The newest question circulating around Flyer nation is…
When will Peter Laviolette step down from being the coach?
Signs of frustration are apparent, and rightfully so. So, if the fans are that frustrated, you can imagine how the organization must feel. Replacing a coach usually is the first attempt to problems within a team. So when the Flyers handed Stevens a pink slip and hired Laviolette quickly signing him to a three-year contract, a fix was expected.
So Flyers nation, we can all understand frustration, but let’s get a grip. Is there a way for GM Paul Holmgren to right the ship and avoid a season like 2006-07? Hopefully, but I don’t think it will be either certain or quick.
I caught a story today over at Habs Inside/Out, which they reported a rumor that might make a lot of sense for both clubs involved. Of course, if this trade was close to happening, it might not go down as such now due to last night’s Flyer game. Regardless, the trade rumored is…

Based on Matthew Pouliot’s series on Circling the Bases, I have decided restore the rosters for every NHL team. Like Pouliot, I have established some ground rules for my selections.
- Each team contains players they originally drafted or signed before any other NHL team. This includes players drafted and not signed, as well as European free agents coming over at an older age. I have chosen to leave retired players off the list, and lean toward players in the AHL rather than those deported (KHL, SEL, DEL, etc.).
Essentially I am choosing the best available players for a team to succeed in the current NHL season. All 30 teams will be covered, with grades assigned to forwards, defense and goal-tending. After all 30 articles are written, they will be ranked in order. This series’ intent is to reward or shame NHL scouts.
Much of the Bruins drafting success has come from recently restoring the cupboards. Regardless of where it came from, the Bruins have been quite successful in locating and developing high end forward talent and decent defensive depth.
The lineup for the Boston Bruins is as follows.
