Keep on
Keep on tanking

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Sound about right for a shit PK coach and a shitty head coach. I'm not surprised that they seem content with this.

 

[Jtown]

if we can somehow get embarrassed this game and the islanders game. Hak could be gone.

Lehtera and Weise were among our better forwards against the Avs.
Weise almost scored, which is more than you could say for our top line, and had fine possession stats and hit people.
Of course, he was doing his best Raffl imitation since Raffl was injured.

The alternatives right now are Vorobyev and Knight, though won't surprise me if Vorobyev plays for Weal.

Put TK on the top line where he obviously beings and give him the ice time he obviously deserves and it'll get going.

Boston could easily dummy us. NYI is a tossup due to the talent disparity but they are better coached and Trotz prepares well so we could easily lose to a worse team that is better managed.

Talent isn't that far off. They work way harder to.

Talent is pretty far off.

They don't work harder. They work inside of a better system so they are working towards something that works better.

boston could dummy us or we could win. WE are schizophrenic in that sense. If the islanders beat us 4-1 or 5-1 i think that will be a tell tale sign that Hak has lost the players attention. I hate to say it but i am actively rooting for blowouts this week.

 

[kelmitchell]

Already feel like we lost this game and its days away.....this is seriously the worst time ive ever had as a flyers fan

Wouldnt mind if they beat us by at least a touchdown, and in the reports it says "OWNERSHIP HAS HAKSTOL ON THE HOT SEAT" which tells me hextall doesnt have the balls to man the f*** up and admit he made a mistake

Go watch the for check the hustle. Flyers are slow and really don't care right now. That game last night was terrible and that players dude but you love them and that's ok. Coach is gonna go but it's still the same boring players

I think it is safe to say that the clock is ticking and two coaches could be gone within a week or so.

It's also safe to say that if that happens we will know within a short timespan if coaching was the problem or not.

The same thing was said in 2009. Then we got a competent coach and the exact same players ran to the Finals without a goalie.

Way better players two way and skating wise. Way better team period and Stevens still took them to the ecf and if kimmo and coburn play who knows. This team has as nothing on it like that team.

Actually, Leighton had his one good season that year, and it wasn't the coach or system since he went downhill after that - as Mason has shown us - goalies are strange creatures - or look at Murray in Pittsburgh, world beater to world beaten in two years.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Flyers will go down 1-0 or 2-0 and TK will be right back to the 3rd line for Weal.

He lost several good defensive players that covered for him.

No. I think this must have been 2006/2007 including the second half of 2005/2006.

 

[The Burdened]

this could be ugly.

You're really going to sit here and act like Leighton was an asset in the 2010 cup run? First, he only played in 14 of the 22 playoff games. And aside from an abysmal third pairing, he was arguably the reason they lost in the finals. I've seen you make some bizarre arguments on here, but this has to take the cake.

 

[kelmitchell]

No because that was a more short term thing, this has been 5 years of the most boring and unispired hockey that i can remember

 

[Bruckuss]

Hot take, we need to figure out a system that works, for the best players we have, to get more goals than we allow. It's simple Dave, and you are a simple Hack.

The past sometimes appears brighter than the present. But I wouldn't want to argue about it because obviously it depends upon the perspective

Beginning of the 90s also were depressing for a Flyer fan. Heroes of the past leaving, missing the playoffs for several years in a row...
