So the team played like that on purpose or they really do suck.

Not sure what he thought he saw in Alberta. I disagree with him. But maybe he thinks they did try

Expects Scott to be the coach for the rest of the year.

Fletch says he hasn't spoken to Q.

Basically said that the team wasn't buying into the message the coach was sending.

He singled out the Calgary game.

Fletcher doesn't question the talent of the team, either

Why would anyone want a 3 time Cup champ as their coach, right?

I do agree that the puck management and turnovers on this team are horrific

I wonder with Gordon coming up could it lead to Aube-Kubel or maybe other guys he might feel ready coming up?

I would have no bad feelings if Weal was waived for Aube-Kubel.

I think it's more that Quenneville has probably sent out signals that he's on a break

if we're not getting a full time coach until the end of the year... can we really expect trades before the TDL?

Hakstol was a classy guy...never said anything to make me dislike him. Im disappointed that he didn't have the success here, that form all evidence of what others have said, that He was a tireless worker and deserved better. But this team stopped responding to him in large spurts, that really started a year ago.

as a fan I'm glad they made a change...but I feel bad anytime someone gets canned. I wish him luck ….but I'm excited this is just another move in the right direction for an organization that needs that.

- landros 2

It’s a shame that they waited 2 years too long to fire hakstol. Having to walk into the arena 41 times a year where people are chanting for you to be fired isn’t fair to anyone.

Sign me up, only one problem...Ottawa doesn't want an 8M dollar player or Stone would of been re-signed. So use someone else other than Voracek.
- Glak18


Well Voracek's contract was semi-front loaded so its more like a 7 million a year deal.

It is unbelievable to me how you can be where they are on special teams and not replace the assistants too

I simply do not get that

They're gonna get rid of them once they have a coach and not Gordon filling in.

Who you replacing them with?

I get your thoughts but I think it's a slow process because you want your coach to make those changes.

Not one of these assistants will be back after this year.
