumont doesn't want to score against the clan' that is probably the most ridiculus, stupid comment i've ever heard. If he could score against any one team he would want it to be clan! Such a ridiculus comment i just couldn't believe i heard it. His passing is unreal. He has score crutial goals, made crutial passes and won us games. He makes a huge difference to this team and i for one am very glad to have him!!!"

If we signed 3 NHL players that scored 20 points between them every game some "fans" would still moan. No doubt if bobby had went to another team folk would be saying "oh I wish flyers had signed him". Would these moaners prefer that we still had the same team as last season??

just because he isnt skating as much doesnt mean hes a bad player. hes just a smart player. steven king was a slow skater yet put the puck on his stick infront of the net and 9/10 he would score. That is the kind of player we have been needing. that is the kind of player we have brought in. he is doing his job perfectly so stop all the negative press on the guy. his role isnt to chase down every puck in the corners.

I guess we've all got different opinions about what makes a good player. I like guys that put in a lot of effort, but realise we need guys who can find the killer pass or score a goal out of nothing to. That, for me, is exactly what Bobby has brought to the team. In the 13 games he's played he's picked up 28 points and more importantly, we've won 8 of the games.
Guys like Danny Stewart, Dutes and Hamish put in lots of effort, but have only combined for 33 points so far. It's about having the right balance throughout the team- guys that'll do the dirty work and guys who can take advantage of the space and turn overs that work creates.

I think last night people we just a little disappointed with a few oppurtunities he had to skate up and create more chances for us. Personally i think he looked shattered, especially when he fell trying to stop icing but that could just be me.
Bobby is a fantastic player. He may not be the quickest but by god he can find some killer passes and score goals against any team. His points speak for themself.

Anyone that complains must seriously not see what the team needs. His points tally speaks for itself. Not every player can skate very fast. As mentioned Steven King was not a naturally fast skater. What do they want someone that skates fast and works hard and scores few points? These type of imports are easy to find. If he had not signed for us where would we be in the league? One player can't make a team but they can certainly make others play better.

He certainly brings out the best of his line mates as well, irrespective of who he is playing with.
First Casey and Jason, then Casey and Kriss and last night Kriss and Jason.
I would rather have him on this team and the way he is playing than not on it.
We haven't had somebody with this prolific a points production since Russell Monteith

I'm totally convinced that if he'd come to us mid season from North America as opposed to being gassed by Clan that we wouldn't be hearing these moans. A minority (back of section C) have been on his case since day one- it's getting embarrassing all things considered. We look much more dangerous since he joined.

I don't think any Flyers fan would not be happy that Bobby is in the team, it was noted that his skating speed and defensive frailties were some of the reasons Clan gassed him and that part of his game is pretty evident for all to see HOWEVER if you had a poll regards him returning to Flyers next year it would be a resounding YES. people are allowed to voice their opinion / observations on a public forum thats why its there, perhaps players read and pick up on some points and respond to it...... i can think of 1 player who probably did so.

Totally agree regarding the minority at the back of section C, very embarrassing at times!

If i recall correctly it wasnt Krestanovich that gassed him it was Mr Black. Krestanovich had no part in it as he and Bobby are good friends. Mr Black will see Bobbys stats and look at the leauge and see where Clan are sitting now. He has made a mistake This subject is needing dropped now we should just all be glad we have him and would welcome him back next season. During a game all fans get fired up and may say things they dont really mean its just steam being vented at the time.
