"There is a darkness inside of me. It wants to get out. It wants to walk around. It wants some walking around money. It wants to buy some shoes and walk up to the people and say, 'Misha don't play no AHL sh*t!' You feel me?! Misha never been about playing no AHL sh*t!"

I was wondering that earlier. Obviously no extension yet. I think if he misses the playoffs or doesn’t win a series this year he’s out. If he wins a series then I don’t know. It would be great if Tampa imploded and cooper was fired for us.

You want to hire the coach of a more talented team because his team imploded?

Maybe these things resolve themselves?
Like if the Flyers do get 100+ points and into the second round, given their good but not great talent, Hakstol > Bowman the last two seasons :sarcasm:

I'd rather a coach look stupid and the team look smart than the other way around.

You’re obviously always going to have logistics when doing an 82 game schedule for then 30 teams but now 31 in multi-purpose arenas. But cutting down traveling costs was a key topic in the last CBA & they obviously added playing every team in the league at least twice.

It sucks but that’s probably what is causing it.

Don’t worry if he does, Lou. He’s a dime a dozen. They’ve got Twarynski & Aube-Kubel who could step in & replace him if needed & probably be better.
I'm hoping he gets claimed with he glut they have on the phantoms. They need to free up some spots and he seems like a hard worker to deserves a chance somewhere.

Did they cut Weise yet?
No...not yet.

He has been waived but it doesn't mean he is demoted. Leier could get demoted and Weise kept assuming neither get claimed.

CDP, I expect every GDT to see a new GIF of The Pimp strolling down the street! I would love to see this whole sequence with The Pimp! Especially if he walks into the tailor shop with no hat on, then comes out with the hat. :D

Yep. I'm cheering hard against Tampa this year. I want to steal Cooper too.

Also not ruling out the forgotten man, Knoblauch.

Knob could be cool if he really is a pace guy. Cooper is a great combo of structure and pace.

Chances are they win the cup imo.

Well I think the of Tampa fails it’s not on cooper. Stamkos seems so lack luster. He needs more swagger to lead imo. So they do something crazy like miss the playoffs or a first round exit to a team Florida they could be drastic and fire the coach.

I also think the flyers have a 100+ pt team. They weren’t that far off. An extra win and an extra OT gives us that. That’s with making one of the best third lines in hockey with Simmonds and JVR with Voro potentially. My point is don’t be surprised if we got that mark and don’t give Hak props. There’s a lot of talent here to ride. Any good coach would jump at a chance coming here. You’d be inheriting a cup contender.

Not a good feeling about this one. Vegas' track record @ home won't bode well for us. I just hope Elliott plays above what I expect from him. Fully ready to watch us play a chase game for 60 mins though. Prove me wrong FLYERS!

Elliott is far more likely to get shellacked early and pulled then anything else.

We beat them in their barn 4-1 last year, and were one of the few teams to do it. I'm not worried.
