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

What's up, sport?

Not so much my belief in the short term success in the Flyers.

Or a trust in a hierarchal system of Franchise accountability after that Hexy interview.

But my drive and will to be accepted by you Scoob, that runs deep.

Hextall:

"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."

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.

I think it comes down to one thing really.

Hex/Hak are trying to stick up for the team, and more so its youngsters.

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.

I think the difference from the start of the year is just teams knowing how to play us. Relentlessly pressure our young d. Be physical at every opportunity. They know we don’t have the skill or speed to work around our physical limitations

Couple it with a group of vets that run high on emotion and are easily frustrated and this thing has snowballed

Right or wrong, the goaltending tandem does not really provide a consistent cushion for a young D core. That doesn't help things.

There is a way to do that but also be honest about where the team is at.

He could have stated that he expects more from the vets. He expects more from the goalies. That a 9 game losing streak is unacceptable.

6 worst team in the league.

Anyone think Hextall was just putting on a face to not promote panic to the masses while he's really spinning the wheels on some big things behind the curtain?

That and the flyers as an organization have always poo pooed the 3 vs 3 and shootout.

They never have treated the shootout as anything but a nuisance gimmick when it is a part go the game and it’s not going away

Hextall is a longtime fan favorite in this town. If it were anyone else I think he'd be getting put through the ringer right now.

I'm kind of expecting the radio guys to lay into him heavy today after these comments. Most people weren't probably weren't watching his presser late last night and haven't heard it yet. We'll see.

Kind of what I said in the summer - I think scoring will be up but goals against will also be up.

People didn't believe in the computer either.

That being said with all things it'll eventually calm down. In the mean time I'll exploit it for my own financial gain

Yea they have. Ghost has been a wreck. Sanheim has been poor in battles and last night gave up the blue line too easy on the first goal.

Hagg has been ok but is a zero anywhere else but his own end.

Not saying to bench them it’s just something their working through.

If I had some unregulated digital currency that I could exchange at a 1: 11,000 rate of hard currency, I'd sell immediately.

I dont disagree.

One thing I will say, I stand behind Giroux. Guy was put into the role of being the face of the franchise at a very early age. Which was questionable after what had just transpired with Richards. Has been a good soldier on a club that has been an absolute turd for quite a few years.

G is my boy.
