I've long wanted NBCSN to do their part and start airing more diverse teams, but I feel like Arizona/Minnesota is just a deliberate "here, see what happens when we don't show Chicago and Pittsburgh every other night?" kind of move.
It doesn't help that even Pierre, who usually handles every game with a fresh batch of ants in his pants, sounds like he absolutely hates being there right now.

Was it Cory's first season here where he only allowed 2 goals every game but never won because we scored 1 or 0?

Yes. That was the Marty vs Cory year where for whatever reason they only scored for Marty.

It was that puck handling by Marty that was supporting our offense for years clearly.

I'm not sure who I have in my hot seat power rankings for coaches, but I feel like McLellan is the obvious choice, I like the Hakstol choice as well. I think he's a lame duck and was never extended. Unless they purposely didn't announce it, for fear of Flyers fans causing a riot and boycotting.
And Bruce Boudreau seems like another possibility. Minnesota made a GM change this offseason and Boudreau survived that, but this isn't the same regime that hired him and they could decide to can him and hire their own head coach if they keep floundering and getting outshot badly every night.
Mike Yeo seems to be another favorite for the hot seat right now.

How the hell can you not have that clueless putz Phail Housley on your list? I didn't think it was possible for me to hate another human being as much as hate Peter Karmanos, I have daily fantasies of strangling him until the shit comes pouring out his nostrils on the steps of the Hartford Civic Center with a cheering and delirious crowd carrying me away like the quarterback who just won the state championship. My hatred of Phail and that other moron Botterelli is quickly reaching that level.

Do you think Housley is on the hot seat? I think he should be, but I wonder if Botterill is trying to hold out, since he's only allowed so many firings before he too gets the boot.

We're only a handful of games in, but it really feels like there's going to be a lot of muck this year. So we may likely see next to no movement in coaching because of "parity"
McLellan and Yeo would be my top choices, though. The Blues needed the exact opposite of Yeo.
Flyers games are starting to remind of last year's Islanders games where every shot winds up in the back of somebody's net. That finally led the Isles to clean house, so maybe the Flyers go that route too.
The interesting ones to watch for me are LA and Stevens, because they look slow and disjointed. They didn't sign Kovy to maybe fight for a wild card spot.
And also... Boughner and the Panthers. They had that impressive run to end the season, but an awful start killed them. They weren't afraid to get rid of Gallant midseason (in humiliating fashion) -- so maybe they try and avoid letting a rough start put a dagger in their playoff hopes.
Maybe the Kings and Panthers don't fire their coaches, but I can't see either team sitting on their hands too long.

Goals against review for tonight, starting with our game.
Stars vs Devils: Khudobin allows 3 goals, thought he could have had the the Dea goal, not much of a chance on the other 2 goals. Kinkaid gets the shutout.
Canucks vs Penguins: Nilsson allows 2 goals and the first goal was really poor. Went right through his arm. No chance on the other goal. DeSmith allows 3 goals. Had no chance on the first two, but the OT winner was very poor. Went right through his arm.
Avalanche vs Rangers: Varlamov allows 2 goals, no chance on either. Lundqvist allows 2 goals, no chance on either.
Panthers vs Flyers: Hutchinson allows 5 goals and 1 stoppable goal. Elliott allows 4 goals and 1 stoppable one. Pickard allows 1 goal in relief and no chance on it.
Hurricanes vs Lightning: Domingue allows 2 goals and no chance on either. Mrazek allows 3 goals and 1 stoppable one.
Oilers vs Jets: Talbot allowed 4 goals and I don't think he really had a chance on any of them. Hellebuyck allowed 5 goals and I thought 2 were stoppable. The OT winner was a pretty weak goal to allow. Not sure how that got through him. I thought I watching Pavelec again in net for the Jets.
Coyotes vs Wild: Dubnyk allows 1 goal and it's a very poor one. From a dead angle and goes in with a little room left open on the short side. Kuemper allows 2 goals and the first goal was a very bad one. It's gotta be the softy of the night. No chance on the second goal, but that first one was really poor. Just a clean wrist shot from probably 50 feet out and goes past his glove.
Sabres vs Golden Knights: Hutton allows 3 goals and 1 is stoppable. Fleury allows 1 goal with 36 seconds left in the game, that erases his chance of a shutout and I feel like he should have had it. The rebound was poor and then goes through the 5-hole. He's taken out of the play, but the puck is already going in when the contact is made.

I think Yeo sucks and always have, but I also feel like the Blues are a very weird team in that they're probably a top-10 roster in terms of talent, but also have a bottom-5 goalie tandem. Jake Allen is not a good starting goalie at all and Chad Johnson isn't good enough insurance for a mediocre starter like Jake Allen.
I definitely think Stevens could be on the hot seat, as I mentioned him the other night. They've been getting outplayed badly in a lot of their games. I personally don't see them as a team that's a legit threat to compete anymore, but they're also not bad enough to bottom out. They're a bubble team to me.
I'm not sure about the Panthers. I feel like they won't be so quick to pull the trigger on Boughner like they did to Gallant. It all depends on what the owners want to do, they obviously pull the strings there. I do feel like if they miss the playoffs this year (and I picked them to before the season started) that this is it for Tallon as the GM there. He might be kept in some kind of a role there, but I think he loses his GM position if they miss the playoffs this year. And I don't see anything special that Tallon has done down there, outside of drafting high picks. He also f***ed up the expansion draft for them. That was a horrid move.
It will never not be funny that the Flyers goaltending is cursed since Hextall. Bryzgalov firing the puck into David Clarkson is how I imagine every single one of their goalies.

Someone else pointed out that one of those 4 is the goal awarded for winning the shootout.
They actually only have 3 real goals.
Don’t the Panthers have like a woeful .850 save percentage so far?

The Devils have a culture of failure
Two historically awful starts to a season in a row for the Yotes. Biggest teases in the league.
Geez dude, tell us how you really feel.
