Post-Game Talk: Islanders Defeat Flyers 6-1

[BringBackHakstol]

This is infuriating that we are in this situation right now. And we all saw it coming with this coaching staff

 

[JojoTheWhale]

I think Jeff uses that rope for autoerotic asphyxiation.

Way, way too much credit. Lacks structure. Not his style.

 

[Garbage Goal]

Hak already survived TWO ten game losing streaks. It shouldn’t surprise anyone that Hextall is still all ride or die when it comes to Hak,

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

You really bring the intensity Hak, you're just an absolute force behind the bench you stupid ****ing paste eater.

He wants them to get back to basics. Because he is a basic b***h.

 

[deadhead]

Voracek and Simmonds have been dogcrap this season. Lehtera has been one of our best players (in his role of course). Go figure.

If you're gonna fire the coaching staff and tank the season, go all the way and blow up the roster and make it clear that no one's job is safe.
When the players half-ass it and you fire the coach without other changes, you're scapegoating the coach and letting the players off the hook. And they get the message. Why listen to the next coach when there are no consequences?

These are the times when a GM finds out which players are worth keeping going forward, and it's not just games, who brings it in practice, who's out partying at 3AM before a game, etc. Some players hate losing and some players are happy to cash a big paycheck.

This team underperformed for Lavi, for Berube and now for Hakstol.

 

[Tripod]

Boy, that is a coach you want helping along your young players.....right under the bus with Pimp.

Ok Hex, another kid has been broken. Mission accomplished. Send him back to AHL to get built up again.

Hakstol's comments on Vorobyov are the type that a fired coach makes. If he can't trust Vorobyov then why did he dress him? That's BS. You don't say that stuff about a player to the public.
What has to happen here is a combination of things. Bring in a new coach and you can expect a ten game burst of energy. After that the same old same old will set back in. The players are accustomed to roles on the club which are both good and bad. Fire the coach but then also bring in new players. They don't fit together in order to play winning hockey. At this point its lucky if they can play a good shift much the less a period or a game. Hextall has an embarrassing grease fire on his hands that he never expected. Too bad. He has to man up and kick some asses. Its about time and they earned it. Its what the GM is paid to do.

Thought so too...

"I was dangling off the end of that rope, you know, and I started seeing stars. I thought 'Stars aren't going to get us out of this one, you know.' So I battled. Like a fourth liner. I like the direction it went."

 

[Vikke]

I said prior to the season that I won't watch another game until Hak is fired. I'm starting to think I won't be seeing the Flyers in a year.

Why does that myth keep getting repeated on here?

 

[Hakroach]

I really hope the players would revolt because that's the on!y way see for firing Hak.

 

[TCTC]

Why does that myth keep getting repeated on here?

Probably because the 10 game winning streak felt like a losing streak to some people.

 

[TCTC]

I wouldn't mind a hockey trade at this point. Losing Hakstol and shaking up the "core" may be the spark this team needs.

 

[DancingPanther]

A good vote of confidence to the rook. Nice job coach.

This guy is a f***ing disgrace.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

What the heck is going on with the Flyboys? Does Provy need to sit for a game with the popcorn?

The Hawks go for their seventh win tonight. I don’t think anyone saw that coming. Mandog has been a force out there and beat up a hapless Ranger on Thursday night.

WTF does Manning have to do with the current state of your team? And he was worst Hawk player against Rangers if you read Hawks GDT

I came around to see if there was any light at end of tunnel and Flyers a team I have enjoyed watching for years (Naturally couldn't cheer for you in 2010) would wise up and fire your terrible coach

At this point I think its time for Hak and Hextall fate to be intertwined and for Flyers to move on from both if Hextall is willing to not only overlook what is happening but to defend it

Also Vorobyev getting thrown under bus by coach who clearly hates him is not good confidence builder for kid

 

[nuclear reactor]

You're probably right. Now they're probably going to win 1-2 games in California and nothing will change.

This season is lost already.

Yup. A nice 2-2 trip will be sold as an improvement.

 

[Tripod]

Why does that myth keep getting repeated on here?

It's just like "Luke, I am your father".

That was never the line that was said but that's what has been written so many times that it's believed now that it was.

Spoiler

it was "No, I am your father"

 

[StarterHart]

Is this what "sacking up" looks like?

It's all part of the plan, friend. Following a similar path, Sanhiem's impact was delayed for about a season. It's the rite of passage.

 

[WheresMySnare]

Fire this piece of shit coach

 

[bennysflyers16]

Now is the perfect time to fire him and go with Knob. Put it all on the players to prove they are what we think they are.

He had a typical, once a game Manning highlight reel mistake in the first period. After that he wasn’t too bad. Picking a fight at the end of the game ensured he would be in the lineup tonight...lol.

looks like the best players are past the point of being worried about being traded. they are fed up with having to carry this coach and want him gone. as has happened in the past, watch them trade some players and watch them blossom with another team, because they get proper usage and not square pegged into a round hole.

Flyers tradition.

Did they come close to a second one at some point? If so, that’s probably it. Otherwise, I guess it’s just one of those Shazaam by Sinbad type of things. Guys been here a long time so I’m sure there’s some conflation or losing streaks somewhere.

Just one ten game losing streak is more than enough for my point to stand here either way.
