Former Flyers Fan
What year?
****. Seems like it should be sooner.
LOL. He does misbehave a lot.
Striiker doesn't get his privileges back until the Flyers win the Cup again.
That's the epitome of "Throw the book at him"

It's not the first time that Ghost has locked horns with the coaching staff. It happened two seasons ago as well. Hakstol was on him to change his game a bit and to be more defensively responsible. Ghost blew that off at that time as well.It’s more or less an overreaction.
The only thing I can think of is a week or so before the trade deadline... Ghost ousted Gordon about usage in an interview and then Gordon did the same to Ghost not much later in the day... he said “Ghost needs to earn those situations. The turnovers and his play has not done that”. The quote isn’t verbatim, but it’s basically the same thing. Mgmt didn’t appreciate it and that’s when we saw Ghost have ~13min TOI the next game and didn’t play on the PP.
Yeah... he then became a 65 point Dman. This is his worst season offensively, but he was 2 points under his 16-17 stats, but had 2 more goals.It's not the first time that Ghost has locked horns with the coaching staff.

Do we have a “Hurry the **** up and fire Mimsy” thread yet?
As long as that imbecile isn’t behind our bench ever again it’s all goodDoes he need to be fired? As far as I know the interim tag was never removed and thus an official firing is unnecessary. Just need an announcement for the hiring of a new coach. I may be wrong though, I'm sure someone will correct me if so.

Why are so many posters unable to see things except as binary? My believing that too many excuses have been made for the players over the span of multiple scapegoated coaches is NOT equivalent to arguing that "coaching doesn't matter."So coaching doesn’t matter? We have had a incompetent coaching staff for far too long.
This is a flawed team. I have said it numerous times. But coaching matters.
Have Hakstol and Gordons system of teaching guys how to play been fine?
Again, this roster has issues. But lets not ignore that this organization has had well below average coaching and management for far too long.
Sabres fired Housley, your turn Chuck
And less than half his PP points from the previous year because it was sabotaged.Yeah... he then became a 65 point Dman. This is his worst season offensively, but he was 2 points under his 16-17 stats, but had 2 more goals.
And at some point, it's bad coaching more than the players and roster. Take the 2018-19 Flyers for exampleWhy are so many posters unable to see things except as binary? My believing that too many excuses have been made for the players over the span of multiple scapegoated coaches is NOT equivalent to arguing that "coaching doesn't matter."
It's simply recognizing that:
Ken Hitchcock, a Stanley Cup winning head coach with one of the all-time best NHL winning percentages, was blamed and fired after starting a season 1-6-1.
Peter Laviolette, a Stanley Cup winning head coach who is top 20 all-time in wins, was blamed and fired after starting a season 0-3.
Craig Berube, who just took over a St. Louis team that was in last place in the entire NHL and led them to the missing the division title by 1 point & to 4th in the conference in points, was blamed and fired after taking the Flyers to the playoffs one season and missing the next.
Dave Hakstol, with a .560 career points percentage and playoffs in 2/4 seasons despite awful goaltending in 3 seasons, gets blamed and fired after a 12-15-4 start.
Scott Gordon, who takes over midseason and gets them to within 3 points of a playoff spot after his first 2 months taking over a team that was in the bottom 3 in the NHL, following 2 successful AHL seasons, and goes 25-22-4, is blamed and fired.
At some point, maybe it's not all on the coaching and more responsibility lay with the players and roster.
Boughner out from Florida alsoSabres fired Housley, your turn Chuck
And yet we twist in the windBoughner out from Florida also
ShitAnd yet we twist in the wind
So mad about those 8 minutes for Hagg.
I’m on team McLellan now. Make it so, if it’s not too late.
I may be the only, or one of the only, posters on this board who was disgusted with Ghost's play this season and thinks he should be shopped, but I have no doubt that management sees him the same way I do.
He's a goner.
