Agree with Hammar!

Of the candidates mentioned, I vote for Hunter as well👍

Per twitter:

“TK nearly in tears sitting on the bench in front of his stall after this loss”.

Carry on my wayward son.

Voracek saying the team played scared and when asked about the Pittsburgh game Saturday says I don't think it's ever a good time to go to Pittsburgh. I'll give him one thing at least he's honest lol .

Shame

Remorse

Hatred

With your hands

Disgusting loss. What will it take for these players to get their head out of their asses!

A new coach?

Someone to explain to them hockey fundamentals?

i'm sick to my stomach over all of this....the last 7 years.

i've been quick to point out bob's playoff failures, but jfc, that guy should be our goalie right now. let's just start with that.

Need be tanking hard now

Someone brought up that this team reminds them of that stale Buffalo team that was kept together way too long circa 2010-2014. Man I think they nailed it

Hakstol to rearrange the locker room stalls and bake them a cake

I need to be told how to feel.

LOSE FOR HUGHES!

Hak needs to whisper better into the players ears.

LOSE FOR HUGHES!

Not gonna happen

LOSE FOR HUGHES!

29th spot but work to do. If Kings pull it out tonight we are 3 points out of 31.

Kings did it!!

At this point, I'm kind of leaning toward a new HC/GM - and selling at this deadline, or to be more specific, not making move to get a fart at the playoffs.

How did it come to all this? Jesus Christ.

Take it for what its worth:

"Nope, the main reason was something you didn’t really hear at the press conference.

Hextall was fired because his relationships with a lot of people in the organization soured and he was difficult to work with. He was a micromanager of the highest order. He refused input from others – including his bosses. He kept his cards close to the vest and everyone had a hard time penetrating his well-guarded castle for one.

Sure, you heard Holmgren use words like “unyielding” and “stubborn” to describe Hextall, and he qualified them in a positive light – saying that Hextall never wavered on what he thought was best for the team.

But, the underlying feeling is that his reign as general manager was oppressive – and it was felt that way from the locker room, to the coaches’ offices, to the management team, to the executive offices of the Wells Fargo Center, to the alumni, to the employees of the organization.

You name it, Hextall tried to control it. And eventually, that’s going to bring bad feelings.

Hextall wanted everyone to step in line, and if they didn’t, he was a bit surly with them. Rehabbing players were not allowed to talk to the media. Nor were assistant coaches.

Want to know what Ian Laperriere thinks about his terrible penalty kill or Kris Knoblauch thinks about his struggling power play? Sorry. You can’t ask.

All of this control would have been fine if there was a modicum of success on the ice or at the turnstiles.​"

Well I would agree. I read through the transcript again trying to figure out if that’s on the table. They talk about not wanting to miss out on the deadline. But the deadline is not typically good for lateral swaps or the hockey trades. It is roster players for futures.

I am trying to hold out hope that they were just frustrated with overall inaction...and maybe they want a guy in here to identify the core players young or old and move on from anyone else that’s not. If they want that process expedited...then I’m ok.

Well they all looked far more relaxed out there tonight. The mean mean man is gone

They broke at the first sign of trouble.

This at present time, is kind of a poopty boat with no captain heading into a storm.

I expect that to be fixed in next bit.

Not going to blame a guy if he doesn’t feel like having to answer to Dave the hammer Schultz and co.

Interesting times are ahead

Zito is an intriguing candidate, a bit disappointed he’s not on the lists that have been floated but apparently he recently inked a deal to stay on in Columbus.

Just blow it the (frank) up, I’ve had it. New GM-check

New coaching staff-coming soon

Trade Simmonds and Voracek, and since they’re going nowhere this year, might as well shop Gudas, Weal and Raffl too. Let Lehtera and Folin walk after the season. I’d trade AMac too, even if you retain half, assuming you can find someone to take him and Weise can spend his last year in LHV for all I care.

This team needs a (frank)ing heart transplant. I, like much of the fanbase, have been a loyal fan forever. We deserve better than this sh!t show!

This, there’d be equipment flying around the room if I was on this team.

The video of TK's media scrum is on the team site. He was hard to watch.

Jake's just pissed me off
