Its already at that pointHextall has shown he is loyal and patient. I believe he will fire Hak long after he should have.

no offense to any of you but if some of you were the GM we would probably go thru about 20 coaches a year
I thought lavi needed a longer leash....the only 2 coaches i wanted gone so fast is berube and haktard! Lol i didnt even want berube to coach at all let alone be an assistant coach/ hc.no offense to any of you but if some of you were the GM we would probably go thru about 20 coaches a year

However i gave haktard a chance and hes failed miserably in my opinion, so yes some may want to fire a lot of coaches but not me....but i really hate and hak and wish hed **** off and go back to the cornfields
If the season goes to shit it'll be blamed on the players for sure, even if it's clearly Hakstols fault.I think honestly unless this season completely goes off the rails Hak will be here for the season. So we are probably going to be a lot of angry around here. I don't hate Hak. Do I think he is a good coach? No. But I hated Berube. I haven't reached that level with Hakstol.
I am not convinced that Chuck is the answer either as HC. He came here as an assistant with zero NHL coaching experience. Like Hak.
Hakstol isn't getting fired on something as minor as that challenge.
And he's unlikely to get fired before the end of the season.
My expectations is the Flyers will get 40-45 points the first half of the season, then 50-55 points the second half.
If the Flyers don't show significant improvement, especially the younger players, then Hakstol might get canned.
But if they miss the playoffs b/c the goalies suck, that won't be held against him (Hextall's fault).
Half of this roster has less than 3 years experience, so Hakstol's real job is to bring these kids along.
If a veteran or two is unhappy, Hextall will be happy to find them new addresses.
AHA! Hextall settled for a mediocre goalie in Elliott and injury proned goalie in Neuvy as scapegoats to keep Hak for another season....

75% on the refs and you're calling out those who are hard on Hak?It's funny how everyone wants to throw Hakstol under the bus here based on a failed offside challenge.
If they would've won that game, how many would give him any credit for the 3-1 start?
It's comical how some can ONLY be critical of the coach. It's even more comical than the guys who only ever see a problem with the players.
That game was lost 75% on the backs of the refs, 15% on the backs of the coaching staff (the challenge) and 10% on the players who couldn't close out the game despite the other 90% of fail.

The last time we fired a coach a handful of games into a season and promoted an assistant we got Berube.
Berube was objectively worse.
Let's not do a Berube again please.
What would you guys think of Alain Vigneault if he became available?

Don't worry, if they hire another coach y'all will hate him too.
Even if he wins the Cup, the next season you'll hate his roster moves.
