John Leclair and Desjardins should retire so we can sign some players that might actually play for an entire season. I hate when the Flyers let these broken wagons lay around like this. They did it for Hextall, they did it for Lindros. Fuck. How can a hockey team's players develop a collective presence on the ice if their key fucking players aren't there half the fucking time? I'm convinced this is part of what stalls the Flyers progress in the playoffs. They're a good team with talent, but the old hats they let hang around too long bring the team down. In order to develop and maintain well balanced (offensively and defensively) lines than those same five guys have to play together consistently. Half the time it seems one doesn't know what the hell the other is doing. So you have this dump and chase bullshit happening over and over.
