These (frank)ing people are severely testing me as a fan

They should never have let Hakstol speak to the media yesterday

Let the Lappy era begin.

it was nice knowing you hak

now we can ruin hart

I don't think anyone other than fans is putting this kind of pressure on Hart.
- shekkie

So let us fans be bigger than all this. Let’s remember he is 20. This is a terrible situation. It they chain the weight of the Flyers on him, throw him in the deep end, the team pulls the 3 Stooges act and let’s him drown. Pinky swear that we, the fans, will resuscitate him.

Love Hart no matter what!

- flyer_nutter

i bet you're happy today

Knoblauch appears to be acting as interim coach.

My god guys. I’ve waited. So long. It’s finally here.

I don’t care who the (frank) is interim. We are free. It’s happened. My god. Freeeedomm!!!!!!!!

we cant stop here trades need to be made

I can’t. I just can’t.

I never thought. After the report yesterday to the denials. I never thought it would happen.

Someone hold me. Let me go. Just my god. Holy (frank)ing god. It’s finally here. We’ve escaped! He’s done! Freeeeeeee!!!!!!

PLind in shambles

This made me laugh a lot...mostly people in hockey. I remember him quite well, no one said that but crazy Leafs fans.

Hart is more comparable to the hype of Carey Price...remember his first couple years he was a huge bust in Montreal then called the best goalie in the world and now currently the most overpriced goalie ever.
- Glak18

I agree Price’s contract is awful but he has never had a season below .900 save percentage and only one season above 3.00 GAA. I’d take that all day long and twice on sundays if we got that as opposed to what we have seen for 20 years.

So let us fans be bigger than all this. Let’s remember he is 20. This is a terrible situation. It they chain the weight of the Flyers on him, throw him in the deep end, the team pulls the 3 Stooges act and let’s him drown. Pinky swear that we, the fans, will resuscitate him.

Love Hart no matter what!

Again....deep end is calling him the starter for the rest of the year. This is just a common NHL call up that has happened with every single young goalie.

we cant stop here trades need to be made
- 2Real

Trades wont be made until we have a coach. He will have imput on players.

No, Neuvirth is out there too.

Is it too early to start complaining about Q playing veterans over rookies?

You know. It’s an amazing thing. It’s been a roller coaster of such emotions. I just wanted this. For so long. So long just for him to be out.

I still can’t believe it. On this day! He is done! Wooooooooooooo.

Somebody hold me!!! We are free from Haskol!!!!!four freakin years too long!!!Holy %$#@ I need a drink

Let the Lappy era begin.
- mayorofangrytown

So wait a minute

Knoblauch is running practice, and Laperierre is on the ice, too?

Have these people ever heard of "firing for cause?"

The PP AND the PK are absolutely broken -- how the hell is Knoblauch running ANYTHING?

This guy either broke or can't fix a PP with CLAUDE GIROUX, JVR, Simmonds and Ghost on it!

They have to fire them all!

So let us fans be bigger than all this. Let’s remember he is 20. This is a terrible situation. It they chain the weight of the Flyers on him, throw him in the deep end, the team pulls the 3 Stooges act and let’s him drown. Pinky swear that we, the fans, will resuscitate him.

You're preaching to the choir here. I have no expectations for Hart other than to play hard using the instructions he's been given over his life as a goalie and player.

End of an error.

Trades wont be made until we have a coach. He will have imput on players.

what about the assistant coaches

Somebody hold me!!! We are free from Haskol!!!!!four freakin years too long!!!Holy %$#@ I need a drink

I’ll suck your wang man. I’m that happy.
