GDT: PO # 5 | FLYERS at Penguins | Fri., April 20, 2018, 7:00 p.m. ET | NBCSN, CBC, TVAS, ATTSN-PT, NBCSP

Filp as the 1C, Sanheim being scratched and more than likely that Elliott is going to start? Yep, an automatic loss. And it's going to be an embarrassing loss too. Pens, I hope you destroy us so bad that it forces Hexy to fire Hak and the assistant coaches.

I feel very very confused. It's hakotage I suppose - that has to be the only explanation right?

He can't believe these changes are most likely to improve our chances against Pittsburgh, can he? If he does, Hextall has no ability to assess coaches which is troubling

 

[Striiker]

On the bright side, that's the best line TK's had all series.

So baby steps, I guess. Just give Hak another 30-40 playoff games and he'll get this right.

 

[Jtown]

this is the end for hak. So he is gonna go out with a bang.

1 line Flip Lehtera Weise
2nd line Manning
3rd line patrick amac weal

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Listen all y’all it’s a Hakotage!

 

[gertbfrobe16]

he either knows he won't get fired or hopefully this is the last act of a desperate deadman walking.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

The fact that Manning is STILL playing over Sanheim is hilarious. I mean... every f***ing thing Manning does is garbage. He will fumble every puck chance. He will miss a blocked shot when he needs to. He will do everything wrong and yet he's still allowed to play. This f***ing coach...

 

[BernieParent]

How the **** do we post gifs in here nowadays???

As a photo.

 

[FlyersMania2]

Considering he's the one who signed both of these guys and is responsible for assessing their ability...



Also - that's it? Circa 06-07 dumpster fire season where it was always Nitty's fault? That's what we're implying? Lack of goaltending is the cause of this 3-1 series? Nothing to do with personnel decisions which might include pulling a goalie after 3 in say game 1 and game 3

 

[1865]

You know what might work? Konecny on the top line. I mean, it was working for an extended period until Hak blew it up. Let’s go through every single other available option until we go back to that.

Hakstol as the captain of the Titanic: "Quick, let's hit the iceberg again. It might plug the hole!"

Hakstol as the captain of the Titanic: "Quick, let's hit the iceberg again. It might plug the hole!"

“This is your captain speaking. We’ve decided to leave the life boats on the island and we’re taking another run at that iceberg.”

 

[Jtown]

Hakstol as the captain of the Titanic: "Quick, let's hit the iceberg again. It might plug the hole!"

"Hey Hexy, this Iceberg plays a heavy game, positionaly sound. Easily top 3 dman. Let's sign him"

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

 

[Harhis]

On the positive side, this MIGHT (probably isn't) last game as a Flyers for Manning, Lehterä, Flip, AMac (one can dream) and last game with Haktard behind the bench.

 

[bennysflyers16]

I have never hated someone in the organization as much as this clown. These line up changes is why Hexy should of fired this POS last night.

Haag hasnt played in a month, inserted for 3rd best D
Flip as top line C, quite possible the worst center in the playoffs.

Hextall should be ashamed for what this has become.

 

[ItMe]

It's the last playoff game, there is no reason why the youngsters shouldn't be playing. It's experience at this point. Sanheim ,Leier, Hagg...Put them out there.

Hakstol is a disease! Hakatitis A, B, C, D,and E, Hakphoma, Hakemia, Hakthrax, Hakmydia, Hakenpox, Haktheria, Hakbola, Hakorrhea, Hakfluenza, Haklaria, Hakingitis, Hakneumonia

 

[Ms Maggie]

If Filppula is on the first line and Sanheim is out for Hagg, I'm boycotting this game.

Really? You think lines are the big problem here???

 

[FlyTimmo]

Really? You think lines are the big problem here???

There are many problems. But having the lines be garbage doesn't have to happen

 

[Rebels57]

• 1C Flip
• Sanheim (OUR LAST GOAL SCORER IN THE f***ING SERIES) scratched instead of Manning for Hagg
• 3C Lehtera
• MacDonald promoted

Hakstol is the worst coach in the history of Philadelphia sports at this point.

If he's still here in October, tomorrow night is the last Flyers game i'll be watching for a long time.

 

[gertbfrobe16]

Really? You think lines are the big problem here???

big problem is the coach that makes the lines and has trust in bad players that the good players don't trust and the good players having no trust in the coach. it's a vicious circle of mistrust that the gm doesn't see because he trust the coach that no one trust.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

If only the Flyers had a 102 point scorer who played center the majority of his career.

 

[boxcar65]

Manning has one turnover in four playoff games. He is right up there in blocked shots. He has also been moving the puck fairly well out of his zone.

Last night he got beat in a two on one situation by two world class players. It happens. He was also slightly up ice on the breakaway goal, but Konecny and Gudas were there as well.

No, Sanheim should not be scratched, but #23 is the convenient punching bag(as usual). I hope he goes somewhere and scores 30pts next year on a team with a solid D core.

 

[Harhis]

If only the Flyers had a 102 point scorer who played center the majority of his career.

But deadhead told me G can't play center anymore?
