I said it before, and I’ll say it again.

I almost want this team to win enough where we stay in the playoff race but loose enough to get Dave Hakstol fired. I think we’ve shown what we are under his leadership, which is not very good. I think we could be a lot better under someone else’s guidance. I think if we go 4-1 against the Ducks, Kings, Sharks (Easy lost no matter who you are) and the Yokes twice, These are fake victories. Just enough to keep Dave Hakstol behind the bench for way too long.

I’m really worried that Ron Hextall doesn’t have the heart to make the right decision in this case.

Or maybe he does and that right decision is sticking with Hakstol and the players sacking the (frank) up instead of quitting on their third coach.

This whole thing with stapling Vorobyev to the bench and giving NAK the same number of minutes on the ice that someone gets at the WFC during stoppages in play......is this the NHL version of #PettySZN between Hakstol and Hextall?

Third coach? When exactly did you start counting?

Lavy, Berube, Hak... And yes G, Coots. Jake, Simmer have quit on the first 2. Those are the important ones cause if they quit the rest follow.

What you’re asking doesn’t make sense. The team isn’t playing well. You put no blame on the coach and you feel like we should stack or stalk up on more skilled players.

Are you one of the people asking for Simmonds to be traded too? I’m confused.

I am asking the players to take responsiblity for their lack of execution and correct it. If they don't do that then it doesn't matter who the guy behind the bench is. How many coaches does a core get to run out of town before the focus starts to look at them?

If I'm not making sense it might be you who needs to re-look at what happens on the ice. You know where it doesn't matter what the coach tells the players, it matters what they do? How many turnovers at the blue lines end up in an odd man rush? That not system (coach) that's players (execution). And this issue isn't with the scrubs of the roster it's with G, Jake, Coots, Ghost, Provorov.

Darling just returned last night...

Doubt you'll find anyone on here who thinks that. Given the opponent and the fact he was just recalled I found it a bit odd but if the coach didn't want to dress both of them in the first game after the recall not that big of a deal.

Finding it a bit odd isn't setting what's left of my hair on fire and running around flailing my arms. If the GM is recalling players I'd think in most cases it's to get them in the lineup.

Need to carry an extra forward on the road. It's that simple.

Yep 4 game west coast trip need that extra forward along in case of someone gets nicked. Easier to have them already there than having to get them out there from wherever the Phantoms are.

Dear God,

Can you convince JvR’s knee to heal. Hart to become Brodeur and Hakstol to be fired within the next year?

Claude Giroux alone is a prove 80, 90, 100 point collector no matter who the coach is. Wayne Simmonds is the second highest PP goal scorer since being traded here. We know what the players are. It’s the coach’s job to lead and guide them and make the smart decisions to help us win games. Hakstol hasn’t done that. At least very few lately.

Exactly, the guy had 102 points last year. What else would you like him to do?

You are focusing on one side of the game. Try looking at the other side you know the one where you want to stop goals going into your net. The one that everyone pins on 3 guys but it's really on 6. Until the Flyer play a 60 minute 200 foot game they will be mediocre. OH Wait I used the dreaded 200 foot game that Hakstol and Hextall have been preaching for 4 year.

Maybe back check when he makes a turnover or he's the closest guy to the play when a turnover happens? G isn't the biggest offender of this but he's done it.

Guess you've been to every practice to know he's not trying to teach them to play a 200' game.
