You know what's funny is I feel more people would trade Couturier then Simmonds if you asked them.

Sells like stock. I have a few bitcoin but better moves if your not in bitcoin already is to go with litecoin or etherium. Can use apps like coin base to manage.

So who do you sell the bitcoin to? Is there a bitcoin shop? It seems like it's worth a lot of money, but only imaginary money.

You're conveniently leaving out the part that he's completely shot.

What are you talking about? He's a 2/PPG player at the Winnipeg Men's league level A.

Oh god....Hextall might be a disciple of process > results.

This franchise might actually be in serious trouble.

If you look at the way we’ve played from the start of the year, I’m pretty good with the way our team has played. Pretty good with the way our team has played the last nine games. I think tonight we ran out of energy. Obviously results lately are not very good. We deserve better, but we haven’t gotten better. Obviously we gotta find a way.

Ron you’ve been in this city a long time. Do you know how that sounds to fans when you’ve lost nine in a row and you’re saying you’ve played well?

Have you seen our games?

I have.

How do you think we’ve played?

Not well enough to win all of them.

Not all of them. If we were playing poorly, I would be the first to say we were playing poorly. We are not playing poorly. To look objectively at our team right now, and say, ‘Are we playing poorly?’ No. Are we shooting ourselves in the foot at times? Yes we are. Critical mistakes at critical times? Yes. It’s kind of what happens when the snow ball starts to go the wrong way and you start doing things that are unpredictable.

If you took the score away from the last nine games I’ve seen and told me we’re 0-9, I’d be like ‘come on.’ The point is we have to find ways to win. Nobody is looking for excuses around here. We are gonna battle though this. If we thought we were a really poor team, that’s totally different. Losing nine games in a row is unacceptable. Let’s be real. It’s not acceptable for many franchises and certainly not ours.

In saying that, as a manager, I've got be realistic with how our team’s playing. Let’s say the last nine games we were .500, 5-4, somewhere in there. It’s not great, but it’s not bad. It’s what we deserve. Now again, we shot ourselves in the foot. But as a whole we’ve certainly played better than our record.


I read no happy in there at all.

Digital currency. You sell it to people looking to purchase bitcoin like a stock.

PLEASE, NO!

The guy can't play. His career is over. Let it go.

He said he's not happy with the results, but that he has no issues with how they've played during the 9-game losing streak (i.e. "We are not playing poorly").

So maybe not happy, but he is at least content with it.

That's not how I see it. I read it as our assessment from yesterday. They don't know how to play with leads, don't know how to win yet, and key vets are making ill-timed mistakes.

That said, I thought they were overall pretty bad last night. Easily the worst game of the loss streak.

I use coinbase. It's like a stock trading app only for digital currencies. Like I said I recommend litecoin etherium and bitcoin atm. I have a ton of the first 2 and a few the latter

The Flyers have become an easy two points for the other team. I'm truly astonished it has gotten to this for such a proud franchise.

They are a boring, easy to push around, weak-minded team. For how he played the game when he was our goalie, the GM version of Ron Hextall is the polar opposite. At this stage, I'm beyond a little disappointed.

I understand patience, but I'm beginning to wonder if this is just patience "pains" or we're just not a well constructed team. I understand we are not Stanley Cup contenders, but we should be better than this.

Pretty good/happy

I'm really not interested in arguing this. His comment reflects complacency.

This is Hextall not accepting reality. Your record say what you are.

A quarter of the way through the season and you are 6th worst team in hockey!

I don't understand how people don't have a bigger issue with his comments from last night.

He is saying one thing but every single indicator says something different.
