[quote name="pmxc12873"]I know I'll get crucified...but hasnt Bowman been Assistant GM for 4yrs...while serving as Director of Hockey Op before then?[/quote]
Point being? He certainly wasn't out "scouting future NHL Talent" with his "vast" NHL/Hockey experience. Wait, he didn't have any and was only given the job because an old friend asked another old friend, to hire him. Wonder how many knives Tallon had to pull from his back?

Point being...he's been in some sort of role with the GM since 2001 ....
I'm not - and won't defend McD...but Bowman is the GM now and will be going forward.
I'd rather just "unite" during Stanley Fucking Cup week against the Fuckbag Flyer fans...and not against McD and company. I know, I shouldnt come to the thread (I'm saying that seriously - not mockingly)....but I'd really like to see as all hate the Flyers instead of our front office. These Cup things are few and far between.[/quote]
Eh, I can separate the two. While I'm stoked we are where we are, at the same time I am completely sad the two PRIMARY Architechs are not here to enjoy it. All because some asshole has to have a giant fucking ego the size of Montana.
So while I will massively enjoy what is coming and what has past, I will most certainly know where MY Loyalty and GRADITUTE for being able to ENJOY THIS FEELING deserve to go!
This team will win, not because of Mcondough or Rocky, but because Bill Wirtz finally decided he wanted to win before he died. Unfortunately for him, it happeed after and the guys he put in place to get there were shafted JUST BEFORE they arrived.
