Q & A with Ed Snider

Flyers owner Ed Snider sat down recently with Courier-Post beat writer Chuck Gormley for an interview. Here are some excerpts: Q: You've changed your general manager and your coach but the results are the same. Will there be more changes? A: We've made all the changes we're going to make. Even if things don't turn around, there's not a hell of lot we can do at this point. [ . . . ] Q: Is there anything more you can do as an owner? A: I really think we have to let it play itself out. And if we end up with a horrible season then we'll build from there. But we can't panic and we can't go out and make stupid deals. We can't make deals just to make deals. In my mind we're not going to be making any deals. I don't see any on the horizon. [ . . . ] Q: Will Paul Holmgren remain GM for the rest of the season? A: I'm not at liberty to discuss that at this point. To summarize -- no changes can be made to improve anything, no changes will be made to improve anything, and you still don't know who your general manager is. Is there anyone who thinks this isn't a recipe for a Stanley Cup?
