Dave Hakstol Part VI: I See A Bad Coach And I Want Him Painted Black

[Ghosts Beer]

Deadhead believes not a single coach in the league is better. Whenever another coach is presented as superior, he insists that coach isn't better. The only possible conclusion is that he has Hakstol ranked at the top.

Entirely Hakstol. We've watched for years as goalie performances good enough to net a win anywhere else get pissed away by the Hakshell. They lose more games than they should because of horrific management.

Especially when you consider that he wore the goalies down to a nub with irresponsible usage.

1. You’re exaggerating.
2. You’re exaggerating.

 

[Magua]

And at this point I wouldn't be even 1% surprised if that pathetic c*** Hakstol was intentionally tanking and misusing the young guys because he knew he was getting fired.

Just look at the player usage since Hextall got fired... ****ing disgusting.

No, that's literally what he's done. He has been given numerous chances to list coaches that are superior and he can't think of a single one. When other coaches have been presented as superior, guys like Trotz, Q, Sullivan, Hitchcock, Julien, etc, he insists they are not superior.

No, I'm right.

 

[deadhead]

Nah, I'm just bored by one track Beef and refuse to take the bait.
Some people here are knowledgeable, Appleyard, Magua, others are just, well . . .

Sources?
This is another vague allusion to what?

Doug has sources in the NHL Seattle ownership group. He's been pretty reliable so far.

Have we missed the boat on firing hak? He seemed to save his job on the western road trip earlier in the year and now that they've floundered again most of the better options are gone. It's pretty much in house options and i don't know if they can turn it around.

Never saw deadhead say Hak is the best coach in the league, which you’re insinuating.

And if you think goalies have nothing to do with the Flyers’ struggles, just Hak, well, there’s a reason I coined “Hakstol Derangement Syndrome.”

I hope he’s replaced. I’m in favor of Quenneville. But I don’t think Hakstol is everything that ails this team.

DH doesn't believe a single coach in the league is better than Hakstol. There is only one possible conclusion here.


You're doing your garbage contrarian schtick. I'm not wasting my time. DH has been given every opportunity to show he believes otherwise and he hasn't. I never said goalies aren't a problem. Learn to read.

If Hakstool does get fired, the Flyers should hire Vince McMahon to fire Hakstool.

So it’s not “all Hakstol.” We agree. We also agree Hak should be replaced.

And he will be. But they better do it right.

I dont remember Steph Driver ever having an inside source but I do know Charlie wouldnt have tweeted anything if there wasnt any smoke there.

Read the last 2 pages lol

 

[Euforic]

Rumors.... After the Westcoast trip.... Fired

 

[FLYguy3911]

We are going to be a disappointed bunch aren't we?

Deadhead hates you for this post. He might ignore you now

I was going a few pages back and couldn’t find it. Just to have it closer.

i'm all for hiring Quenneville but I'm not going to get excited.

We've been down this road many times where the Flyers make a big splash and it ends being nothing more than a turd dropping into the toilet.

The most realistic expectation is that Quennville has a nice run of three years before the situation burns out. And one time in that run the Flyers make it to the 2nd round or if lucky the conference finals. If they're lucky maybe another run similar to the Hitchcock era, but that would be a little overly optimistic.

i'm not panning Quennville or saying "don't hire him", I just wouldn't start thinking he's some great panacea for all the problems in the organization.

As I've mentioned many times, in the end nothing ever works out for the flyers. Ten years ago, I was at the point with the Eagles where I said "F them, they are never going to win anything". I'm at this point with the Flyers.

Flyers win cup in 2028. Book it.

oh please let this all be true. i don't even care about the Q stuff. ok well i do, but i want Hak fired the most.

 

[TheKingPin]

Wow Hak could be fired for Q. That’s unreal as far as upgrade. I am excited!

 

[deadhead]

Deadhead hates you for this post. He might ignore you now

Why. All he said is Q won't be available for Seattle. Duh.
I don't need inside sources to figure that one out.
If Q returns to coaching, it won't be for an expansion team.
It's doubtful Seattle will fare nearly as well in their ED as Vegas.

Seriously! Although work might be tough with a week long stiffy.

Not to jump in on the bickering, but that's not all he said. He also said that Q would be hired before the roster freeze and then dropped the #GrittyHate at the end. Pretty clear to me.
