Confirmed with Link: Hextall fired, Press Conference 11/27 11am

[The Rage Kage]

Holy shit. Clearly he supported Hakstol.

I am nervous now though. Not hard to find an even worse GM. He was bad about hak but hopefully whoever replaces him is good with signings and the draft.

 

[Flyers Faithful]

If you’re not part of the solution you’re part of the problem. Hexy refusing to fire hak was stalling this franchise’s progress.

 

[DaphneLion]

I can't believe this
Oh my god I'm speechless
Let's hope they don't bring in a dumbass to replace him

 

[deadhead]

I have great fear, I just can't see Holmgren hiring a smart, progressive GM.
Sixers redux, here comes the hockey version of BC.

 

[The Burdened]

YESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WE'RE FREEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

YOU'RE NEXT, HAK

long overdue. Hextall deserves this 100%. He blew he dream job.

 

[1865]

I can only imagine this is because he wouldn't sack Hak.

I literally can't believe Hex has gone. He isn't the problem. The next GM is walking into a dream job. An NHL franchise with an unbelievable farm system and potentially great roster - and all you have to do is sack the coach and earn the love of the whole fanbase overnight.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Here come the trades to “shake things up”. Wonder who could be at the top?

 

[Jtown]

i really don't want to hire a hockey guy as gm.

 

[Curufinwe]

If Hexy refused to fire Hak and it cost him his job, then he's a complete moron.

If the Flyers higher ups think the team's issues are mainly on the GM and the current coaches are fine, they are complete morons.

 

[PALE PWNR]

Good. Like I said in the Hextall thread a couple nights ago. Thank you for your service Hexy, I appreciate everything he did and most of it was good rather than bad. But it was clear he did not know how to take the next step in the process

 

[Protest]

Awful

 

[The Rage Kage]

If Hexy refused to fire Hak and it cost him his job, then he's a complete moron.

If the Flyers higher ups think the team's issues are mainly on the GM and the current coaches are fine, they are complete morons.

Yeah... and the fact that they didnt say anything about Hak worries me.

 

[Curufinwe]

Most likely someone we all love who will go on to be great on another team.

Like Ghost.

 

[Flyers Faithful]

Get Stevie Y on the phone, stat!

 

[BritainStix]

Ffs. Again, I am in the boat of he wouldn't fire Hak. It can be the only reason surely.

Love what you did Hex, but man did you back the wrong horse when it came to coaching. It cost you your job.

Probably means we are getting Lombardi

 

[1865]

Just a thought....Yzerman? We're much closer to Detroit than Tampa is.....

 

[BringBackHakstol]

I am very uncomfortable about this

 

[Protest]

So I guess we'll be buyers of old overpriced has been's at the deadline.

 

[Curufinwe]

Yeah... and the fact that they didnt say anything about Hak worries me.

I'm going to pray it's cause they're working out a deal with Q and once it's signed, then Hak is fired.

 

[Jtown]

hexy should not have made hak his front line.

 

[Danko]

Wow, this is not the move i was expecting. Hexy really did blow it however. All he needed to do to prolong himself was fire hak.

 

[FlyersMania2]

Philosophical difference AKA we wanted him to fire the coach and he wouldn't

 

[David St Hubbins]

link to press conference?

 

[bennysflyers16]

Sucks, but I knew he would go down !!

Stubborn POS

 

[kudymen]

I cant believe Hextall was the first one to go
