Crown jewel of the joke that is the Flyers organization. If you were going to fire your coach after going 0-3 to start the season, why didn't you just fire him in the offseason? Not to mention they should be firing Holmgren instead.

Whoa, after three games? Feels sort of knee jerk to me. There must be more going on than what we see on the ice.

Here are some tweets from Flyers beat writer Sarah Baicker McKee about the press conference:
"It's not the three losses, says Snider, it's the way the Flyers looked in them. 'They looked lost,' he said"
"Snider and Holmgren both keep emphasizing how badly the Flyers' training camp looked."
"Holmgren references going back to last year in making the decision so early."

Wow - and they signed him to an extension not long ago that will pay him for the next couple of years. What do you figure he makes - 1 or 2 M per year?
I bet he makes more than that. Hard to know, though.
If I was a Flyers fan I'd feel really let down right now. If you don't have confidence in your coach going into the next season, fire him before camp. Don't wait until you're 3 games in then do it. I'm guessing he will still be an assistant coach for the Olympics? I'm guessing if any coaching spots open soon, he will be a top candidate.

I'm glad they finally moved Winnipeg to the West, but I wonder who came up with the division names. "Metropolitan?"
It's not great but I can't come up with a better name. With 3 teams in the NY metro area, they were trying to avoid being too NY-centric. You could go with Megalopolis, but Pittsburgh, Carolina, and Columbus don't fit and it might be confusing because you should put Boston in the Megalopolis Division. South Megalopolis, maybe? How about something Triangle-related? Pittsburgh has the Golden Triangle and Carolina is near Research Triangle Park and the whole division lays out in a Triangle formed by Columbus, Carolina and the NY teams.
I do like the Atlantic Division - all of the teams have direct access to the Atlantic Ocean although you'll need the St. Lawrence Seaway for most of them. Although by my logic, you could throw half the teams in the Central in there as well.
Yes, I did have too much time on my hands this afternoon.

Fleury picks up third star of the week for allowing one goal in two games. Not a *huge* award, but a big deal for him considering what he has been through: http://penguins.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=685817
Ovechkin was first star, Lars Eller second.

Yeah, NC isn't exactly in the "Northeast", but it's close enough that I'd take it over Metropolitan. I'd even prefer Neapolitan, just because it's more fun to say.
The b's scored two powerplay goals in their 4-1 win over detroit. Chara scored one and provided a screen on the second one. They are certainly starting the season off on the right foot.
