GDT: #30: FLYERS at Oilers, Friday, Dec. 14, 2018, 9:00 pm ET

[Beef Invictus]

I have no idea how MacD managed to get demolished there.

 

[BobbyClarkeFan16]

Come on Chuck and do the right thing. End this abhorrent nightmare called Dave Hakstol and just let Wilson run the show until Quenneville's ready to come in. Jesus H Christ this has been awful.

 

[Cody Webster]

Lol. McDonald just tossed to the side

 

[Here4ThaLids]

I swear, MacDonald gives me like five full-on belly laughs every game.

 

[Jray42]

Scott said that while talking about why they moved on from Hextall. Context is really important.

To play devils advocate though, wouldn’t Hakstol be gone now then?

I’m playing both sides here because I think the right answer is somewhere in the middle

Dave has to get fired after the canucks game

Tonight. Why wait

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Tim Saunders said "The Flyers have not a lot of energy...I'm not sure why... they had optional practices.... it is not fatigue."

It may a loss of drive and interest in addition to being outskilled and outcoached and anything else. The emotional strain from that dramatic loss at Calgary is not acceptable. There should have been fire; there isn't an iota of evidence that the eagerness of redemption was a component. Not exactly a win one for the Gipper or zipper.



...and it won't smell too good.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Was that a faceoff set play designed to set up a f***ing point shot without pressure at the net!?!?!

 

[Oskar Man]

Andy the human speed bump

 

[Jray42]

Yeah that’s a bad pass TK come on now

It's up to Fletcher to sort out and the guy has a lot to parse through.


And may have to wait for Q to make up his mind too.

 

[Cody Webster]

You could almost see that one coming

 

[Tripod]

Jakey scores

Giroux unlucky

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

0-for-30 with my gambling.

 

[Cootsfanclub]

JAKE !!!

Scott said that while talking about why they moved on from Hextall. Context is really important.

I'm trying to find this to see the EXACT full context and the only places I see this quote is where it was written in articles as a response to if the Flyers were interested in Quenneville, not that it was why Hextall got fired.

If you can find somewhere that shows this was said in response to a direct question about why Hextall was fired, I'd be happy to see it.

"It was Ron’s decision all along, and it was never discussed with me. My feeling right now is that under the circumstances, with the injuries, I think the coaching staff has done a decent job," said Holmgren (h/t ESPN).
Therefore, if Hakstol cannot turn the things around in the next coming months, could the former Chicago Blackhawks head coach Quenneville be the next guy behind the bench for the Flyers?
According to Dave Issac of the Courier-Post, Scott did not shoot down the idea. In fact, he said that Quenneville’s name came up when the Blackhawks let him go earlier this month, but Hextall wanted to stick to his own path.

This makes it seem like Q was brought up to him as a possibility for future changes, not that Scott listed it when talking about Hextall.

 

[Fire Tortorella]

woo

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Yay?
Shutout busted, anyway.

 

[Jtown]

If we come back and win im gonna kill myself

 

[Beef Invictus]

Lol. McDonald just tossed to the side

It was amazing. Kassian was going a single MPH faster, bumped him, and Mac looked like he got plowed.

 

[Tripod]

It was Couts!!!

Yeah Jtown!!!!

 

[Beef Invictus]

If we come back and win im gonna kill myself

I don't think you need to be worried about expiring tonight

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Buddy needs to wake up first.

 

[Rich Nixon]

Giroux getting points is all I care about now.
