Liftoff: No Shortcuts

In Chapter Two of Liftoff: No Shortcuts, President of Hockey Operations Keith Jones and General Manager Daniel Briere are introduced as the newest members of the Flyers Front Office.

[@michaels2502]

The quick cuts between Dany as a player and now give me chills.

[@PS-fo5jj]

I’m genuinely excited to see this all turn around. Let’s go!

[@kingmaxey]

Danny Briere couldn´t have given me a better first impression as the new GM than he did with the Provorov trade. It was a complex one, and the fact that he actually took on bad contracts from the Kings certainly confirmed what we all hoped would be the case, which is a full rebuild.

[@oddity4all2see]

Let's hope so. Why did we get a shit goalie while we have 2 decent ones? Shopping hart? I don't like that. He's our best player. Errson reminds me of Bob. I hope we don't make the same mistake as we did with bob with him. I wish torts didn't have such an ego and would've let us go down in flames so we could've gotten Bedard. He would fit in lovely with what's left of our top lines..what we need is defense and no more locker room cancer. I think we all know who I'm talking about. I'm both excited and weary for October

[@DonDrogowski]

That was a terrible trade to get picks so you can get a young defenseman in the draft. Provorov played tough minutes against the other teams top players with little support. The return was terrible with the hopes of finding a stud in the draft. Flyers have had little luck in top draft picks. Maybe Provorov is better suited to a second pair defense, but he will help Columbus as this trade was a mistake. The honeymoon with Flyer fans is about three years and your next superstar is ground up and shiped away for the next crapshoot draft pick. Kinda like Ghost!

[@DonDrogowski]

@@oddity4all2see It wouldn't suprise me to see him playing in the NHL earlier than 3 years, but I do not see his game translating to a 50-goal scorer like all the hype. The competition and goaltending he faced as a 16-year-old and even now at 18 years old is suspect. Watching a highlight reel of his goals is enlightening, as there is allot of poke checking and nobody taking the body. He will take time to adjust to the NHL similar to Jack Hughes, so I hope Flyer fans do not expect an instant superstar.

[@oddity4all2see]

@DonDrogowski I mean I hope he does get here. Not even just for the Flyers, I mean the NHL as a whole. He's a deserving player. I just hope politics don't get in the way. I see him being a beast, but not another ovi. We haven't been having too much luck with players. Remember Nolan Patrick? I forget who we could've had instead of him. Was it eichel? Or Hugh's? Hechier? Question.... do you get annoyed with people saying that niskenin leaving ruined the whole team?

A clip from Snow The Goalie's Anthony SanFilippo to end the episode? 👀👀👀👀

I pray everyday for our success.

[@alextrueblood5473]

Me too.

[@TodayUs]

These guys know this great game of Hockey and with their knowledge and love for the game Flyers will be winners

[@jackcarvis3668]

For a blastoff that’ll be heard around the league Opening night play “God Bless America” I can hear the roar I can see the tears and I can feel the goose bumps. Then I’ll know we’re BACK! Because it’s more then a song to me

[@K._Red]

Fantastic video. Actually inspiring. So excited for the future in Philly.

[@Murph_.]

You guys are really psyching me up... now make it happen!!!

[@OutlierConcepts]

I think a lot of us are realistic enough to know we're not gunning for the cup this season, hell even being a contender for the playoffs would be a wild outcome, but I think the goal is to see management, coaching and the players all on the same page, caring about improving the team and moving on from this "well we suck what do you expect" crutch. There's so much potential on the roster and I think we're all looking forward to it finally getting used this season. The only thing Philly fans like more than a win, is a comeback win.

[@jswhitcombvideos]

Man it’s good to see the right color of orange in some of these clips!!

[@RedRoverTW]

So excited Briere is our GM. He's been one of my favorite players, the consummate professional, & Mr. Playoffs. I believe along with LeClair, the reason I became a fan, & Jonesy, the ultimate communicator with incredible connections, this team will be successful.

[@ProgScape]

It all goes uphill from here; they can't get any worse. Make Mr. Snider proud.

[@jeffreyg4626]

Briere a great hire for you guys. Best of luck.

[@Hail_Sagan]

I am STOKED as a fan! And major props to the production crew. What was this shot on, FX6?

[@nowthatscinema7410]

Briere * Provorov trade * Fletcher - Ooh, that's how this works. Durr durr durr

[@phillymanpete]

Please God let them win another Cup before I die. I was only 5 for the last Cup in 1975!

[@BryceKHockey]

Looking forward to seeing us get back on the right track let’s go flyers 😤🧡🖤

[@scottarmen9097]

Needs: 1. Speed 2. Speed 3. Speed Even if a player isn't a high scorer, speed creates pressure and turnovers. So that means please do not trade Konecny or Tippett!

[@AJV915_]

God I hope they can pull it off and by the looks of it it’s only gonna get better from here. We believe in you Danny B and Jonesy, let’s bring this franchise back from the ashes.

[@KayFabe87]

Much respect to Keith Jones for taking on a job which is going to be very difficult with a lot of pressure, especially if the Flyers don't turn it around quickly. He and the new management team will be blamed (fairly or unfairly), especially in a place like Philly. Jones is leaving a pretty cushy, well-paying job at which is very talented in order to take on the pressure and uncertainty of being an executive with a tremendous amount of responsibility in a very unforgiving environment. Best of luck to Keith Jones and Daniel Briere in his their new roles and hopefully this is the start of a positive turnaround for the Flyers.

[@jasoncarr2913]

this rebuild is gonna be fun looking foward to it

[@mikebenedetti7212]

chills

[@cheddarandsourcream]

Rooting for them to turn it around and I’m a fan of the Capitals. The league needs the Flyers to be good.

[@cassphillips8376]

Jonesy n Danny are going to turn this around. Hoping for a blockbuster trade that moves us up in the draft, so we can get Will Smith. He is 2nd only to Jack Hughes for American ppg @ 2.00. He is friends w Cutter, n will be joining him at school in the fall. We also need a star 1C. It would also be great if we kept our #7, n got Ryan Leonard. That would give us an elite all American first line for Torts to work his magic with. 🤞🏻

[@th1pool]

I’m loving this new direction, finally seems like we have some leadership willing to call the team’s BS like it has been. I only wish this would’ve started a year or 2 earlier….we could be so much further along already.

[@OutlierConcepts]

"we lost our spot" Best summary I've heard so far....

[@yossarian1385]

Get on board the bandwagon now, my friends. Leave the hot takes & skepticism behind. Given where we were just a year ago with the Dave Scott & CF show, it's astonishing to see things take such a positive turn at the top. I see Briere & Jonesy's mission as reclaiming the legacy of Mr. Snider and I love everything I've seen & heard so far.

[@OutlierConcepts]

You can tell Torts is excited now that he wont have to tip toe around management.

[@ryankerr7278]

Let's go FLYERS!!

[@swimer90987ao]

Hope so!

[@Jake-qn3uz]

In Jonesy we trust

[@Jimmyfly215]

Both Briere and Jones have played here to know enough what the standard is. They are hell bent on getting that back

[@shawnbennett894]

This reminds me of jobs we all have had where the people behind the desks have never done the job. Now, those guys are saying get out of my chair and let me show you how to do it! I have owned LeClair and Brierre jerseys for many years. I proudly wear my orange and black in Eastern Washington. Let's go fly guys!

[@ChaimShekelstein-ht6vd]

Let's go flyers

[@jefft9893]

Love these types of behind the scenes hockey shows. Flyers def moving in right direction. They better sign a couple D-men though or they'll destroy Errson like they did Carter Hart.

[@michaelcrowers6628]

I love the flyers and am a huge fan of both jonesy and danny. I am a life long fan through thick and thin and will stand by win or lose. I feel bad for carter because of the defense in front of him he does deserve better and defensemen do win games it is not all about scoring. Hockey is beautiful because it is a symphony of three different lines playing in harmony knowing exactly where every person should be and their role. Please don't trade carter hart he is who I come to games to see and is a bright spot with true talent. I would look for is players that show amazing stick handling ability

[@ohnohedidnt4444]

Briere was electric on the ice! Hope he is just as good at being the GM..

[@CosmicDr3amr]

Please for the love of god DRAFT MICHKOV!!!

[@paulwomack3845]

They SHOULD draft him, IF he's available @ 6. Don't think he will be.

[@Frank065]

@@paulwomack3845 If you want to take him at 6, they'll have to trade up because the Flyers pick 7th

Coming off the best season in his career. Amazing what all those Buffalo guys are doing now that they're being coached properly.

get rid of Laughton, Konecny & Hart this summer. They don't fit this timeline and the Flyers have ALWAYS held on to veterans like Laughton way too long.

[@shellysmith1037]

maybe it was a mistake to hire the Spittin' Chiclets' crew to be your social media team. Jonesy ought to get that crap straightened out asap.....

[@och70]

Not buying the hype. I'll only believe it, when I actually see it.

[@KingOfEmptyPromises]

The most poorly run organization in the NHL, and possibly all leagues.

I'm happy to have heard Valerie Camillo left -- getting rid of one woke diversity hire is a start; getting woke Comcast to sell the team is the end goal.
