Hexy did do some good things for sure….he made some mistakes…hopefully for you guys he’s learned from his mistakes. To me it’s no different then a coach learning from chance to chance.

you would hope.

i hope he has clearer timelines though. for the next two years, the future simply does not matter. i dont care if the logic or numbers say move malkin/letang and try to recoup assets to make a painful rebuild potentially less so. its going to suck anyway. enjoy this last year or two. when it ends, it ends. at that point, dont worry about toeing the line between now and future. draft and develop and if it isnt bolted to the floor, strip and sell. no need for moves like signing JVR etc.

I would have liked to see ANY urgency. That was ridiculous.

Yes, but they are a better and smarter franchise than the Flyers. So that does not really translate to this decision. If Cliff does not work out here, I seriously doubt that he gets another GM position. Particularly, a position with one of the best teams in the league.

And if Hextall doesn’t get it done in Pitt, his GM career is probably over as well.

They did but the alignment was stupid. Atkinson on the half wall? Why is Giroux not there? Atkinson is the team's best shooter. He should be a shooting spot.

Akinson could of literally taken the puck right to the net.

boston would have scored on their first chance to send it down the ice.

what does get it done necessarily mean though?

the move right now should still be to try to win. however, thats a long shot with the team. odds are, another cup isnt coming. then it becomes a longggg march through the desert with very little water. they wont be competitive again for a while. if any organization was set up to be receptive to a "five plus year plan", it should be them.

They managed to go the last 4 minutes with an empty net.

Yeah really. If you pull him with a tad under 4 minutes why not when you has the PP?

I noticed Hart wearing the floppy neck protector.
Was it mentioned during the broadcast?
I am assuming it is in response to a horrific tragedy in a high school game in New Canaan, CT last week.

I have every expectation that we will get to 10 losses again. Two 10 game losing streaks. Wow.
