Dave Hakstol Part III

[Curufinwe]

How cool would it be if Hakstol was fired mid-season, and a new Sullivan-style coach came in and the Flyers went on a deep playoff run.

We could all have Gritty Playoff avatars.

It’s nice to have dreams, no matter how crazy.

At this point, my dream is that he simply doesn’t get re-signed.

sad thing is, that gif could be seen in all 82 games. AMac falling on his ass leading to an odd man rush.

When you consider that Lavi spent a couple seasons having no idea what to do with the roster he was given it's been a stupidly long time since we've had competent coaching.

It Sanheim did that the Hak Lovers would FREAK OUT condemning him as a terrible defensemen and saying that’s why he doesn’t get used much. But since it’s Mac, not a single peep out of them.

 

[Tripod]

Well, to some extent.
Hextall's job is to get rid of the players who can't or won't learn.

And that's why you see people ragging on his about AMac.

MacDonald occupies this grey area of being neither “heavy” (he gets so physically outmatched it’s farcical).....nor “reliable” (he doesn’t just make death by 1000 cuts mistakes, he makes BIG sword in the belly ones).

Nothing matters. He’s a rule breaker. A trend setter. A trail blazer.

Sullivan was their AHL coach so......Go Gordon Go!

Jeff when he realizes the kids are all hurt, he can play his mediocre slop more and then blame losses on injury

 

[Chinatown88]

Anyone trust Knoblauch enough to be head coach?

Yep.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

If they ever decided to make a good sports movie, like a "Tin Cup" of hockey, for example, they could use actual game footage of Amac and no one would buy it, thinking it was too farcical to be believed as realistic.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

I just want to say that I am super uncomfortable with us hypothetically hiring Mike Sullivan. That guy is an ass rocket.

I am typically ALWAYS against revisiting ghosts of Flyers past but I'd welcome Lavy back in a heart beat

Hell yes, flaws and all. In a heartbeat.

We'd compete basically every game.

Seeing this nonchalant team on the ice, just as we did under Stevens is painful to watch

Lavi is more or less the only coach I have liked since Keenan, and I liked him while he was here. Technically "there," since I am in the middle of nowhere.

 

[Curufinwe]

Sure. Give me that young Knob.

 

[Prongo]

Sure. Give me that young Knob.

I’m pretty sure that’s the guy waiting in line once they can Hakstol

Jeff when he realizes the kids are all hurt, he can play his mediocre slop more and then blame losses on injury

At least he can't blame "youthful aggression"

Isn't it interesting how the "unbiased" posters on here never complain about MacDonald (in fact, they make excuses for him) but they constantly cry about all the young players that Hakstol misuses.

That's a funny little coincidence, aint it?

Maybe they think MacDonald is #6 and Sanheim is #47?

 

[Lindberg]

Anyone trust Knoblauch enough to be head coach?

Nope. The #2 PP looked like a mess for far too long.

I would like to see Hakstol canned by the end of November and Knoblach named interim coach for the rest of the season to see how he does. That way if it doesn't work out they can just release him and sign somebody in the off season.

 

[Asnito]

Also why do you guys spend so much time arguing with certain posters about Hakstol. These guys are probably just shut ins with nothing to do with their time and are looking for people to rile up.

 

[Curufinwe]

Yes, I'm sure playing Lehtera and Manning on PP2 over Sanheim was all Knoblauch's idea.

 

[Beef Invictus]

I wonder just how much say either of Knob or Lappy have over their units' deployments and personnel.
