RobRock Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 (edited) I'm guessing that everyone knows what Esche said about Hitchcock, but I have to wonder about why he left him in for the Sabres game. I know it's only one game, but looking at the big picture, isn't there a better way to have dealt with what Esche said than to allow the guy to stay in for a 9-1 loss? Closed-door meeting, fine, suspension, something that didn't involve the other 18 guys that played. I don't know if Esche is ever going to play another game for the Flyers after tonight.

Like I said in the game thread, it's Patrick Roy all over again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smon Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 The Flyers really suck. Clarke bet his boat on the two hulking and dreadfully slow titans named Mike Rathje and Derian Hatcher and he lost miserably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bebehabs Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 too bad for the flyers... if they cant act like professionals... it's their problems but i think there are more problems in this team than esche & hitchcock... but since hitchcock has a 3 years contract... i think next move is to trade esche... BUT, this is not another *roy* thing coz roy was our #1 goalie and from what i see, niittymaki is their #1 goalie... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenadian Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Eshe started it..............bringing it into the public forum; so Hitch finished it by leaving him in to face the public.... :king: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAK Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Like I said in the game thread, it's Patrick Roy all over again. you seriously compare roy to esche ?? apparently esche said somehow that hitchcokc had no much in his head. I guess those words came to the coach before the game and he felt like leaving him there as a revene. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitchcock/Esche obviously aren't the best of buddies, had a fight, and publicly humilated the goalie. Hey, didn't that happen with Roy/Tremblay too?! Anyways, Esche has a one-way ticket out of Philly IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said I was comparing the situation, not the players involved. Goalie and coach don't like each other and get in a fight. Coach gets even by embarrassing the goalie. Goalie gets traded. The details are slightly different, but essentially it's the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
