GDT: #32 | Stars at FLYERS | Sat., Dec. 16, 7:00 pm ET | NBCSP, FS-SW+

[Foggy14]

Dallas is the heaviest team in the business. By far.

Yeah, and it looks like Hitchcock has been packing on the pounds again.

 

[Stizzle]

How long until Elliott burns to the ground from overuse by Hakstol?

The games have been nicely spread out. Do yo really want to throw Lyon in with his recent AHL record?

I'm hoping we lose every game so Hak gets fired and really could care less if Elliott gets burned out. But it will happen eventually with this usage.

Cool attitude!

Me and you both

 

[klutch]

Yeah, not the team I'd want Lyon to get his first career start against.

 

[TheKingPin]

Hopefully we can jump on them early. Nothing about this team says jump though.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Not that I really care about this current situation but in general one of these days Hakstol’s gonna have to unclinch his butthole with one of these younger goalies.

 

[Chicken Chaser]

Going to this one, lets GOOOOO!
Also anyone have experience with Xfinity live after a Flyers game? Folks i'm headed down with mentioned they wanted to head over to it once the game ends, I've never been.

I want Hak gone, and it sure looked like Elliott was spontaneously combusting early in the Sabres game (until Patrick put out the fire).

But I want the Flyers to win, and am pretty happy when they do.

I guess I'm confused, and about as bi-polar as this crazy team.

 

[deadhead]

It's really simple, if they get hot, make the playoffs, Hakstol must be a good coach. So no problem if he stays.

If they crash and burn, he's gone. So no issue. Until the next coach installs a similar scheme and we have three more years of whining about how boring it is, unless of course they win the Cup, in which case all is forgiven.

In between, probably another year of whining about Hakstol, unless the kids come up and they finished with 100+ points.

So problem is solved, except of course for those who'd hate Hakstol even if he was embracing the Cup.

That makes no sense.

If the players get hot then it's because of Hakstol? By that logic you must blame the entire losing streak on him, right? And if they miss the playoffs then it proves he's a bad coach? No, of course not.

If they make the playoffs with this roster and our division he deserves to stay and we will have enjoyed all the wins we would need to make the playoffs. If we don't I'm sure Hextall will try to find someone he likes better after the season.

Lot of lame fair weather fans out there. Hoping the team will lose with only a third of the season gone.....embarassing.

To be fair, just because we make the playoffs doesn't necessarily mean Hak is the coach to take us to the promised land but it definitely does mean he's earned another year.

Usually on weekends its fun. Just make sure you have a designated driver.

 

[macleish1974]

Excitable aren't we? Maybe a little Warren Zevon's "Excitable Boy " would be appropriate??

Happy Holidays to you. On a more somber note I am worried about this game cause Dallas plays a heavy game and our young D better be on their toes. Quick passes and get the puck in their end and get on the fore check. I would love to see Patrick have a good game. I am still upset with Hitch and what he did to our Justin Williams

Dam I miss that guy.

 

[Doodootheclown]

I enjoy watching the Flyers win. Hopefully they make it 6 in a row!

 

[The Rage Kage]

Ill be writing an exam during this one. Hope they succeed while I fail

 

[Ghosts Beer]

So they hired young Davy to the NHL
Excitable fans they all said
And they went to the playoffs and then just missed
Excitable fans they all said
After 3 long years they let him go from his role
Excitable fans they all said
And he won back in college while the new coach was worse
Excitable fans they all said
They're just some excitable fans

 

[flyershockey]

Hakstol had one Frozen Four appearance in ten years at UND. He didn't win there either.

Hell of a recruiter though.
