I know he is. But certain things you have to open your ears to when listening to these guys. There’s no bigger jackass in the world than Howard Eskin but when he speaks on flyer injuries...listen up

Homer's hands are technically on the wheel again....

Is that not the truth?

Do you not see the roster this coach has to work with? The "goaltending" this coach has to work with?

The PK has been terrible under Hak & Lappy no matter who the goalie has been.

Elliott actually has a really good ES SV% as a Flyer. His PP SV% is terrible, but it's hard to blame it on him when the PK is no better when other goalies get used.

“For those wondering...you couldn’t ask Hextall to fire Hakstol for a coach like say Quenneville, because he would never do it.

You may have to remove the guy at the top and then make the necessary coaching decision.”

you're on fire today. i can't wait until the last quarter is pumped in.

I've been saving up for this day.

Well actually, I thought "this day" would be Hakstol's firing, but Hakstol's Firing Eve is good enough.

the movie is so goddamn funny. it really is.

"you know what i love about this job?"

"you mean besides nothing?"

at the same time, who was out there that could have truly been considered a legit bridge until hart, sandstrom or someone else arrives in a couple of years? hutton? lehner? please.

With the chances they give up shorthanded, no goalie is going to look good. Once the other team is able to set up in the zone, their pk is a disaster.

So they may very well go ass backwards and bring in a coach first. That always works so well

i'm just waiting for gleep glop and and phwoopdewoops.

Christmas music?

I didn't know you liked Andy Williams!

It's the holiday season
With the phwoopdewoop and ol' gleep glop
And don't forget to hang up your sock
'Cause just exactly at 12 o'clock
He'll be coming down the chimney
Coming down the chimney
Coming down the chimney, down!

Everyone and their Brother has been calling for the coach to be fired!

Yeah, it's painful to watch. It's like watching Latvia PK against Canada.

Curious where Hextall would end up as a GM next.

Edmonton? Anaheim?

I think that hat he ate after his Trent Klatt proclamation in 1997 affected him.

Depends where a team is.

He showed great moves in getting picks and prospects but what did he show to push a team over the hump?

Maybe a team looking to tear down and rebuild.

Anaheim.

they hung both goalies to dry vs toronto. could have been 8-0 before toronto scored their 5th. stolarz did a great job.

that was beer league effort defense. trust me on this.

That I don't have the answer too. But that is what Hextall is paid to do. He failed, horribly, at providing this team any kind of stability in net.

What is it, 5 goalies used in 23 games? That is inexcusable.

We, the posters on hockeybuzz, stated it many times over that the goalies on this team couldn't be counted for the entire season and Hextall's solution was to pick up, off of waivers, a backup AHL goalie.

I mean if we the posters on this site can see it, the guy being paid to run this team should have been able to see it.

Wasn't that Eskin?

Just wait for the Jake and Carter Hart for Rinne or Soros deal!!! People will be flipping!

republican flyers fans will be pissed about soros, that's for sure.

hammarby has played goalie for one of my teams before. He speaks the truth.
