Post-Game Talk: #80 | FLYERS at Islanders | Tue., Apr. 3, 2018, 7:00 pm ET

100%? Hyperbole much?
Lehtera got burnt on a bad turnover by Provorov at the offensive blueline.
The goaltender blew chunks.
And Simmonds cost them with two inexcusable defensive plays, just like he cost them last game against Boston.
A lot of blame to spread around here.
On the positive, they moved Patrick to PP1, & he came through huge.

You’re right that it’s not 100% on Hakstol, but Lehtera even being the lineup absolutely is. No excuse for him playing while Laughton sits.

its like pro-wrestling...we all know whats really happening but hak/hex/broadcast crews all pretend its not....they all act like this idiot isnt f***ing everything up.

This team and coach deserve to get mutilated by Boston in round 1... if they even make the playoffs.

Playoffs will be nice, but hopefully Bolts or Bruins sweep them at home and the Fire Hakstol and Fire Hextall chants rain down from 20,000 Flyer fans.

 

[Prongo]

I was thinking Hextall might try to re-sign Simmonds but it’s clear Patrick is ready to take a huge step next year. That front PP spot is going to be hid from now on.

Simmonds gonna get a haul at the draft.

 

[RANKKA]

jackets showing us how to really make a comeback

 

[bennysflyers16]

Jackets win

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Lulz, Lehtera couldn’t even hook Barzal.

 

[Tripod]

CB wins in OT.

 

[Petr Svoboda Mullet]

It’s an easy decision JJ and Jonesy. Simmonds shouldn’t sniff the PP1.

But he’s a heart and soul guy!!!

 

[GirouxCouturier]

This is kinda f***ed. Not how I expected this night of hockey to go

 

[Bleed orange]

Not to let Hakstol off the hook, because he was once again brutal with his ice team decisions, but my goodness, Mrazek is awful.


Average goaltending and that’s an easy win. Average goaltending this whole season and the flyers likely win the division

 

[GirouxCouturier]

Panthers still up 1-0

 

[Prongo]

Hextall hate is in full swing. He’s not the problem. Building a team we all wanted with high draft picks while removing scum that was here when he took over. He isn’t finished making this roster his still.

 

[onlylordsvsmorebp]

chip off the old hak...

 

[Flyrs21]

Hell put Lehtera out there at some point obviously in the last 6 minutes or whatever but did you REALLY have to put him out there after a goal scored?

A peewee coach knows that you just took all the momentum away and you don't put the 5th line out there

 

[Striiker]

Playoffs will be nice, but hopefully Bolts or Bruins sweep them at home and the Fire Hakstol and Fire Hextall chants rain down from 20,000 Flyer fans.

Fire Hextall chants would be pretty stupid, but I guess the average fan doesn’t really realize what he’s done or the pros and cons of keeping him.

 

[Domino666]

I can’t stomach a pre or post game show anymore, all of them are just towing the company line, it’s awful

 

[tictactoe]

CB wins in OT.

f***...

 

[Jray42]

"It turned into a foot race between Matthew Barzal and Jori Lehtera, and that's just not fair for Lehtera." Chris Therien

Barzal would need to tape his legs together and use his stick as a ski pole in order to make that a fair and equitable race

 

[bennysflyers16]

You’re right that it’s not 100% on Hakstol, but Lehtera even being the lineup absolutely is. No excuse for him playing while Laughton sits.

Him seeing the ice after they fought back to tie it is unacceptable,

Luongo is a brick wall

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Hey Lavi, please start playing with some jam out there.

 

[onlylordsvsmorebp]

Lulz, Lehtera couldn’t even hook Barzal.

hahahahhahahagha.

 

[Embiid]

chip off the old hak...

Actually kind of looks like Hartnell and Hak's love child...

You are at least 100 million percent right, but I want to emphasize how important it is to, as you said, not let Hakstok off the hook.
