Honestly, what’s it gonna take for Hexy to fire Hak? I can’t even imagine it.

The players can defend him all they want but I highly doubt that Pilates Curves going gym coach can fire this team up. Dude has zero energy on the bench.
It doesn't matter who is out there. Their goal isn't setting up the slot. We have multiple players who can play there. They don't, by design.

Who? Outside of Patrick and JVR.
Simmonds, the hands are gone.
Voracek, has the size but can't shoot and doesn't play well in traffic.
Couts, to some extent but he's not a great closer.
That's about it. TK tries, but his size is an issue in crowds.
Weise?
Lindblom? Maybe down the road but has struggled to close the deal. Still climbing the learning cuve.
We really miss JVR, and we need Patrick to develop into a 30 goal scorer.
It's a balance, on the one hand you want the fast forwards who can drive play, on the other, the slot scorers who can handle traffic and have the quick release and accurate shot (because it's a very small window) and can score goals.
JVR was signed because of an obvious imbalance, Allison, Ratcliffe, Strome were drafted for that reason.
In today's NHL, you can make all the pretty plays you want, but if you're not shooting from the slot you'd better have a body in the crease because good NHL goalies (Ok, we're not used to that) will pretty much stop anything they see from 20' and out.
You named several. They aren't being set up in the slot. By design.
Just watch where there are setting up shots. It's clear as day.
Can someone post the video of the asian classroom chanting Fire Hakstol?
Are these guys professionals or not?Must be hard on the players goin' to the rink not knowing their line combinations!
Poor Konecny!!!
Never have I seen such a dysfunctional coach....no,no wait!
Atom coaching by parent helpers!!!

So you are OK with the musical chairs,hide and seek and " put you in time out chair' games Hakstol has resorted to with the young kids and is grasping at straws to keep his head above water!Are these guys professionals or not?
If they can’t deal with a line change they shouldn’t be in the NHL.
And it’s not like Konecny hasn’t played with Couturier & Giroux before.
My God the lengths some people go to to bash every decision the coach makes & set up every excuse possible for their favorite players.
That said, I think Konecny should be with G & Couturier. While I understand the desire to make each of the top 3 lines scoring threats, the first line desperately needs Konecny’s speed.
HAHAHAHAHA. Misfit toys have no chemistry. One player moves around the lineup and it all dies HAHAHAHA.Are these guys professionals or not?

He'll be gone soon but the lets see what happens but these players should NOt need to get amped up to play in Philly. Its dead players also and Hexy said he'll start looking around and that meant players.So you are OK with the musical chairs,hide and seek and " put you in time out chair' games Hakstol has resorted to with the young kids and is grasping at straws to keep his head above water!
Injuries occur and that's inevitable...it's the nature of the beast! Trying to fill the hole can be a burden but at least give opportunities to the young crowd!
I haven't bashed Hakstol lately cause I can see the written on the wall!
So can you!
