On a side note having watched Todd's interview he is spot on, but I really feel for 3 forwards who have to now go out knowing they not good enough in a very physical league waiting for the chop. I think it's criminal in the first place these young boys have been put in that position by 2 experienced coaches regardless of the budget bigger stronger players would at least have handled it better. And the boy Krogh also is not up to it, Garry Simpson would be way better let's get him on a 2 way in this boys place. And I'll say it again we cannot afford two bench coaches, get a player coach in with decent pedigree. Sorry, Todd should not be publicly slating his players, that is bad management! He should be pulling them in and talking to them. This show's you how bad a manager he is and why no one wants to play for him. Players will not play for a guy who oust's his team publicly - end off! As for Garry Simpson, he is signed down south in the EPL I'm sure... beesicehockey.com/index.php/player/garry-simpson/ I won't be returning to watch that drivel! Garry is back up at Dundee despite being offered a contract with Bees, will most likely go back to racers. Whole place needs a good shake up, such wasted potential. But we've said this for years.

Be interesting to know how many people here are like me and have stopped going regularly? I had season tickets for the BNL, went fleetingly during the SNL, went to every home game and Scottish away games for the first 6/7 years of the elite and over the last couple seasons find myself going less and less to the point this year after a year and a half without hockey haven’t been to a game yet, streamed a couple and will look for the updates, there will unfortunately be hundreds out there like myself just waiting on a new approach until we go back, surely to god the owners know this?

Swarfiga I'm sure there are loads like yourself who feel like this I said it earlier this week I think Muir is allowing this to happen as his reason to pull flyers out the league at the end of the season. I can't understand as a business man who saw the rink filled to capacity from the mid eighties does nothing to try and bring those times back as they say in the Kevin Costner baseball movie build it and the people will come well get a decent coach in who will play a brand off fast physical hockey and the crowds will come back and rock the auld barn because at this rate I can see it getting turned into a housing estate

Part of the problem is Todd he thinks that small skilfully players is way forward, and that personality players such as Haas are not required in this league. But when we think about Nickerson, Fulton Danny Stewart team, the entertainment factor was much higher. Todd consistently stays away from these types players, and churns out the team toughness mantra. The biggest problem are owners who don't want to be in this league in the first place, everything on the cheap, and like a secret society. Anyway what's the point it won't change.

Wasn't at the game last night, so cannot comment on the game. Like others I could have but could not justify the money.
I do not think that just drifting away is the answer for me. I love the game and a good night at the Flyers just cannot be beaten - even if the team are. I'm never keen on boycots or anything that harms the club but what to do I'm not sure.
If you know how to get your point across to the owners please let me know.
The only thing I have seen of the game was TD's interview. Whilst the situation is absolutely minging go and find me a better interview from a coach.
The problems at the Flyers do not sit with the coach, the players, the social media team, the commercial team...... it starts and finishes with the owners and they need to own it, not the coach.
TD is dealing with an almost impossible situation. Love him or hate him, he clearly is feeling this too. A lesson in dignity even when his is being dragged through the dirt.

Todd picked the team as he did with the last seasons failures. Todd decided systems not the owners. Yes the owners are a big part of the problem but Todd also has to take responsibility. He should step aside

Your right Go and pick a team and here’s the budget Hobson’s choice Dutiaume knows the game and give him resources like other teams have he would put a good team on the ice He is an employee and will be told what the boundaries are Then he has to go fish in the pond The fact that we have the green light to fix is good If the owners had a spine they would come out and make a statement Instead it’s left to Dutes you can see he is feeling the pressure but he does carry dignity and represents the club well in front of the camera He obviously tried to bring a tough guy in but no visa Let’s see what happens when these camps finish in North America

5 defeats to start the season - it's a new line in the history books I'm afraid. Least goals scored in 5 games must also be new record rossco Sorry to report that I couldn't find any other 5 game stretch where we have scored 3 or fewer goals so yes it was our worst scoring streak.

Thanks unfortunately that streak is set to get longer and I doubt if season 21/22 will ever be beaten in current respect Real history being created ☹️
